Foris
Rogue Valley, Oregon $28/$7
Made with 100% Gewürztraminer grapes. Citrus blossom, gardenia and rose
blossoms intermingle to create a heady floral perfume. Very rich and viscous,
yet restrained by moderate acidity, the flavors are reminiscent of white
peach, pink grapefruit and a trace of ginger and vanilla spice. 1100 cases
produced.
Pewsey Vale
Individual Vineyard Selection
Eden Valley, Australia $28/$7
Lovely acidity is this Riesling’s hallmark; it’s round but crisp
in the mouth. Offers lovely lemon, lime & white pepper flavors in the
mouth & smells just as it tastes. Finishes with some length & a chalky
feel.
Willamette Valley Vineyards
Oregon $28/$7
This is a semi-sweet, medium bodied, Germanic styled wine. Vibrant aromas
of peach, pear, citrus & honeysuckle flowers. Explosive flavors of star
fruit & steely apple give a sweet-tart balance. Clean & refreshing
with a crisp finish.
Dr. Konstantin Frank
Finger Lakes, NY $34
This Johannesburg style Riesling is dry, with crisp acidity, layers of mango,
citrus & pear blossoms in the
nose. Apple & pear with a full-bodied
taste along with minerality lingering on a fruity finish.
Eroica
Columbia Valley, Washington $44
This is more than a blend of two estates, Dr. Loosen from the Mosel and Chateau
Ste. Michelle from the Columbia Valley. Delivers fresh mandarin orange and
lime aromas and flavors with subtle mineral and slate notes. Rich, bold & fruit
forward.
Anthony Robert Hammond
Sugar Babe
Germany $46
This Spatlese wine is the lightest of the late harvest wines. It is fleshy & intensely
flavored. Quite rich, though fresh & round aromas, with touches of tropical
fruits, herbs & spices are present. Very clean, classic varietal flavors & full-bodied.
