Saturday Wine Club Tasting: Wines for the Barbie


Once summer is in full swing, there’s one thing on our Wine Club Director’s mind every Friday around five o’clock: barbecue!

No one seems to know this better than the folks down under: the Aussies, the Kiwis and the South Africans. Join us at our tasting counters this Saturday from 12-4PM for a taste of some of our June Wine Club selections from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, which stand up to those bold BBQ flavors, including:
