December 2025 Manager picks

Hugh Hamilton “The Rascal” Shiraz — Australia
Dark, bold, and delightfully complex. Black fruits with layers of licorice, molasses, and black tea lead into red cherry and raspberry notes. A touch of spice and cigar-leaf richness finishes this deep, youthful wine. Enjoy now or cellar to unveil even more character. $19.99

Giacosa Nebbiolo d’Alba — Italy
A delicate bouquet reminiscent of violets. Bright fruit and lively structure when young, evolving into a soft, velvety texture with age. A classic Italian red offering elegance in every sip. $21.99

Bread & Butter Chardonnay — California
Creamy notes of vanilla bean, almond, and tropical fruit make this Chardonnay smooth and indulgent. Balanced acidity and a toasty finish give it a comforting winter style — perfect with creamy pastas, roasted veggies, or binge-watching your favorite show. $16.99

Jules Taylor Sauvignon Blanc — New Zealand
Expressive aromas of passionfruit, ruby red grapefruit, and white peach leap from the glass. Fresh citrus and stone notes follow on the palate, finishing dry and mouth-watering — everything you love about Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. $18.99
