We are running a bit late this week - barely enough time to check in all of the new wine that is arriving everyday. And there are a lot of interesting new items and first time discoveries that will take their place on our shelves in the next couple of weeks.
The important thing to remember is that this Friday night from 5-8 PM, we will he hosting our weekly tasting as usual.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner you should be considering things that are just right for family gatherings of all kinds.
"Sisters Forever" from Donati Vineyards is one that comes to mind.
More than a clever label - This is a very affordable chardonnay that is completely oak free. A great gift bottle - try it on Friday night.

SISTERS FOREVER
Donati 'Sorelle Per Sempre' Chardonnay, Central Coast, California
An un-oaked Chardonnay. By not using oak barrels the winery really allows the true flavors of Chardonnay to stand out. Look for creamy lemon meringue, with hints of grapefruit zest and round luxurious stone fruit like peaches and apricots. Makes a great party wine because it doesn't need to be paired with food, but can be delicious if you do!
"Fermented in 100% stainless steel. This wine offers tropical and citrus aromas, having a soft creamy mid palate and a delectable crisp finish. It is a pleasure to share this wine with you in the hope that you can enjoy it with the sister, family or friends in your life."
Winemaker.

Villa Jolanda
Villa Jolanda Prosecco is made from 100% Prosecco grapes grown in the hills north of Treviso. Grapes are hand-harvested, chilled in the vineyard, and given a low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit.
The wine features lovely aromas of white flowers, orchard fruits, and a touch of mineral. Lightly sparkling with very pretty, small, bubbles, the wine is full of flavor - peach, ripe apple, lemon zest, and a nice mineral streak. Fruity and crisp, the wine finishes with a touch of mineral and yellow apple. A fantastic wine to keep on hand for everyday celebrations or to stock up on for Holiday parties. One of the best values in sparkling wine we have ever offered.

DFW Claret
A real crowd pleaser. This is one of our most popular red blends. It features great aromas of dark ripe fruit and has a wonderfully long finish. GOLD MEDAL - 2014 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
Rated A best value by Wine Spectator - try it.

New Arrival
Old Pultney The NavagatorReleased in 2013 to coincide with their sponsoring of a yacht in the Clipper Round the World Race, Old Pulteney Navigator was created to reflect the distillery's rich maritime heritage. It is matured in ex American bourbon and ex Spanish Sherry casks and bottled at 46%

La Tur
From the great wine region of Piemonte comes La Tur: a dense, creamy blend of pasteurized cow, goat and sheep milk. Runny and oozing around the perimeter with a moist, cakey, palette-coating paste, its flavor is earthy and full, with a lingering lactic tang. The effect is like ice cream served from a warm scoop: decadent and melting from the outside in. An ideal regional pairing would be a sparkling Asti Spumante- effervescence will whisk away the richness while matching the mild acidity. We recommend you get back-up: La Tur is always the first to go at a party.
This is God's favorite cheese.
If you have not had it before please try it on Friday night.
