And we guarantee that there are grapes included here that you have never heard of, one of which would make a great name for a cat.

Après
Rosé of Mondeuse/Gamay
Savoie, France

Drink more wine from the mountains… If you’ve ever been curious about Swiss wine but find it too expensive and hard to find, TRY THIS! Savoie is on the French side of the Alps, and this wine drinks with that wonderful Alpine clarity, freshness and acidity that you get with Swiss wine. Organic. Delish.

Baronnie
Syrah
Pays D’oc, France

Nerello What? Trust Us. Drink It! This wine, made from 100% Nerello Mascalese, will impress the hell out of you — it is smooth, sexy and satisfying.

Zibibbo: A fun word to say; a fantastic wine to drink. Zesty, delightful, refreshing and complex, this wine will wow! Plus, it’s fun to drink new grapes. Think island wine: citrus blossom, white flowers, Mediterranean herbs, apricot, and saline minerality. Organic. Biodynamic.

Melea

Ch. Beauregard-Mirouze
Rouze Red Blend
Corbieres, France

Your new favorite chillable red! We are super in love with this chillable blend of Cinsault, Carignan and Mourvedre. You might even say this is a red-meets-rosé-style wine. It’s bright, light and refreshing, full of bright cherry and macerated strawberry notes and a touch of spice. CHILL ME! Organic. Natural.

Pairings: bison sliders, pate and baguette, picnic fare, pan con tomate, orzo salad, citrus-glazed pork chops.
