Benziger Chardonnay 2011    ($12.99 During Tasting)

• Has well-developed flavors, from long hang times that the cool growing season allowed. This vibrant, engaging wine is bursting with mouth-watering fruit and lively acid. Flavors of lemon, apple, pear and apricot pop on the palate, before subtle, creamy butter and meringue notes and a luscious, refreshing finish.

Patton Valley Pinot Noir 2012   ($19.99 During Tasting)

• Aromas of graphite, cherry crumble, coriander and rose petals grace the expressive bouquet of this Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. On the palate this wine exhibits flavors of brown sugar, red cherry and citrus rind with big, yet soft tannins. The wine finishes with a touch of acidity and a rich mouthfeel.”

Morgon Gamay 2005   ($21.99 During Tasting)

• A product of Burgundy, Beaujolais, notably Morgon and Moulin à Vent, can taste more and more like Pinot as they age, even though they are made exclusively from Gamay grapes.  This vintage offers aromas of blackcurrant and raspberry, leading to pleasing fullness on the palate.

Tilia Bonardo 2011   ($10.99 During Tasting)

• The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and very good weight. There is an underlying minerality here, a sense of symmetry that is very satisfying. Light on its feet and pretty on the saline-tinged finish, this is a superb Argentine Bonarda.

Poggio Bonelli Tramonto 2005   ($42.99 During Tasting)

• The intense and persistent bouquet of red jams and spices (pepper, cinnamon) gives way to hints of tobacco and cocoa. Powerful tannins on the palate. Warm and savory on the finish. 85% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot.

Their wines consistently score high ratings and are reasonably priced and we’ll share them with you this weekend. We’ll have some Casas Del Bosque representatives joining us to share their knowledge of these excellent wines, including a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Please join us. – Bill Callahan
