Region: Loire Valley
Winery: Domaine de Chevilly

Great everyday white. Classic sauvignon blanc aromas and flavors of grass and citrus, but without going over the top. Good acidity makes it pair very well with seafood, white meats and spring green salad.

Region: Napa Valley, CA
Winery: Meadowcroft Wines
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Vintage:2009
 
Fermented and aged in an oak neutral process that preservesin the fresh berry quality of the Pinot Noir. The focus of aromatics is of Strawberries and cherries, with a forest duff background. The flavors follow, and the finish is bright and smooth tannins. Enjoy as an aperitif, with seafood, pasta, or poultry.


Monterri
 
Valdellero (Godello)
Region: Monterrei
Winery: Adega Valderello
Grapes: Godello

Lemon yellow wine with touches of green. Brilliant! The nose is  reminiscent of green apple, pear, apricot and ripe stone fruit. The palate is dry, easy and alive.
 

 
El Primavera
Agricola Labastida El Primavera 2008
Region: Rioja
Winery: Agricola Labastida
Grapes: 100% Tempranillo
Vintage: 2008
   
Cherry color with a violet rim representing its youthfulness. Very   intense nose  with notes of  red  berries (redcurrants), eucalyptus and liquorice. On the palate it is a very balanced wine,  very smooth leaving a pleasant freshness due to its acidity. Fruity finish with smoked notes.


Octavia
 
Octavia Cabernet Sauvignon 2006  
Region: California
Winery: Octavia Wines
Grapes: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2006
 
Great aromas of strawberries and dried cherries. We've given this  Cab a limited oak regime of French and American Oak. By not pushing to much oak on the wine, we allow the fruit to shine through. This wine is perfect for many of your favorite hearty meals or shared with friends on its own.
