TERCOS TORRONTES
Torrontes is the signature white grape of Argentina. Pale yellow with faint greenish highlights, this wine has an unmistakable classic rose and white floral aroma. A pleasant melange of tart grapefruit, peak, apple and sweet pineapple is supported by a lively, crisp acidity. This is a playful wine with a freshness that lingers.

PENALOLEN CABERNET SAUVIGNON
This Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep and brilliant purple hue. Ideally balanced between earthy and fruity notes, this wine presents aromas and flavors of black currants, wild strawberries, mint, dried herbs and a rich balsamic finish. Round and lush, the wine is supported by fine, tight tannins lingering into the finish.

MAQUIS CABERNET FRANCE
Cabernet Franc is often an under appreciated grape, lost in blends with rich, bold grapes like Cabernet Sauvgnon and Merlot. But on its own, Cabernet Franc can offer a subtle, graceful elegance that makes a lasting impression. This bright, vibrant red wine offers sweet red berry fruit, baked plum and warm cedar notes. The tannins are sculpted and firm, just coming into maturity. The sweet oak notes linger, lending a warm spiciness to the juicy, fruity finish.

MAQUIS LIEN RED
This Chilean red is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Carmenere, Syrah and Petite Sirah. With the intent of producing bold, concentrated fruit, the Hurtado family restricts vine yields to a maximum of 12 bunches of grapes per plant. This ensures a wine that offers plentiful jammy, ripe fruit notes. 12 months of French oak aging provides a warmth and richness that pairs well with the peppery spice from Syrah and the herbal notes from Cabernet France.

BRUNN GRUNER VELTLINER
Gruner Veltliner is the signature grape of Austria, producing spicy, vibrant white wines. Hand harvested in small batches from the Estate’s vineyards, the grapes are pressed and then aged for a short time in large Slovenian casks, imparting a gentle, delicate oak touch. The palate is light and acidic with abundant citrus and green apple flavors along with clean mineral notes and a classic white pepper finish.

SAN FELICE CHIANTI CLASSICO
Chianti Classico is a small, independent appellation within the greater Chianti region. Chianti Classico wines must be a minimum of 80% Sangiovese, allowing only other red varietals to complete the blend. Medium-bodied with a dry earthy elegance, this wine presents notes of red cherry, raspberry and sweet dried violets. Delicate tannins and a fresh acidity make this wine a superb and effortless food companion.

PICULIT NERI RED
This red blend hails from delle Venezie in northeastern Italy (an area that includes Veneto, Fruili-Venezia Giulia and Trentino). The palate is plump and soft with sour cherry and moist earth flavors. The finish is medium in length and has a pleasant cleansing quality.

COOLE SWAN SUPERIOR IRISH CREAM LIQUEUR
As a nod to St. Patrick’s Day, we’re pouring some delicious Irish Cream. A blend of single malt Irish whiskey, white Belgian chocolate and natural dairy cream, this liqueur is smooth, sweet and decadent. Spicy notes from the whiskey mingle with flavors of vanilla, cocoa and sweet cream creating an experience that is warm, rich and satisfying.

MOULIN DE GASSAC GUILHEM ROSE
This blend of Syrah and Carignan is made by the direct press method, where whole red grapes are crushed and pressed at the same time resulting in very pale, pink juice. The nose bright with wild strawberries and raspberries with gentle floral accents. The palate is light, crisp and clean with more red berry fruit, hints of citrus zest add a lingering minerality. This wine is just begging for Spring to hurry up!

TEMPERMENTO BOBAL
Bobal is a grape indigenous to the Valencia region in Spain. Typically used as a blending grape in bulk wine, it has started to receive more attention on its own, producing dense and chewy wines. This wine is full-bodied with rugged texture and a wealth of dark baked berry flavors, fading to rich, toasted oak notes.

LOCA LINDA MALBEC
These grapes came from low yield vineyards in the Uco Calley, Mendoza. The warm climate of this valley is ideal for developing aromas and structure. Medium bodied with easy tannins, the palate expresses plentiful black cherry and raspberry fruit with hints of violets and toasted vanilla on the finish.

LES HERETIQUES RED
The south of France is a gold mine for great value wines. The wine rules are more relaxed in these areas allowing vintners to be more creative with their vineyards and varietals. This flexibility often translates to cost savings that are passed on to consumers. This Minervois wine is 100% Carignan and will surprise you with its depth and energy. Medium-bodied with strong, but easy tannins, this wine is unoaked, leaving pure and plentiful ripe berry fruit to fill out the palate.

BANSHEE SAUVIGNON BLANC
The cool climate and plentiful sun of Sonoma County offers up fruit that is ripe and balanced. This medium-bodied wine has a brisk, lively palate full of vibrant pear, green apple and lemon meringue flavors with a delicate honeysuckle finish.

R BLEND BY RAYMOND 
This field blends is a throwback to the days when vineyards were planted with many different varietals and the grapes were all picked and vinified together. A blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Zinfandel, this wine presents a concentrated and complex profile. Medium to full-bodied, this wine presents layers of cherry, strawberry, raspberry and warm spice.

MORDECAI BANSHEE RED
This blend used Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Zinfandel to lend it weight and structure. Merlot, Carignan, Cabernet France and Cinsault add depth and complexity. Ripe red and blue fruits are accompanied by dried herbs and spiced blackberry liqueur. Round and plush, this wine is a pleasant and satisfying drink.

FREAKSHOW RED
One of acclaimed Michael David Winery’s big hits, this Lodi blend pairs the wild, untamed muscle of Syrah with the refined, polished structure of Petite Sirah. Aromas of baked berry cobble, espresso and roasted nuts rise aggressively from the glass. The palate is full bodied and velvety with rich flavors of jam, toffee, dark chocolate and warm tobacco on the finish. A big, gregarious wine and an excellent value.
