Staff Pick Notes

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to taste the chiquita banana ladies hat? If yes, grab a bottle and be transported to a lively Cha Cha of tropical delight. On the nose you get a blend of sweet tropical fruit, the ripe smell of pineapple, orange peel, lemon zest. The brightness of kiwi and fresh cantalope drifting through ocean air. Heaps of hibiscus island floral notes, like walking through a plumeria tree lined beach. The grape Viura used in this bottle brings such pleasure with its kaleidoscope of warm weather fruits and flowers. This white blend will transport you to warmer days in just one sip.

The more modern producers are making powerful, dark,...
