Red Wine of the Week
Château Mourgues du Grès
Les Galets Rouges
Costières de Nîmes Rouges
Normally $19.99 /
Now on Sale for $15.96
Grenache, Mourvèdre, Marselan, and old vine Carignan (Costières de Nîmes AOC)
How It’s Made:
Run by Anne and François Collard, Château Mourgues du Grès sits in southern France’s Costières de Nîmes region. They let their organic grapes macerate for 8-15 days, and after fermentation, they age the wine for 7 to 12 months in epoxy lined concrete tanks without adding sulphur.
Why We Like It:
The epoxy lined tanks are to provide a neutral vessel to preserve the grapes’ natural fruitiness, and those efforts come through! This red is a gorgeous, deep berry wine that sits comfortably in a basket of soft tannins. It’s one of our favorite offerings from one of our favorite south French regions — between Montpellier and Marseilles, a stones throw north from the Mediterranean coast.

Kamptal Grüner Veltliner
Normally $19.99 /
Now on Sale for $15.96
100% Grüner Veltliner (Kamptal DAC)
Where It’s Made:
Northeast of Vienna is the Kamptal wine region. With almost 300 wineries, it’s one of Austria’s premier wine regions. Kamptal features sunbaked vineyards, steeply terraced around the Kampt River. Though they produce a variety of grapes, they are mostly known for their Rieslings and Grüner Veltliners. The Höllerer family has been running their Kamptal vineyards and winery since 1808.
Why We Like It:
It’s just what we want in a Grüner. There’s a nice fruit balanced by a peppery acidity for structure and a dry finish.
Beer of the Week
Forest and Main
Dark Mild
Normally $15.99 /
Now on Sale for $14.96 (16.9 oz can four-pack)
English Style Dark Mild Ale (3.9% ABV)
How It’s Made:
Man! We are just not getting enough Ambler, PA’s (just north of Philly) Forest and Main’s British inspired beers! They’ve made this Dark Mild Ale with Maris Otter malt, British Crystal Malt, and British Chocolate, fermented with “our trusty London ale yeast.” (They have their own London ale yeast!) They then hop the brew with highly proper East Kent Goldings hops.
Why We Like It:
It’s got dark, sort of bready chocolate notes that go down easily. It’s what we imagine people drinking every time we see someone pull up a pint of something dark and delicious in a movie. And if they aren’t drinking this beer, they wish they were!
