Every month, from the two to three hundred wines I taste, I pick four that are my Best Buys selection: four delicious wines that I sell for less that $10 each that will taste like you paid more for them. The write-ups are my own, too. I tell you what I think of the wines, and what you can expect from them without any “wine speak” or confusing numerical ratings. Buy the Four Pack and save 10%.

Store Reviews — Awarded a much deserved Seal of Approval at the International Wine Challenge 2002 - this is fully organic and an absolute bargain white wine is crisp but suprisingly soft for a Gascogny white. Made from the four main regional varieties: Colombard, Ugni-Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gros-Manseng. All four grapes are complementary and balance each other well. This balance of different grapes enables the vines to grow in stages, making them more resistant to climatic conditions and diseases. Fresh, dry and fruity with lemon zest and crisp citrus flavors. The usual grapefruit aromas are present, but take more of a back seat, letting the apple and elderflower flavors come to the fore. A delight either on its own or with a wide variety of food.
Grape: Sangiovese
Store Code: 50603
Store Reviews — Made from 100% Sangiovese Bright, ruby-red. The bouquet is intense, fragrant with elegant scents of iris and raspberries and spices.

A simple red, for a simple night.
