Baumard 2022 ‘La Caleche’
$37.99Low yields, hand harvesting and farmed according to organic principles. 9 months in vats on fine lees.

Bodegas Gaintza 2019 Getariako Txakolina Aitako
$44.9985% Hondarrabi Zuri, 15% Chardonnay
Fully hand-harvested. Fermentation is mostly in stainless steel at low temperatures to preserve aromas, using natural yeasts. Apple and pineapple aromas. Fresh and mineral with good body, roundness and balance.
Ricco Bambino 2018 Muscat
$14.99The winery focuses on creating minimal intervention wines by fermenting and aging in concrete vessels, allowing for micro-oxygenation. This process helps develop a rounder mouthfeel and texture without introducing flavors from oak or additives. This interesting Muscat is a steal at 14.99.
Romiorange Sauvignon Blanc
$41.99This skin contact Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with light dishes – think fresh salads, goat cheese, or delicate fish like sole or plaice. It’s also delightful on its own, perhaps enjoyed during a leisurely picnic or as an aperitif on a warm day.
De Martino 2017 Volcanes Chardonnay
$71.99Off the bat this wine shows quiet elegance, a slow unfurling of white peach and ripe pear, followed by the lift of citrus zest, like lemon oil rubbed between fingertips. Just beneath that brightness lies something deeper: a soft touch of vanilla, warm butter melting on fresh bread, and a whisper of white pepper carried on a cool southern breeze. This premium new world Chardonnay stands up to our old world favoutires.
