Time To Wine...
A few gems...
 Grgich Hills Fume Blanc 07
This 100% Sauvignon Blanc was made from grapes that were certified organic and Biodynamic at their cool American Canyon and Carneros vineyards, not far from the San Francisco Bay. Complex and rich, this wine is packed with layers of tropical aromas including white peaches, grapefruit and lemon oil. With its crisp, refreshing texture, hint of mineral and long finish, this versatile, flavorful white wine is a great companion to grilled shrimp, lemon risotto or a refreshing salad. Only $32.95 and no longer available in most places
The 2008 Borsao is a blend of 80% Garnacha and 20% Tempranillo. Purple-colored with an expressive aromatic array of black cherry and blackberry, this well-balanced, lengthy effort is another terrific value from Bodegas Borsao. 13.95 but if you mention this article, only 11.95!!
Hanna Chardonnay
The color is of brilliant golden straw. Succulent balanced acidity apple, pear and creamy oak flavors with aromas of ripe apple, sweet baked almond and a hint of pineapple. A great wine and a super great price... this was recommended by one of you!! Mahalo, it's YUMMY!! Come in and grab a few bottles today!
Kilikanoon Killerman's Run
The 2007 Killerman's Run Shiraz shows a nose of ripe, bold Shiraz fruits and rich mocha notes supported by the French and American oak. A sweet mid palate of plums and blackberries, soft ripe, tannins and depth of character create a wine with both power and finesse that showcases the appeal of Australian Shiraz - richly fruit driven, balanced and powerful. $20.95
Benchmark Shiraz
The 2008 Benchmark Shiraz is deep red with vibrant,
youthful purple hues. A complex nose with soft plum fruit
aromas and a touch of sweet vanilla. The palate is bursting
with powerful berry fruit flavours, raspberries, black currant
and adding to the complexity subtle peppered spice. A generous palate with well balanced tannins and a long
satisfying finish. This delicious Shiraz is ideal for every day
drinking and is an excellent companion to roasted meats,
lamb curry or hearty Italian dishes.

Beer, Beer, Beer...
And it's cold too!!!
Before we get into the highlighted beer of this newsletter, just to let you know... the Sierra 30th Anniversary is going fast, fast, fast...might as well pick up a case and store it...we did!
That holds true also for the limited Sierra Nevada Celebration Cases, and all that Guinness that is STILL on Sale!!
Gordon Biersch Brewers Collection
This awesome variety pack offers you beer lovers a great opportunity to not only save money, but also a chance to expand your beer horizons!! Here's a breakdown of what's in this magnificent 12-pack...
WinterBock is a strong, dark beer that was used by
eleventh-century Bavarian monks to help sustain themselves during
winter fasts. These creamy bocks ensured that the monks would fast
frequently. Gordon Biersch WinterBock is a classic dark double bock
featuring 4 different types of malt: Munich malt, pilsner malt, dark
roasted caramel malt, and black malt. This is a big beer with a lot of
body. Alcohol: 7.5% abv, Bitterness: 26 IBU, Residual Sugar: 4.6%,
Maibock
translated from German means the bock beer of May. Gordon Biersch
Maibock achieves its rich malty flavor from dark roasted caramel malt,
and lots of it. Originally brewed in the 14th century in the town of
Einbeck, Germany, it quickly became a favorite style in Bavaria. One
of the Bavarian brewers actually enticed a brewer from the North to
move to Bavaria where the style was popularized. Maibock is a great
beer to accompany robust flavors. The rich flavor from the
dark-roasted caramel malt complements the moderate level of bitterness
to create a perfect balance.
Alcohol volume 7.3%, bitterness 25 IBU, 3.5% Residual Sugar
Gordon
Biersch FestBier celebrates fall and the flavor profiles of beers
served at the modern day Oktoberfest. Originally, the Oktoberfest was
held in the middle of October. The brewers were motivated to increase
beer sales and moved the date to the last week of September through the
first week of October. At the same time, they created the modern day
Oktoberfest beer with a lighter body than Märzen with a more robust,
hoppy flavor. The maltiness is created via a combination of
dark-roasted Munich malt and pilsner malt. The hoppy aroma is achieved
via the imported Hallertau and Tettnang aroma hops. Alcohol volume 5.6%; bitterness 24 IBU. Residual Sugar: 2.7%
SommerBrau
is a kölsch style beer. Kölsch literally means the beer of Cologne,
Germany. This beer style is a light bodied beer fermented using a
special top fermenting yeast strain, which we import specially from
Germany, brewing it true to style. It is brewed with 80% pale-malted
barley and 20% malted wheat. The pinpoint bitterness of the German
Tettnang hops and crisp finish make this beer perfect for summertime
enjoyment.
Alcohol volume 4.8%; bitterness 25 IBU, residual sugar 1.7%
