What’s New at FranksWine

🍷❄️ CHILLABLE REDS… the hottest cool trend in wine. Or are they? 🤔

Funny thing… 40 years ago we were already selling chilled reds here at FranksWine on North Union Street. Back then they came in bottles named Lancers, Mateus, and Riunite. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that red wine doesn’t always have to be served at room temperature.

Fast forward to today, and “Chillable Reds” are everywhere. Light-bodied Zwiegelt, Gamay, Frappato, Schiava, Lambrusco, and a whole new generation of juicy, fresh reds are proving that a little time in the fridge can make a wine absolutely sing.🥶

Whether it’s a 90° humid 🌞Delaware weekend, a backyard barbecue, a trip to the shore🏖️, or a perfect 65° sunny 😎 afternoon on the patio, these wines hit the sweet spot between refreshing and flavorful.

So is it a trend? Absolutely.

Is it really anything new? Not at all.

Sometimes the wine world just spends 40 years rediscovering what Grandma was already drinking. 👵🏼

Stop by and check out our Chillable Reds section. 🧊We’ll help you find the perfect red to put on ice without making the wine snobs faint.🪭

🍷❄️ Cheers to drinking what tastes good, not what the rulebook says🐸

She’s beautiful… and so are her bubbles! 🥂✨

Happy 100th Birthday to Marilyn Monroe – a woman whose beauty, charm, wit, and timeless glamour continue to captivate the world a century later.🍾Marilyn was famously known for her love of Piper Heidsieck Champagne, once saying she started every morning with a glass of it. We 💯 recommend that breakfast routine🐸

So here’s to Marilyn…
To elegance.
To confidence.
To living life with a little sparkle.
And to Champagne that remains as beautiful as the woman who made it famous.

Cheers to 100 years of Marilyn Monroe. 🥂

DELDON Pinot Noir
This Willamette Pinot immediately hits with notes of fresh blueberry, cola, and baking spice. Vibrant but balanced on the palate, you will immediately notice a presence of candied fruit (notably Cherry) and sweet tobacco. A chef’s wine that will pair with many dishes but also great for solo endeavors.
