Sonoma Mountain
Gruner Veltliner
2020
$31.99 reg. $34.99
Medium straw-yellow. Intense, fragrant aromas of green apple (I’m reminded of Laffy Taffy!) Crenshaw melon, and white pepper. This is classy stuff! On the palate, medium bodied with flavors of quince, green apple, and quinine. Finishes with a pleasing chalky minerality. We’re finding our whites to be more age-worthy than we anticipated so this can be enjoyed over a number of years.

Il Poggione
Brancato
Rosé
2021
$23.99
Brancato is a rose wine made with 100% estate grown Sangiovese grapes. After the harvest, the must stays in contact with the skins for 24 hours, followed by a long, cool fermentation. Brancato offers red fruit flavors and freshness, a rose with the structure of a young sangiovese.
Chilled Reds:
Sansonina
Evaluna
Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Franc
2019
$17.99 reg. $19.99
Silty/morainic soils with the presence of clay are well-suited soils for Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Sandy soil elevates aromatics and creates softer wines, showing less tannin. The presence of clay allows a balancing act to sand, offering higher extract and color. Vinifying in stainless allows for the fresh red fruits to emerge together with peppery characteristics of the Cabernet duo.
The fresh profile and moderate tannins offer immediate drinkability. With food, reach for a porchetta sandwich, roasted chicken or game birds such as quail. Hard cheeses with age are an ideal exploration with the wine.
Mommessin
Morgon
Cote du Puy
Grand Vin Fin Du Beaujolais
2020
$21.99 reg. $24.99
Combining a deep red-ruby robe and a subtle nose of very ripe black fruits, and even cherry in brandy. A touch of black chocolate slightly toasted can be found in this exceptional wine. A fleshy and racy palate with dense and voluptuous tannins, elegant with great energy and long aromatic persistency.
Morgon Cote de Py has a tremendous ageing potential: This well-balanced wine can age up to 10 years, with the correct temperature and humidity conditions. Best served at between 15°C and 18°C. Morgon Cote du Py pairs well with duck and feathered game dishes. It would also match with ripened cheeses full of character. Let be amazed by decanting this astonishing wine!
Pelissero
Dolcetto D'Alba
Munfrina
2020
$22.99 reg. $29.99
The visual impact is a beautiful purple red very bright. The olfactory analysis reminds of fruit and typical aromas, including red cherry. The taste is a very nice balance among tannins, acidity and alcohol, so that the wine is sapid and pleasant. The aftertaste, slightly bitter, reminds of almonds which is the very typical characteristic of this wine.

Seghesio
Sonoma County
125th Anniversary
Zinfandel
2020
$19.99 reg. $25.99
An expressive burst of aromas of deep dark fruits lead into layered tones of lifted red fruit and a soft, luscious mid-palate. A juicy, vibrant entry with notes of black cherry, black raspberry, fig, baking spice and fresh Santa Rosa plum, is interwoven with supple, textured tannins and acidity on the long, complex finish. Pair well with grilled steak, sausage and peppers with cheesy polenta, and pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces such as baked rigatoni or pappardelle Bolognese. Pairs well with semi-hard cheeses such as dry jack – our favorite is from a local Sonoma producer, Vella Cheese Company – and aged cheddar or gouda.
