Staff Pick Notes

I'd like to take a minute or two to give much respect to a canned wine that made a difference in my world. Let your pretenses subside for a moment (it's a relaxing, liberating feeling). It's ok if you have low expectations, because they're about to be greatly exceeded by this stylish canned blend of Petite Sirah and Zinfandel curated by sommelier Kristin Olszewski. The grapes are sourced from low intervention vineyards that are good to the earth, resulting in a terrific wine with bold red fruits, smooth tannins, and scrumptious acidity. I went out for cheesesteaks with friends recently and let me tell you, having a few cans of this at our disposal not only hit the spot, but made us the envy of all passers-by. Not all canned wines are created equal, but this one is a delicious cut above the rest. Whatta mighty good can.

Dry and well-drained terroirs are also preferable for Zinfandel, as its bunches are...
