Warm Weather Whites

Now that the weather is finally warmer in South San Francisco, we thought it would be time to roll out some unique white wines before the fog comes rolling back in.  The Chaleur Estate is oak aged and rich, a blend of Sauvigon Blanc and Semillon.  The Vieux Télégraph Blanc is Marsanne and Roussane, old vines from the Rhone.  The Et Fille is a Viognier with great minerality and a beautiful long finish.  All make for a great way to finish out the summer.

2008 Chaleur Estate – DeLille Cellars

2007 Vieux Télégraphe – Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc

2007 Et Fille Viognier – Deux Verz Vineyard, Yamhill-Carlton

 August 30 – September 3

2006 Napa Cabernets

A stellar lineup of some of the best wines that Cabernet has to offer from three distinct growing areas.  The Groth is big, chewy and long.  The Round Pond is smoother with fine tannins and red fruits.  The Cliff Lede is rich with black fruit and supple mouth coating flavors of mocha and sweet oak.

2006 Groth - Oakville
2006 Round Pond - Rutherford

2006 Cliff Lede – Stags Leap District

~  Taste all three - $30  ~

September 6 – 10

New Arrival Pinot Noir

Three great new Pinots from three different areas.  The Tantara Rio Vista is big and bold. Sharecropper  is a super affordable Oregon Pinot, their best effort in a few years.  Chronicle (not to be confused with the newspaper) is one of the most unique single vineyard Pinots out of the Sonoma Coast we have ever tasted.  Superb!

2007 Tantara Rio Vista – Santa Rita Hills

2009 Owen Roe Sharecroppers – Oregon

2007 Chronicle – Sonoma Coast
