CLASSICS

We’ve selected this trio of wine classics to ensure enjoyment by this gift’s recipient.

The Montoya Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 from Napa is a stunning example of what great things are happening in California’s finest growing area. The Cherrier & Fils Sancerre Blanc 2006 from France’s Loire Valley is a lively and crisp Sauvignon Blanc that is a huge hit among our clientele. Italy could not be better represented than by the Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva 2003 — considered by many to be Chianti’s preeminent producer. What an impressive gift!

OUR FAVORITE THINGS

We’ve surveyed our staff and our customers to come up with this tasty threesome of our favorite wines.

The big yet smooth Hope Estate Shiraz 2006 is Anje Schaefer’s “house red” (because it brings back fond memories of Australia, and it’s so good). From Chile the Lapostolle Merlot 2005 is George Schaefer’s choice for a complex, medium-bodied red. Recently added Helios Chardonnay 2006 from Santa Barbara has become an instant hit with customers and staff alike.

Any lover of wines will be thrilled with this trio.

TEMPTING TRIO

This lovely trio of wines is so tempting you’ll want to buy one for yourself as well as for the favorites on your gift list.

Turn to the Loire Valley in France to find the epitome of Sauvignon Blanc, the elegant and deliciously refined Chatelain Pouilly Fumé 2006. Meanwhile, a pioneer of the Carneros region, Domaine Chandon Pinot Noir 2005 delivers exceptional fruit and silky texture, and we regard it as one of the finest. Our third choice is a Tuscan superstar, the Caparzo Rosso di Montalcino 2005: with Sangiovese in its most classic styling, it is a youthful, easy-to-love Italian red for the finest of occasions.

THE CONNOISSEUR

The connoisseur on your gift list is certain to be impressed by your exquisite taste and your generosity in making this selection.

Laurent Perrier “L.P.” Brut is the most popular Champagne among our very discriminating clientele. A great bottle to celebrate with! From Napa Valley comes a meticulously selected and artistically crafted Merlot by Calistoga Cellars with all the depth and spirit that defines the area. And finally, from the finest vineyards in Portugal comes a distinguished Boardroom Tawny Port from Dow’s maturing stock of particularly fine lots. Displaying the famous house style, Boardroom is silky with delicate raisiny fruit flavor and nuttiness.

Give this only to someone you know appreciates the best.
