Argyle, Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon 2011
$37.00
Youth in a glass is what this is, spry and light on its feet and smelling of spring with lime blossom, white lilacs and just a hint of lychee.

Kilikanoon Mort's Block, Clare Valley, Australia 2009 $34
34.00

$Sauvignon Blanc
Tablelands, Martinborough New Zealand 2011
$30.00

Allan Scott, Marlborough, New Zealand 2012
$30.00
The aromatics are distinctly tropical, the initial sweet passion fruit then gives way to hints of lime, classic gooseberry, and dried herbs.

45.00
This is everything one hopes for when thinking about Sancerre: it is bright, lively, pleasantly aromatic, has zippy acidity but low astringency. Pale yellow. Fresh pear and orange on the nose. Pliant, refreshingly bitter citrus fruit flavors are firmed by tangy minerality and pick up a light herbal quality with air. Appealingly sweet on the finish, which repeats the orange and herb notes. It is a wonderful food wine that is as versatile as it is easy to drink.
$Pinot Grigio
Blue Quail, Potter Valley, California 2011
$25.00

Evesham Woods, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2011
$33.00

Maso Poli, Trinteno, Italy 2011
$40.00
This luminous Pinot Grigio offers a beautifully perfumed bouquet as well as structure and staying power. An open, floral bouquet leads to ripe, round fruit as this gorgeous white caresses the palate all the way through to the harmonious, polished finish.

Force of Nature Pinot Gris, Santa Maria Valley, California 2012 $42
42.00
Delicate yet flavorful, light golden in color with a complex, fruit-scented nose that reveals layers of mango, jasmine tea, cinnamon, and cantaloupe. Smooth, smoky toasted walnut and honey balance the fruits, and give way to a crisp, lingering finish full of freshly cut grass and peaches.
$Chardonnay
Freemark Abbey Chardonnay, Napa Valley, California 2011 $35
$35.00
This Chardonnay exhibits ripe fruit aromas of banana, apple and pear, coupled with tropical fruits. Adding to the complexity, the oak aging is fairly integrated adding spice, like nutmeg, vanilla and fresh coconut with a slight butterscotch. This wine has great viscosity, depth and an intriguing minerality. The flavors on the palate are predominantly citrus, lemon-lime and peach.
Domaine des Gerbeaux Pouilly Fuisse, Burgundy, France 2011
$45.00
Not to be confused with Pouilly-Fumé from the Loire Valley (made from Sauvignon Blanc), Pouilly- Fuissé is firmly Burgundian and made from 100% Chardonnay.

Gorgeous acidity adds to the fresh, elegant and age-worthy character of this Chardonnay.
Elizabeth Spencer, Sonoma, California 2012
$58.00
This wine is very mineral in the nose, with a hint of candied pear and lemon peel. Although lean, the entry is defined by a suggestion of tropical fruits, including pineapple and kiwi. There is a delicate zing to the midpalate that is reminiscent of pineapple rind. The finish persists with the sweetness of warm climate fruit, green apple and pear notes.
Frank Family Winery Carneros, Napa Valley, California 2012
$65.00
This polished, refined Chardonnay does an excellent job of capturing a wide spectrum of varietal flavors in a style that combines elements of brightness and richness. Fruit forward and balanced, delivering scents of pear, apple, butterscotch and pineapple, laced with delicate floral notes of honeysuckle.

The lively acidity, combined with a rich creaminess and almond toffee flavors, give this wine a long, pleasing finish.
Flowers, Sonoma Coast, California 2008
$70.00
This is a chardonnay of balanced depth and complexity with a crisp acidity. Medium bodied with aromas of white peach and lime citrus. Stone minerals and luscious melon equally contend for attention in this mouth filling and delicious wine, while the lean acidity refreshes the palate.
Patz & Hall Dutton Ranch, Russian River Valley, California 2010
$75.00
In broad strokes, there is beautiful freshness to this wine, with clearly delineated vineyard character. At the same time, the modest crop size in 2010 has contributed to amazing concentration, spotlighting notes of spiced tropical peach, pear, honeydew, clove and narcissus. The mid-palate is vibrant and bright, combining delicate, mouthwatering acidity with rich fruit, all surrounded by subtle, oak-inspired notes of cinnamon, spiced toffee and roasted almonds.
Matrot Meursault, Burgundy, France 2010
$78.00
The Matrot family has owned vineyards in Meursault for three generations. Thierry Matrot has used every possible organic technique in the cultivation of his vines. As a result, the domain's wines have a purity, character and a genuine sense of terroir. A buttered toast nose, with a little bit of oak and some hazelnut-flavored fruit. Quite explosive for a village wine, quite floral with a good balance of racy acidity and meaty fruit, with a rum butter finish.
Signorello Estate, Napa Valley, California 2007
84.00
The 2007 Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes is fashioned from 30-year old Chardonnay vines planted along the Silverado Trail.

The grapes are carefully hand-picked in small baskets, a blend of Chenin (60%) and Chardonnay (40%) for a better balance and richness. Slightly blush in color with notes of honey and crab apple.

Cameron "Giovanni" Pinot Blanc, Dundee, Oregon 2011
$33.00
Since 1984, Cameron Winery has fanatically produced sustainably farmed, non-irrigated pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot bianco from the Red Hills of Dundee, Oregon. The 2011 has a racy acidity of fresh lime, citrus peel, and a clean, pure finish. This year's Giovanni, normally 100% Pinot blanc, has been blended with 20% Pinot Grigio. The addition of a little pinot grigio gives the pinot blanc more weight to the wine, but fear not, it is still very refreshing.

$39.00

Broadbent Madeira Colheita, Madeira, Portugal 1996
$9.00
Lighter and brighter in color and flavor than longer-aged wines. A pre-dinner sipper as well as an excellent introduction to Madeira. According to the importer, this is the first Colheita to be introduced in America. Smooth in the mouth with a great balance of citrus acidity to keep the sweet fruit in check. The mélange of walnut, orange zest and raisins provide for a bit of complexity.

Feist 10 year Tawny Port, Portugal, NV

Quinta Do Infantado Ruby Port, Douro Valley, Portugal NV
$6.00
Estate-bottled, a rarity in fortified wines exported from the Duoro. Joao and Catherine Rosiera run this family's estate in the heart of Gontelho, a region known for the quality of its wine. The fruit of their steep, terraced vineyards is still foot-trodden, a sign of just how serious the commitment to traditional methods is at Quinta do Infantado. Elegant and rich, this dark, juicy port has an excellent balance of fruit, acid, sugar, and tannin. Not too sweet and not too big, an excellent introduction to the world of port.

Château de Caladroy, Muscat de Rivesaltes Languedoc, France 2010
6.00
A sweet, yet light, dessert wine, the aromas explode with floral notes of orange blossom and ripe peaches. On the palate creaminess and freshness are perfectly balanced to please the taste buds.
