The Atmosphere Will Be Lively

The Thanksgiving party may be over - and the leftovers are just about gone, but now it is time to get down to business.

Special items have started to arrive for the holidays.
The big names from California, the iconic names from Europe and South America. They are all on our shelves now. There is very limited availability on some of these items - Here are just a few.

El Nido - Rated 96 Points - Robert Parker:"Deep, bright ruby. Powerful aromas of blackberry, blueberry, smoky herbs, potpourri and Asians spices. Weighty dark berry flavors display a liqueur-like depth, with zesty minerality providing lift and velvety tannins adding support. Manages to be large-scaled and lithe at once, finishing with real cut and clarity. This seamless wine is delicious now, and I'd be inclined to drink it young for its alluring, vivacious fruit."

One of the most sought after and famous wines from Spain. It is seriously hard to find. In a beautiful gift box this is a true collectors item - ready to enjoy young, but if you have the patience it will reward you and your friends in 10-15 years. First Come First Served.

33 Years In The making

Flora Springs TRILOGY

Rated 94 Points The Wine Enthusiast:

"The 2009 Trilogy possesses all the attributes that make Trilogy so great - Ripe berries, allspice, white chocolate, espresso and black currant.  

Three varietals merge together to form a beautiful balanced lush wine that makes you just want to have one more sip. The Merlot brings out the red fruits, while the Cabernet and Malbec are responsible for the black fruits.  

We are proud to say that after 33 years of winemaking and 25 years of crafting Trilogy, Flora Springs is still breaking new ground. We credit the consistent organic and sustainable farming practices of our vineyard team as well as the focus and direction of our winemaker, Paul Steinauer."

Critical Acclaim:

"A lovely wine, soft and charming, but far from simple. Although it has complex layers of cherries, blackberries, cassis and cedar, it also shows a fine structure of ripe, smooth tannins and supporting acidity."

We had a full case on Wednesday we are down to 4-5 bottles. The suggested price is $75 - it is on our shelf for 60. A great gift for the holidays.
