Franck Bonville "Brut Selection" Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Review Date: 12-29-2011
The picture of elegance and class. Such pure and clean lines, a touch of citrus, a hit of minerality all delivered effortlessly on a find bead and sensuous mouth feel. One of my annual holliday favorites and sure to please any Champagne snob that might haunt your gatherings.

Michel Loriot "Selection" Extra Brut Champagne
Review Date: 11-30-2011
On Mr. Westby's advice I opened this bottle with sushi from our favorite place, my goodness did his reccomendation not dissapoint. This Champange is pure, clean, almost peircing, and so elegant that it married beautifully with the delicate fish.

2006 Michel Loriot "Pinot Meunier Vieilles Vignes" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 11-30-2011
Mr. Loriot has continued to impress all of us here at K&L with his stunning Champagne. His old vine Meunier is astonishingly rich and complex but that richness is so perfectly balanced with notes of citrus and mineral that round this wine out to be somethign very special indeed. Depth, complexity and freshness all wrapped up in one beautiful glass of bubbles.
Price: $49.99
Fleury Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 11-30-2011
Not just a pretty face, the Fleury Rose is the complete package. From one of my favorite producers in our DI portfolio, this Rose is stunningly good. Elegantly powerful, nuanced and pretty.

2008 Miguel Merino "Viñas Jovenes" Crianza Rioja
Review Date: 11-29-2011
Each offering that I have tried from Miguel Merino has been very stylistically correct, and extremely well crafted, this wine is no exception. This wine offeres a nuanced balance of fruit, oak, and spice. His Crianza strikes a balance between new and old world approaches in Rioja and does so seemlessly.
Price: $19.99
2009 Ferrero Rosso di Montalcino
Review Date: 11-29-2011
This wine is for Sangiovese lovers and novices alike. It has plenty of rich lush fruit upfron to please many California centered palates, but also a touch of earth and spice that Italian wine drinkers have come to love.
Price: $15.99
Deligeroy Cremant de Loire Brut
Review Date: 10-31-2011
Beautifully elegent and refreshing, this bubbly brings a festive tone to any gathering without dragging a price tag along

2005 Miguel Merino Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 10-30-2011
I love the approach that Merino takes to his wines, a great mix of new world and traditional approaches. There is rich fruit to this wine, dark cherry, rich black berry, but also savory notes of leather and spice.
2004 Miguel Merino Gran Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 10-30-2011
I was so excited to try the new direct imports from Miguel Merino that Joe brought in this summer. They have been simply fantastic to drink through. The Grand Reserva is from vines planted in the 1940's, it is dense, complex and beautifully fruited. If you open this now, decant it and serve it along side something grilled, and enjoy!
Price: $39.99
Fluteau "Cuvee Reserve" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 10-30-2011
The complexity and depth of this wine made a great impression on myself and my family the night we opened this. Lots of fruit from the Pinot, a touch of toast and spice from the extended lees time, this bottle of bubbly is intruiging and delicious.
Price: $29.99
2006 Fluteau "Cuvée Prestige" Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Review Date: 10-30-2011
I have been so impressed with Mr. Westby's new line of direct imports from Fluteau, these wines are rich and balanced and a joy to drink.Rich and full this Blanc De Blanc really delivers

2009 Sequoia Grove Carneros Napa Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 9-29-2011
This is California Chardonnay with grace and balance. Citrus, orange and lemon, but a touch of richness that delves into lemon curd, a kiss of oak to add texture and depth, with acidity that is well integrated and seamless.
Price: $14.99
Fluteau Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 9-29-2011
Taking Mr. Westby’s advice, I had a glass of this at the beginning of my evening with cold cuts, bread and cheese, managed to show some semblance of will power and managed to save half a bottle to enjoy with dessert. Both pairings were superb, this dark and powerful Rose is deep and brooding and offers quite the array of options.
Price: $34.99
Sorelle Bronca Prosecco
Review Date: 9-29-2011
Perfectly crisp and refreshing,this Prosecco delivers a festive drink that is a certain people pleaser
Price: $16.99
Ariston Aspasie "Carte Blanche" Brut Champagne (375ml)
Review Date: 9-27-2011
Wonderfully balanced bubbles for a wonderfully balanced price tag. The Carte Blanche is my most often used excuse to open bubble just for the sake of having a glass of Champagne, there are always a couple of bottles stashed away around my house. Powerfully elegant, with toasted nutty notes and a length on the finish that reasserts why I love this wine.
Price: $15.99
