2009 Silvano Follador "Dosaggio Zero" Prosecco
Review Date: 1-8-2013
I'm a huge fan of this Prosecco! I love its nose of fresh fruit with hints of almond cookie, its Champagne-like combo of breadth and focus on the palate, and dry, laser-like finish. Delicious on its own or in between bites of cured meats, olives, and other tasty bites. Prosecco for Champagne-lovers.
Price: $24.99
2007 Huet "Cuvée Huet" Vouvray Petillant Sec
Review Date: 1-8-2013
Dry, but definitely not bone dry, this Sec offers a complex nose of dried peach and pear, honey, nutty lees, and lanolin, with notes of candied orange peel and stony minerals. The palate is saturated and intense, but balanced by precise acidity and marked by the slightest hints of umami. It fills the mouth with a rich mousse, then narrows to a focused finish that lingers with flavor. Pair it with wild mushroom 'vols-au-vent' to draw out the wine's subtle savor.
Price: $29.99
2008 Can Mayol Loxarel "Refugi" Reserva Brut Nature Penedes
Review Date: 12-28-2012
I love this Cava! A new Direct Import for us, Loxarel's 'Refugi' Brut Nature is so racy and pure, super-dry and very mineral-driven in aroma and flavor...one sip and you're hooked. There's just enough leesy character for complexity; lean muscle for depth and persistence. You will regret buying just one, trust me. For the freshest crustacean or shellfish, or any occasion, really.
Price: $17.99
St. George Terroir Mt. Tam Gin 750ml
Review Date: 11-1-2012
This is wild and crazy Gin, for folks who like intensity, bold herbal flavors, and a lot of local Bay Area flare in their Gin. Macerated with native pine and herbs from Mt Tam, among many other botanicals, this smells and tastes like a Christmas trees, cut with fresh sage and ground peppercorn. For Negronis.
Price: $30.99
Comandon XO Petite Champagne 30 Year Old K&L Exclusive Single Barrel #256 Cask Strength Cognac 750ml
Review Date: 11-1-2012
Out of the three K&L exclusive single barrel Comandon Cognacs we have, this 30 year old Petite Champagne is the most complex, nuanced, and expressive. Aged to perfection, delicate anise and floral top notes lift the nose and add contour to the subtle flavors on palate, which has a texture as smooth as silk. This fully realized Cognac glides across the tongue with the extension and precision of a ballerina, finishing with weightless balance and grace. Share after a special meal or give as a gift to that particularly elegant someone in your life.

Martin Miller's Westbourne Strength London Dry Gin 750ml
Review Date: 11-1-2012
A very dry, aromatic Gin, this is all Juniper and lemony citrus, with pretty floral, cedar, and ginger root accents. Light and ethereal, just gorgeous stuff! Takes the Gin & Tonic to a whole new level.
Price: $29.99
2002 Michel Loriot Vintage Brut Champagne (1.5L)
Review Date: 10-30-2012
Available in magnum only, this is really special vintage Champagne. The foundation of Pinot Meunier lends a distinctive citrus fruit aroma and earthy savor, for an altogether complex, balanced offering that really shows well with rich dishes. For Champagne connoisseurs.
Price: $99.00
Bruno Michel "Blanche Brut" Champagne (1.5L)
Review Date: 10-30-2012
Even better out of magnum! Less oxygen in contact with the wine in bottle makes for a Champagne with increased intensity and a magnified expression, not to mention longer life! If you love the 750 ml version then you will be floored by how incredible this shows out of the larger format. Its distinctive fruit and brioche aromas and flavors take on added dimension, and everything about the wine - mouthfeel, palate impression, finish - is more expansive and lingering. If you plan to be sharing Champagne with more than three people, a magnum like this is the way to go.
Price: $79.99
2001 Señorío de P.Peciña Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 10-25-2012
Pecina never disappoints. The 2001 Reserva Rioja is about as good as aged red wine can be for $30. I enjoyed this recently over a dinner of grilled flank steak with a side of brussels sprouts sauteed with bacon, and it was simply perfect. It showed a classic Rioja mix of red fruits, earth spice, and savory complexity from traditional barrel and bottle ageing, but with such freshness and lift! Exhibiting just the right amount of restraint so as to not take over the meal as many bolder reds can do, this cut right through the steak and handled the fatty/earthy flavors of the bacon and sprouts like it was fufilling its life purpose. Perhaps it was. I just hope it was paying attention the moment the conversation quieted and my guests remarked in unison, "man, this is REALLY good wine...what is this?" Kudos to you, Pecina.
Price: $29.99
Louis Roederer "Brut Premier" Champagne
Review Date: 10-25-2012
Made from half estate and half purchased fruit, all 1er and Grand Cru sources, Louis Roederer's Brut Premiere is a sophisticated, elegant Champagne that has minerality, flavor, acidity, and length of the sort you might expect to find in a bottle from one of our small grower-producer DIs as opposed to a "big" house. This can be attributed to the fact that even at this entry level, the wine originates as a vineyard or fruit selection, not a tank selection like other large production houses. This is a superb Champagne and great value. Whether you are a Champagne novice or connoisseur, shopping for a gift or a bottle to open and enjoy yourself, don't overlook this because you recognize the label - this seriously good Champagne is sure to impress.
Price: $34.99
2009 Domaine Dupré Beaujolais "Terre Noire"
Review Date: 10-15-2012
2009 was a superb vintage in Beaujolais, and if you're looking for an inexpensive, food-friendly party wine, this fun little red really delivers - especially if you expect to be entertaining casts of thousands! It has fresh berry aromas and flavors, a bright, juicy midpalate, and mineral notes on the finish. I recently served it as the red option at a large outdoor daytime party in which the host offered numerous smoked meat dishes, from pork shoulder to beef to salmon, along with various appetizers and tasty bites. It complemented the various food options nicely without overwhelming any of the flavors (nor anyone's palate). Plus the screwcap closure made it extremely easy for guests to help themselves, which they did with gusto!
Price: $8.99
2010 Montirius "Le Clos" Vacqueyras
Review Date: 10-9-2012
I am very pleased we have added the wines of Montirius to our ever expanding Direct Import program. This estate works entirely biodynamically and never uses new wood in any of their wines, striving for a purer, more elegant expression of fruit and terroir, which is why their wines have always stood out to me amidst the sea of competition as a step above in elegance and craft for the price. The 2010 "Le Clos" Vacqueryas offers an intense, Syrah-driven nose (despite being half Grenache), with signature smokey, gamy aromas and notes of cracked black pepper. The palate is densely packed with meaty fruit that is held up by very well structured tannins and impressive acidity. This has much to offer now, but given its structure seems poised to develop beautifully over time.
Price: $24.99
2011 Qupé Santa Ynez Valley Marsanne
Review Date: 9-28-2012
A standout at our recent domestic staff tasting in the white wine value category. Marsanne is prone to heaviness and high alcohol (especially in warm climates), but managed properly it can be wildly complex, mineral-driven and delicious, like this bottling from Qupe. Grant it, there's 21% Roussanne in here adding aromatic lift, brightness, and focus, but the richness on the palate and complex flavors (I can barely tease out lemon peel and pear) riding on a base of some real wet stone minerality is all Marsanne. This is a really fun, mind-bending wine that you can enjoy for under $20. Try it young with a bold and nutty dish that can take on the acid and draw out the wine's unique aromas like Thai cashew chicken, or lay it away to soften a bit and enjoy in a few years with an earthy dish, like creamy morel mushroom pasta.

2010 Westrey Willamette Valley Pinot Gris
Review Date: 9-28-2012
A nose of fresh green melon, minerals, and a hint of savory makes the mouth water for this delicious Pinot Gris, which is crisp, refreshing, and distinctive. It has the aroma profile of Pinot Gris from Friuli but the richness of Alsace, without losing its Willamette Valley delicacy and nerve. Sip it with parmesan stuffed mushroom appetizers or enjoy alongside creamy white meats or pasta dishes, but there's no reason to rush as this should only get more and more complex with time.
Price: $16.99
2011 Evesham Wood Willamette Valley Grüner Veltliner
Review Date: 9-28-2012
What a surprise and delight! This dry, crisp refreshing Gruner Veltliner shows varietal typicity in the form of tropical citrusy and green apple aromas and flavors, with peachy notes accented by white pepper and dandelion. It has lots of lift and drive, finishing with a minerality and length. Like its Austrian counterpart, this is an extremely versatile style of white wine that can pair with the trickiest of dishes. I recently had a farm fresh interpretation of caponata with baby artichokes instead of eggplant, and fresh heirloom tomatoes tosssed with capers, peppers, and spicy olive oil on a bed of romaine lettuces, and a wine like this would have complemented the unique combination of flavors of the dish perfectly. This is also a smart choice for sushi.
