The Wine You Should Be Drinking Now

Greetings From New London,

First we want to thank all of the people that came out to greet Frankie Williams and to welcome her home to New London. We sipped wine, listened to stories, and demonstrated what an amazing group our customers and friends are. It was a special night.

campari 150 yearsI
n 1860, Gaspare Campari, master drink maker at the Bass Bar in Turin, Italy, developed the formula for a new liqueur featuring more than 60 ingredients including fruit peels, spices, herbs, and barks. Campari, the cherry-red apéritif he created, celebrates its 150th birthday this year.

An early cocktail featuring the spirit was the Americano, made with Campari and sweet vermouth, stirred and served over crushed ice with twists of both lemon and orange peels. Perhaps the most iconic Campari concoction is the Negroni, which was invented in 1919 at Italy's Casoni bar when Count Camillo Negroni ordered his Americano with one part gin as well as equal parts Campari and vermouth.

If you would like to raise the bar a little at your next get together - try adding Campari - and offer truly classic cocktails. We have it in stock.

Baguala Torrontes $8

Baguala MalbecHere's a new find from Argentina for our fans of super-affordable Torrontes.

This has more body, acidity and depth than the one you've grown to know and love, still with the unmistakable wildflower nose only found in Argentina's signature white grape.


We love Astica too, but hope to provide another quaffable, summery white in addition. Variety is the spice of life!





Domaine de Fenouillet Cotes de Ventoux $14


 Domaine de FenouilletThis old French friend has just reappeared in the gorgeous 2008 vintage. This is one of the best Ventoux we've ever carried and still quite affordable (you may remember it with its forgettable olive drab label).

If we had to pick one word, it would be Balance. Composed of Grenache, Syrah, old-vine Mourvedre and Cinsault. A lovely, harmonious Rhone with a bit of prickly tannin which is a perfect complement to robust salads or picnics with grilled chicken and summer squash.







Costozza Cabernet $16
Costozza Cabernet Sauvignon

Another of our staff favorites, a wine that blinks into fashion then slinks back into obscurity on the shelf (we're still getting the 2004 vintage, Italian wine fans).

An odd duck - Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from the northern Veneto region (best known for Pinot Grigio and Prosecco).

Earthy, unmistakably Italian, but with five years in bottle, mellow and sublime. This wine activates your taste buds for things like grilled red meats - say, a nice wood-charred hangar steak sliced and served with arugula, shaved Parmesan and toasted pine nuts.
