New Spring Selections

Fashions change pretty dramatically in the Spring. In our business, while we see the seasonal beers change regularly, new wines and spirits arrive when they're ready, not when the calendar suggests. Here, then, is a look at some of our newest arrivals.

Ravage Cabernet Sauvignon. Inspired by the knight’s code of courage and camaraderie, Ravage is audaciously bold wine for those who never back down from a challenge and always have each other’s back. Our wines are designed by winemaker Bryce Willingham to push your sensory limits to the edge.

Our flavors are smooth, bold and audacious. Dark berries layered with luscious vanilla and mocha to round out the palate. The tannins are soft enough to add balance while giving structure and depth. 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% aromatic reds. Only $10.99 in the Bottle Club®.


James Wyatt Untamed Red Blend. Full-bodied with a warming nose of plum, raspberry, baking spices and oak. Well balanced with ripe fruit flavors, natural acidity and integrated tannins. This classic Grenache/Syrah/Mourvedre blend has been aged for nine months in oak. Pairs well with game, lamb, grilled vegetables.

This is a sophisticated wine that is sure to please many wine lovers. The taste profile is approachable and elegant, which makes this the perfect gift or addition to any dinner table. The grapes for this wine are from the Precept family estate who take great pride in their vineyards from the Yakima Valley. Only $14.97 in the Bottle Club®.

Acre Twenty One Chardonnay. Fresh, soft and food friendly, this 100% Chardonnay shows flavors of bright green apple and juicy pear framed with toasty oak and spice
nuances. Aged in predominantly French oak (30% new), this well integrated Chardonnay will pair well with chicken, seafood or cream based soups and pastas.

The well balanced fruit and oak characters make this a "go to" selection for anyone looking for an everyday Chardonnay. Complex yet friendly, this wine is an easy choice for both dinner parties and simple occasions Only $9.97 in the Bottle Club®.

2011 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova. Casanova di Neri is the outcome of a process of productive and philosophical evolution, a new vision of Brunello di Montalcino that interprets tradition in a different
innovative way. A profound commitment and respect for the land, a conviction that it is the linchpin for the production of unique wines and that the care given in treating the grapes in the winery according to their varying characteristics is what we value most.

95 points from Wine Advocate, and 94 points from James Suckling. The WA review: "This is another fabulous wine from Giacomo Neri. The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova is a deeply layered expression with bold tones of dark fruit that are softened and enhanced by spice, leather, tobacco and balsam herb. The wine is very beautiful and polished with slightly less depth and complexity compared the outstanding (100 point) vintage that precedes it. Despite the vintage variation, this is a wine of enormous pedigree and importance. It is generous and confident with a presentation that offers purity, intensity and persistence. Drink 2017-2030."

Limited availability. $87.99 in the Bottle Club®.
