Sampler Trio Pack
The perfect gift for fans of Mengler's trio of White and Rosé wines!
The trio pack includes one each of our Viognier, Unoaked Chardonnay and Rosé, each one distinctive and refreshing in its own way. At full retail these wines are a great everyday value, but our Sampler Trio Pack is yours at 25% off. At that price, why not pick up more than one and share them with friends.
$95 retail bottle value for the trio | NOW $70 a pack!
Big Block Party!
Our Rita's Block is an amazing red blend that's even more dramatic in a Magnum.
We give you access to the wine; you make the party happen. Whenever family, friends and neighbors gather, bring along a magnum of our signature wine, a vineyard blend of 20 varietals, picked and produced by our own family and friends. Be the only one on your block to own this wine. Truly Limited! (90 points, Wine Spectator).
Rita's Block Magnum, $150
