WHITE
WINES

Allegro, 2006 — $20.00
Case Price: $16.00
 Allegro is an early-harvest
blend of premium white varietals that is a study in contrasts and
complexity. It has the wonderfully fruity nose of a Sauvignon Blanc;
the light, airy crispness of a Pinot Grigio; the rich, creamy texture
of a barrel-fermented Chardonnay; and the pleasing, lasting finish of
the finest Viognier. This is a unique wine that is light enough to be
used as an aperitif, yet pairs beautifully with a meal of white fish,
chicken, or pork.
|
|
Viognier, 2007 —
$22.00
Case Price: $17.60
Viognier is sometimes called
a "Cadillac Chardonnay." It is a rich, lush white wine along the same
vein as a Chardonnay, but possesses a tropical fruit bouquet and floral
notes on the palate.

Tempranillo,
2006 — $24.00
Case Price: $19.20
Tempranillo is the most prestigious grape in
Spain's Rioja region. This is a robust wine with loads of fruit up
front, and the pleasant, earthy finish that is so reminiscent of the
finest Rioja wines. The wine was aged in small oak barrels, and is an
excellent accompaniment with a wide range of foods.

Santé,
2003 —$20.00
Case Price: $16.00
Santé is an
appropriate name for
this wine, as it means "cheers" in French. This wine was made
from 70% Tempranillo and 30% Syrah and was
aged in small French oak
barrels for 14 months to produce a complex and well-balanced wine.
On the palate, the soft "red fruit" character of the
Tempranillo
is followed by the earthy rich finish of the Syrah.

historic "noble" grape varietals, is well-known in its native Bordeaux

Zinfandel, with a spicy fruit nose, characteristic jammy berry and
spice on the palate, and a pleasing hint of black pepper on the
lingering finish. Our 2004 Zin is an excellent choice with lighter meat
dishes, such as chicken or pork, as well as classic all-American fare
such as cheeseburgers or pizza.

The Cabernet
Sauvignon lends balance and complexity, and rounds out the lingering
finish. The wine was aged in small oak barrels for 14
months and is an excellent choice
for char-grilled meats.
