May
2023 Red Cheap & Cheerful $81
after your savings of 10%. Pricing
is going up across the board. I’m
doing my best to find you the best
bang for the buck! Feel free to mix
them up, we do not mind!
- 2021 Bodegas Herncia Altés Garntxa
Spain, $14 A quite clear Picota
cherry red color with violet rim.
Intense aromas of red fruits,
redcurrants and ripe yet fresh
raspberries. Much more serious in
the mouth than you’d expect. With
pleasant soft tannins, a fresh entry
and good length, it offers an
enveloping texture and a splendid
concentration of fruit. This is a
red wine made by Herencia Altés in
the D.O. Terra Alta. Although the
Terra Alta is not yet a well-known
region, it is one of the biggest
winegrowing regions in Catalonia.
This wine is made 100% with Garnacha
Tinta grapes from vineyards in
Batea, the town containing over 50%
of the D.O.'s vineyards. The soils
are rich in clay and limestone, and
poor in organic material. The grapes
are harvested manually in boxes and
ferment at a controlled temperature
of 23-24ºC. The maceration lasts for
6 days. The wine is then aged for 4
months in Austrian oak barrels.
- 2016 Foris Merlot Rogue Valley,
Oregon $17 Our 2016 Merlot is a
full-bodied aromatic wine with black
cherry and plum. It is full bodied
with red and black fruit and savory
accents of forest floor, cedar,
pencil, and leather, wrapped in
balanced tannin. It is an elegant
interpretation of the type of
Bordeaux wines in the Rogue Valley
can deliver in great warm vintages.
(The Winery)
- 2021 Masseria Li Veli Passamante
Salice Salentino Italy $16 This 100%
Negroamaro has red fruits aromas,
with light spicy note.
Medium-bodied, smooth with soft
tannins; well balanced with good
acidity and a finish. Pairs well
with tomato-based pizza and pasta as
well as spicy foods and
burgers.
- 2021 Angeline Cabernet Sauvignon
Sonoma County, CA $11 Striking with
rich notes of cassis, boysenberry,
and blackberry with clove and cacao
nib. Not heavy wine, it is a little
easier going enjoy with a light meal
or sitting on the patio smelling
spring in the air.
- Marietta Cellars OVR #73
Geyserville CA. $18 Tastes like the
gutsy field blends popularized by
Italian immigrants back in the day,
with potent wild berry, licorice and
smoky cracked pepper flavors that
finish with broad-shouldered
tannins. Zinfandel.90 Points Wine
Spectator
- 2021 Villadoria Tardo Barbera
D’Alba $14 Ruby red color. Intense
nose of red fruits and berries.
Fresh and balanced on the palate. A
short ageing of four months in wood
gives a hint of vanilla nose and
velvety taste.

Wine & Bistro May Rose Cheap and
Cheerful $78.30
includes 10% discount
- 2021 La Jolie Fleur Mèditerranée
Rosé France $15.
Winemaker’s notes: A classic
Provençal Rosé, Fleur de Mer is a
brilliant pale pink color, beautifully
balanced with bright fruit notes and
crisp acidity. Delicate aromas of
fresh watermelon and cherry give way
to a complex, refreshing palate.
Layers of red berries and subtle
citrus are complemented by a softly
textured middle and a fine, cleansing,
mineral finish.
- 2021 Chignardiere Gamay Rosé Loire
Valley, France $12. Gamay is a
naturally crisp and clean taste full
of cherry flavor, enjoy this wonderful
summer Rose with your favorite Salmon
dish or sipping on the patio.
- 2022 Quady North GSM Rosé Rogue
Valley $15.
Sourcing classic rosé varietals from
blocks that were specifically planted
and grown for Rosé, this vintage is
done in a dry, Southern French style.
The blend is approximately 48%
Grenache, 42% Syrah, 9% Mourvèdre, and
1% Counoise. A bright citrus skin note
balances the full fruit flavor. The
finish is crisp and refreshing. 91

- 2022 Stoller Family Estate Rosé of
Pinot Noir Oregon $15.
Aromas of ground spices, pink
cherries, currants, and citrus rind.
Medium-bodied and crunchy with tangy
acidity and a vivid, citrusy finish.
90 Points James Suckling
- 2021 Armas Guerra Rosado Mencia
Spain $15.
A pale pink color. Lively red berry
and orange zest scents are
complemented by fresh floral and white
pepper flourishes. Juicy and precise,
offering bitter red currant and
tangerine flavors that deepen and
become sweeter on the back half. Taut
and nervy on the finish, which hangs
on with good spicy persistence. This
light, dry Rosé is perfect for light
salads, light pasta, and rice dishes,
especially with seafood, raw and
lightly cooked shellfish and grilled
fish and goat's milk cheeses.
- 2021 Seven Hills Rosé of Cabernet
Franc Walla Walla, WA. $15.
This rosé is an appealing pale-peach
color. The aromas bring notes of whole
green pepper, pea pod, strawberry, and
citrus. Dry, lighter styled citrus and
pepper flavors follow. Traditionally,
this wine starts out a bit green and
then settles with additional time in
bottle. That will likely hold true
here too.

Wine and Bistro May 2023 White Cheap
and Cheerful First six wines $76.50
- 2022 Herència Altés Garnatxa blanca
Spain $14 Harvested by hand. Only the
first part of the pressed must, the
“mosto flor” (free-run juice). Natural
spontaneous fermentation with wild
yeasts in stainless steel tanks. After
fermenting, the wine stands on its
lees for three months with regular
stirring or batonnages to add
structure, creaminess, and longevity
to the finished result. Garnatxa
Blanca is a fresh, honest, and
balanced wine. A splendidly expressive
nose offers citrus and fruity aromas
as well as Mediterranean herbs. Very
fresh in the mouth, with an elegant
and lively acidity. Shellfish
friendly.
- 2020 Marisco Vineyards Fernlands
Sauvignon New Zealand $14
Quintessentially fresh, focused, and
zippy on the nose with aromas of lime
juice, leafy hedge row and ripe yellow
citrus. The palate builds on themes
established by the aromatics
delivering bright, zesty citrus based
flavors with a long palate neatly
framed by mouth-watering acidity.
- 2020 Angeline Chardonnay Sonoma
County, CA. $15
Effortless with fresh notes of apple,
pear, and tropical fruit with vanilla
spices.
- 2021 Calvet Muscadet Sevre-Et-Maine
Sur Lie $15 Delicate aromas of wet
stone and pretty orchard fruit. With
great tension, this wine has a mineral
core embracing appealing bright citrus
and summer fruit salad flavors. A fine
Muscadet with a silky texture and a
long finish. Enjoy with shellfish!
- 2021 Louis Jadot Macon Chardonnay,
Burgundy $15 Produced in the Mâconnais
region of Burgundy, Mâcon-Villages is
vinified with no oak contact to retain
the elegant aromas and clean, fresh
character that this region is prized
for. The vineyard soils have a high
percentage of chalk and limestone
which impart nuanced minerality. This
wine shows floral, apple and citrus
aromas with fresh, clean flavors and
mineral notes. Delicious with Crab
Cakes, any shellfish, and Goat Cheese.
- 2021 Chateau Haut-Rian White
Bordeaux, France $12 Critic tasting
note: "A crisp and fruity wine with
attractive green apple flavors that
will fill out with a more creamy
character as it matures. The wine is
lively with acidity and a zesty
aftertaste. Roger Voss" - 88/100, Wine
Enthusiast. White Bordeaux blend is a
term Wine-Searcher uses to gather
together wines blended from the three
classic white-wine grapes of Bordeaux:
Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and
Muscadelle. In this blend, Sauvignon
brings its trademark grassy aromas,
while Semillon adds a touch of
complexity and a waxy, honeyed note.
Muscadelle, the lesser-known of the
three varieties, contributes grapey
aromas.
