Red Wine
PORT ClLASSIC: $20.00 OFF - In the Portuguese tradition, this wine is made from a blend of several grape varieties, including grapes indigenous to Southwest Europe. It has intense fruit character and depth of flavor at bottling and customers will be rewarded if they can set some bottles aside for a year or two. The kit produced up to 17.5% alcohol. To elevate the alcohol and be similar as commercial Port, Brandy may be added.

ROSSO GRANDE: $25.00 OFF - The very stylish and also richest Italian red wine boasts a deep ruby-garnet color and spicy oak aroma; it’s bursting with vibrant flavours of ripe berries and black cherries. It is a powerful dry wine with finesse and elegance. Good with barbecued meats, game meats, prime rib, sharp cheeses, as well as steak.

BRUNELLO - ITALIAN: $25.00 OFF - Big hearted and assertive, this deep ruby red wine is blessed with expressive aromas of tobacco, ripe plums and black cherries. The palate offers explosive notes of blackberries, prunes and vanilla.

AMARONE - Italian: $30.00 OFF - This legendary, assertive wine is from the Valpolicella area in Italy. The unique and distinctive character of the full- bodied, deep garnet coloured and richly dried wine is from over 10 pounds of virgin fruit plus 4 pounds of sun-dried red wine grapes. A double dose of untoasted oak, contributes to balance the wine with aging and to tame the natural tannins. Notes of plum, sour cherry, raspberry and vanilla gradually marry with anise, bitter chocolate, coffee, tobacco. Leather and fig tones develop within one year of aging for you to enjoy the truly remarkable Amarone experience that you will not be able to get enough of. Drink to your hearts' content, but only that much, as alcohol levels may exceed 15%.

Port (Orange Chocolate): $20.00 OFF - This rich specialty wine is an intricate mélange of lively flavors that tempt the nose and reward the palate. Rich aromas of dark chocolate are set gracefully against a frame of refreshing citrus and vanilla notes. The palate is endowed with a full-bodied experience and a finely balanced combination of delicious chocolate, hints of orange peel and a medium-sweet finish.

Cab Merlot - Washingtonian: $30.00 OFF - This multiple medal winner is from Bare Ridge Vineyard of Walla Walla Washington. Notes of currant, cherry and plum are backed by hints of black pepper, anise and coffee which typifies the unique Walla Walla profile of intense fruit and spice flavors and aromatics. Two - stage French and Hungarian oaks nicely mellows the tannins and adds a suggestion of toastiness.

Shiraz - Australian: $30.00 OFF - The wine shows a deep crimson color with purple undertones. The up-front aromatics reflect the typical dark fruit notes of blackberry, cherry, and plum. On the background are subtle layers of toast and vanilla from the oak. The aromas continue to the palate creating a soft, rounded expression of the fruits, spice and oak. Tannins are in gentle harmony with the overall impression and create a well defined yet delicate frame for the wine. This Shiraz should be a very food match for a wide range of foods: steaks, braised lamb shanks, pizzas, chili con carne, pastas with tomato-based sauces. The wine is surprisingly approachable even just 12 weeks after pitching the yeast but will continue to develop for 2-3 years.

CAB MALBEC CARMENERE: $25.00 OFF - Strong notes of green pepper, dark fruit and leather define this rich dark wine. Smooth tannins grace the palate followed by blackberries and spice.


White Wine
VERDICCHIO: $25.00 OFF - This award wine has delicate aroma and clean, crisp flavor with a hint of fruit and almonds.

CHARDONNAY(ENP) - Australian: $30.00 OFF - Fermented on a combination of heavy toasted Hungarian oak shavings and lightly toasted American oak chips, this supple and elegant wine boasts rich aromas of honey and tropical fruits with apple, melon and toasted oak notes to tantalize the palate.

Gewurztraminer - German: $25.00 OFF - The unique soil, waterways and cool climate of Germany develop this off-dry wine with robust edge and pronounced spiciness and fruit that defines the wine. The touch of sweetness in the wine marries well with Asian dishes, spicy foods and chicken.

Sauv Blanc (ENP)- N.Z.: $30.00 OFF - Sourced from the Sauvignon Blanc capital of the world, this popular full- bodied white wine of intricate complexity displays tantalizing aromas of tropical fruits and honey against a backdrop of bold citrus notes and touch of mineral.

Port (White Chocolate): $20.00 OFF - The senses are awakened by this thick, honey colored wine and its rich, fruity nose. Hints of toasted hazelnut and vanilla are balanced perfectly by velvety smooth white chocolate. Irresistibly sweet on its own, serve chilled as an after dinner indulgence or try it half and half with tonic water and a slice of lemon over ice as a refreshing cocktail. Especially delicious paired with dark chocolate, hazelnuts or salted cashews.

VIOGNIER PINOT GRIS - AUSTRALIAN: $25.00 OFF - This extremely aromatic white wine opens up with apricots and pear notes. Dry and medium-bodied, it finishes on a refreshing fruit forward note.

Grüner Veltliner - AUSTRIAN: $30.00 OFF - This full-bodied, fruit-driven ancient wine with a creamy texture is from the more than 200 year old Huber Estate in the Traisental region. It has a green - yellow hue. Complex aromatics are reminiscent of apple, pear, grapefruit, honeydew, honeysuckle, banana and peach. As a member of the Traminer cépage, has an enticing spiciness that makes it perhaps the most versatile food wine in the world. It even pairs well with the food that generally destroys lesser wines, such as artichoke and asparagus. After a couple months of bottle aging, the wine shows its ability to enhance diverse dishes, especially spicy Asian dishes.
