1. NV Broadbent Vinho Verde (Vinho Verde, Portugal) – Vinho Verde is Portugal’s most popular white wine, and it’s also one of the most refreshing wines on the planet. A blend of native Portuguese grapes, it is lightly fizzy/frothy and super fresh with notes of green apple and mixed citrus fruits.
2. 2015 Weingut Louis Guntrum Dry Riesling (Rheinhessen, Germany) – The Guntrum family planted their first vineyards in 1648……that’s a long time ago! They’re still going strong today and their completely dry Riesling is a real treat. Ripe and flowing with delicious flavors of white peach, apricot, and pear, try this with some spicy Asian cuisine. Trust us, you’ll like it!
3. 2016 De Wetshof Estate Chardonnay “Limestone Hill” (Robertson, South Africa) – De Wetshof is South Africa’s premiere Chardonnay house, and this is one of the greatest Chardonnay values on the planet. As the name implies, this vineyard’s soils are composed of limestone and clay, ideal conditions for the Chardonnay (ask the folks in Burgundy). Seeing no wood, but aged on the lees for 6 months, this is rich yet vivacious and stylish Chardonnay. A real treat!
4. 2015 Casa Ferreirhina Esteva Red (Douro Valley, Portugal) – Esteva is always one of Portugal’s top red wine values and this vintage is no different. A blend of native varieties, it is a versatile, attractive, elegant Douro red that offers character but is also easy and perfect for everyday drinking.

Located just 15 miles north of Beirut, the estate has been turning out delicious, savory wines since 1930. Their Jeune Rouge is roughly a blend of 50% Cinsault/35% Syrah/15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Though familiar flavors are present, this is a completely original wine from a completely original terroir.
6. 2013 Warwick Estate “Three Cape Ladies” Red Blend (Western Cape, South Africa) – This fun and delicious red is one part South Africa, one part Bordeaux, and one part Northern Rhone………..translate, it’s a blend of Pinotage, Cab, Merlot and Syrah. This is rich and lush, offering layered notes of ripe plums, dark berries and hints of black tea. Supple but firm tannins glide along to a finish that features undertones of mocha and mint.
