Provenance Sauvignon Blanc
 Every
once in a while I'll taste a wine that is so "varietally-correct"
I just have to tell everyone to try it. The wine is
Provenance Sauvignon Blanc 2005 from Rutherford
vineyards in the Napa Valley. This elegant and classy dry
white starts with a mild, clean, slightly grassy nose. The
rich, viscous mouth feel is crisp. A wonderful aftertaste that
is herbaceous, but not at all to strong, is refreshing and
light. "93 points. A supple, sumptuous,
caressing style, with a silky texture and layers of rich yet
elegant lemon-lime, ginger, pear and hazelnut. Beautifully
balanced. Deep yet subtle. Refreshing, lively and persistent.
Drink now." - Wine Spectator. Our sale price is only
$16.97 per bottle. Don't miss this one! |
Longbranch Bloody Mary Zinger
 Be
sure to stop by the store this Saturday, March 31, to sample
the Longbranch Bloody Mary Zinger. The
fantastic recipe for this drink was invented by Kitty and Matt
Horne, longtime Wilmette residents. Once you try it you won't
buy anything else. Join us and meet Kitty and Matt between
11 AM and 5 PM for a free sample.
The Longbranch Bloody Mary Zinger sells for $3.99
per liter. |
Colognole Chianti Rufina 2003
If you're looking for a nice, medium-
to light-bodied Chianti for warm weather drinking you should
put at the top of your list the Colognole Chianti
Rufina 2003. This Sangiovese is from the vineyards
just north of
Florence. I enjoy this wine because it
shows more fruit than most Chiantis and it is less acidic.
At $12.97 per bottle it's a perfect red
wine for Spring and Summer sipping. Buy this one by the case.

Mer Soleil Chardonnay is Back in Stock
 Chardonnay
lovers rejoice! One of California 's
best white wines is back in stock. It's the 2004 vintage of
Mer Soleil from Charlie Wagner, II. He
describes this vintage as "stellar" with virtually no risk of
rain during the growing season. He got perfect fruit to work
with. Charlie also calls this wine "layered". Since first
planting this back in 1988 Charlie uses multiple clones of
Chardonnay and the vines are set on three different trellis
systems for maximum fruit ripeness. "Mer Soleil's signature
includes aromas of tropical fruit (mango, honeysuckle and
citrus) with notes of toasted spice (clove and nutmeg). In the
mouth the flavors follow through seamlessly, fulfilling the
promise of the aromas and balancing the ripe fruit with the
acidity that is the hallmark of this cool-climate growing
area. The texture is mouth filling, lush and dense. The finish
is long and polished yet powerful". -- Charlie Wagner, II.
Our sale price is $39.97 per bottle. |
