This week we cover 2 of the Pinot Noirs from 689 Cellars: Submission and Ramsay Pinot Noirs! Both from California, both similar, but with interesting differences!

Another amazing Cab from Paso Robles! 90 points from Wine Enthusiast!

One of the highlights from our 689 Cellars tasting! Submission Cab is a California Cab with juice sourced from Napa, Sonoma, Lodi, and Mendocino. 90 Points and “Best Buy” rating from Wine Enthusiast!

Made from Valdiguié, an uncommon grape from southern France. Its light body makes for a good chillable red perfect for the heat wave we're having (at the time of this writing).

The blend is 60% Roussanne, 20% Viognier, and the rest Grenache Blanc and Clairette.

Mar de Frades stands out for its radiant lemon colour with seaweed reflections. Its luminous appearance invites you to perceive aromas of stone fruits, like apricot, medlar fruit, along with almond flowers and subtle tropical salt notes. All the expression of Albariño.

This artisan wine is handcrafted in small lots. Grenache grapes are harvested and gently crushed. Ripe red berry, cantaloupe, and rose petal notes make this wine perfect for any occasion.
