Herbert Pazen’06 Riesling – Germany
The fresh and balanced taste profile of this Riesling is achieved by carefully selecting grapes from vineyards throughout the Mosel. The steep blue slate slopes of the Lower Mosel give the wine its minerality while the middle Mosel provides a hint of spiciness to complement the characteristic fresh peach flavors of the Upper Mosel. Pairs with spicy foods, sushi, fish, poultry and pork. Also compliments sweet or full-bodied cheeses and fruit desserts
Steininger Grand Gru Gruner Veltliner – Austria
The grape Gruner Veltliner may be Austria’s truest contribution to the wine world. This wine was named after the architect who designed the Loisium (a sort of wine museum for the town of Langenlois), and showcases everything Austrian wines can be; dry, complex, food worthy, and downright exciting. Golden yellow color, with extraordinary rich nuances of spice, peaces and pears.
Corte Giara ’06 Pinot Grigio – Italy

Jean-Luc Colombo ’05 Cotes du Rhône – France
“2005 Jean-Luc Colombo Les Abeilles Cotes du Rhône is a star. Its aroma is potent, with lots of black fruit along with earth, spice and a meaty note. It's just delicious to drink, with a flood of blackberry and black currant, some earthy notes, spice that intensifies on the mid-palate, a medium body and tannins that announce their presence but are not overwhelming.” -The San Francisco Chronicle
Campos Reales ’07 Tempranillo – Spain
“Bright purple. Primary dark berry aromas are complemented by licorice and dark chocolate. Straightforward and a bit youthfully grapey, with sweet blackberry and cassis flavors, supple texture and a late candied floral quality. This became firmer with air but is in no way hard. Very easy to drink and a ridiculous value. 88 Points." -Stephen Tanzer, The International Wine Cellar
Dow’s ’92 Colheita Port – Portugal
Dow’s 1992 Colheita has a bright tawny color with an amber rim. On the nose sweet aromas of crystallized fruits combined with subtle vanilla notes from the cask aging. On the palate very fresh and lively with excellent nutty flavors and a long finish.
