Curio Wines

One of Johnny's favorite things about his job is to try new wines to bring to Curio! At your visit in September, you'll find 15 new wines to explore in the WineStations, including a new Pinotage, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Chianti, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Try a glass in Curio's lovely courtyard, the perfect place to connect with someone special. 🍷♥

The delicious Veramonte Carménère Reserva from Colchagua Valley, Chile is the featured Curio Club wine for September!

This wine offers aromas of spicy black fruit, subtle chocolate hints, and a palate of ripe blackberry, with soft tannins and a slightly savory finish. Eight months of aging in French oak contributes to its mild vanilla notes without overpowering the fruit flavors. Medium-bodied. Made with organic grapes.

All active Curio Wine Club members can purchase this for 50% off (to go)! If you’re not a member of the Curio Wine Club, check out all of the features and sign up in Curio or online here: https://curiowines.com/wine-club/.

The crisp Doktor Heyden Silvaner is the featured Curio Club wine for August.
