La Lisse Soie D’Ivoire, 100 % Chenin Blanc

"Soft ivory silk", which is the perfect description of this fresh yet textural Chenin from France’s south. A bright, lemony and densely fruity ensemble which has a long-lasting and pleasing finish.

PAIR WITH: Pair this wine with a nice herb-roasted dish or a seared tuna with kimchi. Soft-shell crab w/ a lemon aioli or red snapper w/ a mango sauce.

Cuvee Jean Paul Rouge, 70% Grenache, 30% Syrah

A classic Southern Rhône red; friendly and warming leafy, autumnal aromas and an ample, baked fruit palate. A delicious, uncomplicated, soft, fruity and very drinkable red.

Krone Brut Rose, 92% Pinot Noir, 8% Chardonnay

Perfect ripeness of strawberries, white peach, with tangy cranberry freshness. Soft lemon citrus notes give way to mousse and toasted hazelnuts.
