European Wines

El Persa Albariño captures the essence of Portugal’s sunlit shores in every sip. Light-bodied and refreshingly dry, it brims with crisp green apple, zesty citrus, delicate white flowers, and a hint of wet stone. This wine shines alongside grilled lobster, seared scallops, or a flaky, herb-roasted branzino. For something lighter, try it with a tangy goat cheese salad. No matter where you are, this wine brings a taste of the coast to your glass —bright, breezy, and endlessly inviting.

The 2022 Vega Demara Tempranillo Joven is a youthful and energetic red wine from Spain's La Mancha region. Deep cherry in color with violet hints, it delivers vibrant strawberry and cherry aromas with subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is well-structured with balanced tannins and a fruity finish, making it perfect for casual dining.

Pair it with burgers, pizza, pasta, or appetizers, and chill slightly to enhance its fresh and fruity flavor.

Rich and layered, this full-bodied red blend delivers a bold yet balanced style. Ripe blackberry flavors are complemented by warm cinnamon, subtle leather, and earthy notes, finishing dry with plenty of depth. Its structure pairs beautifully with rigatoni in a slow-simmered tomato and meat sauce, a hearty vegetable stew, and a cheese board featuring aged cheddar, nutty Gruyère, or creamy Camembert. Crafted in France, the 2019 Cameron Hughes Lot 842 Red Blend offers generous flavor and classic appeal.

Truly the pinnacle expression of the varietal sourced from a high-end artisanal winery in Asti.

With a beautiful frizzante (fizzy) effervescence, this Moscato d’Asti is the creamy, vivacious, semi-sweet Italian white you’ve been missing. It is positively bursting with every peach flavor you can imagine, from just-picked yellow peaches, ushering you back to childhood, then bringing you home again with a wonderfully-refreshing white peach acidity. The finish is crisp and clean with notes of fresh orange blossoms and candied green apples. You’d be wise to pair this with gooey, creamy cow's milk soft-ripened cheeses and maybe even a slice of red velvet cake at the end of the night. Serve well-chilled.

Long-time CHW fans know that since our first Moscato release some 10 years ago, it’s been a monster runaway hit, and year after year the most frequent request (by a mile) to our customer service inbox is this: “When are you getting the Moscato again?!” Not Napa Valley Cabernet, but Moscato d’Asti.

Sourced from a high-end artisanal winery in Asti, there’s never enough supply to meet our demand, and availability is never guaranteed in any year. Lot 836 is truly the pinnacle expression of the varietal, and the one you’ll find yourself using as a benchmark against all others – you may never be able to drink another Moscato again. This is one to have on hand year-round folks, so grab a few cases while they last!

Pairs perfectly with citrus salad!
