Juicy NEW Spanish Star

SAVE 40%

World-Class Rosé Is This Summer’s Coolest Wine

Vicente Garcia is famously creative, challenge-loving and stubborn as a bull

– hence his decision to plant vineyards with hard-to-grow Bobal. While others

typically blend it with more famous Tempranillo and Garnacha, Vicente had a

hunch that Bobal could make its own great wines. We think you’ll be glad that

he stuck to his guns! Soft and full of ripe, juicy berry, Cabeza de Toro (‘head

of the bull’) is as tasty as the label is colorful. Today, a trio is only $19.50 (normally $32.97). Add to any 12 bottles at no extra shipping.

100% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEEIf a wine ever fails to live up to your

expectations – for whatever reason – simply let us know and receive a full refund.

World-Class Rosé Is This Summer’s Coolest Wine

Enjoy 12 fresh pinks from Provence, Tuscany, California and beyond

Judging by recent sales (and stock outs), rosé is enjoying a serious

boom in popularity. This shouldn’t really come as a surprise. Quality’s at

an all-time high and the finest (dry) pinks combine the refreshment factor

of a white with a juicy, berry character that delights red fans.

There’s nothing better on a hot summer’s day than a cool glass of freshly bottled, new-vintage rosé.

Today’s case (all 2013s) gives you the best variety of the year so far.

Start in Provence (for many, home to the finest) with an elegant

classic. Head to Tuscany for Paolo Masi’s succulent Sangiovese (back by very popular demand). Stop in Spain for a crisp Rioja rosado.

In California’s cool Edna Valley, we found you Baileyana’s exquisite Pinot Noir. And, facing off across the Andes, you have top-estate,

Chilean Shiraz-Cab (the boldest of the bunch) versus vibrant

Argentine Malbec.

Hurry to enjoy them all at today’s mouthwatering price. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

Summer Pinot Noir


Burgundy is home to the most coveted (and priciest) Pinot in the world.

But many top producers have headed to the sunny south to craft juicy

reds at far friendlier prices. You’ll enjoy historic Burgundy house Morin Père & Fils’ soft, elegant cuvée and a fragrant, cherry-packed

2012 courtesy of trophy-winning Jean-Marc Sauboua.

Your other fine Pinots include a pure-fruited gem from Chile’s premium Colchagua Valley, Aussie Pinot star Tom Carson’s double-silver-medalist and a seriously lush take from the Schroeder family’s

acclaimed boutique in Argentina’s breathtaking Patagonia region.

Very few cases of these classy Pinots are available with today’s 29% savings. Hurry.

standouts are all packed with silky, plummy goodness. Kick off with

a sunshine-in-your-glass favorite from southern France (that won

silver at Concours de Vin 2013), a super-rich Puglian charmer and

Oscar Salas’ pure-fruited Chilean classic. And if you think Charles

NEW Italian Pinot Grigio

The world has gone crazy for

the pure flavors and thrilling

refreshment of Pinot Grigio.

With its cool alpine breezes and

abundant sunshine, northern

Italy’s Veneto region is where the

revolution began. It’s the grape’s

original heartland and still the

source of the most crowd-

pleasing, breezy Pinot Grigio on the planet – as you’ll taste.

On the trail of the freshest Pinot Grigio

Sentiero dei Pini is named after a spectacular and precious

vineyard (shown above). It’s approached via a spiralling path

lined with pine trees (the wine’s name means ‘trail of the pines’)

and was a great vantage point for advancing Roman legions.

Today it’s occupied by Pinot Grigio vines that yield a wine

that’s as fresh as an alpine stream.

This is classic northern Italian Pinot Grigio, brimming with sliced lemon and green apple flavors. Minerally, zingy and delicious on its own or alongside seafood linguine.

Served today with a fresh $50 savings.
