Here are Sam's latest wine recommendations...
1. Rocky Gully Dry Riesling on sale $13.88 reg $18
One of the things I look forward to is freshly caught fish. In the rare times I actually catch anything, there is nothing better than a crisp, minerally bone dry riesling. Rockland fits the bill beautifully. Located on the west coast of Australia, they get much cooler oceanic breezes that lend itself beautifully to delicate, mineral laden Riesling. This is ideal with seafood because it has that refreshing zip to cut through foods but not the overpowering grapefruit notes that can dominate the delicate fish.
On top of it being the perfect summertime white, it is on sale! but supplies are limeted at this price.
2. Misterio Malbec - $9.99
Argentine Malbecs are still on fire. People love them because they are a robust, juicy red, but lack that bitter aftertaste that many dry reds have. Misterio uses sustainably grown grapes that have notes of violets and black plums on the nose. The palatte is juicy and velvety. This is an excellent "beginners" Malbec that would go well with any beef dish.
3. La Cave Cabernet on sale $9.88 reg $20
This gem was a vintage closeout from our supplier so we can practically give it away! This is from the up and coming wine region of Wellington South Africa. La Cave Cabernet is in my opinion in the prime of it's life cycle. I prefer wines with a bit of age on them that are offering up the secondary flavors of smoke, cedar and forest floor meshing with the black fruit flavors. A 2003 vintage this offers exactly that. I wouldn't age it a whole lot longer but at the price it is now, it qualifies as a guzzler anyway! Would go beautifully with wild game or other hearty dishes.
