| Organic and Biodynamic Wines |
 Toasting to our display of Benziger wines is Andrea, accompanied by Erinn Benziger, Danette and Gordon, our wine manager. We were thrilled to have Erinn, daughter of founder and owner of the Benzinger wineries, provide us with a private tasting of Benziger wines. She shared with us her personal account of the Benziger's family commitment and passion for "crafting quality wines that authentically express the individual vineyards from which they are made, with integrity and an enduring respect for the land." The result is Sonoma wine with a 'strong sense of place that satisfies the palate and nourishes the soul.' Our extensive inventory of Benziger wines includes their Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Syrah. Visit Benziger's website and learn more directly from Mike Benziger about their new 'certified-sustainable' program and his Biodynamic® Estate vineyard.

| A toast to MOM.. |
 With Mother's Day sneaking up on us, why not plan ahead and treat your Mom or that special lady in your life to a Sunday brunch complemented by Canella's authentic Italian wine cocktails. Canella produces a Prosecco Bellini, a cocktail comprised of their award winning Prosecco, rare white peaches and raspberries. Their Blood Orange Mimosa, is a blend of Canella's Prosecco with the juice and pulp of crimson fleshed Sicilian blood oranges. Both are light, fruity and refreshing as well as low in alcohol content and calorie count. |
