For cork dorks and other wine classicists
• Egri Bikaver (Hungary) $8
Tannic, fruity and full of gusto. A red meat red wine.
• Naoussa (Greece) $9
Rustic, rugged and ready. Goes well with barbecues, stews and roasted meats.
• Nuviana (Spain) $9
Smooth and suave like a Latin lover. Indulge often with this red.
• Piesporter Michelsberg Riesling (Germany) $10
Aromatic, floral, crisp, fruity white for sipping on its own or in a spritzer.
• Vereto Salice Salentino Rosso (Italy) $10
This Puglian offers a taste you can't refuse. And it defies demise: a bottle sat on my counter for 10 days after opening and was still fresh when I finished it.
Except where listed, all bottles are 750 mL.
