Description
Pick this pack only if you have a backpack and sense of adventure. It’s four bottles of red wine of varying styles, made with grapes of which you’re likely unfamiliar, from three countries spanning the Old and New World. Put on your hiking boots and explore the signature blend of the Cotes-du-Rhone in France: Grenache, Syrah, and Mouvedre (all grown organically!). Then head to the Langhe hills of Piemonte, where you can compare and contrast the styles of the region’s two main grapes – Barbera and Nebbiolo. Finally, fly to the other side of the globe and brace yourself for a Bordeaux-like blend from below the equator – Montes Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenere. Traverse these tasty tipples in any order you like, over the course of days or hours, ideally with similarly intrepid and venturesome friends.
What's Included
- Michele Chiarlo Barbera d’Asti “Le Orme”
- Michele Chiarlo Il Principe Nebbiolo
- Montes Limited Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenère
- Château La Nerthe “Les Cassagnes” Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Rouge AOC

Vino Joe: These are four wildly different styles of red wines, each one a stunning value. All are wines that the average person walks right by because they’ve never heard of them and think it’s easier to pick up their boring usual bottle. Don’t be average, and you’ll be delighted with these wines — each one is welcome on my table any time.
