FRIDAY'S TASTING:

2008 SELBACH KABINETT, MOSEL RIESLING
$15.99 a bottle, $163.10 for a case, or $13.59 a bottle as part of a mixed case
 

This Kabinett comes from 15 kilometres around Zeltingen. A lot of it is Zeltingen, Bernkastel-Kues and Kinheim fruit, some Erden, some Brauneberg. This wine is quite simply delightful; it's a classy riesling, clean with nicely balanced fruit, the kind of wine people like: charming, long, and way better than its price.
2009 LA POSTA COCINA
BLANCO DE BLANCOS
$17.99 a bottle, $183.50 for a case, or $15.29 a bottle as part of a mixed case

This unique white blend is a sensory revelation. We wondered what it would be like to blend grapes from three high-elevation vineyards from across Argentina from three talented growers, and we were happily surprised. This baby is bright, fresh, and crisp with ripe white peach and floral notes in the nose. Honeydew rind, ripe apple and a hint of crisp lime explode on the palate, quickly followed by a complex and balanced finish. For food partners, we're still pondering what food this wouldn't go with, but for sure it's a wine to keep in the fridge for all occasions between Easter and Halloween.
2007 GIGUIERE MATCHBOOK
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
$15.99 a bottle, $163.10 for a case, or $13.59 a bottle as part of a mixed case

Matchbook Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied wine with a beautiful, ruby red color. Deep rich black fruit flavors with boysenberry, leather and herbal notes. Hints of cedar and cigar box add to the complexity. The full flavors stick around for a long and lingering finish.

.
 
For Saturday, We will be tasting:

2008 CASA SILVA
RESERVA CARMENERE
$13.99 a bottle, $142.70 for a case, or $11.89 a bottle as part of a mixed case.

2008 DOMAINE FOURNIER SAUVIGNON BLANC
$14.99 a bottle, $152.90 for a case, or $12.74 a bottle as part of a mixed case.


We'll open the wines for Friday's tasting around 4:00, and Saturday around noon. We look forward to seeing you.

MAY WINES OF THE MONTH


2009 PASQUALE PELISSERO CROSÉ ROSATO
$19.99 a bottle, $203.90 for a case, or $16.99 a bottle as part of a mixed case

All Nebbiolo from Barbaresco vineyards, this rose pink Rosato opens with fresh strawberry on the nose, to sheer elegance on the palate, featuring
a lingering grassy note reminiscent
of great Sauvignon Blanc. Mineral, clean finish. Made exclusively in stainless-steel, this wine is made from
a first, pre-harvest selection of Nebbiolo bunches from their famed San Giuliano vineyard. Structured and intense, this pairs great with fish dishes.



ASSISI GRECHETTO
SPORTOLETTI 2008

$17.99 a bottle, $183.50 for a case, or $15.30 a bottle as part of a mixed case

This wine is made from grapes grown in mineral-rich soils, harvested at 300 meters above sea level, and where cool nights and warm sunny days ensure balance and freshness. This crisp white with its deep golden hue is left to macerate on its skins for 6 hours allowing for maximum concentration. It features notes of honey, pear, and white blossoms.
Summer nights in a bottle!


MASCARELLO DOLCETTO
D' ALBA BRICCO 2007
$22.99 a bottle, $234.50 for a case, or $19.54 a bottle as part of a mixed case


The 2007 Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco is
a very pretty wine laced with perfumed red fruit. Lots of intensity up front, the Bricco remains a very traditional style of Dolcetto. The sheer vibrancy of the fruit of this vintage helps balance some of the more rustic elements that are present. This is a very beautiful vintage for the Bricco. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2013.


2004 RENDOLA
BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO
$39.99 a bottle, $407.89 for a case, or $33.99 a bottle as part of a mixed case

Shows floral and plum aromas with freshly cut wood. Full-bodied, bright cherry and plum character on the palate, with a hint of vanilla. Silky and delicious. Best after 2010.
