Antiche Terre Venete Ripasso Valpolicella 2014

Veneto D.O.C., Italy

This robust red wine is made using the Ripasso method to add more depth and concentration to the final wine. This traditional method from Verona area adds young fresh wine to the Amarone skins of the grapes then referments the wine again so there is both freshness and fullness. Love that smoky, meaty, sizzling bacon nose!

2027 Falls Vineyard Riesling 2016

Vinemount Ridge, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada

Winemaker Kevin Panagapka makes this sublimely delicious Niagara Riesling at a virtual winery, meaning he doesn't own the equipment, such as the press and tanks, but rather rents them from another winery. Juicy lime-lemon happiness with a gusher of mouth-watering pleasure. Medium-bodied and food-ultimate friendly.
