Kiona Riesling 2008
Floral peach aroma with a crisp, refreshing finish. Contains a
hint of residual sugar. Excellent food wine. Whistle clean,
floral, spicy aromas with luscious mouth filling flavors are the
trademark of well made Northwest Rieslings. They had me at
peach. $10.99

Clear, dark ruby with
reddish-violet glints. Fresh and ripe plums and tart
black-raspberry fruit with zippy acidity to make it a winner at

Los Cardos
Cabernet Sauvignon: A classic Argentinian cabernet with rich
plum and cassis flavors and herbs on the finish. Great value!
$9.99
Carlos Basso “Dos Fincas”
Cabernet-Malbec: From one of our longtime favorite Argentinian
producers - the family is originally from Italy - this is aged
in new oak, which lends toasty vanilla notes that are a great
complement to the smooth ripe berry flavors. Easy to love!

De Tarczal Marzemino di Isera: So
the grape on this wine is called Marzemino. We know, we’d never
heard of it either. Grown in volcanic soil, it produces a
bright, lighter-bodied wine, with wild berries, minerals and a
hint of violets on the finish. (According to the internets, this
grape was Mozart’s favorite!) $15.99
Arcangelo Salice Salentino:
Hailing from Puglia in Italy’s boot, this is a blend of 80%
Negroamaro and 20% Primitivo. It’s got deep plum flavors and a
hint of pepper and cinnamon. Dark, concentrated, sexy, and
delicious. $13.99 |

Airlie
Gewurtztraminer 2006
This

Tiera Merlot 2007
Grab this while you can and enjoy
it's strong notes of wet earth, saddle leather, dust and dark
chocolate on the nose. Light on the attack, the wine expands on

red fruit flavors. $15.99
