$13.85 – Chateau LaBarrade Malbec 2016
This is the same vintage I tasted last year, and it has matured in the bottle, so grab a few while you still can. Straddling somewhere between full-bodied and midweight, this Southwest France Malbec opens with a forest floor nose of eucalyptus, anise, blackberry,...

E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône 2017: $21.95
Syrah / Grenache Blend, France Circling back with an old friend. What You Can Expect:A robust red that at one time in my life was a staple in the household. Medium to full bodies with hints of chocolate and black licorice. It won’t be long before we will reconnect...
