Fresh wines and festive bubbles for your spring table
The grass is turning a little greener, bunnies are hopping through the yards, and spring is in the air. Easter is almost here! This week we are featuring wines and spirits that are perfect for your Easter table and for all of your spring gatherings.
Award Winning White Walnut Estate Wines
White Walnut Estate sits on land with a remarkable story. Formerly a walnut orchard that had been unattended for generations, the property was completely overgrown when Chris Mazepink purchased it in 2013. Sensing its potential, Chris and his sons Archer and Charles cleared the land by hand in 2014 and planted Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in 2015 and 2016. The remaining walnut trees, now more than 70 years old, still stand among the vines. With just 6.3 planted acres and neighboring vineyards like Domaine Drouhin and Archery Summit, the wines show impressive complexity, vibrant energy, and a strong sense of place.
Le Garenne Sancerre 2024
This classic Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, vibrant, and ideal for spring entertaining. The playful bunny on the label practically calls out for Easter celebrations, while the wine delivers bright citrus, fresh minerality, and lively acidity that pair beautifully with ham, salads, seafood, and lighter holiday dishes.

Dosio Langhe Riesling 2021
Located just outside the hamlet of La Morra in the Serradenari region, the Dosio winery began as an 18th century farmhouse overlooking the plains of Cuneo and Turin with the Alps in the distance. In 1974 the property was transformed into a winery and has since become a respected producer in Piedmont. Their Langhe Riesling offers bright acidity, delicate floral aromas, and fresh orchard fruit that make it a versatile and refreshing spring wine.
Hyland Estate Riesling 2024
This expressive Oregon Riesling delivers lively citrus, stone fruit, and crisp minerality with refreshing acidity. Clean and vibrant, it is a wonderful match for spring cuisine, seafood dishes, and Easter gatherings, or simply for enjoying on a sunny afternoon.

Light, refreshing, and beautifully balanced, QSS Rare Rosé offers delicate red berry flavors and soft floral notes that are perfect for warm spring days. Even better, the wine is part of a campaign dedicated to helping protect endangered animals, making every bottle both enjoyable and meaningful.
