Wine of the Week
Ogio 2010 Primitivo, Italy $4.99. Best Buy. Primitivo is closely related to Zinfandel. This winner of our 2011 "Best Value Italian Wine" award has great food friendly flavor and structure at a "hard to believe it's true" price.

Beer of the Week
Stevens Point Brewery Point Horizon Wheat Ale. Summer is a great time to enjoy wheat ales, and this wonderfully balanced, year-round offering by Point would be a great compliment to any late summer barbecue or get together.

Spirit of the Week
Gera Premium Vodka $18.98/L. Best Buy. The winner of this year's vodka competition is an amazingly clean, round and smooth new vodka from Lithuania, and it's a Best Buy to boot.
