WWHHIITTEE WWIINNEESS Catena Chardonnay ,Mendoza, Argentina , 2012 (90 Wine Advocate) 10.50 The nose reveals scents of peach, smoky oak spice , tropical fruits & orange. On the palate, expect stone fruit, nutmeg, citrusy acidity and mineral on a medium bodied frame.

Bastianich Adriatico Sauvignon, Venezia-Giulia, Italy, 2012 10.50 This is a very tasty and interesting Sauvignon Blanc that manages to taste both quite varietal and intensely regional (Friuli-Venezia-Giulia to to be exact). Expect grapefruit-meyer lemon fruit, medium body, a hint of herb, anise and wet stones. It has lovely balance between richness and brightness. It is great with asparagus, seafood & vegetable soups.

Panizzi Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy, 2012 10.50 Vehr-nah-cha dee San Jim-mean-yano; now that is out of the way, Pinot Grigio fans can branch out with this lovely, indigenous Tuscan white from the beautiful Tuscan town known for its towers (which made a sort of medieval Manhattan). Expect a light straw color followed by restained aromas of green apple, fennel & almond. On the palate, this dry, medium bodied white expresses tart apple fruit, notes of lime, anise, a hint of bitter almond. It is not a fruit bomb by any means, but is quenching,

balanced & very food friendly.

Innocent Bystander Pink Moscato, Victoria, Australia, 2013 (90 Tanzer) 9.50 This is playfulness & frivolity dressed in pink and looking quite pretty indeed. Expect very light body (5.5% alcohol), easy but not cloying sweetness, gentle bubbles and red berry & orange fruit, along with classic Moscato floral notes and well judged acidity.

RREEDD WWIINNEESS Marcarini Barbera d Alba Ciabot Camerano, Piemonte, Italy, 2011 (91 Tanzer) 10.50

Flashy, fruit driven, rich and supple in texture, this terrific Barbera is a great introduction to both the varietal and to the wines of Piemonte. Expect aromatics that range from raspberries, blueberry fruit to leather & earthy minerality, On the fleshy, silky

palate you can expect more bright fruit complicated by leather, minerals and wild meaty note followed by juicy acidity on the finish.

Il Feuduccio Montepulciano dAbruzzo , Italy, 2008 (91 Wine Advocate) 13.00 Chianti fans will find much pleasure in this Montepulciano from the central Italian region of Abruzzi. Expect black and red cherry fruit, aromas and flavors of leather & earth, medium to full body dusty tannin, and juicy acidity. It will marry well with tomato based dishes, beef, pork, lamb & mushrooms.

Catena Cabernet Sauvignon , Mendoza, Argentina, 2011 (90 Wine Advocate) 11.00 With a deep ruby color ,nose of cassis, wood smoke and chocolate, this rich cab has intense red and black fruit flavors, notes of bitter chocolate,, medium to full body, and ripe tannins.

Stolpman Syrah Estate, Santa Ynez, 2011 (92Tanzer/93 Galloni) 14.00 Perhaps the finest version of this wine to date, Stolpman has hit it out of the park again! Expect a deep, dark purple color followed by a Lovely nose of ripe blackberry, roasted black plum, violets. and anise. On the palate you should expect layers of ripe black raspberry fruit, lush, full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannin, and complex notes of violet pastille that remind one of Cote Rotie (PS- this actually has a dash of Viognier, Roussanne, and Grenache add for complexity). Wow!

678 Montenidoli Vernaccia di San Gimignano Fiore, Tuscany, Italy, 2010 (92 Tanzer) 48.00 San Gimignano is a beautiful town in Tuscany known for its medieval skyline of towers, a 15th century Manhattan of sorts, if you will. They make a lovely local white called Vernaccia (Vehr-nah-cha) that is thoroughly enjoyable, but when we tasted this wine, it was a revelation of what this humble, local varietal is capable of. Do not expect a fruit bomb here, this is a serious, structured white that resembles a Tuscan version of Chablis. Anticipate quince, lemon, & pear fruit, medium body, and terrific minerality. Think of it as a Pinot Grigio with some balls! (Sorry, just checking to see if anyone actually reads this stuff)

743 Varner Chardonnay Home Block Spring Ridge Vineyard, Santa Cruz Mountains, 2010 95.00 (95 Wine Advocate) Brothers, Jim and Bob Varner, have been making excellent Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for many years now but 2009 was a breakout year, taking them to the elite level. Santa Cruz Mountains AVA has been a superb area (think great, ageworthy Mt. Eden!) for Chardonnay. This wine manages to balance its richness and fruit with the minerality and structure the region is known for. This is classy, sophisticated wine

410 Vie di Romans Flor di Uis, Isonzo, Friuli, Italy, 2011 (92 Wine Advocate) 65.00 Friuli is undoubtedly one of Italys finest, if not finest, region for white wines. Flor di Uis is a wonderful example of why. It is a proprietary blend of Malvasialstriana, Tocai Friulano & Riesling Renano. Expect a gorgeous nose of Orange Blossom, white peach & a hint of cinnamon and white pepper. It is medium bodied with plenty of richness but also wonderful balance and restraint. On the palate, the above aromas echo with added notes of stone & mineral woven in to all the orchard fruit & white flowers its beautiful, complex, balanced & food flexible.

481 Pieropan Soave Calvarino, Veneto, Italy, 2009 (93 Tanzer / 94 Wine Advocate) 58.00 Leonildo Pieropan is widely considered the master of Soave and the Calvarino vineyard (along with his La Rocca vineyard) is probably the finest. Made of 90% Garganega and 10% Trebbiano di Soave, from vines that range from 30 to 60 years old, it is aged on its lees in glass-lined cement tanks for a year (a hot trend for Californias top chardonnay winemakers, but standard here!). It never spends any time in oak to preserve its purity. Expect a bouquet of apple & pear fruit, chamomile & elderflower notes a long with notes of mineral and anise. In the mouth, expect a balance of richness and elegance with an echoing of orchard fruit and subtle white flowers. Unlike many Italian whites that are meant to be consumed early, this has a great track record for graceful aging. We recommend it with seafood and creamy pasta dishes.

699 Delille Chaleur Blanc, Columbia Valley, Washington, 2010 (92 Tanzer) 64.00 This blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon is a delicious white Bordeaux-style wine. It sees 4 months of time in French (70% new oak), but is by no means overwhelmed by it. It has a terrific nose of pineapple, ginger, curry and basil, On the palate, the flavors range from citrus, stone fruit, botanicals, guava & a touch of honey. It is intensely flavored to be sure but also manages to be elegant and long. New world Sauvignon doesnt get much better than this.

766 Tranche Slice of Pape Blanc, Columbia Valley, Washington, 2010 (92 Wine Advocate) 46.00 Made by the below the radar virtuosos at Washington States Corliss Winery, Slice of Pape Blanc is an homage to Chateauuneuf du Pape Blanc. This blend of 59% Roussanne and 41% Viognier, aged in 100% neutral oak is rich, layered and balanced. Expect aromas of stone fruit, white flowers, lemon custard and almonds that echo on the palate. Its acidity leavens the richness and fruit leaving an impression of harmony and finesse. This is a terrific example of New World white Rhone Ranger and a terrific value.

360 Gobelsburg Gruner Veltliner Tradition, Kamptal, Austria, 2010 (92 Tanzer) 75.00 Gruner Veltliner is the indigenous white varietal of Austria and the volk at Gobelsburg make some of the finest (their Rieslings are also terrific). The nose expresses scents of pear skin, smoke and flint, and botrytis which exploded on the palate into ripe nectarine, apricot, and ripe melon. It is rich & ripe yet maintain a nearly magical buoyancy with a texture like silk sheets (dont laugh) This is beguiling, seductive juice! For the geeks in the audience, it is fermented in large oak casks at ambient temperature, eschewing timing and clarification, then bottled after 18 months a la the old school, hence the Tradition. Chardonnay drinkers should take note.


RREEDD WWIINNEESS RREECCOOMMMMEENNDDAATTIIOONNSS BIN # RED WINE PRICE

439 Tua Rita Perlato del Bosco, Suvereto, La Maremma, Toscana, Italy, 2010 63.00 (94 Tanzer & Wine Advocate) Tua Rita makes superb Cabernet & Merlot in La Maremma, Tuscanys viticulturally fashionable southwest coast. This wine started off as 100% Sangiovese a decade ago and eventually included large percentages of Merlot & Cab.With the return of superstar winemaker Luca DAttoma this vintage marks a return to the original style with 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet, aged 14 months in French oak. Expect a very healthy dark color followed by a nose of ripe red berries & cherries, green tobacco, licorice, mineral, and rosemary. In the mouth, you will find rip red fruit, medium body, lead pencil, mineral & pomegranate-like juiciness.

428 Terredora Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio, Campania, 2009 (90 Wine Advocate) 41.00 This is probably unlike anything you have previously had. Literally translated as the Tears of Christ, this esoteric, Southern Italian red is 100% Piedirosso grown in the volcanic soils created by Mt. Vesuvius. It is a real value and very exotic. Count on a smoky, ethereal perfumes of red fruit with volcanic soil tones. On the palate, you will find it silky and medium-bodied with juicy red cherry and pomegranate fruit, an overlay of smoke, licorice, tar, minerals & distinctive soil tones. The texture might remind one of Grenache. This is cool stuff for the adventurous drinker. It should be very flexible at the table.

916 Saxum Broken Stones, Paso Robles, 2005 (94 Parker) 145.00 Justin Smith at Saxum as become one of Californias true winemaking superstars working from fruit from his terrific James Berry Vineyard and other great sites. This cuvee is Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre with fruit from James Berry, Bone Rock, Broken Stones & Booker vineyard. You should expect a rich, bold wine with aromatics of black raspberry, floral notes and Christmas spices. Those echo on the full-bodied palate with ripe tannin & subtle minerality. We are lucky to get a 6 pack or two of Saxum per year to share with you, enjoy.

564 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Isabelle Morgan, California, 2010 (93 Tanzer) 89.00 Jim Clendenen reserves he finest fruit for the two cuvees named after his children Knox and Isabelle. The Knox is typically more structured and powerful and the Isabelle is more elegant, perfumed and voluptuous. The 2010 is typically ethereal with smoky wild strawberry and raspberry fruit, notes of earth, mineral, dried flowers & brown spices all on the texture that oscillates between silk and velvet. This is quintessentially suave and feminine in a way that is rich and weightless at the same time. If you are looking for extract & size look else where.

736 Revello Barolo Rocche dell Annunziata, Piemonte, Italy, 1998 (93 Tanzer &WS) 120.00 The esoteric Nebbiolo grape reaches it apogee in Barolo & Barbaresco on the Northwestern Italian region of Piemonte (Piedmont). If you love Barolo or have been curious about it but have shied away, do we have a deal for you! Here is the equation: (excellent winery + superb vineyard + very good vintage + 15 years of age = one hellava deal). You can expect a color of garnet with brick on the rim followed by a bouquet of sweet Marasca cherries, red berry fruit, warm brown spices. In the mouth, elegant autumnal notes add to the red cherry & raspberry fruit. It has medium to full body with plenty of middle palate flesh to buffer Barolos famous tannic spine and lingering finish. (1998 folks, we are talking Monica Lewinsky was in the headlines!)

254 Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel Geyserville, Sonoma, 2011 (92 Tanzer) 72.00 The great Paul Draper has over seen the continued excellence of Ridge since 1969 and continues to be one of Zinfandels greatest Champions. He has long advocated a minimal intervention approach that maximizes terroir and keeps alcohol relatively moderate levels in pursuit of balance. This proprietory blend, which includes 78% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, 4% Petite Sirah, 1% each of Alicante Bouschet & Mourvedre, is all about class and elegance, not power.Expect a dark purple color and aromas of ripe dark berries, vanilla & smoke. It is rich and full-bodied with generous blackberry fruit complicated by notes of anise, violet & vanilla. There is always a touch of restraint in a Ridge Zin that keeps the ebullient nature of the varietal from going over the top (e.g.- too much alcohol).
