LISLE WINE TO GO!

We're featuring Wines from the Top 100 of Wine Spectator (WS) and Wine Enthusiast (WE) in this week's WINE TO GO 3 Packs at Malloy's Finest Lisle! Enjoy something special for the Holidays with these wines selected from the thousands reviewed by these professionals.

Our WHITE 3 Pack starts with WE Best Buy #43, Jules Taylor Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. Classically styled with a "heady combo of pineapple, passionfruit and grass underscored by dried herbs. It flows to a palate that's crisp, dry and peachy right to the finish. Easy sipping with lovely balance, tension and textural weight for food friendliness" Next is WE Best Buy #6, King Estate Pinot Gris. This favorite, with "lemon, mint, basil and iced tea aromas will have you daydreaming about languishing on a veranda somewhere warm and tropical. The wine's lemon shortbread and grapefruit flavors will not dissuade you of that notion. This is lighter-bodied fare, with gentle acidity. We finish with WS #27, Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc-Viognier.  This crowd pleaser "offers a lovely mix of ripe peach, apricot and orange blossom notes that are effusive, juicy and decidedly drinkable on a plump frame. Details of ripe pear, melon and dried ginger linger on the finish effortlessly alongside a hint of white tea" Top 100 WHITES for only $46 after 15% discount.

Our RED 3 Pack starts with WE Best Buy #49, Altanza Rioja Crianza. A modern style that combines "bright fruits and luscious chocolate with succulent tannins and a savory finish. This Crianza showcases the charm and satisfaction possible in Tempranillo". Next is WS #17, Ruffino Chianti Classico Riserva. "There's intensity to this red, which showcases flavors of cherry, boysenberry and blood orange, with iron, underbrush and tobacco notes peeking through as this builds to the lingering aftertaste. Verges on racy courtesy of the bracing acidity, with excellent length." We finish with WS #16 Lingua Franca Avni Pinot Noir from Larry Stone, the first Master Sommelier of Charlie Trotter's restaurant. From the Eola-Amity Hills of the Willamette Valley, it "features a core of steely acidity that frames expressive flavors of raspberry and guava, laced with crushed stone, forest floor and dusky spice notes that gather tension and richness toward fine-grained tannins". Top 100 REDS for only $75 after 15% discount.
