From the slopes of a dormant volcano, Monte Vulture...

brothers Andrea and Lorenzo Piccin, create a wine using exclusively Aglianico del Vulture grapes, an ancient vine that prefers this volcanic setting. With aromas of cherry, minerals, floral, and pepper, the palate has hints of graphite, a light and elegant structure, and a marked acidity that encourages ...drinking every drop.

Try something new with Grifalco Aglianico del Vulture this summer.

As the days get warmer, relax with an Aperol Spritz!

This Italian aperitivo, created in Padua in 1919, is even easier to enjoy. Aperol now produces its own “ready to serve” cocktail, made with the finest ingredients to showcase their timeless classic.

Making your own? The traditional recipe is 3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Aperol, and 1 part club soda --- and don’t forget the orange slice.

Could Prosecco be even BETTER? Yes, it can.

What will you serve at your next barbeque?

Consider an Australian Shiraz. The rich flavor profile of the Shiraz, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and pepper, stands up well with roasted meats, spicy smoky foods, as well as a robust charcuterie board.

Barossa Valley wines are bold, fruit-filled and pair well with grilled meats of all kinds. Or try Farm to Table, a cooler climate Shiraz from granite-filled Strathbogie Ranges. Wine Enthusiast says, "There's a lovely herb and spice medley to start on this wine, like a Mediterranean kitchen garden atop a fruit cake."

Come in and try them all.
