White
2024 L.A. Cetto Chenin Blanc
Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico 12.5% ABV
(Sh-eh-nen Bla-hn-k)
Wine tasting notes-
L.A. Cetto Chenin Blanc 2024 is a bright, approachable white wine made from 100% Chenin Blanc grown in the Valle de Guadalupe of Baja California, Mexico.
Pale straw-yellow in the glass with brilliant clarity, it opens with fresh, expressive aromas of pineapple, ripe banana, green apple, pear, and delicate honey. The combination of tropical and orchard fruit gives the wine an inviting, distinctly warm-climate character.
On the palate, the wine is light-bodied and fruit-forward, with ripe pineapple and pear complemented by crisp green apple and subtle citrus. It has a gently rounded, slightly off-dry character balanced by refreshing acidity, keeping the wine lively rather than overly sweet. The finish is clean and pleasantly fruity, with lingering notes of tropical fruit and a faint touch of honey.
The 2024 vintage is produced from Chenin Blanc grapes grown in the Valle de Guadalupe and is vinified in stainless-steel tanks at low temperatures. This approach helps preserve the grape's fresh fruit aromas and natural brightness rather than adding oak or heavy winemaking flavors. The resulting wine is uncomplicated, refreshing, and designed to showcase the ripe fruit character of the variety and the sunny Baja California growing conditions.
With its combination of tropical fruit, orchard fruit, gentle sweetness, and refreshing acidity, this Chenin Blanc is an especially easy-drinking Mexican white. It works beautifully chilled as an aperitif but has enough acidity and fruit character to complement food, particularly dishes with citrus, tropical fruit, herbs, or a touch of sweetness.
​​
Food Pairing-
This Chenin Blanc pairs especially well with grilled fish, shrimp, ceviche, and other lighter seafood dishes. Try it with grilled shrimp finished with lime and cilantro, fish tacos with cabbage and citrus, or ceviche with mango or pineapple. Its gentle sweetness also makes it a particularly good match for lightly sweet or fruit-forward sauces, including grilled chicken or pork with pineapple, citrus, or tropical fruit salsa. It also works well with fresh salads, especially those containing apples, pears, citrus, or a honey-based vinaigrette. L.A. Cetto specifically recommends it with fish, poultry, pork, and grilled seafood served with tropical or citrus-based sauces.
​
Cheese-
It pairs best with fresh, young, and mildly tangy cheeses that complement its fruit-forward character without overwhelming its delicate acidity. Fresh goat cheese, queso fresco, young mozzarella, ricotta, and mild young sheep's cheese are particularly good choices. For a Mexican pairing, try queso fresco or a mild queso de cabra alongside fresh fruit, toasted nuts, and a drizzle of honey.

Red
2023 Aromea Primitivo
(Pree-mee-TEE-voh)
Puglia, Italy 14% ABV
Wine tasting notes-​
Aromea Primitivo 2023 is a rich and expressive red wine made from 100% Primitivo grapes grown in the Salento area of southern Puglia. It pours an intense ruby red with deep purple and garnet hues. The nose is bold and aromatic, opening with dark cherries, ripe blackberries, licorice, anise, and exotic spices. These dark-fruit aromas are complemented by a subtle earthy character that gives the wine additional depth.
On the palate, this is a full-bodied, layered, and silky Primitivo with generous dark fruit balanced by delicate acidity and velvety-soft tannins. Pronounced flavors of dark cherry and blackberry mingle with chocolate, tobacco, licorice, and warm exotic spice. Despite its richness, the wine maintains enough acidity to keep the palate fresh and prevent the ripe fruit from becoming heavy. The finish is long, persistent, and pleasantly warming, leaving lingering notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice.
​
The grapes are grown in the Salento area of southern Puglia, where the vines are planted in a mixture of limestone and clay soils. Aromea is a private-label project created by Traditional Wine Innovations, with the wines produced at Cantine Paolo Leo. The Primitivo is aged for four months in second-passage American and French barriques, allowing the oak to add subtle layers of vanilla, spice, and toast while preserving the naturally rich fruit of the grape.
​
This is a classic example of the generous, warm-climate character associated with Puglian Primitivo: dark-fruited, powerful, smooth, and spice-driven without being dominated by aggressive tannins.
​​​​
Food Pairing- ​
​​This Primitivo pairs best with rich, slow-cooked meats, grilled beef, lamb, and hearty Mediterranean dishes. Braised short ribs, lamb shank, pepper-crusted steak, or a slow-cooked beef ragu are excellent choices, as the wine's ripe fruit and velvety tannins complement the richness of the meat. It also works beautifully with Italian dishes such as lasagna, baked ziti, sausage and peppers, or pasta with a rich tomato and meat sauce. For something different, pair it with Middle Eastern dishes featuring grilled lamb, warm spices, roasted eggplant, or braised meats. The wine's dark-fruit character also makes it surprisingly good with dishes containing dried figs, dates, or a touch of sweetness.
​
Cheese-
It pairs best with aged, firm, and strongly flavored cheeses that can stand up to its full body and dark fruit. Aged Manchego is an especially good pairing, with its firm texture, nutty character, and concentrated savory flavor complementing the Primitivo's chocolate and spice notes. Aged Parmesan, Pecorino, aged Asiago, and mature provolone are also excellent choices. For an adventurous pairing, try aged Manchego with fig chutney or dried figs—the combination of salty, nutty cheese and concentrated fruit echoes the wine's blackberry, dark cherry, chocolate, and spice character.
