Tiberio 2024 Pecorino
Green fig and yellow melon open with rosemary and sage. The palate is round and full, then lifted by zesty acidity and a thread of mineral freshness.

8th Generation 2023 Pinot Meunier Rosé
Clean and dry, with bright red-fruit character and a crisp, refreshing line through the palate. Its light frame keeps the fruit lively rather than sweet, while the finish is precise and easygoing. Serve well chilled alongside salmon, charcuterie, grilled vegetables or a summer salad; it also makes a polished aperitif.
Karthäuserhof 2020 Bruno Slate Dry Riesling
Zilliken 2020 Forstmeister Geltz Mosel Riesling
Fresh citrus and orchard fruit glide across a light, nearly weightless palate, balanced by crisp acidity and a gentle off-dry fruitiness.

Serve well chilled with spicy Thai dishes, pork, smoked trout, roast chicken, creamy cheeses or lightly sweetened fruit tarts.
Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium 2019 Fritz Willi Trocken Riesling

Serve well chilled with shellfish or fresh cheeses.
Robert Perroud 2020 Pollen Brouilly
Blackberry and spice lead a rich yet composed red, with the structure already well integrated into its dark fruit.

Serve slightly cool with roast chicken, pork tenderloin, grilled sausages, charcuterie, lentil dishes, mushrooms or hard cheese.
Roches Bleues 2019 Cote Brouilly Foudre
On the nose you'll find delightful aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, characteristic of Gamay, the grape variety used in Beaujolais wines. Light floral notes of violet and iris add complexity to the aromatic profile. Subtle hints of spice, such as white pepper or clove, may also be present, contributing to the wine's aromatic allure. The palate is marked by a juicy and lively acidity that gives the wine its refreshing quality. Expect a burst of red fruit flavors, with ripe cherry and raspberry dominating the forefront.
Springfield 2023 Thunderchild
Blackcurrant, blueberry and blackberry lead, with black plum and a savoury note of smoked meat adding depth. The palate is broad and mouth-filling but remains balanced, shaped by soft tannins and a generous sweep of ripe fruit. A long, gently fruity finish keeps the style approachable. Serve with roast beef, lamb or grilled portobello mushrooms.
Catena 2022 Chardonnay
A high-altitude Chardonnay layered with citrus, peach and stone fruit, lifted by floral notes, mineral definition and bright acidity. Fermentation and maturation in French oak add breadth and a gently polished texture without overwhelming the fruit. Concentrated yet naturally balanced, it works beautifully with roast poultry, creamy seafood or firm cheeses.

Dry and versatile, it works naturally with grilled prawns, tomato salads, charcuterie or vegetable pasta.
Callejuela Manzanilla Origen NV 750 mL
Lemon peel, white grapefruit and lemon blossom lead a tight, bright profile. Salted almond and a generous wash of sea salt bring savoury depth, while a light herbal-anise note adds lift through the finish. The palate is focused and structural rather than heavy, with freshness carrying the mineral character cleanly. Serve well chilled with olives, almonds, oysters, fried fish or thinly sliced jamón.
Verus 2016 Muskateller 750 mL
Very pale yellow, with an intense Muscat perfume joined by orange and a restrained touch of peach. The palate is slim, clear and lively, balancing gentle sweetness with bright acidity so the overall impression remains nearly dry. Moderate alcohol keeps the aromatics light on their feet. It finishes fresh and persistent, leaving citrus, peach and a clean floral echo.
Hotel Starlino Rosé Aperitivo
Pink grapefruit, lemon and orange peel give a bright, zesty opening, with raspberry and strawberry adding a softer red-fruit layer. The palate is fresh and lightly bittersweet, shaped by wormwood, coriander and elderflower. Subtle anise and menthol notes lend cool aromatic lift, while the finish stays clean, citrus-led and gently floral. Serve well chilled over ice with grapefruit, or lengthen with tonic for a crisp, easy aperitivo.
González Byass La Copa Rojo Vermouth
Blood orange and dried citrus peel lead an intense aroma, followed by clove, cinnamon and a quiet minty note.

Nutmeg, angelica and quinine add savoury complexity without overwhelming the fruit. Serve well chilled over ice with orange, or use it to bring sherry character to a Manhattan or Negroni-style cocktail.
Poplar Grove 2019 Benchmark Okanagan Valley
Juicy red fruit and sweet vanilla open with blackberry, dark plum and a touch of warm spice.
