Staff Picks

Our January staff pick was chosen by Amy, our Marketing Director for the past 3 years. Amy has grown to love red wines, especially in the dead of winter and when she decided to try Felino Malbec without knowing anything else about it, she was pleasantly surprised. Rated 93 points by James Suckling and 90+ points by Wine Advocate, this deep red is balanced and harmonious with smooth tannins. A great choice to splurge on. “Violet red with black tones. An attractive nose with aromas of fresh black fruits and…

Our October staff pick was chosen by Ken, an employee at Bremer’s for over 6 years. Ken has always really enjoyed the wines Ménage à Trois Winery releases, from the original red blend to Silk to Decadence Cabernet, he loves them all. So when the new Lavish Merlot hit our racks he just had to try it and it was no exception. With flavors of “rich blueberries and juicy black plums” this full-bodied Merlot is perfect for chilly fall nights and is nothing short of… lavish. “Lavish is a luxurious,…

Our September staff pick was chosen by Rhonda, an employee at Bremer’s for 15 years. Rhonda loves warmer weather, so she loves to enjoy every last bit of it she can before Fall arrives. And her pick this month, which is a white blend of Grenache Blanc, Chardonnay and Marsanne is the perfect choice to enjoy when the sun is out (hopefully), but there is a slight chill in the air. Rhonda especially loves this wine alongside seafood dishes like Pasta with Scallops or chicken dishes like Chicken Francaise. “Côté…

Los Vascos Sauvignon Blanc – chosen by Tony longtime employee at Bremer’s Wine and Liquor with over 30 years of experience in the wine and liquor industry. When thinking about what wine will be perfect through the end of summer, Tony went straight for the Los Vascos Sauvignon Blanc. Fresh, crisp, clean and full-bodied, it will go great with all of your summertime favorites… Tony plans on pairing it with anything Italian, because after all, sometimes the best way to pair wine is to drink it alongside your favorite food!…

Hand Work Red Blend – chosen by Taylor Bremer, a member of the fifth generation of Bremers to work at the store. As new products come in we all have to check them out and as soon as Taylor saw the label artwork for Handwork Red Blend he had to try it, especially when he saw it was only $9.99! And it did not disappoint… with flavors of juicy red cherry and strawberry plus a mouth-watering acidity, this Spanish red is a no brainer. Make sure to pick up your…

June’s staff pick was chosen by Merritt Bremer IV, a member of the fifth generation of Bremers to work at the store. When asked to chose a wine for a staff pick for June, Merritt immediately thought of Chardonnay. And the Matchbook Chardonnay was a no brainer. Perfect for warm spring days that are just starting to turn into summer as well as cool nights by the first fire of the year. Matchbook Chardonnay is filled with tropical aromas and toasty flavors and is just the right choice for our…

This month’s staff pick has been chosen by Taylor, a member of the fifth generation of Bremers to work at the store. Like so many of us, Taylor often chooses a bottle of wine by the label artwork and once he saw the illustration on Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc, he knew he needed to give it a try. (The 92 point rating from Wine Enthusiast certainly didn’t hurt either). On his first sip, he knew he had made a good decision… with flavors of cantaloupe and crushed sweet meadow grass and…

This month, our staff pick has been chosen by Tim, fourth generation co-owner of Bremer’s Wine and Liquor. A new addition to the racks in our store, Tim decided to bring Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel to Easter dinner this year and it was a big hit all around! Soft and silky, with concentrated berry flavors and hints of black pepper, smoke, and brick, it’s no wonder everyone thought this wine was delicious. And, while it’s a full-bodied wine, this Zinfandel manages to drink light, making it a perfect choice for…

INTRO This month’s staff pick has been chosen by Eric, fourth generation co-owner of Bremer’s Wine and Liquor. While the weather might not seem like it, spring is on its way and this month, Eric decided to pick a wine that is perfect for the transition into (somewhat) warmer weather. Made with 100% Chardonnay grapes, this white is refreshing, but will still stand up to the comfort food the snow has you craving. “This Beaujolais Blanc is a wine for those in search of immediate pleasure. Fragrant white flowers, full…

Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Syrah-Shiraz, chosen by Amy, Bremer’s Wine and Liquor’s Marketing Director. A huge fan of all wines by Coppola (especially the Cabernet), Amy was very excited to give their Diamond Collection Syrah-Shiraz a try. Not only is the label beautiful, the wine is delicious! Complex flavors of blackberry, vanilla and bittersweet chocolate along with soft tannins make every sip interesting. It’s the perfect wine to cuddle up with during this never-ending winter. “Intense plum and clove aromas are the fragrant welcome from our Green Label Syrah-Shiraz.…
