Two more great ones...


2006 Schug Chardonnay
Sonoma Coast - $20

Grown on estate vineyards in the Carneros region of the Sonoma valley. This region bosts two distinct microclimates: the first is very cool resulting in a spicey boquet, citus and tropical fruit flavors, the second grown in the warmer areas of Sonoma that gives the buttery textures and the pear & peach flavors. Once this is blended together you get a truely unforgettable Chardonnay.


Intense, vibrant and refreshing with vivid pear, melon, citrus and mineral notes that are clean and cleaning on the finish. Yet after all its liveliness, it turns smooth and creamy. 92 points from The Wine Spectator.
Eat with appetizer’s, soups, salads, seafood and pasta dishes.


2005 Rosenblum Cellars
Richard Sauret Vineyards Zinfandel - $20

Hailing from Paso Robles, this Zin is 86% Zinfandel, and 14% Petitie Sirah coming from the wines namesake, Richard Sauret Vineyards. This vineyard features extremley low yeilding fruit make for higher quality juice.

This is a rich and exotic fruit-packed Zinfandel. A bouquet of ripe black currant and blackberry with creamy ripe cherry essences is followed by flavors of currant and vanilla with hints of briary spice and cracked black pepper. 89 points from The Wine Spectator. Pair it with a good steak, pasta with red sauce, or even a pizza.
