- BTL Dry Riesling - Kuentz Bas$24.00
- BTL Pinot Grigio - Gradis Ciutta
We're in Texas so that means it's time to smash some pinot grigio. Goes great as a start to a great meal, with firm cheese, or with spicier foods. Straight outta Italy with peach and apple on the nose and a hug of the taste buds on your palate.

- BTL Red Blend - Trefethen Double T
Back in the old days when people used to eat in restaurants we sold a ton of this wine. Ah, memories (*weeps audibly*). Anyway this is a super fun wine. Five grapes bring all the Napa Valley boys to the yard: Cab Sav brings depth, Merlot brings spiciness, Petit Verdot adds rich color, Malbec's got the silkiness and Cab Franc contributes hints of violet. So good.
