Malbec 2020

The Viscomi family has been producing wine in Argentina’s Uco Valley for the past decade and oversees a vineyard with original vines dating back to 1975. Respecting the land’s terroir is a priority for the winemakers, which means minimal intervention, hands-on production, and grapes fermented in small batches.

Behind the Bottle

Argentinian Malbec is versatile, affordable, and can be enjoyed in almost any circumstance. Rich with tannins and dark berry fruits, this bottle was aged for 18 months in stainless steel tanks. Sip a glass on its own, or watch the wine shine when paired with any type of meat.

Located on the banks of the Murray river, the Riverland is Australia's largest wine-producing region, where cooler temperatures help ripen balanced fruit year after year. Winemaker Armond Lacomme comes from a long line of farmers who planted vineyards almost thirty years ago; today’s sustainable practices help preserve land for future generations. Plus, a minimal use of oak (sometimes none at all) puts organic fruit at the forefront of each bottle.

Lovers of Cabernet will enjoy the richness of Freehome’s wine that’s laced with ripe black currant and black cherry. Thanks to tannins that are more polished than assertive, our sommelier calls this a “friendly” wine, which is a polite way of saying it goes down easy—don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Master Sommelier

Winemaker Frédéric Moureau was pulled to the vineyards from an early age. With farming in his blood—Moureau’s grandfather is also a winemaker—he received degrees apprenticed at nearby vineyards before returning to his Loire Valley roots. The estate takes a minimalist approach and embraces biodiversity, avoids toxic chemicals, and utilizes cover crops and compost. Even as head winemaker, Moureau recognizes his role is to let nature lead and “stay out of the way as I guide the wines from vine to bottle to table.”

Meet your new house wine. With an intense ruby color, mellow tannins, and hints of raspberry and currant, this Cabernet Franc will feel right at home on your table. Crafted in the small village of Chinon (where Cabernet Franc grapes enjoy a long history) this crisp and vivacious bottle can handle pairings from steak and duck to chicken and cheese courses.


Les Trois Terres Chinon 2019

In France’s Costières de Nîmes region, this 33-acre estate sits at the bottom of the mountains, where it boasts unique terroirs like pink sandstone, black slate, and limestone. As an early adopter of Biodynamic practices, the Kreydenweiss family has been perfecting low intervention winemaking for the past 20 years, leading to this perfect Les Grimaudes blend.

Aged in concrete and neutral barrels, this smooth wine features ripe red and black fruit for a savory-yet-floral finish that explodes on the tongue, making for an inviting and easy-sipping wine. Our sommelier describes this blend of four sustainably grown grapes—Carignan, Grenache, Syrah & Mourvèdre—as “sunshine and freshness; nothing overripe or jammy.” Pair it with the savory char of grilled or roasted meats; it’s also elegant enough for seafood and cheese. 


Les Grimaudes 2019

France’s southern Mediterranean coast is home to Languedoc-Roussillon, one of the country’s oldest winegrowing regions. This is where fourth-generation grape growers serve as caretakers to vines growing on the family-owned estate. To support a healthy ecosystem, the winery avoids herbicides and chemical fertilizers, and uses ploughing and organic compost to tend the soil.

Behind the Bottle 

A gorgeous blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this organically farmed red has an enticing aroma of ripe fruit and spices. It makes the perfect accompaniment to meats and cheeses—although, as our Master Sommelier puts it, “It’s really tough to go wrong when pairing food with this wine.”

Merlot-Cabernet 2020

“Every vintage is a discovery.” This motto propels fifth generation winemakers in coastal Tuscany who are part of a long Etruscan tradition of grape growing in the region. As proud as they are of the past, the Colantuono-Fiorelli family looks to the future by respecting the environment, cultivating indigenous grapes, and elevating wine into an experience that nourishes both body and soul.

Tenuta Santa Lucia

Organic Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and then transferred for a four-month rest before bottling. A juicy crowd-pleaser, this versatile red offers darker fruit and more color than your average Chianti. Our sommelier calls the bottle “bafflingly pleasing” and says it’s ready to go with anything.
