This beautiful Rosé is rich with color and has a fresh, lively fruit character,

mango, papaya, and white nectarine, with a hint of fresh-cut grass. The palate is
fresh and enticing , as grapefruit, pineapple, and passion fruit intertwine with
Meyer lemon and lime, making your mouth water. Balanced yet lively acidity lingers
on the palate inviting another taste. Boxwood on the finish gives the wine length and
a vibrant finish. 91 Points-Wine & Spirit Magazine Harken Chardonnay 2018, Parlier, CA………….………..$12.99……..$10.99

Barrel fermented to create a rich Chardonnay exhibiting a classic profile of tropical fruit
and Bosc pear alongside warm oak aromatics. The luscious palate suggests
crème brulée and buttered toast, and finishes with fresh acidity. Rodney Strong Russian River Valley Pinot Noir…….….$20.99……..$17.89
This Pinot Noir has lovely aromas of red fruit, floral, and earth.
With a soft, silky texture, on the palate, cherry, cranberry, and baking spice
characteristics shine through with balance, acidity, and a nice lingering finish.
This is medium-bodied wine was aged for 15 months in small French oak barrels,
which add a hint of toasty vanilla and spice complexity. Enjoy with gruyere cheese and charcuterie,
wild mushroom pizza, or slow roasted pulled pork. 92 Points-James Suckling Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, Sonoma……..…….$18.99……..$16.19
Rich, with dark cherry, plum, and baking spices. The delicious fruit is accompanied
by black pepper notes, crushed violets, and cassis. The palate has medium tannins,
lingering spicy oak flavors with a velvety lush finish. Enjoy this Cabernet with grilled steak,
rack of lamb, or grilled winter vegetables. Cockburn’s Special Reserve Port, Portugal………...…………….$19.99……..$16.99
First created in 1969, the first of its kind causing a revolution in the way Port was seen and drunk
around the world. The wine is aged in seasoned oak barrels, seasoning longer than other reserve Ports.
The Special Reserve has lusciously ripe, vibrant fruit with lovely tannins giving it a slightly peppery
spice on the tongue, but it has the softness and smoothness achieved by slow aging in old oak barrels.
Serve at room temperature in nice, big wine glasses to get the full aromas of the wine. It pairs
particularly well with cheeses and other desserts. And will stay good for up to 6 weeks after opening. |
