2011 Benziger Sonoma County Chardonnay
Review Date: 6-14-2013
From the cool 2011 vintage, Benziger delivers us a nicely delineated, organically grown and biodynamically made fruit-driven Chardonnay for a song. Aromas of fresh citrus and stone fruit greet the nose, with nutty undertones. The palate is creamy and round, with bright acidity. Top Value!

2011 Benziger Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 6-14-2013
Crisp, clean, and refreshing with subtle floral and hay notes, this delightful quaffer from local Sonoma family winemakers hits all the marks for a light, dry style. It definitely drinks above its price point. Try it with a fresh veggie and goat cheese salad, or grilled shrimp tacos. Benziger makes wine in accordance with biodynamic principles, and work with organic growers in order to meet their strict guidelines for the fruit that goes into their appellation wines.

2010 Ramey Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 6-5-2013
You really see the talent and style of winemaker David Ramey shine in cooler vintages like 2010, where his Chardonnays exhibit precisely the sort of power and focus that has has earned them serious praise. Wine Advocate's Antonio Galloni nailed it in describing Ramey Chardonnays as possessing "a Chassagne-like richness that is quite appealing, yet they remain laid back in style by California standards." You get the best of both worlds in the Russian River release: richness and depth thanks to high caliber vineyard sources including Dutton, Martinelli, Rochioi, King, and Ritchie, balanced by the vibrance and freshness of the vintage. Extended lees contact lends texture and body, and at this youthful stage the wine shows tropical citrus and spiced apple-pear aromas and flavors with hints of beeswax and toasted almond. There is wonderful breadth on the palate, lively acidity a long, complex finish. Try it with seared scallops over creamy risotto.

2009 Tatomer "Vandenberg" Santa Barbara County Riesling
Review Date: 5-9-2013
If you desire a richer style, the botryized and off-dry 2009 “Vandenberg” is more generous and rich in the mouth than the 'Kick On Ranch', yet still gorgeous and vibrant. It's laden with lush tropical and lychee fruit aromas and a flavors and a finish that lingers...perfect for spicy exotic fare or a sumptuous fruit dessert. Very impressive form for Riesling from as unexpected a locale as Santa Barbara! Graham Tatomer is a winemaker to watch.

2010 Louis-Antoine Luyt Carignan "Trequilemu" Maule Valley
Review Date: 4-15-2013
A must try for any fan of honest, pure wine with a sense of place, these naturally made wines from Antoine Luyt are dead ringers for Cru Beaujolais. Take one to your next blind tasting and it will stump the best of them. "Trequilemu" is 100% Carignan, from 70 year old vines. Its raspberry and blackberry aromas and flavors are flecked with earthy minerals; it is fresh and fruity but shows real substance and length. I would love this with a simple grilled steak lightly seasoned with herbs.

2010 Louis-Antoine Luyt Carignan "Sauzal" Maule Valley
Review Date: 4-15-2013
A must try for any fan of honest, pure wine with a sense of place, these naturally made wines from Antoine Luyt are dead ringers for Cru Beaujolais. Take one to your next blind tasting and it will stump the best of them. This 100% Carignan from Chile is juicy, vibrant, and fresh, with crunchy red and blackberry notes and nice lift on the palate. It is almost too easy to drink...the perfect choice for for picnics or barbecues.

2010 Bedrock Wine Company "Cuvée Karatas" Sonoma County Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 4-12-2013
Lees contact, partial malo and barrel aging in 85% new oak, consistent with Bordeaux tradition, yields a cuvée that is complex and long-lived. Aromas of pineapple, peach, baked apple, toasted nuts and lemon butter lead in the nose, followed by creamy, honeyed baking spice flavors on the palate. This is all undercut by brilliant acidity, earthy minerality and more nuttiness on the finish, for an impeccably balanced, food-oriented white. In addition to seafood dishes, this will stand up to stronger fish like salmon or tuna, as well as roast chicken or pesto pasta.

2011 Kathryn Kennedy Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 4-12-2013
Word of Kathryn Kennedy's single white offering, a 100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from CCOF-certified organic vineyards in Napa, Lake and Mendocino Counties, is starting to spread. This mouthwatering white delights the palate with zesty lemon and grapefruit aromas and flavors undercut by mineral notes, with an invigorating lift at the finish, making it a palate-whetting apéritif and perfect complement to the mineral, saline flavors of fresh shellfish. Winemaker Marty Mathis hand-selected each vineyard source based on factors of quality and cool-climate characteristics, and opted for an all stainless steel fermentation and aging regimen to yield a crisp style that is all about purity and focus.

Hubert Meyer Cremant d' Alsace
Review Date: 3-13-2013
Love this! A crisp and refreshing 100% Pinot Blanc Cremant d'Alsace with vibrant acidity and minerality driving delicate pear and apricot aromas and flavors. This is a new go-to sparkler under $20 for me, delightful on its own or with a variety of foods. Try it with sushi!

2012 Waterkloof "Circumstance" Sauvignon Blanc Stellenbosch
Review Date: 2-26-2013
A fresh, elegant style, with tangy green apple and melony aromas and flavors, nice extension on the palate, and a cleansing finish that hints of minerals. This focused, balanced Sauvignon Blanc from South Africa gives competition from the Loire Valley a run for the money, thanks to our great deal through direct import.

Cocchi Aperitivo Americano Rosa 750ml
Review Date: 2-12-2013
Lovely stuff! A brand new offering from Cocchi, this is a fresher, lighter in body, and a fruitier version of their Vermouth de Torino with subtle aromatic suggestions of Chinato. Red and blackberries, earth flowers, and woodsy, spiced herbs meld for a similarly fruity yet sweetly bitter style of Vermouth. Serve on the rocks (with or without soda) with a lemon or lime twist or top with Champagne for a sparkling aperitif. Not to heavy, not too sweet, there is a lot of potential for creative cocktail-making here...from martinis to Sangria! Served chilled after dinner, this would also make a delicious pairing with a strong spicy blue cheese (like cabrales, gorgonzola, or roquefort) accompanied by a side of spiced chutney, candied citrus peel, or quince paste.

2010 Domaine les Pallières "Les Racines" Gigondas
Review Date: 1-29-2013
Co-owned by the family behind famed Vieux Telegraphe and respected wine importer Kermit Lynch, the 2010 Les Racines Gigondas is aromatic and silky smooth, with pure red and black fruit aromas and flavors accented by nuances of mineral, garrigue and smoky earth spices. There is surprising life and freshness here, and long, elegant finish. This has some serious charm now, and should evolve gracefully for the next decade plus.

2011 Domaine Frederic Giachino Vin de Savoie-Apremont
Review Date: 1-29-2013
This crisp white from the Savoie is made exclusively from the Jacquere varietal and shows surprising creaminess and texture for its light 11% abv frame. The tangy lemon-lime aromas and flavors are snappy and refreshing, and fleshiness on the midpalate makes this a great pairing for fondue. Try it with traditional Swiss raclette or experiment with other cheeses. This is also quite quaffable on its own!

2011 Domaine Frederic Giachino "Altesse" Roussette de Savoie
Review Date: 1-29-2013
Crisp and citrusy, with a creamy midpalate and hints of mineral and herbs on the finish, this traditional Savoie white is 100% Altesse (aka Roussette) hits all the markers for a classic version. If you are looking for a pairing for your Swiss fondue, or a refreshing alternative to Sauvignon Blanc to enjoy after a long say on the slopes (or surf), give this food-friendly, palate-friendly white a try.

2011 Domaine Heritiers du Comte Lafon Mâcon-Villages
Review Date: 1-29-2013
If you enjoy the richer white Burgundies like Meursault or full-bodied, French-oak-aged Chardonnays from some of California's cooler microclimates (most of which tend to be on the pricey side) here is a ripe, yet poised and refreshing Macon Villages that will satisfy your craving for $20. With tangy pineapple and tropical citrus aromas and flavors, accented by subtle hints of mineral and lemon zest, this Chardonnay balances richness and polish in a well-made, highly appealing style.
