Wouldn’t you like to win an amazing trip to northern Italy or Catalunya, Spain, combining fine wine, food, architecture, the great outdoors, and much more, all in one great adventure?!
One of our suppliers, Austral Wine Merchants, is offering Mac’s Beer & Wine clients the chance to participate in a raffle for a trip to Italy or Spain.
I (Ray Woo, Wine Manager) was able to go on a trip with Austral Wine Merchants last Spring, we spent 10 days between Barcelona, Valencia, Jumilla, Monsant & Catalunya in Spain and Umbria & Tuscany in Italy. It was an amazing time spent in small family-run vineyards, seeing how they focus on quality at every level of the production of their wines. We brought many of these wines back with us and they’ve become favorites of our staff and our customers. If you’ve ever dreamed of a trip like this, don’t miss out on the opportunity….

Wine of the Month
Castillo de Jumilla 2006 Crianza
Nice cherry red Monastrell juice with enticing notes of nuts, vanilla, earthy undertones, and some toasty oak on the nose. Full bodied on the palate, with warm, round tannins and great length and complexity thanks to several months in French and American oak. Wonderful with heavy cheeses, hearty casseroles, roasted meats and game. You won’t be disappointed!
