| | Vineyard Block Esates Block 530 Delicious! This Russian River Chardonnay is bold, rich and layered with concentrated ripe tropical fruit flavors of pineapple, melon, apple and a hint of banana. Nuances of butterscotch, minerals and spices glide across the palate on the long, lingering finish.$16.99 |

| | Le Dome Grand Bois Cötes Du Rhone Made from a blend of 70% Grenache Noir, 20% Cinsault and 10% Carignan. Ruby red with aromas of red fruit and blackcurrant; fruity and slightly spicy in style with a well-balanced tannic structure. Pair with roast chicken, lamb and goat's cheese. $13.99 |
| | Costarosa Sangue Di Giuda Sometimes you are just craving a little sweetness- This frizzante red is both sweet and sophisticated! Distinct tastes of strawberries, sweet black fruits and with just a tickle of fizz. Chill this down as a grown up alternative to that magnum of moscato. $14.99 |
| | Le Porte Blanche Sancerre We are always on the hunt for a classic Sancerre at a great price! We have a winner- this Sauvignon Blanc has a touch of minerality, mixed in with lemon and grapefruit zest and gripping acidity. $22.99 |

| | Having an Easter Ham?
Pinot Noir is one of our "go to" wines to pair with an Easter ham. It has the rich cherry fruit and earthy tones that mix well with the smokey, salty flavor of the ham |
|
| | Having Lamb on Easter?
The best pairings for lamb can be found in a rich Cabernet or a classic Bordeaux as well as a Rioja. These reds have enough bold fruit and tannin that cut through nicely the flavor and fat in robust meat. |
