Eminence Road Farm Winery Pinot Gris Was $19.99 Now $16.79
Sourced from the Western shores of Lake Cayuga, this unique example of Pinot Gris (also called Grigio) shows how this is much more than a neutral, straw-colored grape and can produce some exciting wines. The grapes naturally have a purple hue to them, which does translate to the finished product.
Amber-rose color, nose of ripe papaya and orange zest and slate. Full body palate with tropical fruit flavors and a rich, sale, glycerin finish.

Rubesto Montepulciano D’Abruzzo Riserva
Was $16.99 Now $14.27
Spending 12 months in oak, this Montepulciano shows great depth of flavors and aromas.
This is a deep ruby red colored wine with garnet reflections, aromas of ripe-red fruits and hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate the great structure of this wine can be appreciated. It is warm, strong and persistent with a long finish – goes well with game, red meat and mature cheeses. Decanting for one hour prior to serving is recommended in order to enjoy all the nuances this wine has to offer.
