More New


We like to cover craft beer deliveries every Tuesday, giving us space on Wednesday to highlight other new products. Like these four.

La Tierra Rocosa Cabernet Sauvignon. A fresh and fruity Cabernet with aromas of raspberries, black currants and a hint of chocolate. The medium-bodied palate has ripe tannins, balanced acidity and a pleasant finish. Enjoyed this unoaked Cabernet by the glass, or try pairing with grilled meats, hamburgers or pizza. From the Central Valley of Chile. A steal, at only $5.97 in the Bottle Club®.


Crane Assembly Disciples. This is the first vintage of a new project from Dave Phinney.

In August of 2012, four friends stood in the middle of a block of hundred year old Zinfandel. The vineyard was planted by George Beldon Crane in the late nineteenth century and is one of the icons of the Napa Valley. Hours earlier they had signed the paperwork to buy the vineyard and it was just in the nick of time...they picked the grapes the next morning.

Dark crimson in color, the strong, classic Zinfandel aromas of briar fruit and wild strawberries jump out of the glass and are complemented by hints of wet forest floor and high mountain forest. The entry gives way to a rich and textured mid palate of Mexican chocolate, brambly raspberry and a lengthy, caramelized crème Anglaise finish. This wine is a unique expression of old vine Zinfandel grown in the gravel-rich alluvial soils at the base of the Mayacamas mountain range. $44.99 in the Bottle Club®. Very limited availability.

Squadra Prosecco, Extra Dry. When it comes to grapes for sparkling wine in Italy, the rolling hills of Veneto are unrivaled. This Prosecco highlights the region's indigenous variety, creating a crisp and refreshing bubbly that is as elegant and authentic as the enchanting villas that line the Conegliano hillside.

This bubbly feels equally at home to welcome your guests or serve throughout the meal. Vinified in 100% stainless steel. After fermentation and 3 months on the lees, the wine is bottled using the traditional method. 90% Glera, 10% Chardonnay.

This is a delicious, crisp wine with attractive spices, flowers and white peach aromas. Flavors of green pear, melon, almond skin and ground spices linger on the palate. Made in an irresistible, pleasurable style, this medium-bodied Prosecco is a terrific choice for casual drinking. $12.96 in the Bottle Club®.

The Pinot Project Rose 2015. This rosé marks the latest exciting release from The Pinot Project! The Pinot Project Rosé shows pure PINOT aromas and flavors of raspberries and roses, unoaked to enhance the pure PINK fruit qualities. This wine is a sure showstopper for all meals, seasons, and occasions. Enjoy in moderation as soon as possible. Only $9.96 in the Bottle Club®.
