Oceanstate Wine & Spirits brings five new brands to Rhode Island hailing from California, Oregon and Spain among the represented areas of origin. California’s Haus handmade aperitifs in four expressions: Citrus Flower, Rose Rosé, Grapefruit Jalapeño and Pomegranate Rosemary, offer a modern approach to botanical flavors, ready to enjoy on the rocks or with soda, tonic, or simple mixers. Paso Roble’s Tooth & Nail Wine Company makes its sustainable and bold wines in Paso Robles, offering three big reds: Tooth & Nail Cabernet Sauvignon, Tooth & Nail Red Blend 2018 and The Stand. Windemere Winery offers a Santa Barbara Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Devoted to estate-grown grapes and wine production from small lots in its MacGregor Vineyard in Edna Valley, the winery remains family-owned. From Oregon, Hazel Wine Company is inspired by many years of harvesting and crushing with wineries of friends-turned-family in Dayton and Yamhill Carlton, now making its wines from sustainable and earth-friendly practices, with a Pinot Noir a first entry. Sentidiño Albariño from Bodegas Gallegas in Rias Baixas, Spain, offers refreshing, crisp and balanced dry white wine at 12.5% ABV, a classic example of the Spanish grape varietal.
