PULENTA ESTATE Malbec 2012
Perhaps the only thing that could make an Argentinian wine more delicious? If it came from an Italian wine-making family with a century-long heritage. Pulenta has been one of the great wine names in Argentina and this month’s selection highlights why. With its rich, amethyst color and elegant finesse, this Malbec proudly reveals its best-of-both countries legacy.

MONTICELLO VINEYARDS Chardonnay 2013
“Great wines are made in the vineyards” is the philosophy of the Monticello family. Since 1969, they’ve been committed to owning the most suitable land for their grapes. The result? Five small vineyards lovingly nurtured to produce lush, limited edition wines. One sip of this Chardonnay proves world-class wine doesn’t need to go big.
