Wines So Good, They’ll Make You Forget Winter Ever Existed!

Spring is the time when every bottle of wine whispers, "I’m the reason you spring forward and not fall back." As the days get longer, so, most likely, does your wine list, because nothing says "spring cleaning" like making room in the fridge for more rosé. (Is spring cleaning still an actual thing?) And remember: We always maintain a glass-half-full attitude when it comes to drinking wine in spring, or as we like to call it, optimistically prepped for a top-off. Our Wines of the Month for May will have you embracing spring with all the ardor of a [...]

Two kosher wines from Israel – perfect for many occasions

Did you know we carry kosher wines? New to the shop, we have the Hermon Cab/Merlot blend and the Gilgal Chardonnay.
