| 73860 | 73859 | Chile | Strawberry and wet hay aromas give way to a sweet berry-flavored attack, but the wine turns tart and almost shrill on the finish.

| 73831 | 73830 | France | This wine is fresh, crisp and still young. Crisp acidity dominates the strongly citrus character and gives a tight aftertaste of lime and pink grapefruit.

| 73850 | 73849 | US | Red cherries, dark spices of clove and anise and gingerbread show on the nose of this wine from the Foley family portfolio.

| 73852 | 73851 | US | Thick, like blueberry syrup, this is a soft, layered wine with notions of vanilla, toasted oak and spearmint that confound on the palate.

| 73853 | 73852 | France | This blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah is a well-made rosé at a realistic price.
