• Bonal Gentiane-Quina; $23.00: Bonal Gentiane-Quina, once nicknamed "ouvre l'appetit" (the key to the appetite), is a delicious aperitif wine that has been in production since 1865. It is made by infusing gentian root, herbs from the Grande Chartreuse mountains, and cinchona (quinine), in a Mistelle base, producing a wine that is known for its complexity. It is traditionally enjoyed neat, on ice with a twist, or in many classic mixed drinks.
• Cocchi Aperitivo Americano; $23.00:  This is a low-alcohol, wine-based aperitif that does what so few purported aperitif's seem to do: it enlivens your palate and your appetite. What a concept! This is the original Americano, produced without a break in the Piedmontese town of Asti since 1891 and made according to an entirely natural recipe, which includes white wine aromatized with many herbs and spices, and no artificial coloring, flavoring or additive of any kind. It is produced in limited quantities and matured for a year before being put on sale. Serve chilled in a tumbler or in an appropriate glass with a twist of orange peel and if desired, ice cubes. A splash of soda is indispensable to make the full aroma and perfume come out at their best!  
• 2011 MacPhail, Pinot Noir Rose', Sonoma Coast; $22.75:  Lush texture. Bright flavors with notes of strawberry , herbs and spice. Refreshing. This strawberry blonde has rose petal aromas and strawberry tastes. She's dry and crisp - and she's perfect chilled.   
• 2010 Cerreto I Vignaioli Santo Stefano, Moscato d'Asti, Piedmonte; $22.00: In the glass, a bright golden colour with a clear and persistent effervescence rising from the base of the glass. A gentle mousse collects on the surface. On swirling, the alcoholic content is seen to be limited, with the legs dissipating particularly quickly.  
• 2008 Schramsberg, Blanc de Noirs, Napa-Sonoma-Mendocino-Marino; $37.00: "The 2008 Blanc de Noirs has lively aromas of apricot and persimmon, which gracefully lead to nuances of honey and lemon. The fruitful nose is complemented by vanilla spice and candied almond. The palate offers crisp and tart flavors of orange and lime rind, supported by a touch of roasted coffee. The finish is long and lingering."

• NV Lanson, Brut, Black Label, Reims, 91 pts., Wine Spectator; $45.00:  The Lanson Black Label Champagne is an elegant, berry and citrus-infused bubbly, very fresh and lively, with an intensity that carries through to the long, long aftertaste.

• NV Armand de Brignac Brut, Ace of Spades, 94 pts., Wine & Spirits; $340.00: Armand de Brignac is marvelously complex and full-bodied, with a bouquet that is both fresh and lively. Its sumptuous, racy fruit character is perfectly integrated with the wine's subtle brioche accents. Its texture is deliciously creamy and the palate has great depth and impact with a long and silky finish. A superb and singular example of a Prestige Champagne.
• NV Armand de Brignac, Blanc de Blancs, Ace of Spades; $549.00: This is the highly sought after ultra-luxury cuvee made by Cattier. It is packaged in a gold bottle with a pewter card-spade with an A on it instead of a label, giving rise to the nick-name "Ace of Spades". It is a favorite of many musicians and has been popping up in celebrity circles and even in videos. Take your cue from Jay-Z and pop open a bottle of this bubbly, made exclusively from Premier and Grand Cru-rated villages in three different terroirs: Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. It is a blend of 40% Chardonnay, 40%, Pinot Noir, and 20% Pinot Meunier.  
• NV Armand de Brignac, Rose', Ace of Spades; $549.00: This Ultra-Chic, Ultra-Trendy Ace of Spades by Champagne Cattier is the 'New Cristal' according to Hip-Hop icon Jay-Z. The newly released Rose is a favorite of Victoria Beckham and is extremely limited. Armand de Brignac Rose is a beautiful salmon-hued wine produced in the traditional, old-world style, from grape to glass. Its bouquet is rich and pure with red fruits up front and delicately smoky grilled notes behind. The Champagne is fresh and full-bodied on the palate with aromas of fresh strawberries and blackcurrant and Armand de Brignac's characteristic long, silky finish.

Pay one penny for one bottle of Chateau Bonnet, Bordeaux Blanc or Rouge upon spending over $100.00 on any wine purchase. Normal price is $14.00 per bottle.  

The vineyards of Chateau Bonnet were planted during the 16th century, by the Reynier family, wealthy merchants from Libourne. In a mere 30 years, the landscape around the house was transformed, as vines replaced forest on the surrounding slopes. Château Bonnet lies to the North of the Entre-Deux-Mers, on the clay-chalk slopes of the commune of Grézillac, overlooking the Dordogne valley some 10km south of Saint Emilion. The estate dates back to the 17th century; when André Lurton took over in 1956, it comprised 30 hectares of vineyard, which he immediately undertook to renovate and develop.
