Grapes To Know and Love - Pick 3 Tastes - $10

Glatzer Gruner Veltliner - $3/HALF -$5/GL - $12.99/btl
This Gruner Veltliner is pretty special. It has a little substance to it, and always leaves me feeling like I've invested my dollars wisely.

Domaine de l'Ecu Muscadet Gneiss - $4/HALF - $7/GL - $17.99/btl
This wine challenges any preconceptions of Muscadet as simple, acidic, watery, inconsequential. It offers as much to ponder (or simply enjoy) as any white from France. (Grape: Melon de Bourgogne)

D. Ventura Ribeira Sacra Vina do Burato - $4.50/HALF - $8/GL - $18.99/btl
A Beaujolais comparison is perhaps inevitable: this has the fun, charming aspects of a good lighter-in-body wine that is minerally, complex and concentrated. (Grape: Mencia)

Breton Clos Senechal - $5/HALF - $9/GL - $24.99/btl
Clos Senechal is Cabernet Franc from 15- and 30-year-old vines, aged in barrel for five months. The product is natural, hand-made goodness.
