The Wines!!

Lost Colony "The White Doe" $17.99

To pay tribute to the legend of The White Doe, we created an alluring white wine with a delicate, ethereal spirit. Envisioned as a blend of Chenin Blanc and Viognier, this wine is light and refreshing, beckoning you to have a second glass. Chenin Blanc provides a core of fruit and bright natural acidity to create a crisp, clean finish. A portion of this varietal was grown in Clarksburg, an area renowned for nurturing California’s best Chenin Blanc, where warm daytime temperatures give way to evenings chilled by the cool Delta breezes. Our Viognier adds silky weight to the palate along with classic white peach flavors and a beautifully lifted perfume. As we looked at white blends, this Chenin Blanc–Viognier combination stood out as bestowing both elegance and purity


Carabella Pinot Gris $18.99

 Chehalem Mountains AVA in Oregon’s Northern Willamette Valley.  
The long fall before harvest allowed development of citrus and floral aromas. Flavors of pear and apricot in the mid-palate. The 30% neutral barrel fermentation adds some weight. Finishes nicely with crisp acidity and a hint of minerality. 

 

Lyric by Etude Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara $24.99

Pure ruby in color, the 2013 Lyric by Etude captures the essence of Santa Barbara Pinot Noir in its opulence of true red fruit. Rich in ripe cherry, red raspberry and fresh strawberry, this youthful Pinot Noir drinks complex with hints of cinnamon, cardamom, sandalwood and cola. Offering an elegant structure, silky tannins and bright acidity, this Pinot Noir is captivating in its youth and makes a wonderful counterpart to a variety of dishes.


Lost Colony "The Lost Colony " Red Blend $17.99

THE LOST COLONY is a distinctive red blend of Syrah, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc sourced from Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County. It's inspired by a mystery: the disappearance of an English colony. In this colony, times were hard, and the people struggled to survive, so their governor set sail again in search of supplies. But when he finally returned, there was nobody there— the colony was lost without a trace. What had happened? Where there any survivors? Nobody really knows what transpired that night, but of this we are sure: nearby, in the land of the Croatan, a fair-haired baby girl was seen playing among the children, where she happily grew into a graceful young maid.        


Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon $21.99

Fragrant aromas of plum and black cherry find perfect balance with hints of vanilla, cola, cloves and cocoa dust. Right on the heels of all that aromatic intensity are interwoven layers of blackberry, boysenberry, black currant, dark plums and mocha. This wine is full bodied with supple tannins and a long, generous finish.
