Regaleali Le Rose

Named for the thousands of roses that thrive on the Regaleali estate in Sicily.  This elegant wine is made from Nerello Moscalese.  It offers an intriguing yet delicate bouquet of cherry, raspberry, blackberry and mulberry.  It has rich, persistent yet refreshing acidity to the mouth feel.

 

La Provenquiere Chardonnay

This is a wonderful, light and fruity chardonnay.  No heavy oak to overpower food choices.  The nose is very fruit forward with lots of juicy apple.  It has a crisp, light, pear, apple, fruit-salad kind of flavor that sits happily in the mouth.  This delightful tangy-fruity chardonnay is simple, but appealingly fresh, juicy and non-oaky.

 

Ten Mile White

This delightful blend of three white varieties (Chardonnay, Viognier and Chenin Blanc) is a bright tropical fruit romp, with touches of flower blossoms and great acidity.  This wine was aged in stainless steel, no oak flavor here, just pure varietals blend.    

 

GV Cellars Silhouette

American Rhone-style wines are made from the same grapes that have flourished for centuries in France's Rhone River Valley, and their growing popularity in the United States speaks to their versatility with food, wide range of rich flavors, and to the skills of American winemakers. This is a Rhone Style wine with a beautiful soft elegance.  On the palate one you find a soft taste vanilla and blackberry with undertones of smoke and allspice.  This wine is drinking wonderfully right now. 

 

Oxford Landing GSM

Oxford Landing Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre 2004 is a deep plum in color

with hints of magenta. The nose shows bright fruit aromas of fragrant raspberries and plums, a hint of white pepper, and a dash of nutmeg and allspice. The palate is generous and fruit driven with layers of cherries, red berries and spice from the Grenache. Fuller plum and dark fruit flavors from the Shiraz provide flesh and weight in the mid palate with the fine, soft tannins providing structure and a slightly savory finish.

 
Friday Wine Tasting

Happy Camper Chardonnay

Crisp apple and pear with fresh fruit aromas combine after a desert rainstorm. A perfect wine for sautéed sea bass or roast chicken with creamy risotto. Clearings and wide open spaces await! Happy Camper Chardonnay.

 

Happy Camper Merlot

Flavors of blackberry, plum and spice with supple tannins smooth the way for grilled pork tenderloin, smoked salmon, pastas and pizzas. Happy Camper Merlot  is the perfect wine to share with friends in the dinning room or a relaxing around a camp fire under the stars.

 

Happy Camper Cabernet

Brimming with berry, underscored by earth and spice. Happy camper Cabernet Sauvignon is your perfect companion to roasts, hearty grills or full- flavored cheeses. Taste the adventure and live large! Happy Camper Cabernet Sauvignon.

 

Cartlidge & Browne Chardonnay

The tasty 2006 Chardonnay offers orange blossom, lemon oil, and tropical fruit

notes, medium body, crisp acidity, and fine purity, as well as freshness.  There is

no evidence of oak in this lovely wine.  

 

 

2005 Cartlidge & Browne Rabid Red

The dark ruby-hued 2005 Rabid Red (a blend of cabernet sauvignon and petite syrah, with small amounts of merlot and syrah) offers an attractive bouquet of earthy red and black fruits and spice.  Medium bodied, with excellent texture, good purity, and a decent finish, it should be drunk over the next one to two years.

 

We look forward to seeing you this week!
