Charles de Cazanove Brut Champagne with two branded glasses
Champagne, France
VINTAGES#: 27984, $77.95 SHOP »»
🍾 "A touch of smokiness and plum fruit on the nose. Lovely lemon and savoury contrast on the palate with a whiff of white pepper, vivid freshness, and resonance. Drinking window: 2020-2025." Score: 91 Pts. - Decanter, October 8, 2020.
Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella Classico & Zenato Lugana Brut
Veneto, Italy
VINTAGES#: 423665, $93.95 SHOP »»
🍷"A potent wine with a big, fiery personality with great impact. A lighter, perfumed, violet-accented aroma opens to reveal intense black and red fruit flavours with a delightful touch of herbal complexity on the edges. The tannins are firm, but the concentration gives promise for further ageing." Score: 96 Pts. - Decanter.
🍾 Zenato Lugana Brut is made with 100% Trebbiano di Lugana grapes in the Classic Method.
"Impressive sparkling from the Veneto region with balanced citrus and mineral aromas and flavors. Very fine, persistent perlage and a clean, crisp finish. Lightly salty aftertaste. Well done. Disgorgement in November 2020. Drink now." Score: 92 Pts. - James Suckling, October 22, 2021.

Zenato San Benedetto Lugana 2021
Veneto, Italy
VINTAGES#: 707158, $19.95 SHOP »»
This vibrant, fruity wine is made with Trebbiano di Lugana (a.k.a. Verdicchio) and comes from vineyards surrounding Lake Garda. Floral, with a pleasing weight, it has tangy citrus, apple, peach, banana and dried herbs.
"Huge value in a pristine, delicious white with lifted, aromas of linden florality and generous, almost tropical green banana fruit — a sense of perfume that I have come to love about Lugana. It is medium weight, polished and very well balanced with brisk lemon-lime acidity, a hint of sweetness and excellent length. Just delicious. So clean and precise!" Score: 92 Pts. - David Lawrason, Wine Align. Tasted October 2022.

Veneto, Italy

From a quality-focused family winery, this is big and powerful, even for an Amarone. Rich and plush-textured with luscious chocolate, licorice, prune, nutty and floral flavours. Demands a hearty meal like barbecued back ribs, rack of lamb or steak.
