Las Lilas Vinho Verde & Las Lilas Vinho Verde Rosé Vinho Verde translates to “green wine,” essentially meaning it’s to be consumed in its youth. Light in body with slight fizz, it’s delightful and thirst quenching, especially as an aperitif. With notes of white pepper and peach, enjoy the Lilas Vinho Verde with snacks like olives and anchovies, or a meal of grilled fish. The rosé version offers cherry flavors, floral notes, and a crisp palate – a perfect backyard wine to be enjoyed by itself or with salad and seafood.

Churchill’s 10-Year-Old Tawny Port This 10-year-old Tawny possesses a complex fragrance of roasted nuts and sweet fruit. There’s impeccable definition and richness, a velvety texture, and a long finish that is clean and dry.
