Chateau Saint Nabor Chardonnay 2019 Pays d”Oc……….$12.99……….$10.99
This is 100% Chardonnay; bright with a light gold tint. The nose is elegant, with the richness of exotic fruits
enhanced by crisp apple aromas. It is light, crisp, and easy drinking with a fresh taste. It has deep exotic aromas
of pineapple and banana coupled with a well-balanced body. To be served chilled with sweet spicy Chinese food,

Cerro Añon Rioja Reserva 2017, Spain……………………………..$20.99……….$17.89
90% Tempranillo, 5% Mazuelo, 5% Graciano
“Extraordinary”-The Washington Post
“It is aged 20 months in barrels, mostly American oak, then another 18 months in bottle. The
result is a classical-style Rioja with deep fruit and strong oak influence. With a few hours of air,
it unfurls flavors of orange and tangerine over blackberries and plums.”
92 Points-Tim Atkin
Hierogram Old Vine Zinfandel 2018, Lodi……………………...$14.99……….$12.79
Old Vine head trained Zinfandel; 60% new American oak for 15 months; rich and refined.
“Solidly built and fruity without seeming sweet. This full-bodied wine combines concentrated
flavors with a firm structure of fine-grained tannins and supportive acidity. Light oak touches
add interest, but the wines power and appeal come from bold varietal-fruit flavors.”
Callejon Petit Verdot Gran Reserve 2016, Mendoza….$23.99……….$20.39
90 Points-Tim Atkin, MW:
“The most dense and full-bodied of the Callejon red wines. Powerful, structured,
and packed with savory black fruits, it will require extended cellaring to reveal its
full potential. It seems to have the right stuff, so for those who think bigger is better,
this is the wine for you.”
Vina Palaciega Pedro Ximemez Sherry, Jerez……….……….$17.99……….$15.29
Once harvested, the grapes are left out under the sun for two weeks drying to turn them into
raisins, and increase the sugar level. Intense mahogany color. Complex, rich, and velvety.
Perfect to be enjoyed with desserts.” |
