Chateau Ste Michelle Canoe Ridge Estate Merlot
Built for the long haul, this rich red leads with suave oak scents. With air, the oak relents and a rich, dark cherry-skin fruit core emerges, accented by tobacco and tar, generous yet reined in by mineral tannins. Give it time to integrate, then serve with steak. 91 Points Wine & Spirits #60 on Marketview's 2012 Top 100

Edna Valley Sauvignon Blanc
The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc exhibits pungent, earthy, grassy notes along with hints of melon and other tropical fruits in addition to a serious texture for a Sauvignon. Not surprisingly, 15% of it was barrel-fermented in neutral French oak. This is a Sauvignon Blanc for those readers who enjoy the exotic, personality-filled characteristics of this grape." 88 Points Robert Parker

Hogue Cellars Gewurztraminer
True to its name, our Gewurztraminer offers up varietal spiciness, along with intense aromas and flavors of lychee, apricot, peach, and citrusy notes of orange and lemon-lime. Soft and rich, with a balancing acidity and a slight mineral character, Gewurztraminer is excellent as an aperitif. Serve with Thai spring rolls, sweet and spicy pork lettuce wraps, or roast turkey with all the trimmings. 89 Points & Best Value Wine Spectator
