Beringer Chenin Blanc

Gentle handling and careful attention is given to the Chenin Blanc grapes from the vine to the glass. To retain the delicate varietal flavors of crisp citrus, melon, and spicy ginger, Beringer's winemakers chill the juices immediately following crush and continue to closely monitor the temperature throughout fermentation. Just before dryness, they cool the juices even further to halt fermentation and retain a smooth, lush mouthfeel and lingering finish.

Beringer Pinot Grigio

When making Beringer Pinot Grigio, the winemaking team focuses on the refreshing crisp minerality and fruity peach undertones for which the varietal is known. Following harvest, the grapes are gently crushed and immediately pressed to minimize skin contact. A cool-fermentation follows in stainless steel to retain the Pinot Grigio’s bright, fruit forward character. The resulting wine has a refreshing bite of juicy white peach and citrus, finishing with a flinty-minerality.

Region: California
 
Sizes available: 1.5 liter & 750ml




Beringer White Merlot

To achieve the perfect color in their White Merlot, Beringer’s winemaking team gently destems and presses the Merlot grapes, leaving the red skins in contact with the juice for approximately three hours. As soon as the desired soft, red-purple hue is achieved, the juice is removed. Slow, cool fermentations follow to retain the bright acidity, fresh melon and citrus flavors. The resulting wine is a vibrant blend of fresh berry and zesty orange peel flavors, with a hint of nutmeg spice.

Region: California
 
Sizes available: 1.5 liter & 750ml




Beringer White Zinfandel

When making Beringer’s 2007 White Zinfandel, the focus was to highlight the fresh red berry, citrus and melon aromas and flavors and round these out with subtle hints of nutmeg and clove. The wine has a youthful exuberance that is appealing to anyone looking for an uncomplicated wine to accompany a meal.

Carlo Rossi

Carlo Rossi Burgundy

Unscrew the cap. Take a whiff of that robust character. Red berries with a hint of spice and dark chocolate, right? All I know is that it’s a delicious red wine.  It goes great with pasta and red sauce, Mexican or a grilled steak. Basically, anything with a zing.

Region: California
Sizes available: 4-liter



Carlo Rossi Blush

The flavor is like a romantic love story between fresh strawberries and sweet cherries. No wonder they call it blush. I’m getting red checks just thinking about it. Especially when I think about enjoying it with a warm quesadilla and my favorite senorita.

Region: California
Sizes available: 4-liter



Carlo Rossi Chablis

Some people pronounce it “Sha-bliss.” Which is understandable, since the flavor is so heavenly. But for most folks nowadays, the “s” is silent, as in Sha-blee.” Why is it important? It’s not. Enjoying it with grilled seafood, deli cuts or cheese logs? Now that is.

Region: California
Sizes available: 4-liter



Carlo Rossi Chianti

A classic Italian table wine that goes great with just about any dish you pair it with, and I’m talking pizza, spaghetti and even Pao chicken. And the best part is that it comes in a 4-liter jug, in case more friends show up for dinner than you remember inviting.

Region: California
Sizes available: 4-liter



Carlo Rossi Paisano

Paisano means “friend”, and this Paisano is one friendly wine. Invite it over for dinner and you’ll find it gets along great with everything from fish to chicken to spaghetti. Guys, take it from me: It’s great when shared with your Lady-Paisanos.

Region: California

Sizes available: 4-liter & 1.5 liter



Carlo Rossi Rhine

With the sweet, crisp taste of green apples, this wine is perfect for summers, but can be enjoyed year-round with barbecue, salads and even corn on the cob.  But enough of my yakking. All this talk is making me hungry. Let’s eat.  But first, pass the wine.

Region: California
Sizes available: 4-liter



Carlo Rossi Sangria

A fun, social wine that’s perfect for parties. Enjoy its bright, fruity flavor as-is, or add slices of your favorite fruit, let it marinate and then serve at backyard barbecues or enchilada get-togethers.  Come think of it, this wine should be on every party’s invite list.

Region: California

Sizes available: 4-liter & 1.5 liter



Carlo Rossi Vin Rosé

In France, it simply means “Pink Wine.” To me, it means light, crisp and fruity. Perfect for summer nights on the patio enjoying Mediterranean meals of Greek salads, antipasto and melon wrapped in ham. Even fried squid, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Region: California
Sizes available: 4-liter

Fetzer

Fetzer Cabernet Sauvignon

"Cabernet Sauvignon grapes hang on the trellis long after the fall harvest begins. Patience is a duty, not a virtue, as we wait for the grapes to ripen. I’m reminded to slow down and wait for Nature to unlock her secrets. So I relax and enjoy this wine full of black cherry flavors, a hint of chocolate and aromas of vanilla and spice. Patience is
truly rewarded."

Dennis Martin

Winemaker

Region: California

Sizes available: 1.5 liter




Fetzer Chardonnay

This is a wine with a medium body, full of easy-to-drink flavors of apple, pear and tropical fruits. So when the day is done, I like to relax and refresh with good friends. Our Chardonnay is always invited."

Dennis Martin

Fetzer Gewurztraminer

"It’s often called gavurtz because it’s hard to say, and even harder to spell. This wine, though, is a secret weapon, great for taming spicy foods or sipping on its own. Enjoy the honeyed apricot and peach flavors in the glass, and breathe deeply to capture the aromas of rose petals and honeysuckle. Lots of people love this wine, even if they’ll never spell it. Just ask for gavurtz. We’ll know what you mean."

This wine goes great with just about any meal, making it a good choice to have on hand for every day.
(That’s what I do.)"

Fetzer Pinot Grigio

"The secret is out about Pinot Grigio. Loved in Europe (and known by other names like Pinot Gris), this is a versatile wine that goes well with a wide variety of foods and moods. We craft our wine to showcase a refreshing basket of flavors like apple, pinkgrapefruit and lime sorbet. There’s even a bouquet of wildflower aromas in every glass. No wonder the secret’s been spilled."

Dennis Martin
Winemaker

Fetzer Pinot Noir


"Wine is about discovery, and Pinot Noir is my favorite wine to explore (and drink). Our Valley Oaks wines are made to be approachable and instantly enjoyable. Take a sip of this very special Pinot Noir and you just might discover a new favorite of your own."
 
Dennis Martin
Winemaker

Region: California

Sizes available: 1.5 liter



Fetzer Riesling

"Riesling comes in many styles, and is popular enough that some call it the new Chardonnay. We just call it good. Our personal style blends fruit from cooler areas of California to create a wine both rich and floral, pale yellow in color with aromas of pear and apricot. In the glass, you’ll taste peaches and apricots, a gracious invitation to sit a spell and enjoy with friends."

Dennis Martin
Winemaker

Region: California

Sizes available: 750ml



Fetzer Sauvignon Blanc

"I’m a grape-friendly winemaker. Rather than push, I persuade. Our Sauvignon Blanc is a wine that calls for a soft hand to capture the crisp, clean flavors of lemon, green apple and mint making this a popular, food-friendly wine. With its balance of refreshing flavors and smooth taste, this is a great wine to start the end of your day."
