In the past, the Sierra Foothills was known for Zinfandel wines but today you are more likely to find elegant grapes whose ancestral homes include France’s Rhone Valley or Bordeaux region. Our discount wine of the week features two such varietals, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Often used for blending, these wines are far better on their own. Both wines are offered by Crystal Basin Cellars and are discounted 33% off retail price. Discounted prices can be purchased here.
