Wines We Love with Our Food
Diseno Torrontes -- Salta, Argentina 2010
Explosive bouquet of apricots and tropical fruit. Citrus fruit flavors that unfold on the palate with unexpected minerality.
Lioco "Durell Vineyard" Chardonnay -- Sonoma 2008
Un-oaked. Pear and peach are complemented by sweet honeysuckle. A lot going on with this wine, as the finish just goes and goes. The food possibilities are endless. One of our favorites.
Scholium Project "Naucratis" Verdelho -- California 2009
Beautiful nose of honeysuckle, peach and wet stone. Hints of sweet flowers carry onover the gravelly minerality. A burst of citrus zest. Great with shellfish, seafood and even our turtle soup.
Robert Foley Semillion -- Napa 2010
Light-bodied, balanced and very food friendly. Anjou pear with hints of stony minerality and apple. A very nice wine to try with many of our seafood dishes.
Bodegas Numanthia "Numanthia" -- Toro, Sain 2007
Tempranillo ripe blackberry and currant with toast, chocolate and oak flavors. A smokey finish with a subtle mineral note.
Chehalem "Ridgecrest" Pinot Noir -- Willamette Valley 2009
Lovely, well-balanced cranberry, raspberry and black cherry with forest floor notes. Silky and medium bodied over the palate, with pleasing finish.
Copain "Alder Springs" Syrah -- Mendocino, California 2007
Complex fragrant nose that just oozes meat, pepper, violets and slightly candied currants. Palate has a strong fruit component with very dark berries, allspice, vanilla and hints of smoke. Steak or chops.
Brick House Gamay Noir -- Williamette Valley, Oregon 2010
Light and juicy. Intense, pure and fragrant. Redolent of ripe strawberries. Try it with quail, rabbit or duck.
Bertani Valpolicella -- Veneto, Italy 2009
Debut vintage. Corvina and Rondinella. Strong aromas of plum, cherry, raspberry and spice. Deep ruby red color with a well-rounded and long finish.
