September 2010
Tasting Schedule

Friday September 3rd Burke Wine Brokerage.
This array of Italian gems has a lot to offer: good value, food friendly flavors and diversity of appellations. Clic from Venezie is a white wine of amazing value and the composition is familiar and appealing. Picco del Sole is Canonau (Grenache) from Sardegna and Guadente Moncaro is a tempting red of d’ Alba.

Saturday September 4th New Arrivals for Late Summer.
 As summer wanes and vacations end we are mindful of the need for even more under-the-radar values. Hogue Columbia Valley Chardonnay offers supple flavors and proper structure. Tines White is an exotic, ample blend from McNab Ridge in Mendocino. Noceto Sangiovese is from a 24-acre vineyard in Amador County.

Friday September 10th Roth Estate Wines.
The most southern tip of the Alexander Valley appellation is where the Roth Estate has developed their outstanding wines. And we are pleased to offer their Cabernet Sauvignon ’07 and Sauvignon Blanc ’09. Another star of the Alexander Valley and big brother to Roth is Lancaster Estate and their Cabernet Sauvignon ’06 will also be available for tasting and purchase.

Saturday September 11th   Merlot Mania
Merlot has had its ups and downs. The “French Paradox” brought people flocking for smooth red wine and its subsequent health benefits. Then the movie “Sideways” hurt the wine’s image. But Merlot can be counted in because it’s a perennial favorite with many wine enthusiasts. Today you’ll taste three you can count on: Highway 12 Sonoma Valley, Ramspeck Napa Valley and Keenan Spring Mountain.

Friday September 17th Jus Soli. Tom, Mike and Jesse.
Three guys growing up together in the same Sonoma neighborhood. They are more connected today than ever through the wine venture they call Jus Soli. If you have not encountered these wines do yourself a favor and taste with us (and Jesse) ’08 Sauvignon Blanc, ’07 Roots Red and ’07 Dry Creek Zinfandel.

Saturday September 18th  White Burgundy Sampling.
When we say white burgundy we are talking about Chardonnay. We have three different wines representing their respective French appellations. Please join us to taste Cave de Lugny Macon-Village, Domaine de la Denante Saint-Véran and Louis Jadot Pouilly Fuissé.

Friday September 24th Planet Wines.
It is no coincidence that the selections from Planet Wines are our best selling French wines. The astute husband and wife team of Olivier and Natalie, who are French born, have selected their producers and their products with care and have the distinct advantage to deal mostly with small production vignerons assuring quality wines at low overhead prices. Sancerre, Rhone and Champagne will be among the wines offered.

Saturday September 25th Wines of Chile Promotion.
This special tasting featuring the four predominant varietals of Chile will be hosted by Brenda Dos Santos. Our wines, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon, will demonstrate versatility, complexity and extraordinary value. Please note, we have extended our hours for this tasting for The Wines of Chile. They are: 4pm until 7pm.

There is a $5 charge for each tasting event.  We offer discounts by the bottle and by the case.
