Where is this?
Within the northern band lies the entire West Coast of the United States and a little extra to the north and south, plus all of the major wine-growing countries of Europe — from Portugal and Spain over to Hungary and Greece. If you were to continue following that band around the globe, you would see wine-growing regions in the Middle East and the rest of Asia. In the Southern Hemisphere, the 30-50 band includes the major wine regions of Chile, Argentina, South Africa and Australia, along with the entire country of New Zealand.

Chateau Dauzac Bordeaux de Dauzac
Chateau Dauzac is a fifth-growth estate located in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Owned by the powerful Johnson family for the better part of the 19th and 20th centuries, it then went through several changes of hands before being acquired in 2020 by the Rouilleau family, Christian Rouilleau. Le Bordeaux de Dauzac is a blend of Merlot and Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon, sourced from vineyards throughout the region but made by the highly skilled team at the chateau. This is a powerful red with a beautiful balance between acidity and tannins.
Il Casalone Lambrusco
We’re talking “farmer’s fizz” here. Amilcare Alberici is a true farmer at heart, With his daughter, Arianna by her side, they craft fully organic, small production efforts with a ton of heart and soul. This is traditionally styled Lambrusco incorporating mostly Lambrusco Salamino and a small percentage of Ancellotta which is rarely seen in Emilia-Romagna. This bottling will appeal to newbies and discerning palates of the category alike. Best to enjoy with a slight chill. The “Casalone” emits a brilliant ruby hue with an opulent violet foam. The nose is effervescent, playful with plenty of purple and black fruits laced with violets and dried rose petals. Plenty of dark plum and black currant dance on the palate with hints of licorice, ink, menthol, and coffee. There’s a hint of flinty minerality with a medicinal quality that aids in better digestion. Hard to put this one down with its mass appeal and relatively low alcohol content. Lovers of Lambrusco should stock up on this new find!
