June Theme: Global Picnic
Pack a blanket and a corkscrew.
This month's selection was chosen for outdoor meals, casual gatherings, and easy drinking. The kind of wines that feel right at home on a picnic table, spread across a backyard lunch, or opened with friends long before dinner is ready.
Global Picnic brings together bottles from some of our favorite wine regions, from coastal Chile and volcanic Sicily to Portugal, France, Spain, and Tuscany. Different places, different grapes, different styles—but all sharing a sense of freshness, approachability, and pure drinkability.
These are wines made for passing around the table. A bright white with citrus and mineral energy. A juicy Gamay that shines with a slight chill. A classic Chianti that feels equally at home with sandwiches, grilled vegetables, or pizza fresh off the fire. Nothing overly serious. Nothing that demands your full attention.
Just honest, expressive wines that pair naturally with good food and good company.
Whether you're gathering in the park, on the patio, or around a kitchen table with the windows open, these bottles bring a little bit of the world along with them.
Easy to share.
Easy to love.
Just the right wines for summer's most relaxed moments.
