Gruet Rose Brut $18
Here's a lovely choice for Valentine's day - a dry, pink "Methode Champenoise" from the Gruet vineyards located on the limestone ridges of Albequerque, New Mexico. They say: "This nearly garnet Rose, like all our non-vintage sparkling wines, is aged 24 months en tirage. It has a lovely, bright floral bouquet with hints of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. On the palate, it is rich and fruity in a dry, Brut style. The flavor of berries continues on the palate, revealing more strawberry, raspberry, cherry. This sparkler is lots of fun and very festive, but production is limited to 5000 cases per year, so don't miss out!" Yes - you read right - TWO YEARS on the lees for an $18 bottle. Even famous Champagnes with orange labels don't bother with that any more...
Santa Carolina Pinot Noir Reserva 2007 $14
We're happy to introduce to you the quality wines of Santa Carolina, from the Colchagua Valley of Chile. First off - their Pinot Noir: Wild berry toned Pinot at a great price. Reserva Pinot Noir has a perfectly integrated palate and a long finish.
Santa Carolina Cabernet Sauvignon Reerva 2007 $14
And here is their Cab: "This Cabernet Sauvignon has a bright vivid ruby red colour. It features ripe cherry and black currant with chocolate and pepper aroma, enhanced by sweet spices and vanilla and cinnamon notes. On the palate, this dry and full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon offers a perfect balance between fruit and oak, ripe and soft tannins and a lingering finish."
Domaine Faillenc Sainte Marie Corbieres 2006 $20
This is not the current vintage. We've always loved this wine, then the '06 came and after a sip, we pulled it off the shelf. WHY? Not just brambly or wild tasting, but downright thorny and difficult! I mean, we adore serious French wine, but this just needed to chill out in the cellar. So it did - for 18 months. NOW? Amazing! What a sleeper, a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault - like if Chateauneuf du Pape moved south at a fraction of the price. We might have a case left. We don't even want to share it, but we will - with you! Happy Valentine's Day.

Mr. Thomas Lochem made a surprise visit to the store and held court in the lounge answering questions and handing out samples of his amazing cigars like they were CANDY.
Thank You Tomas!
Cain Full Ligeros
From the creator of "Nubs" Sam Leccia. This is a very full bodied cigar - but somehow he made it as smooth as silk. First come, first served.
