Wine: Teaching Us to Slow Down

I continue to be blown away at the response to the shop. We have added wines, beers and people. Things keep moving forward. I would love to take credit for this phenomenon as if I knew something nobody else knew. Alas, it is all about the wine. Read More . . .

• Superiore Frascati (14.99)
  Looking for the perfect accompaniment for some spicy food? Look no further. A magnificent blend of Malvasia Blanca and Bambino.
  
  Pairs well with cheeses, salads, or all by itself (just for sipping). Close

  Jane Hunter has created a magnificent Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Tasty fruit in stereo in your mouth. Get it while we still have it!!Close
• Eroice Riesling from Ch St Michel and Dr. Loosen (17.99)
  Delicious from start to finish. The perfect summer Riesling.Close
• Zacherle Viognier (29.99)
  What is Viognier? Delicious!! No, really.
  
  Viognier, the grape, is a rare varietal brought to Condrieu, on the northern Rhone, over 2,000 years ago by the Greeks or Romans. It was only planted in California a mere 20 years ago. It is now predominantly found in the Rhone valley and California. Viognier is extremely difficult to grow and therefore is only used by few vineyards.
  
  Viognier is becoming a favored white wine, as its depth of character and complexity is greater than the current white favorite, Chardonnay. Viognier is noted for spice, floral, citrus, apricot, apple and peach flavors. It typically produces medium bodied wines with relatively high acids and fruit.

• Almaviva 2005 (74.99)
  How about a 96 point wine that is the cheapest price in the country? Have at it!Close
• Hirsch Family Vineyards Pinot Noir (59.99)
  A very unique, full-bodied Pinot Noir from the Hirsch Family Vineyards in Sonoma County. Had a chance to meet the winemaker's family in the "wine lab". Great folks with integrity and a history of fantastic wine making.Close
• Plungerhead Zinfandel-Dry Creek 2006 (19.99)
  This is the wine that everyone has been requesting. We had the Lodi version, then the Dry Creek. The Dry Creek sold a ton in about three weeks. I ordered seven cases just to get the Dry Creek version. Taste and enjoy. Great summer red with grilled seafood, especially salmon. ONLY FIVE BOTTLES LEFT!!!Close
• Hazyblur Shiraz 2005 (34.99)
  Brought back by popular demand. Sometimes I just have to listen to the bosses. Come back in and get reacquainted with this awesome Shiraz. Silky smooth and ready to drink. Very little left so do not miss out!Close
