Whether you stock up on your favorites or use this opportunity to try some new wines, one thing is certain: You will save 20% on all Sonoma County wines! Opportunity is knocking, as they say, and it’s a good time to answer the door.
This week, we asked our Wine & Liquor Coordinator, Josh Kirchhoff and his team of Wine Managers to weigh in with some tips for navigating this week’s sale along with some personal picks.
“The local wines in this week’s ad were chosen based on the best Sonoma County has to offer,” Josh explained. “From newer selections such as Capo Isetta and Angels & Cowboys, to classic Sonoma County powerhouse brands such as Balletto and St. Francis, there is something for every taste. With such great quality at incredible prices, we are excited to celebrate our amazing local producers with our customers. There are all kinds of occasions in coming months that call for wine, so it’s a wonderful opportunity to stock up!”
Here are some top picks to consider for this week’s shopping list:
• Trentadue Old Patch Red, 2021 California
“One of the most consistent red blends in our set. The perfect companion to just about any BBQ or family gathering!” – Josh Kirchhoff, Corporate Wine & Liquor Coordinator
• Matanzas Creek Sauvignon Blanc, 2023 Sonoma County
“When I think of Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc, I think of this. Aromas of honeydew melon, Peach, and guava pair with lime and nectarine on the palate.” – Brandon Witwicki, Windsor Wine Department Manager
• Oliver’s Own Sparkling Brut, NV California
“Made up of 80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir. For a bubbly that spends 18 months aging on the lees it’s a screaming deal at $15.99. Notes of brioche and lemons. Bubbles aren’t reserved just for New Year’s Eve. Let Oliver’s help you kick off the start of summer fun!” – Matteo Polverari, Montecito Wine Department Manager
• Balletto Pinot Gris, 2022 Russian River Valley
“Balletto always delivers quality. This wine offers flavors of green apple, apricot, citrus, and honeysuckle with subtle minerality. Dry and crisp yet elegantly silky. Perfect with mild cheeses, light pastas, and seafood.” – Justin Bowman, Cotati Wine Department Manager
• Highway 12 Pinot Noir, 2022 Sonoma County
“For a delightful, complex wine, try Highway 12 Pinot Noir. Sonoma Coast grapes yield cherry, raspberry, spice aromas. Smooth, silky texture. Perfect with roasted chicken, salmon, mushroom risotto. A wine to love and remember!” – David Riley, Stony Point Wine Department Manager
