Meiomi Pinot Noir, which won a Gold Medal in the 2016 Sommelier Challenge at the International Wine and Spirits Competition, features flavors of jammy fruit mingled with vanilla, mocha and toasty oak notes.

Finally, February 1 through 19, Ruby Tuesday will be offering a free $15 bonus card for every $50 in Ruby Tuesday gift cards purchased in-store (terms and restrictions apply).
