White Wines and Champagnes
Anton Bauer Gruner Veltliner Reserve 2009 (Austria)
Lovely mix of fruit and spice in the bouquet, multi-layered, nutty – peppery, the palate impresses with a racy, piquant play between fruit acid typical for this vintage
– agile, pithy and powerful - and a dialogue of fruit and spice; harmonious and exciting.
Casteller Cava Brut (Spain)
** Top sellers
Dry, crisp, clean and refreshing. Hints of lime and
other citrus, as well as green apple, with a light and delicate finish. Made of 40% Macabeo, 40% Parellada, and 20% Xarello. A staff favorite!
ChD’Esclans Whispering Angel Rose 2010 (France)
“Reticent aromas of orange zest, herbs and honeysuckle are energized by white pepper. Dry and nervy, offering dusty citrus and berry skin flavors, this is made from a kitchen sink blend of southern French varieties.”
Girard Chardonnay 2009 (California - 2009)
The French oak aging offers up wonderful aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, vanilla and crème brûlée. On the palate, there's a rich, creamy texture from sur lie aging
that's balanced with surprising acidity that enables the wine to pair very well with pork, chicken, fish and salads or to enjoy on its own.
Hillinger Secco Sparkling Rose (Austria) - Top Sellers
100% Pinot Noir crafted into a sparkling rose wine made in the ProSecco style. It has delicate aromas
of fresh strawberries and red berries which follow through on the palate. Flavors are beautifully balanced with a vibrant and refreshingly dry
finish.
Tamas Pinot Grigio Central Coast 2009 (California)
“Aromas
and flavors of green apple and citrus, complemented by a hint of mineral to create an adventurously crisp and refreshing white wine. Aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its
crisp, fruity character.”
Valle Reale Trebbiano D-Abruzzo Nuove 2009 (Italy)
88 Points from The Wine Advocate. Textured white from Valle Reale. Bright citrus, grapefruit, mint and minerals come through nicely in a crisp, refreshing style suited to near-term drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2010–2012
Yllum Torrontes 2009 (Argentina) ** Top sellers
"Grown in the Salta Province of Argentina located in the mountainous region in the North, the highest growing region in the
country. Reminiscent of roses and violets with a touch of citric fruit and notes of peach. The taste is light citrus, tart and clean with a light-bodied and refreshing finish.”
Zaca Mesa Viognior 2009 (California)
“Bright yellow-gold. Classic peachy, spicy, floral viognier aromas…sweet,
creamy and expansive, with a velvety texture and lush pit fruit flavors. Spreads out impressively and really stains
the palate on the aftertaste, which shows a touch of warmth. Bright acidity and a kiss of white pepper
give this rich wine welcome cut and energy.” 87 Pts. Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar
