Valdo Proscecco Brut DOC NV (Italy)
$13.99/bottle – Standard WC Discounts Apply
Winery Tasting Notes:
“Straw yellow color, joined with a fine perlage and a fruity taste are the distinguishing features of Valdo?s Brut Prosecco DOC. Well-balanced structure, matched with its flavorful and aromatic fruity fragrance make it the perfect pairing with starters and particulary with delicately flavoured dishes and especially seafood. Excellent as aperitif due to its distinctive characteristic of being “easy to drink”, best served in a flute glass.”
2014 Tom Gore Chardonnay (California)
$15.99/bottle or $12.99/bottle on six +
Winery Tasting Notes:
“Our Chardonnay has intense aromas of ripe apple and tropical fruit, with notes of toffee and toasty oak. The wine is smooth and richly textured. Its creamy undertones are balanced with just the right amount of acidity on the palate.”
2014 Fableist Pinot Noir (Central Coast)
$21.95/bottle or $17.99/bottle on six +
Winery Tasting Notes:
“Black cherries, blue raspberries and vanilla Coke. Medium to full pallet with balanced acidity and a baking spice finish.”
2013 Moss Roxx “Ancient Vine” Zinfandel (Lodi)
$21.95/bottle or $15.99/bottl on six +
Winery Tasting Notes:
“Moss Roxx Ancient Vine Zinfandel is a big flavorful zin from Lodi’s half to century year-old vines. Mature round tannins accenting generous raspberry chocolate, mocha and spice; this Zinfandel is truly a delectable expression of Lodi’s signature terroir.”
2013 Smoke & Mirrors (by Jeff Cohn) Red Wine (California)
$24.95/bottle or $19.95/bottle on six +
Wine Advocate Notes: 91 Points
“A blend of mostly Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, with smaller amounts of Grenache and Alicante Bouschet, Cohn’s 2013 Smoke and Mirrors (2,100 cases) tastes like a top flight Cotes du Rhone with its brambly berry fruits, licorice, crushed rock and hints of spring flowers. Fresh, lively, pure and quaffably good, yet also with plenty of class and first rate purity, it’s a terrific, beautifully made, medium-bodied, fruit-loaded red to buy by the case and enjoy over the coming 3-4 years.”
2013 District 3 Red Wine (Sonoma County)
$16.99/bottle or $14.99/bottle on six +
Winery Tasting Notes:
“Our 2013 Growers Reserve Blend glistens in the glass with deep, ruby hues. The aromas is inviting with layers of ripe, red cherries accented with hints of fruit leather, spicy cinnamon and vanilla. The soft entry is velvety sweet, rich with ripe red plums and black cherries. The wine lasts long on the palate and is carried with gentle tannins and a nicely-balanced note of toasted oak.”
