Blue Highways: A Journey Into America
Hailed as a masterpiece of American travel writing, Blue Highways is an unforgettable journey along our nation's backroads. William Least Heat-Moon set out with little more than the need to put home behind him and a sense of curiosity about those little towns that get on the map -- if they get on at all -- only because some cartographer has a blank space to fill: Remote, Oregon; Simplicity, Virginia; New Freedom, Pennsylvania; New Hope, Tennessee; Why, Arizona; Whynot, Mississippi. His adventures, his discoveries, and his recollections of the extraordinary people he encountered along the way amount to a revelation of the true American experience.

Rosa dei Frati
Cellar for up to 4 years. Serve chilled. This gorgeous pale pink rosé is composed of classic indigenous varieties including Groppello, Marzemino, Sangiovese and Barbera grown close to the shores of Lake Garda. Fruit is sourced from two estate vineyards, 'I Frati' in Sirmione and 'La Tur' in Desenzano, which have top quality chalky, sand and lime soils. In the winery the must is macerated on the skins for a short period to extract colour before being vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks to lock in vibrancy and natural flavours from the grapes. The nose opens with enchanting notes of redcurrants, cherries and ripe strawberries while the first sip reveals a vibrant, refreshing acidity, light body and clean finish. The lively flavour profile makes this great to serve as an aperitif by the pool or in the garden. It also pairs really well with salmon, roasted chicken and fish dishes served in a creamy sauce. Ca dei Frati has been owned by the Dal Cero family for generations, although the property itself dates back to at least 1782. Over the past couple of decades the family have devoted themselves to expanding the estate and improving quality. They now work around 160 hectares of vines and are considered the top producer in all of Lugana.

Drink now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving. The Mendoza family have been winemakers for at least three generations, but it was only in 2008 that they decided to found a new winery in Argentina’s most prestigious wine region. This small boutique winery has a particularly strong track record for sustainable practices, including trying to recycle or reuse as much of its waste as possible and a state-of-the-art irrigation system that conserves water. La Mascota’s wines are crafted from the estate’s prime vineyards spread across the Mendoza wine region. This Malbec is made from hand-selected grapes that are grown in the high-altitude vineyards of the Uco Valley. After vinification the young wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, adding complexity and depth to its already rich flavor profile. Enticing notes of crushed wild berries, plums and cherries delight on the nose, along with gentle hints of smoke, vanilla and toasted spices. The first sip reveals a generous full body, velvety tannins, and a solid core of dark fruit which lingers on the tongue. Robust and powerful in nature, this Malbec is a great match for grilled red meats, hearty stews, or a generous charcuterie board.
