whites
Cantina Colli Euganei | Pinot Grigio | Veneto, Italy
pure fruit; soft, fresh aromas and bright flavors that make for a pleasant, everyday wine – herbacious with hints of lemon peel, fresh pear and green apple
Elmstone | Sauvignon Blanc | Marlborough, New Zealand
an inviting Sauvignon Blanc bursting with vibrant gooseberry aromas, bright herbacious freshness and all the exuberant fruit flavor you could want for a warm day or to brighten up those cooler days
Domaine Duffour | blend | Gascony, France
plain and simple – one of the top-selling, most-loved wines we have ever brought in! a unique blend that offers amazing citrus and tropical fruit aromas and flavors with the perfect balance and crispness
Xavier Monnot 1er Cru “Les Duresses” | Chardonnay | Monthelie, France
one of the best Chardonnays I have had all year!! very racy, with aromas of apples, pear and citrus fruit framed by just a touch of new oak, medium-bodied with great acid and a mouthwatering finish
Fess Parker “Epiphany” | Grenache Blanc | Sta. Barbara Cty, CA
full-bodied with aromas of jasmine, white melon, candied ginger and white peach, rich and refreshing with flavors nectarine, Meyer lemon and key lime, finishing bright with fresh acidity and minerality
Gebr. Ludwig “Trocken” | Riesling | Mosel, Germany
aromas of orange blossom, lime and white grapefruit, followed by mouth-watering flavors of lime and mandarin orange, finishing with mineral and citrus zest, well-balanced sweetness and acid
Roses
Alain Jaume “Bellissime” | Grenache/Cinsault | Cotes du Rhone, France
made from mostly Grenache and Cinsault with a bit of Syrah, this wine has a intense core of rich, red-cherry fruit around firm minerality and a remarkably long finish
Unico Zelo “Esoterico” | Unique blend | Australia
made from white grapes, but not quite white, yet not exactly a rose, it’s called “Amber wine”; one of my favorite and fun wines from all of last year; apricot, overripe peach, tannic and bright acid – SO FUN!
Sparkling
Freixenet | Cava Brut | Spain
loads of flavor here with this super clean and fresh Cava – which goes through the same method as Champagne, so it has tons of rich flavor but with the crispness to make it a pleasant everyday drinker
Francois Montand | Blancs de Blanc | France
Champagne quality without the price; fresh bread, apple and lemon
Saracco | Moscato d’Asti | Italy
fragrant, foaming sparkler with rich scents of yellow stone fruit and herbs, juicy apricot and ripe yellow peach on the palate
Chandon | “Brut Rose” | California
pink/amber in color with a lively and intense red fruit-driven aroma and palate
reds
wines listed from lightest to fullest-bodied
Tornatore | Nerello Mascallese | Mt Etna, Sicily, Italy
pretty floral and mineral notes complement sour red cherry, with flinty herbs and spicy blue berry aromas and flavors, bright and juicy with a ligher body that goes down so easy yet with a long finish
Tassajara | Pinot Noir | Monterey, CA
a bigger Pinot with baked black cherry and plum, baking spice with flavors of smoke, berry, clove, finishing with cooked strawberry, plum, herbs and cracked pepper
J.P. Ramos “Vila Santa” | blend | Alentejo, Portugal
fruity and fresh with bright red fruit notes, vibrant acidity and soft tannins; a no-brainer as a BBQ/cook-out wine or just for game night
Notre Dame des Pallieres | Grenache/Syrah | Rasteau, France
so much going on in this Grenache blend with aromas of violets and spicy earth, big and bold black fruits, minerality, black pepper and baking spices with strong tannins

medium -to full-bodied with aromas of red berries with rich, cooked red fruits and toasty vanilla on the palate opening to a lush, long-lasting finish
