The Holiday Red That Goes With Everything

Sottimano Dolcetto d'Alba $19.99/bottle Andrea Sottimano is one of the finest winemakers in Italy, and by extension, the world. However, his Dolcetto is admittedly not for everyone — your Chardonnay-only drinkers will not love it, nor will your big fat juicy red-wine-only drinkers. Dolcetto is aptly named (from the Italian, dolce, for "soft" or "sweet," not sugary, but as in the English "dulcet"). It is Piemonte's gulpable wine — spicy, grapey, dark chocolate-y, and low in tannin. For all its juicy, plush softness, Dolcetto can be lively, spry even, especially if it retains some of the grape's native acidity. [...]

Kerry is dealing with bad bunnies

"The damned rabbits" that inspire this cheeky name and label are cute, but a real threat to the Tempranillo vines from which this wine is made. Despite the "work" of these bad bunnies, the winemakers have crafted an incredibly delicious and enjoyable wine. Los Conejos Malditos balances bright fruit flavors of cranberries, cherries and plums, with alluring acidity, light tannins, and a touch of earthiness. You can serve this wine slightly chilled, if you'd like, and pair it with cured meats, sausage pizza, slow-smoked barbecue, or even wild game. Do yourself a favor: Get at least three bottles and [...]

Barbara prescribes Chardonnay forthwith for back-to-school time.

Land of Saints | Chardonnay Santa Maria Valley, CA Friends & Family: $19.99/bottle (reg. $23.99/btl) Jeannot | Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay France Friends & Family: $26.99/bottle (reg. $29.99/btl) As I was standing at the bar at a recent family reunion, a mother, standing next to me, kid clinging to her leg, ordered "an apple juice, and a double Chardonnay, please." Now, of course, that's not how we order wine. But in honor of back-to-school week, whether you're sending the little ones off to first grade, the big ones off to college, or are a teacher yourself, here are two Chardonnays that [...]

Devin is being wooed by a Spanish red

Portento / Petit Verdot La Mancha, Spain $17.99/bottle Fragrant Michigan cherries and oak (with a slight touch of cedar) transition to the palate with a deep ferric richness, brightened by pink peppercorn and saffron. A decadent and indulgent experience with grippy tannins and a silky finish. Dark meat is the way to go here: pair Portento with mushroom risotto and pepper steak, tzatziki and falafel, or liver pâté.

Abbie is drinking a very friendly Beaujolais

La Galoche Beaujolais Gamay is a light-bodied, easy-drinking red that will be a hit at any get-together. Similar to a Pinot, this wine has notes of juicy plums and Luxardo cherries while remaining dry with soft tannins.I paired this wine, slightly chilled, with homemade gyros, but I think it would also complement any charcuterie or even dessert. This food-friendly wine is a great gift idea — or you can keep it for yourself.Cheers!Friends & Family DealsBottle Discounts:3 bottles: 5% off6 bottles: 10% off12 bottles: 15% offHappy HourEnjoy an extra 5% volume discount on Mondays and Tuesdays from 4pm to 6pm.3 [...]

The Winery at Château Saint-Sernin

The Saint-Sernin Winery was born in 1619, in Parnac, France, a picturesque village enclosed by a meander in the river Lot, in a lovely valley outside of Cahors, France. Our relationship with the newest owners, Anne and Heifara, started soon after we opened Marczyk Fine Wines, when we met Phil Sevier. Phil had created relationships with small wineries in France, from Cahors to Beaune, and brought super-affordable wines to Denver. Now Paul Marczyk and his wife, Cheriese, run VinCo, and many of these wines are the ones we started with all those years ago. The Carbonneau Margot, Saint-Sernin Malbec, and [...]
