Staff Pick Notes

With the price of Cru Beaujolais going up and up, here is a nice option. I have always loved the reds from Rías Baixas, when I can find them, but they were usually more expensive than you would expect.

Rías Baixas

Located on the Northeast coast of Spain, just north of the Portuguese border, Rías Baixas is home to the famed white grape varietal Albariño. These deliciously refreshing whites typically offer aromas of peach, apricot, and melon, backed by a steely minerality and a lean, crisp finish.
