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.

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.

2010 Kooyong "Massale" Pinot Noir Mornigton Peninsula Victoria
Review Date: 8-22-2012
Here is a $30 Pinot worth the money. Many people dismiss Australia as too hot for Pinot Noir, but Australia is such an enormous country with tremendous diversity in microclimates (not to mention some of the most ancient soils in the world) that it shouldn't surprise you to learn that under the right conditions, excellent Pinot is grown and produced here. The places to look are the cool climate zones like Mornington Peninsula. With a complex nose of spicy red fruits and crunchy berries mixed with clove, forest floor, and a hint of citrus peel on the nose, the 2010 Kooyong Massale Pinot is indeed alluring. Fruit density is matched with acid structure on the palate, for a layered, well-balanced Pinot that hits all the marks and leaves a lasting impression. This could easily give your $30 Savigny-les-Beaune a run for the money.

2011 Reyneke Sauvignon Blanc Stellenbosch
Review Date: 8-22-2012
This 100% organic/biodynamic Sauvignon Blanc sees some time in neutral barrels, adding richness and depth for a sophisticated style with the texture of a white Bordeaux but freshness and flavor intensity of a Marlborough NZ Sauv Blanc. Citrus and delicate graassy aromas lead in the nose, followed by a creamy palate with finely structured acidity and a clean finish. A really elegant expression of Sauvignon Blanc.

Fluteau Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne
Review Date: 8-8-2012
This delicious, crisp Blanc de Noirs is 100% Pinot Noir, made in all stainless steel with no malo. Aromas of fresh apples and honey lead in the nose, with nutty lees and spice accents on the palate. It's refreshing and bright, with a focused finish. Exactly the kind of palate-whetting style I like to get kick off the evening.

2005 Michel Loriot Vintage Brut Champagne
Review Date: 8-8-2012
This vintage Champagne made from 80% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay shows the richness of the 2005 vintage without losing balance and structure. Aged for 5-6 years on the lees, it is open and inviting with aromas of lemon fig, graham cracker, honey, sweet cream, and hazelnut. The mousse is full and creamy, and the flavors mingle delightfully on the palate, with varying sweet and savory accents adding layers of complexity. This has all the richness and flavor development to satisfy the Clicquot set while simultaneously winning approval from even the geekiest of wine geeks (read: Joe, Gary). Enjoy tonight, for a special occasion or any occasion!

2010 Ruggeri Corsini Nebbiolo Langhe
Review Date: 8-7-2012
Nebbiolo can be hard to approach. The tendency is to start with the more well-known wines of Barolo with high expectations, only to open the wine too young and be left disappointed, wondering what all the fuss is about. Here is key to unlock what the fuss is about. This "entry level" Nebbiolo from Ruggeri Corsini offers the classic Nebbiolo pure cherry fruit and floral expression, subtle spice, hints of iron-like minerality, and firm, noble tannins. Its intent is for drinking in the near term, but one taste and you can see its aging potential. Decant, and serve with a simple mushroom risotto. As the wine opens and interacts with the aromas and flavors of the food, Nebbiolo's magic will be revealed to you while leaving a lasting impression on your palate. You will need lots of these to have on hand to drink while you wait the 25+ years for the higher end Barolos you inevitably will purchase to reach their time. Most of the K&L staff have this wine by the case in their personal cellars.

2011 Arregi Getariako Txakolina
Review Date: 7-9-2012
Easily, this is one of my top 10 wines of the summer 2012 season. In this wine, textbook Txakoli meets the ideal light-bodied summer white wine in the most refreshing, user-friendly way. Its raciness is balanced by uber-juicy citrus flavors, and its got minerals aplenty as it should, but wihtout being too austere or sharp. I love the fact that it's only 11% abv too. There's so many dishes this will complement - just think back to your trip to San Sebastian and all the fabulous pinxos you enjoyed with the local white wine...it does oysters as well as it does grilled sausages, finishing on all accounts with an invigorating zip. Highly recommended!

Germain Gilabert Cava Brut Rosado
Review Date: 7-9-2012
This delicious rose Cava is bursting with flavor and fun. It's lively, fresh, and fruity - chock full of juicy raspberry and strawberry aromas and flavors - with a tongue-tingling, frothy mousse and a dry, crisp finish (due to zero added dosage). This is the ultimate picnic or party rose, with genuine food and palate-friendly appeal. Made totally naturally from organically farmed vineyards in the Penedes and vinified according to the traditional method, you can check your cava headache fears at the door and join the party knowing that there is nothing but good times in this bottle!

Campo de Encanto Pisco de Peru 750ml
Review Date: 6-28-2012
From Peru’s Ica Valley, this truly is one of the best Piscos on the market today. It is an elegant, creamy and textured ‘Acholado’ style, made from sustainably grown traditional Pisco grape varietals and distilled only once, with absolutely nothing added. Bottled at proof, this Pisco is good enough to enjoy on its own, but its intent is for use in cocktails like the legendary Pisco Sour. My husband and I love this delicious Peruvian cocktail so much, it was the signature drink served at our wedding! Pisco Sour : 2 oz. Pisco, 1 oz. fresh lime juice, .75 oz. simple syrup, 1 egg white. Shake with very little ice or blend. Top with cinnamon or bitters as preferred.
Price: $32.99
Batiste Rhum Agricole 750ml
Review Date: 6-27-2012
This spectacular rum has all the power and complexity that characterizes Rhum Agricole (a rum tradition and style distinctive of the French West Indies) but while they can be a bit wild and herbaceous, Batiste is polished and clean, with no hard edges whatsoever. The superiority of Batiste’s sustainably grown, hand-cut, organic cane and natural processing methods is evident in the fine quality of this Agricole. Sip neat, on the rocks, or in a classic Ti’ Punch: 2 oz. Rhum Agricole, squeeze of half a lime, cane syrup to taste, 1-2 ice cubes (optional).Combine and serve in an old-fashioned glass or tumbler garnished with a lime twist.

Cocchi Aperitivo Americano 750ml
Review Date: 6-6-2012
The Cocchi Americano has been produced according to an all-natural recipe in the Piedmontese town of Asti since 1891. It is a lightly fortified, orange and herb-flavored bitter infusion that not only works wonders in reviving appetite, but will protect against malaria, too. A blend of Moscato d'Asti wine, cinchona bark (which contains the anti-malarial quinine), the roots of gentian flowers and a secret combination of other botanicals, this is a must for anyone interested in a real deal aperitivo. It is considered to be the Italian version of Kina Lillet, the key ingredient in the "Vesper" cocktail James Bond orders in the novel 'Casino Royale'.
Price: $18.99
Jean-Louis Denois Pinot Noir Brut Rosé
Review Date: 5-4-2012
Composed of 100% Pinot Noir, Denois' sparkling rose is made in the traditional method with the same care and attention given his other bruts. Also a direct import, this new rose is a real treat, with juicy strawberry and fresh watermelon aromas and flavors adding a whole new layer of fun to its creamy mousse and delicate honeyed toast foundation. A kiss of framboise adds impact to finish. A delicious and refreshing sparkler, this will complement many foods and bring an inspiring burst of color and flavor to any occasion!

2007 Marguet Père et Fils Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 4-24-2012
We only have a little bit of this intriguing Rose, made from a base of Pinot Noir, fermented with skin contact, and Chardonnay, with a small amount of still Pinot Noir added before bottling, which serves to intensify color and flavor while adding richness, complexity and structure to the wine. If delicate and ethereal are considered "feminine" style descriptors, I'd say this is "masculine", offering a complex array of grounded rhubarb and currant aromas and flavors with clove and spice accents. But gender aside, this Champagne certainly knows itself: it has power, weight, richness and unveering focus, building in intensity clear on through the finish, which persists in cranberry and cassis flavors far longer than one expects. Impressive.
