Featuring These Specially Selected Wines

White Wines
2004 Grgich Hills Fume Blanc
Floral and citrus bouquet, exuberant ripe pink grapefruit, spice, and the brisk acidity that makes this wine such a good food partner on a warm summer day. An amazing concentration of flavors - mango, passion fruit, and a hit of guava.
Suggested Retail - $45-$50

2005 Ferrari Carano Chardonnay 2005
Fruit from four distinctly different growing regions in Sonoma County was selected by the winemaking team for this wine. This Chardonnay is a fruit-focused offering with tropical overtones of papaya andd mango supplemented by toasty almond flavors. It is a wonderfully complex wine with impressive balance an length.
Suggested Retail - $40-$45

2005 Kathryn Kennedy Sauvignon Blanc
The color is pure light straw, and the aromas are of white grapefruit, lilac and lemongrass. Flavors are lively green apple, lemongrass, mandarin lime, and gooseberry: and its slightly saline minerality adds impeccable elegance to the character. With its refreshingly tart grapefruit and clementine finish, swirled with a dollop of smoke, this wine would please even the most French of Pouilly Fumé or Sancerre lovers. It is also very akin to the finer New Zealand examples of this varietal: fresh, lively and juicy with acidity. It asks politely for a plate of oysters, a rock-shrimp, artichoke and caper cocktail, or perhaps a calamari salad with plenty of picholine olives, flat-leafed parsley and fresh lemon.
Suggested Retail - $25-$30

Red Wines
2006 Bouchaine Carneros Pinot Noir
Redolant of cherries and berries with a touch of earthiness and orange peel. Pairs well with anything smoked or grilled. Try it with blackened salmon, braised pork tenderloin, or mushrook risotto accented with truffle oil.
Suggested Retail - $60-$65

2005 Grgich Hills Zinfandel
Grgich Hills ages their Zinfandel in large oak casks so the flavors are well integrated but not overwhelmed by oak. The result is an irresistible mix of strawberries and raspberries with a hint of allspice that keeps evolving as the wine sits in the glass. Nicely balanced between acidity and alcohol, this medium-bodied Zinfandel’s forward fruit and soft tannins makes it a great match with grilled meats, pizza and pastas with tomato sauce.
Suggested Retail - $40-$45

2003 Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon
This Cabernet Sauvignon is rich with the flavors of ripe dark fruits and blueberries, surrounded by subtle hints of vanilla bean. The Cabernet is will structured with tannins that are soft and supple. This wine is perfectly suited for a rib eye or T-bone steak cooked to perfection and is also an excellent match with grilled scallops.
Suggested Retail - $40-$45
