Featured Wines
Mauricio Lorca Reserve Uco Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Naked Wines calls this wine “seductive, smooth and spicy” like roasted red peppers fresh off a sizzling grill. Usually, if someone is naked talking about seduction and red peppers, you might want to start looking for the fire exit, but do not fear, this is the company’s highest-rated wine, straight from the Uco Valley Cabernet region in Argentina.
Cost per bottle: $11.99
Goes great with: A great argentinian steak on the Pampas, a plate of sharp cheeses and fresh fruit, drinking in your remote Andes villa while you hide from the authorities.
Mauricio Lorca Reserve Los Arboles Malbec 2016
This dark, intense Malbec is rounded out with a bit of oak and simply sings with flavor.
Cost per bottle: $12.99
Goes great with: Barbeque and traditional pastel de papa y carne (meat and potato pastry)
W. Donaldson Sonoma Blanc de Blancs 2016
This is a crisp, creamy, and refreshing white at a low price that we can all salute. Made from pure Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, this refined and delicious trophy-winning bubbly is meant for special occasions.
Cost per bottle: $18.99
Goes great with: Hog Island Oysters
