A beautiful, delicate white with a sleek, focused mouthfeel, with hints of peaches and citrus fruits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Each and every one of our Wine Specialists, all with different taste and experiences, fell in love with this wine<\/strong>.\u00a0Corsican wine has been around for over a millennium, don\u2019t you think it\u2019s about time you tried one?<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Supplies are limited<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We pride ourselves in having one of the very best staffs in the country and we believe we have assembled just that.\u00a0Check out our brand new video series with Wine Specialists Holly Howell and Mike Martin.
