On May 25th, wine lovers from all over the world will gather to celebrate one of the best holidays of the year - National Wine Day. What are you planning on sipping? Here are a few of our favorite wines to celebrate with: 

Callia Pinot Grigio

The Callia Pinot Grigio is a soft blend with notes of peaches, tropical fruit, and a hint of jasmine, making it a youthful tasting white wine paired with a strong apricot and white flower aroma. 

Highlands 41 Chardonnay

The Highlands 41 Chardonnay is ripe with the aromas of guava, orange peel, and citrus with a touch of spicy oak to add complexity to the sip. This crisp chardonnay pairs well with fish or wild mushroom risotto! 

Saracina Sauvignon Blanc

The Saracina Sauvignon Blanc has a punch of juicy and sweet flavors, making you feel like you are in the midst of spring. This sauvignon blanc opens with a combination of oyster shell, wet stone, and lime notes that keeps the flavor fresh and light. 

Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec

The Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec is a vigorous red with violet tints and an aromatic profile that expresses intense raspberries and blackberries on the nose. This malbec is vibrant with a round structure and juicy finish. 

Velante Pinot Grigio 

The Velante Pinot Grigio is a little taste of Italy in a bottle! This pinot grigio has a subtle blend of apples, ripe pears, and peaches that pairs well with cheese boards and picnics.
