Special items have started to arrive for the holidays. The big names from California, the iconic names from Europe, the remarkable bargains from Spain & South America, the hard to find Pinot Noirs from Oregon - they are all on our shelves now. Here are just a few.
Anne Trimbach
"This is the perfect wine for turkey - I guarantee it."
13 generations of wine making in her family - if Anne Trimbach says this is perfect, who are we to argue?
Some of you got to meet Anne last Friday night at our weekly tasting. Live from Alsace France, she joined us on the big screen via Skype to talk a little about her wines.
The Trimbach Rieslings, Gewurztraminers, and Pinot Gris are in stock for the holiday and they are crowd pleasing additions to your holiday plans. There are samples open to help you decide the best choice for you. Wine Spectator: Top 100 - selection.

Drink Like Italian Royalty
Sant'Elena Pinot Grigio
Rated 92 PointsThe Wine Advocate:
"The most impressive wine I have tasted from Sant'Elena. This Pinot Grigio flows from the glass with layers of intense, perfumed fruit. Far from an easygoing Pinot Grigio, this shows serious stuffing in a rich, expansive style.
Roses and crushed flowers of all sorts linger on the textured finish."
This has got to be one of our most popular wines. People buy it by the case - this is a food friendly wine that should be included on every holiday table. If you are still looking for a wine that can stand up to food and the scrutiny of family and friends - this is one to have on your radar. Great value at 14.

Dutch Bill Creek Pinot Noir
2009 Russian River Valley
Robert Parker The Wine Advocate:
All of the fruit the Dutch Bill Creek Russian River Pinot came from the Heintz Ranch, which provides fruit for some of California's top Pinot producers, including Littorai, Kosta Brown, Williams-Selyem and Salinia, among others. Full of bright acidity and tangy cranberry fruit with a touch of anise. Easy to drink. A lot of wine for the money." - 23.
