This STUNNING Grenache Blanc, "Hers" is made in honor of Keith Saarloos's grandmother. It is unlike any other Grenache Blanc I've tasted. Pear, citrus zest, lychee, mineral, with medium plus acidity and fabulous balance. RACY, racy, racy! AWESOME.

2008 Trapiche "Vina Coletto" Malbec Tupungato
Review Date: 4-1-2013
From one of the oldest wineries in Argentina, still family owned. Showing bottle notes of stewed cherry, red plum, bits of cassis, rich, ripe, medium plus tannin & medium plus acid. Well-balanced, elegant and a great transition for folks wanting to try new varietals who might be very used to Californian fruit. Fun!

2001 Qupe "Bien Nacido Vineyard Hillside Estate" Santa Maria Valley Syrah
Review Date: 4-1-2013
Boy oh boy, oh boy is this Syrah AMAZING! A few of us were recently treated to lunch at the Qupe/Au Bon Climat winery, and winemaker Bob Lindquist made sure that this wine was a featured part of the meal. I fell head over heels for it, enjoying it with roasted ham, a red quinoa salad and various cheeses. When Bob brought the bottle to our recent Friday night tasting, I was yet again impressed at how well the wine was showing. If you are looking for a really special bottle of domestic syrah, this is it! Stewed red cherry, sandalwood, hints of bacon and leather, with medium plus acidity (yes, at 12 years old! Such bright, fresh fruit!) and medium plus tannin. Well-balanced, beautiful integration, and clear excellence in winemaking. We bought this directly from Qupe, so get as much as you can fast!
Price: $74.99
2009 Palmina "Undici" Santa Barbara County Sangiovese
Review Date: 4-1-2013
Sourced from fruit from the Fiore vineyard, this 100% Sangiovese is pretty special. "Undici" means Eleven in Italian. Pretty red cherry, roses, sandalwood, with a soft subtley that classic sangiovese expresses. Medium plus acidity and medium plus tannin. A fun expression of a classic!
Price: $35.99
2010 Palmina "Lumina" Santa Maria Valley Sparkling Nebbiolo Rosé
Review Date: 4-1-2013
Okay, I will admit it outright. I begged our Domestic Buyer Brian Brick to buy this wine when we visited Palmina a few weeks ago. I fell HEAD over heels for this sparkling Nebbiolo rose. I mean, I fell HARD. I could drink this bubbly every day for the rest of my life and be completely happy. Red roses, red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, mineral with medium plus acidity, fine bubble structure and ridiculously easy to drink. Worth the splurge- very special. DELICIOUS!!!
