sparkling

A soft richness; orange rind, pineapple. From SW France, made of the varietal Mauzac.

Light, crisp, citrusy, floral. Gruet’s reputation is skyrocketing and it’s easy to see why.
white

Breuer’s organic wines offer nuanced, subtle flavor complexities, and this wine is no different; aging ideally. Clean, with notes of lime and petrol.

Minerally and smoky with a touch of apricot sweetness.

This fresh and fragrant Moscatel is brimming with aromas of apples, mandarin orange and flowers. The palate expresses honey, baking spices and tropical fruits. Dry finish.
Terenzuola “Montesagna” Vermentino, Colli di Luni, Italy 2005
Made from Vermentino, one of Italy’s noble white varietals, this example is fleshy and herbaceous, with a note of pineapple on the finish. Tiny production.

This treat from the southern region of Campania showcases lemon and floral notes.
Crisp, summery and just a touch of food-friendly herbaceousness.
Haggipavlu Moschofilero, Mantinia, Greece 2005
Mantinia is a cool area in the Peloponnesian Islands of southern Greece. A long ripening season results in bright acidity and a good sense of minerality. The Moschofilero grape is indigenous to Mantinia.
Lazy River Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2009
Pale gold with aromas of apricot, citrus and pear ; this crisp, clean wine shows well-
defined flavors of grapefruit and green apple. A solid structure and impressive balance
lead to a long chalky finish.
Treana “Mer Soleil Vineyard” Viognier-Marsanne, Central Coast, California 2007
A great food wine. Citrus and hints of jasmine on the nose are followed by a palate of
Stone fruits. Lush mouth-feel with a clansing acidity on the finish.
rose
Grande Cassagne, Costieres de Nimes, France 2008
This small estate sits on the western edge of the Rhone and produces rich and juicy rose made by the fifth generation of the Darde family. Wonderfully fresh and an excellent alternative to white wine with seafood.

fruity wine from modernist winemaker Laely Heron.

Bright entry leads into a lush mid-palate and smoky, lasting finish. Firm tannins.
Bonaccorsi “Val Cerasa,” Etna Rosso, Italy 2000
Made from a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Carricante grapes grown in the foothills of Mount Etna, this wine is smoky and earthy on entry, then moves into a pleasant dark fruit flavor on the very clean finish. A mature wine that is drinking wonderfully right now.
Makor Grenache, Santa Barbara County, California 2009
This Grenache shows off young with a bright acidity. Spices are right out in front, but balanced by ripe fruit notes.
Hahn Merlot, Napa Valley, California 2007
Ruby fruited with hints of olive and herb. Full-flavored and a lengthy finish.
