Awards, 2025) Light & Crisp 50776 (XD) 750 ml $20.95 1 FRANCE ‘ RED WINE BURGUNDY NUITON BEAUNOY BOURGOGNE PINOT NOIR AOC, sustainable 100% Melon de Bourgogne. Inviting aromatics of white blossom, stone fruit and apple; dancing acidity, citrus zest and a saline minerality on the palate. Score: 91 (Decanter World Wine Clay and limestone soils in Burgundy give this Pinot Noir real definition, and Nuiton Beaunoy has farmed the vines here for two decades. Red cherry and redcurrant carry a delicate, smoky depth. Fine tannin gives it a silky, structured feel without any weight. Toasted hazelnut lingers by the close. Veal chops or sauteed pork tenderloin would be a wonderful match. Two decades is a blink in Burgundy time, but the patience already shows in the glass. Drink date: 2026-2031.

TELIANI VALLEY SEMI SWEET RED Alazani Valley, Kakheti Saperavi is the most important and popular Georgian grape variety and is the basis for this moderately sweet wine. Expect plenty of dark cherry and blueberry fruit enlivened by floral notes, dried herbs, and orange zest.
