Becker Chardonnay
Tip your hat and raise your glass to Texas Wine Month! The Texas Hill Country is the Napa Valley of the Lone Star State, and nobody is doing more to promote Texas wine than Becker Vineyards. Their Chardonnay is a classic style, expressing more fruit and earth notes than the more modern style of oak and butter.

Michel-Schlumberger Le Sage Merlot
“Le Sage,” French for “The Wise,” fittingly describes this Merlot that earned a Gold Medal at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair. It’s made with a variety of soils for depth and complexity, and a small amount of their estate Cabernet to highlight the structure and classic Merlot flavors.
