This Merlot puts on an elegant and refined show to the benefit of your taste buds and nostrils. You’ll recognize aromas of black fruit, polished stone, tobacco, leather and exotic spice. The mouthfeel is soft and plush and there is a playful touch of toasted wood and bitter almond on the close.

“Pass the Cookies! In my next life, I’ll be thin,” is the full name of this delicate dessert wine from Northeast Italy. The wine offers elegant aromas of pressed flowers, orange blossoms and candied fruit. It’s sweet, chewy and fresh in the mouth and as the catchy name suggests, it would make an easy and affordable match to cookies and dried biscuits.

The full name of this Italian dessert wine is: In my next life, I’ll be thin. Pass the Cookies! Whimsical humor aside, the Verduzzo-based wine is made with air-dried grapes for intensely concentrated tones of butterscotch and candied fruit.

This luminous wine has a smooth, creamy quality that is reinforced by generous aromas of pineapple, citrus, peach and a dot of vanilla. It tastes fruity and fresh, but doesn’t lack in structure, and would pair well with mushroom risotto.
