Saturday

Educated Guess Napa Cab (Ca) Approachable and mouthwatering, this generous wine delivers flavors of black fruits layered with musk and oak spices. Supple tannins are carried by bright acidity into a long finish- Wine Spectator $27.99

Ferrari Rose’ 375 ML (Italy) Nose: Refined hints of wild strawberries and redcurrants, with a fresh sensation of hawthorn flowers, underpinned by a delicate note of crusty bread deriving from its more than 20 months’ aging on the yeasts. Taste: Fresh and fruity, with a touch of mellowness: the flavor of sweet almonds is supported by an acidulous vein that is extraordinarily appealing. $22.99

J.Lohr Pinot Noir (Monterey) Showcases the spicy strawberry character that is a hallmark of Monterey County Pinot Noir. Bright berry and watermelon fruit notes meld with clove and sagebrush on the nose. Delicate tannins on the mid-palate are complemented by dried cherry, black tea, and umami on the finish. $18.99

Willm Gentil (Alsace) The name Gentil indicates a blend of at least 50% Alsace noble varietals (Riesling, Pinot Gris, Muscat or Gewurztraminer). Maison Willm prefers using 80-90% of these noble varietals and completes the blend with Pinot Blanc for supple fruitiness. This way, the Gentil Willm offers a frank attack and, in the mouth is fresh, elegant, well-structured, and harmonious. Pairs well with chicken pot pie. $14.99

Gruet Blanc De Noir (New Mexico) Mature, with good richness and complexity built around a core of earthy pear, spice and hazelnut flavors. Finishes with a nice dry aftertaste. Pale salmon in color, this full-bodied wine had a fine mousse and a creamy, rich texture. Complex aromas and flavors of raspberry, baked pear and cherry are complemented by a hint of toasted vanilla. The balance of fruit, minerals and crisp acidity lead to a round mouthfeel and lasting finish. $18.99
