Wells Discount Liquors

(serving Baltimore since 1937!)

I had a fantastic time pouring wines for the holidays during their huge, store wide wine sale.  The two favorites of the night were the Avantis Malagousia and Paolo Laureano's Ema's Vineyard Red.  These wines are excellent out of the box choices for anyone hoping to move beyond riesling and pinot noir this Thanksgiving. 

Avantis Malagousia

Best of Greece-Evia

Jasmine-Citrus-Rose

Malagousia is an ancient Greek variety- considered their richest and most noble white grape. Intense exotic fruit aromas and elegant floral characteristics- Fruity palate with crisp acidity and notes of grapefruit, lime, white peach, pear, lemon blossom and hints of minerality.

Ema’s Vineyard Red

by Paolo Laureano

100% Portuguese Varieties

With respect to the character and terroir of Portugal, famed oenologist Paolo Laureano has crafted a sleek and soulful blend of Aragonez, Trincadeira, Tinta Grossa, and Alicante Bouschet. Reminiscent of Spain’s Priorat wines, the Alentejo region’s schist soils and warm sun lend an abundance of ripe red fruits and blackberry liqueur. Plush and full bodied, against a backdrop of stony minerality.

 


During the Wells semi-annual wine sale, you buy one bottle and get an identical bottle for half off.  That applies to their entire selection.  What a great deal.  Sale runs through Monday.
