Our panel’s TOP PICKS this month and a listing of the club selections
Painted Wolf Black Pack Chenin Blanc 2018 Reserve Club An elegant wine, with an aroma of fresh peach cobbler, melon, citrus and vanilla. The wine has a creamy finessed texture followed by a nice, fresh acid that keeps it bouncy and vibrant. PAIRING: Suitable for country cooking with a French flair.
Bergsig Sauvignon Blanc 2019 Best Value Club Bergsig Sauvignon Blanc has the appetite appeal of crunchy summer fruits with a vein of lemony freshness. The ideal food partner on a hot summer’s day. PAIRING: Spicy jalapeño and fig springrolls.
De Wetshof Naissance Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Wine-of-the-Month Club This Bordeaux-style wine captures the essence of one of the world’s great classical red cultivars to create a wine of elegance, power and individuality.
