September Case of the Month: Value Wines
Twelve bottles, one seriously good deal.
This month's Case of the Month is built to help you restock after a busy summer. We pulled together local favorites like Timothy Malone and Chosen Family Wines alongside picks from France, Italy, Spain, and Chile, mixing whites, reds, and rosé so there's something in here no matter what you're drinking this month.
The full case runs $182 (regularly $227), which works out to about $15.16 a bottle. Grab one anytime during September.
Highlights from the Case
Vecchia Modena, Cleto Chiarli
Cleto Chiarli has been making Lambrusco in Modena for over 150 years, and this bottle carries some of that legacy.
It's made from Lambrusco di Sorbara, the lightest and most delicate of the Lambrusco grapes, thin-skinned enough that the wine pours closer to pale ruby than deep red. Dry, lively, and full of strawberry and cherry with a little floral lift on the nose, it's the kind of Lambrusco that tends to change people's minds about the category altogether.
Grab a bottle and see what all the fuss is about.
G.D. Vajra Langhe Rosso
G.D. Vajra has been cultivating vineyards around Barolo since the 1970s, and their Langhe Rosso is the easygoing, everyday side of a serious Piedmont producer.
In the glass it's a transparent garnet red, with cherry, red currant, and a touch of earth on the nose. Medium-bodied and juicy, with soft, well-integrated tannins, it's the kind of wine that overdelivers for the price.
Great with pasta, grilled meats, or just on its own on a Tuesday.
