Kerry is dealing with bad bunnies.

Click edit button to change this text. "The damned rabbits" that inspire this cheeky name and label are cute, but a real threat to the Tempranillo vines from which this wine is made. Despite the "work" of these bad bunnies, the winemakers have crafted an incredibly delicious and enjoyable wine. Los Conejos Malditos balances bright fruit flavors of cranberries, cherries and plums, with alluring acidity, light tannins, and a touch of earthiness. You can serve this wine slightly chilled, if you'd like, and pair it with cured meats, sausage pizza, slow-smoked barbecue, or even wild game. Do yourself [...]

Now, of course, that's not how we order wine. But in honor of back-to-school week, whether you're sending the little ones off to first grade, the big ones off to college, or are a teacher yourself, here are two Chardonnays [...]

Devin is being wooed by a Spanish red

Portento / Petit Verdot La Mancha, Spain $17.99/bottle Fragrant Michigan cherries and oak (with a slight touch of cedar) transition to the palate with a deep ferric richness, brightened by pink peppercorn and saffron. A decadent and indulgent experience with grippy tannins and a silky finish. Dark meat is the way to go here: pair Portento with mushroom risotto and pepper steak, tzatziki and falafel, or liver pâté.

Abbie is drinking a very friendly Beaujolais

La Galoche Beaujolais Gamay is a light-bodied, easy-drinking red that will be a hit at any get-together. Similar to a Pinot, this wine has notes of juicy plums and Luxardo cherries while remaining dry with soft tannins. I paired this wine, slightly chilled, with homemade gyros, but I think it would also complement any charcuterie or even dessert. This food-friendly wine is a great gift idea — or you can keep it for yourself. Cheers!

Seth has a dry Alsatian you’re going to love

Ever since we discovered that an Alsatian and a German Shepherd are the same breed of dog, we thought we should point out that the Alsatian we're talking about here is a wine — a Sylvaner from E. Traber in Alsace, France. Sylvaner isn't a grape that's bandied about very often. Still, do NOT overlook this amazing, dry Alsatian white. It is light, bright, and outta sight. You will experience notes of peach, grapefruit, orange blossom, thyme, and a delicious flinty minerality. Pair this Sylvaner with antipasti, cheeses, olives, spicy Asian cuisine, mushroom omelets, onion tarts, quiches, and even [...]
