Staff Pick Notes

Las Jaras focuses on fun natural wines made with low intervention right here in the USA. Glou, glou is the sound your throat makes when you are "chugging" this easy to drink light red. A blend of three grapes carignan, zinfandel and petite syrah. This wine is best served with a light chill. enjoy it with pizza( the label was designed by a chef and author of the cookbook PIZZACAMP by Joe Beddia) or takeout or even better bring it to your next picnic, or beach day.

Cabernet Sauvignon

The result of an illicit affair a hundred-odd years ago between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon today enjoys more worldwide popularity than both of its parents combined. It is the principal grape of Bordeaux, and as such has rightly earned its place among the greatest and most long-lived wines of the Old World; of course, it is also the most heralded grape of California, positioning it at the forefront of the New World wine scene as well. Today, Cabernet Sauvignon has a...
