$17.99/bottle or $13.99/bottle on 6+

“A blend of Chardonnay (70%), Chenin (20%), and Pinot Noir (10%) grapes from the highest vineyeards in the south of France where hot days and cool nights ensure freshenss, fruitiness and elegance in this unique sparkling wine. Salmon rose color with very fine bubbles. Complex bouquet of red fruit aromas (strawberry, raspberry) and toasted bread notes. Lively, rich with very good length.”
Mi Sueno “Los Carneros” Chardonnay 2014 (Carneros, CA)
$42.00/bottle or $29.95/bottle on 6+
Winery Tasting Notes:
“This wine reflects the depth of the vintage with its golden color, platinum hue, bright aromas and rich taste. Alluring aromas of caramel, apricot, white peach, lemon peel, and green apple are balanced with subtle minerality. A rich and creamy mouthfeel carries flavors of apple, custard, and butterscotch. The mid-palate shows excellent acidity and further notes of jasmine and white chocolate.”
VML Pinot Noir 2013 (Russian River Valley)
$34.95/bottle or Special WC Discount at Tasting
Winery Tasting Notes:
“Vibrant ruby red in color, La Brisa Pinot Noir opens with hints of earth, crushed violet, and red fruits laced with a “sauvage” character. Intense flavors of crushed raspberry, cola, freshly turned soil, and tobacco linger on the palate. The texture is rich and leads into a warm finish with balanced oak and fresh minerality.”
Kith & Kin (by Round Pond) Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 (Napa Valley, CA)
$34.95/bottle or $23.95/bottle on 6+
Winery Tasting Notes:
“Inviting and approachable, this wines bouquet prepares the palate with aromas of cherry jubilee, coco-dusted red berries, and subtle hints of spice. Red fruit driven, the supple entry teases with bright notes of fresh cherry and licorice immediately lead into darker, fleshier notes. This full-bodied Cabernet shows a beautiful balance of fruit, acid, spice, and tannin. Earthy notes of forest floor, dark chocolate, and sage linger for a full, yet remarkably soft finish.”
“Wine Spectator” Tasting Notes: 90 Points
“A striking example of a balanced wine, featuring ripe, juicy dark berry, spice, herb and dusty oak, with firm yet tender tannins that let the flavors glide happily along. Drink now through 2028.”
