Two wines from SuperValu this week. Both are on promotion until July 3rd. If you are firing up the barbecue, these wines are worth trying out. The Duo des Mers combines the fresh aromatics of sauvignon blanc with the richness of viognier. The Château Pey La Tour is a full-bodied red wine from Bordeaux.
