October 2014 Specials

10% off 6-11 bottles, 15% off 1-2 cases, 20% off 3 or more cases

 

2013 Franciscan Equilibrium White Blend- Napa Valley, California

72% Sauvignon Blanc, 17% Chardonnay, 11% Muscat, the name Equilibrium means “to come together in a state of harmonious balance.” With this in mind, the winemakers crafted a unique expression of artisan blending. Crisp mouth-feel showing bright floral notes along with refreshing pear and white peach flavors, Equilibrium is an ensemble of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Muscat. The perception of sweetness enables it to pair beautifully with a range of foods, from spicy barbeque, Thai and other Asian cuisines.

Price: $18.99

 

2013 Demarie Langhe Arneis- Piedmont, Italy

100% Arneis- This everyday white table wine shows a pale straw yellow luster with a hint of green high-lights. A perfume of ripe fruit and abundant floral on the nose recall flavors of peach, apricot, wild broom, and chamomile. Pleasantly dry on the palate with light white fruits and a nutty dried almond finish.

Price: $17.99

 

2011 Demarie Nebbiolo de Alba- Piedmont, Italy

100% Nebbiolo- Delicate, but intense on the nose, this wine opens up slowly to release delightful impressions of wild violet and ripe Morello cherry. Mellow tones of cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry jam on the palate, with a bit of anise on the finish.

Price: $26.49

 

2012 SAVED Red Blend-Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara County, Dry Creek- California

27% Merlot, 19% Malbec, 17% Syrah, 13% Zinfandel, 7% Sauzao, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Petite Sirah

SAVED Red Wine is a robust, powerful wine with a big personality and a generous finish. It is big, bold and rich, with pedigree sourcing from California’s finest regions. An eclectic blend of grapes deliver rich color and full-bodied flavors: red currant, black cherry and black olive.

2013 Ornella Molon Merlot- Venezia, Italy

The Ornella Molon is very complex, showing both black plum and blackberry layered in with wonderful cherry and raspberry components. The finish is long and elegant with enchanting exotic spice. The Ornella Molon is an extremely serious bottle of wine.

Price: $18.00

 

2011 Chaman Red Blend- Mendoza, Argentina

20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 55% Petit Verdot. It has an attractive bouquet of blackberry, cassis, violets and a touch of cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slight tannins. There is a core of earthy black fruit laced with licorice, leading to a well-defined, very composed, peppery finish with a hint of dark chocolate. It finishes with tongue-dusting but suave tannins and very good building length.

Price: $23.00

See you on Saturday
All of the very best, Jim & Lynda
