Le Grande Courtage Blanc de Blancs Brut 19.99/750 ml.
Winery notes: "Fragrant with aromas of Granny Smith apples, honeysuckle, strawberry and toasted brioche. Perfect balance of fruit, acidity, and sweetness. Lingers nicely with a bit of Meyer lemon, honeydew and continuing apple finish. Great length, clean with a pleasant hint of yeast on the refreshing finish. Chardonnay imparts depth and complexity for the overall balance while Chenin Blanc lends citrus and hints of honey for a creamy texture.

Try it with savory hors d'oeuvres, buttered Popcorn, creamy pasta, mushroom or egg dishes, seafood, spicy Asian dishes, fruit based desserts or semi-soft cheese. A versatile accompaniment that is very cuisine-friendly. Appellation: France - Loire Valley, Limoux, Gers, Charentes"

Martin Codax Rias Baixas Albarino 2010 13.99/750 ml.
Winery notes: "Produced under the stringent rules of the Ri­as Baixas Denominacion de Origen (DO), Marti­n Codax Albarino is thoroughly food friendly, and designed to be consumed young. This is an aromatic wine, elegant, dry and crisp on the finish. The key aromatic and flavor notes are pear, passion fruit and apple. Acidity is bright and integrates well with aromatic elements into a balanced whole. Albarino stands on its own as an aperitif but reaches its glory stage when matched with food. This is not only because of the firm acidity, but also because of the wine's mouth-engaging fullness.

Ferrari-Carano PreVail West Face Alexander Valley Red 2006 29.99/750 ml.
Robert Parker 91-94 points. Tasting notes: "A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, the wine shows more opulence, low acidity, and rich, concentrated fruit with a heady concoction of licorice, pepper, black currant, and tapenade. The wine provides some of the dusty, loamy soil notes that are no doubt a character of the Alexander Valley hillsides, with plenty of power, but also much more up-front fruit and a softer, more velvety style than the 2005. This fleshy wine should drink nicely for 10 - 12 years." Winery notes: "At merely 2.75 tons per acre, the grapes for West Face are grown on the steep slopes of Ferrari-Carano’s LookOut Mountain which sits at the junction of Alexander Valley, Knights Valley and Chalk Hill appellations. This spectacular mountain vineyard boasts 360 degree views, soaring in elevation from 500 to 1,400 feet, with soils deep, red and rich with nutrients. Dark, concentrated aromas of blackberry syrup, baking spices and toasted oak surround flavors of warm berry pie, butterscotch and milk chocolate.

Joel Gott Monterey Unoaked Chardonnay 2010 14.99/750 ml.
Winery notes: "Our Monterey Chardonnay is fermented in stainless steel, keeping the wine clean and crisp—just like our favorite Chablis. The cool, breezy weather of Monterey Bay allows for a longer period of maturation which allows the grapes more time to develop classic varietal characteristics. The climate produces a Chardonnay with aromas of orange blossom, green apple, and citrus and with a bright acid structure. The vineyards of Monterey consistently provide ideal fruit and exemplify our winemaking goal: a natural balance between sugar and acidity. Because of the low yields from this vintage, the fruit had intensified aromas and flavors, creating a more full-bodied, weighty wine."

Milbrandt Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 13.99/750 ml.
Winery notes: "Our 2008 Traditions epitomizes Eastern Washington Cabernet. It is dark, harmonious and complex with black cherry, plum, cassis, vanilla, spicy oak, chocolate, dried herbs and a whiff of mint. While it is soft on the palate there are enough fine-grained tannins to lend an approachable, velvety structure. Open a bottle with roasted meats, stews, lamb kebabs, cassoulet, hamburgers, barbecue, ribs, sloppy joes, tacos or pizza. Composition: 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, and 4% Malbec."

Marilyn Sauvignon Blonde 2010 14.99/750 ml.
Winery notes: "The label of Sauvignon Blonde 2010 features perhaps the best-known image of Marilyn Monroe. It is the scene in The Seven-Year Itch where she is standing on a New York City subway grate when a passing train sends up a breeze that billows her dress.
