WINES
Novellum Chardonnay, Rousillon, France
Varietal: Chardonnay Alc.13%
Chardonnay shows up in some remarkable places but few as breathtaking as the Roussillon, where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean. From vineyards just a stone’s throw from the beach and within view of the historic Mont Canigou, Eric Solomon and Jean-Marc Lafage have created Novellum, a refined, aromatic and elegant Chardonnay that is aged in tank and neutral French barrels. This is an area of Roussillon where Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage have some Chardonnay planted near the Mediterranean that makes a remarkably complex and mineral version of the variety. A small percentage is aged in barrel – usually less than 30%. The remainder of the wine is aged in tank on the lees of Viognier. The 2020 Novellum Chardonnay has a medium gold hue as well as a rich, powerful bouquet of caramelized lemon, honeyed almonds, candle wax, and toasted bread. Rich, medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, and balanced, it is one of the best values in Chardonnay that you can find.
Pairs well with seafood, roasted chicken and creamy polenta. $ 14.99
Merlin Mâcon la Roche Vineuse 2019, Burgundy, France
Varietal: Chardonnay Alc.14.5%
Olivier Merlin and his wife, Corinne, began in 1987 by renting 4.5 hectares. Since then, Olivier has been buying the property in stages as well as adding new vineyards such as those in St Véran. Olivier has established a reputation as one of the region’s most dynamic growers, a reference point for the Mâconnais. The whites demonstrate his exceptional winemaking talents, and the potential of “lowly” appellations. They are frequently taken for Côte d’Or wines if tasted blind. The single-vineyard wines, including Mâcon-La Roche Vineuse, get 18 months barrel-ageing with 30 to 50% new wood. This old-vine cuvée is fermented and aged for the first year in oak, before moving to tank to avoid drying out. The nose is surprisingly serious, with some spicy oak reduction. It’s quite peachy and rounded initially on the palate, before a pleasing salinity arrives and tightens up the finish. It’s best to drink from now until 2025.
Pairs well with sushi, shellfish, and grilled chicken. $ 25.99
Kloster Neustift Abbazia di Novacella, Alto Adige, Italy
We have two selections from this southern Tyrolian winery. As archaeological finds prove, viticulture has been practiced on the sheltered slopes of the Isarco Valley for well over 2500 years. The Kloster Neustift is one of the oldest active wineries in the world, producing wine since 1142. Through donations, foundations, purchases and exchanges, the monastery acquired a sizeable portfolio of vineyards over the centuries; to this day the monastery is surrounded by vineyards. However, since the monastery was temporarily dissolved at the beginning of the 19th century, not all the vineyards are owned by the monastery. But the growers still deliver most of their grapes to the monastery, where they are processed into expressive wines in the monastery’s own winery. White and red wines that come from their own vineyards, whose fermentation and subsequent maturation take place only in steel tanks, in order to maintain the characteristics of fragrance and freshness that have always distinguished the region.
Kloster Neustift Abbazia di Novacella Kerner
Varietal: KernerAlc. 13.5%
Kerner is grown as a frost-resistant grape variety especially at higher elevations in the Val Venosta and Isarco Valley. This cross between Schiava (Vernatsch) and Riesling owes its name to the German poet Julius Kerner. The sleek, spicy white also reveals itself to be poetic in the glass when its subtle tones of nutmeg emerge from the abundance of aromas and its fine, fruity bouquet reveals the great potential of this wine. The Novacella Kerner is greenish yellow in color. Peaches, apricots, and tones of tangerines are present on the nose. It is very lively, juicy, and sleek on the palate, with a mineral-rich finish.
Pairs well with fish, spicy dishes, and vegetable dishes. $24 .99
Kloster Neustift Abbazia di Novacella Pinot Nero
Varietal: Pinot Nero Alc.13%
The Pinot Noir or Nero grape is considered one of the noblest red grapes worldwide and is another variety that belongs to the so called “international” grapes of French origin, but widely cultivated around the world. Pinot Nero is a difficult grape to grow and wine to make, and it is a challenge for every winemaker with results varying from vintage to vintage and area to area. The Pinot Nero is a grape variety very sensitive to the terroir, producing different interpretations depending on where the grapes are grown and the land and soil characteristics. In Italy, the grape is cultivated in the north, mainly in Trentino Alto Adige. The Novacella Pinot Nero is brick-red in color. A nose with aromas of sour cherries, red berries, plums, and forest floor is followed by an elegant, velvety, and juicy palate.
Pairs well with charcuterie, salmon, and mushroom risotto. $ 25.99
Bodegas Mas Que Vinos, Ercavio Tempranillo Viñas de Meseta 2017, Toledo, Spain
Varietal: Cencibel (Tempranillo) Alc.14.5%
Some very impressive wines have been coming from Spain recently, such as the bottles coming out of Bodegas Mas Que Vinos – arguably one of the country’s hottest producers right now. Bodegas Mas Que Vinos beautifully demonstrates what great shape their country’s wine scene is in right now. The winery has been running since the 1850s with the Rodriguez family at the helm. However, the new millennium called for a serious update of the way the winery was run. So Gonzalo Rodriguez, along with two friends, set up a new Mas Que Vinos winery. The three established new vineyards and improved the old ones and are producing modern Spanish wine from the amazing native grape varietals that flourish on their sun-baked land. This Tempranillo is a lot more fruit driven than most, with silky tannins due to careful winemaking and no use of oak. On the nose it has aromas such as violets and fresh berries, hints of chocolate and white pepper spice. The palate is pure, soft and very well balanced with a touch of creamy texture followed by a spicy finish. It’s one of those wines that will be perfect on its own but will also match well with food.
Pairs well with roast beef, garlic chicken, and prosciutto. $14.99
La Rioja Alta Viña Alberdi Rioja Reserva 2018, Rioja, Spain
Varietals: Tempranillo Alc. 14.5%
One of the oldest wine collectives in Spain, five Basque and Rioja-based vine growers created “Sociedad Vinicola De La Rioja Alta ” in July of 1890. A year later the company changed names to La Rioja Alta, and they’ve been producing classic Spanish wines for over 120 years. Over a century of winemaking experience certainly teaches you something as La Rioja Alta is garnering some incredible press. Their young and fresh red 2018 Viña Alberdi, already a Reserva (Crianza in Spain), matured in oak barrel for two years, in new barrels for the first year and in aged barrels for the second year. 2018 was a year of lower alcohol and more freshness in the wines, and they thought the wines were not designed for the long haul; so, they didn’t produce any other wine; the only wine from 2018 is Viña Alberdi! It has a pretty nose of raspberries, cassis, fresh herbs, vanilla and sweet spices. It is medium-bodied with round tannins, a creamy and fruity-chocolatey character on the mid-palate, and a supple finish with excellent length. Tangy acidity. 100% Tempranillo. It has the potential to age.
Pairs well with cured meats, grilled chicken, and roasted lamb. $25.99
And don’t forget to check out what’s new in our beer case, including Rockport Brewing’s black lager, Steel Derrick.

WINES
Spineto Maremma Toscano Bianco 2021, Tuscany, Italy
Varietal: VermentinoAlc.13.5%
Maremma, in Southern Tuscany, ishome to rolling hills of olive groves, vineyards, forests, fields of poppies and cornflowers, fishing ports, and of course, the stellar Sangiovese red grape. It’s not just red wines, though, that come from this region. Be ready to be amazed by its white wines such as this made from the unique Vermentino grape. Erik Banti has been producing wines in the Maremma Toscanaregion in the south-west of Tuscany for decades. With a love and passion for native Italian and classic French grapes, he has created his Spineto. Herbal aromas leap from the glass and draw you into flavors of peach, citrus, and a hint of apple on the structured finish.
Pairs well with shellfish, baked or grilled fish, and pasta with clams. $ 14.99
Gerard Fiou Sancerre Terroir Silex 2021, Loire, France
Varietal: Alc.13%
Marked by its charming hilltop village in the easternmost territory of the Loire, Sancerre is famous for its vivacious, citrus-dominant Sauvignon blanc. Variations in topography—rolling hills and steep slopes from about 600 to 1,300 feet in elevation—with great soil variations, contribute to the variations in character in Sancerre Sauvignon blancs. Flint (silex) soils close to the village of Sancerre produce particularly perfumed and age-worthy wines. Domaine Gerard Fiou is a family Estate created several generations ago by Gerard Fiou’s ancestors. Since taking over, Gerard Fiou has been developing his property by taking care to limit the yield of his vineyard and to respect the ecosystem of the grounds moving toward biodynamic methods. The 2021 Sancerre Blanc, Terroir Silex, opens with a clear and elegant, very aromatic yet refined bouquet with aromas of white and yellow tropical fruits (passion fruit) as well as a hint of cassis, fresh nettles, and crushed flint stones. Medium-bodied and with clear, well-defined fruit,this is an elegant, stimulating, and fruity Sancerre that finishes with tart grapefruit and lime bitters and ripe but refreshing, perfectly integrated acidity.
Pairs well with shellfish and spring salads. $ 29.99
Octopoda 2021 Sonoma County Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, California
Varietal: Chardonnay Alc.14.5%
Precision Wine Co. presents a distinguished and diverse collection of wines. Each wine is made with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to quality; from harvesting the grapes in the vineyards to designing original packaging, every step of the winemaking process is handled with precision. The wines are made to showcase the complexity of flavor, diversity of terroir, and distinct characteristics of California’s appellations and wine regions. Proprietor and vintner Trevor Sheehan started his journey to create a top wine collection when he became a winemaker 10 years ago. His first wines were eight barrels of Chardonnay from the Beckstoffer Vineyard and Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain. Octopoda Chardonnay offers notes of white flowers, grapefruit, baked apples, buttered popcorn and a beautiful toasted oak finish.
Pairs well with creamy cow and sheep-milk cheese, pan-seared salmon, and roast chicken. $19 .99
Reserve de Bonpas Côtes-du-Rhone 2020, France
Varietal: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, CarignanAlc.13%
Located near Avignon, at the heart of the Rhone Valley, the fortified stronghold of Bonpas has watched over the safe crossing of the Durance River along the historic route that once linked Rome with Avignon. The estate marks the gateway to the southern Côtes-du-Rhône appellations. Its sophisticated, elegant wines embody the terroirs and varietals of this famous region through their power and fruitiness.Typically thought of as a baby Chateâuneuf-du-Pape, the term Côtes-du-Rhône actually doesn’t merely apply to the flatter outskirts of the major southern Rhône appellations, it also includes the fringes of well-respected northern Rhône appellations. The region offers some of the best values in France and even some first-rate and age-worthy reds. Red wine varieties include most of the Chateâuneuf-du-Pape varieties like Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, and Counoise, as well as Carignan.The Bonpas Côtes-du-Rhône pours a deep ruby red. The nose is expressive, with notes of fresh red fruit. On the palate, it is a warm, powerful wine combining flavors of mild spices, black olives, and stone fruits. Ample and supple, with velvety tannins.
Pairs well with grilled meats and fresh goat’s cheeses. $14 .99
I Veroni Quona Chianti Rufino 2018,
Varietal: Sangiovese Alc.15%
In the Middle Ages the vineyard and farmland of I Veroni formed part of the extensive feudal estates in the Arno valley of the Conti Guidi family. The present farm buildings are a blend of centuries-old structures and contemporary additions. The first stone wine fermentation tank was built in 1809. Parts of this are still visible in the original cellars. The estate passed from the Guidi family to the Modigliani di Rufina family in the early 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century it was bought by Carlo Malesci, whose family still owns it today. The name I Veroni is derived from the wide terraces surrounding the farm where many years ago tobacco leaf and grain from the Arno valley was dried. Today I Veroni is a specialized, certified organic winery, located in the Chianti Rùfina area about 10 km from the city of Florence. The vineyards cover 15 hectares and 20 hectares are planted with olives. Three clones of Sangiovese planted in the late 1990s make up this superb family estate Riserva. Tile red in color, the nose is redolent of forest floor, earthy notes of leather and tobacco leaf, smoked meats, and dried black fruits. The palate is ripe and piquant, with berry fruit, sour cherry and plum notes, along with chocolate tannins, savory spices like nutmeg and clove, cedar, and black pepper. It’s beautifully balanced, retaining a refinement and elegance despite its big structure.
Pairs well with cured meats, a prime rib roast, and pasta with meaty tomato-based sauce.$ 27.99
Dead Canyon Ranch Red Blend 2017, Horse Heaven Hill, Washington
Varietals: 50% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 8% Malbec, 3%, Petit Verdot, 2% Mourvedre Alc. 14%
For over 125 years, Mercers have been stewards of the same land in Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills. In 1972, they planted the first wine grapes in the acclaimed Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Now, their vineyards span 12,000acres along the Columbia River. Dead Canyon Vineyard bears the name of the topographical landmark on which it resides. Grapes are planted along both canyon edges, about three miles south of the original Mercer family farmstead. The site has two distinct aspects because it is planted on both canyon edges, and thus has both a north and south face. The Dead Canyon Ranch Red Blend has aromas of blackberries and blueberries explode from the glass with notes of plums, currants, cherries along with hints of smoke and vanilla. The Cabernet really adds some backbone, and the wine finishes smooth with fine round tannins, great mouthfeel and a long velvety finish that seems to last for minutes.
Pairs well with grilled beef or pork, short ribs and meaty stews. $17.99
