Long recognized for producing Pinot Grigio of the highest caliber, Barone Fini Pinot Grigio is crisp and clean, focused on the palate, with subtle fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish (DOC in 1975). This is a great bottle to gift at your next holiday event.

Eppa SupraFruta Sangria is the only rated bottled sangria – earning 90 points from The Tasting Panel Magazi. This yummy Sangria is crafted in Mendocino, California with a blend of real, antioxidant-rich SuperFruit juices blended with premium varietal wines made from certified organically-grown grapes and makes for a fun and fruity host/hostess gift at your next holiday party.

LTP loves this one because Sangria is the new punch at just about everyone’s party! Forget the cranberry twist or orange lime mix that is typically served and bring the fruity fun and smooth taste to your next holiday bash! Remember, this bottle is full of antioxidants, so its the gift that keeps on giving with each sip!

The fun and great taste you’ve come to expect from [ yellow tail ] in the form of bubbles! Now you don’t need an excuse to drink some bubbly.
