Cambria "Clone 4"
Pinot Noir 2015
Santa Maria Valley, California
90 Points Wine Advocate The 2015 Pinot Noir Clone 4 was the most impressive of these offerings from Cambria, and the best value too, wafting from the glass with a complex nose of spice, cocoa nib, plums, cherries and soil. On the palate, the wine is supple, plush and expansive, with velvety tannins, juicy acids, good concentration and length and a saline, savory finish.

Midway Favorite House Red

Red Blend 2018 🍒 🍂 🍄
Paso Robles, California
If you haven’t tried this red, you don’t shop here often! We love to recommend this zippy and juicy Zinfandel based red blend, and we have been doing so all year! We love the dark fruit and spice aromas, paired with a luscious texture and a refreshing finish. This wine is made with organically grown grapes and minimal sulphur added - so its healthy and basically like eating vegetables.

Luigi Baudana “Dragon”
White Blend 2019 🍍🍈 🍐
Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
For 2020, this is the best white wine we have tasted under $20. From organically farmed vineyards in the Northern Italian region of Piedmont, this field blend is composed of varieties that are planted together and then vinified together (which is very unusual). The list of fruit that explode from the glass include kiwi, pineapple, green pear, and lime. Further the wine shows slightly nutty and herbal notes and finishes with such an elegance and finesse that are reminiscent of white burgundies that cost 5x the price.

Big and Bold!
Bojador
Tinto (Red Blend) 2019 🍷
Alentejano, Portugal
Returning for another Top 12! Full and rich, this typical blend of Portuguese grapes includes Tinto Roriz, which in other parts of the world is called Tempranillo. We love the blue fruit and gentle spice aromas, and a fruit forward palate make this a great wine to go with bold, heavily spiced and herb infused red meat dishes, especially fire roasted ribs or prime rib.

Wonder from Washington
Notebook by J. Bookwalter
Red Blend N.V. 🍷
Columbia Valley, Washington
You may have noticed NV on the label meaning Non-vintage. In this instance the winemaker blends fruit from different harvests, which gives the winemaker the ability to capture the best qualities of multiple vintages and create a more balanced and silkier blend. There’s heaps of youthful red fruits like black cherries, plums, red currants and figs wrapped with cedar, caramel and chocolate. Succulent smooth fruit begins, with flavors of bakers chocolate, black cherry, black berry, toast, dried herbs, tobacco and cola finish.

Decadent and Brooding
Dom du Bois de St. Jean
Cotes du Rhone 2017 🇫🇷
Rhone, France
We have been selling this wine for a loooooong time, and we notice that in some vintages, like the 2017, it is spectacular, and punches way above its price point. Dark bramble, and dark cherries on the nose with just a touch of garrigue lead to a very silky but balanced mouthfeel. We love the light acidity making this wine great for sipping with or without food. Make some cassoulet with roast pork or duck and have yourself a fantastic evening!

Unpretentious Perfection
Campi Valerio
Falanghina “Fannia” 2018 🇮🇹
Molise, Italy
Produced by the passionate Valerio family in the small province of Molise on the east coast of Italy. This wine is made using the wonderful Falanghina grape, grown mostly in southern Italy, and heralded for its lovely floral aromas and wonderful mineral rich textures. This bottle is a lovely value with a straw yellow color. Intense aromatics with hints of orange blossoms, yellow pear, citrus zest and nectarine. Fresh, balanced with a strong minerality.

Unoaked Chardonnay with Zip 🍋
Aussieres
Chardonnay 2018
Languedoc, France
Beautiful bright yellow with pale green highlights. Light notes of pink grapefruit and almond blossom. Ageing on the lees gives the wine richness and body, that are accompanied by freshness and finesse through to the particularly long finish.

Chateau La Tuilerie du Puy
Bordeaux Rouge 2018
Bordeaux, France
Immense sweetness explodes from the glass on this one, and in a category like cheap Bordeaux, we are used to smells that aren’t so pleasant (old socks come to mind). This one has gobs of candied currants, and blackberry pie. No oak means the wine has a fresh and zesty finish, but not overly tart and definitely dry.

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2018
Abruzzo, Italy
Made from grapes grown in the hilly section of Abruzzo on vineyards sloping down towards the Adriatic Sea. This friendly, somewhat rustic wine has nice soft fruit and provides easy drinking pleasure. Great with pizza or pasta with red sauce.

Villa Vialade
Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

What a bargain! This easy drinking Cab was on the Top 12 earlier in the year, and we couldn’t keep it in stock. Dark fruit aromas with medium body and pleasant finish make it a go-to for weeknight sipping.
