Red Wine of the Week
Cantina/Kellerei Tramin
Alto Adige/Südtirol
Schiava
Normally $21.99 /
Now on Sale for $17.96
100% Schiava (Alto Adige/Südtirol DOC)
Who Makes It:
Cantina/Kellerei Tramin is one of the oldest vineyard cooperatives in northern Italy’s Alto Adige/Südtirol appellation. Parish priest Christian Schrott started it in 1898 to shore up wine production in the Alpine region. Today, Tramin is 160 families growing grapes and making wine under winemaker Willi Stürz.
Why We Like It:
Ridiculously light-bodied in the glass, this red releases dark fruit mixed with soft tannins. It’s smooth but a little spicy, a delightful little drinker. Definitely a chillable red, drink it a little cool at the least.
White Wine of the Week
Siegel Family
Gran Reserva Viognier
Normally $14.99 /
Now on Sale for $11.96
100% Viognier (Valle Colchagua)
How It’s Made:
For their Gran Reserva line of wines, the Siegel Family Winery in Chile uses their higher quality grapes. They take the destemmed, sustainably farmed Viognier grapes for this white and ferment them in stainless steel. They then age their wine, on lees, for six months, in second and third use French oak barrels. During that time, they stir the lees to add complexity.
Why We Like It:
This wine is all about the balance between oak and acid. You can smell the oak on the nose, but on the palate it’s not enough to drown out the acid of the Viognier grapes, which still punches through to make a nice, zippy white. Use this wine to tempt your friends and moms away from the big, oaky, buttery Chardonnays that they insist on drinking.
Beer of the Week
Firestone Walker
Pivo Pils
Normally $10.99 /
Now on Sale for $9.96 (12 oz bottle six-pack)
Italian-Style Pilsner (5.3% ABV)
How It’s Made:
Originally released in 2013, the Pivo was inspired by the Birrificio Italiano Tipopils. Firestone Walker uses 100% German malts including the base Pilsner malt. They bitter and dry-hop it with the German Saphir hop.
Why We Like It:
Brewmaster Matt Brynildson set out to make a super light Pilsner that still had character. He succeeded with the Pivo. We call it an Italian-Style Pilsner but cannot ignore the German influence of the ingredients. Still, it’s much lighter than your average German Pilsners. In truth, it’s kind of its own thing … and it’s a good, bright, thing that hits your palate like a whisp of cool mountain air.
