2005 Marco Felluga Ribolla Gialla Collio, Italy
An unusual white grape to check out for those tiring of the insipid sea of Pinot Grigio. Ribolla Gialla has all the easy drinkability of PG, but with just a little bit more delicacy of flavor, and less of the watery edges. Pretty and very clean flavors of crisp apple and ripe ruby grapefruit, without the twang, complement the subtle aromas of herb, flowers, and citrus. Try it with the white bean and sage recipe in this issue, it's an amazing wine pairing!
Regular price $16.99 Trifecta price $14.99
2005 Cataperiero Ribatejano, Portugal
Made from the traditional Portuguese grapes Castelao and Trincadeira, with a bit of Alicante Bouchet for good measure, this red from Ribatejano in central western Portugal is as complex and mysterious as the land it comes from. Deep, dark, and rustic, this wine manages to have a polished and smooth ripe fruit quality to match it's rugged personality. Any dish with beef and mushrooms involved makes this wine evn more harmonious and delicious! Also pairs very well with duck and lamb...
Regular price $13.99 Trifecta $11.39
Vinho Verde is Portugal's "green wine" because it is the first wine of the harvest. This shining example in particular, really shows off it's freshness and just barely effervescent characteristics, as an amazing blend of Alvarinho and Trajadura grapes. Light enough for warm Autumn afternoon picnics and boat drinks, and substantial enough to pair with countless different foods when it gets chilly outside. Especially perfect with tapas! Very affordable and lighter in alcohol, here's a refreshing sip anytime, anywhere, even in vast quantities. Sunday for brunch?
