This delightful Rosé sparkling wine comes from Burgundy. It is made of 80% Pinot Noir, and 20% Gamay Noir. The charming eye of the swan color comes from the addition of Pinot Noir to the wine when the lees are disgorged, following the traditional fermentation in the individual bottle, in the champagne method. On the palate it is very rich and fruity but just off-dry on the finish. The mousse is explosive, with a very creamy palate impression. It shows just a hint of the earthiness of a Pinot Noir from Burgundy. This is charming rosé, subtle and delight... Read More »

Need a crisp white wine for a party, wedding or just weekday house wine? Look no further than the Southern Lights Sauvignon Blanc, which comes from fruit sourced from a more well known winery in New Zealand.This Kiwi "savvy" is bright and juicy with classic notes of grapefruit, passion fruit and lime blossom. On the palate, there is good acidity and a clean, long refreshing finish. At $7.99, you'll want to have a few of these in the fridge cold and ready to go.

This is solid wine that appeals to both the French and California Chardonnay lover. It has a pretty lemony note on the nose, nice richness on the mouth, and an interesting nutty quality and some minerality at the finish. This is a terrific value for summertime sipping! 70% of the fruit comes from Meursault, with the remainder from the Mâcon. It is fermented in a combination of barrel and tank, and then aged in French oak. At this price, it is unlikely to hang around for long. (Keith Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy Buyer, 05/10)

The bright and elegant entry is followed by characteristic Puligny minerality and a very nice creamy middle, and slightly citrus notes at the finish.
