The Wines!!

Shloss Vollratz Riesling Rheingau, Germany $19.99

Vollratz Riesling wants to be drunk by the mouthful: Hearty and strong, and with a lively acidity, it is the perfect Riesling for a light meal. Lavish aromas of honeysuckle, peach and lemon abound in this vivacious, zippy Riesling. Dry in style, the palate is a bracing crush of white grapefruit and lime flavors that intensify through the long finish, accented by ripples of slate-like mineral.

 

Loveblock Pinot Gris, Marlborough, New Zealand $24.99 

Loveblock Pinot Gris is a pale golden with hints of green. The 2012 vintage is a dry style with floral aromas and a hint of ripe pineapple. The palate reveals poached pear and blood orange, and finishes with a touch of citrus, good texture and rich mouth feel.

 

Two Arrowsheads White, Paso Robles California $18.99

TWO ARROWHEADS is a luscious blend of Viognier and Roussanne from the calcareous soils of Paso Robles. Made with grapes grown in the warm California sun and cooled by mild breezes from the Pacific Ocean, TWO ARROWHEADS is fermented partially in oak and finished in stainless steel. This is a round and aromatic wine, offering a beautiful perfume of white peaches, guava, orange blossom, and nutmeg followed by flavors of passionfruit, melon.
 

Lyric Pinot Noir, California $24.99

Pure ruby in color, the 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.

 

Dry Creek Old Vine Zinfandel $34.99


93 Points - The Wine Enthusiast

During harvest, our old vine Zinfandel lots always show a distinct aroma and flavor profile. Once bottled, the perfumed nuances and dried spicy qualities shine through. At first swirl, cardamom andwhite pepper leap from the glass with spice being a central theme to the wine. The complexity of our Old Vine Zinfandel lies in the spicy notes that are unique to these historic properties. Refined and balanced, the wine integrates seamlessly on the palate offering a broad array of blackberry, black cherry, blueberry and toasty oak notes. The wine finishes with elegance and sophistication. This is thoughtful Zinfandel - the kind of wine that requires some good jazz and a fantastic book for a long evening of enjoyment

 "Aromas of blueberries, blackberries and slate follow through to a full body, ultra-fine tannins and a focused and pure finish"

Reflective of the winery’s ability to combine power with elegance, the 2013 vintage of The Investor is rich in fresh fruit but also captivating for its notes of vanilla bean, rose and forest floor. It’s an instant pleaser with generous, concentrated flavors of blackberry, blueberry, plum, cherry, and fine-grained, soft tannins.
