JuLY 3, 2009

Bellini Cocktails

A blend of Prosseco sparkling from Italy with peach puree,
it is delicious.
Notable Wine & Olive Oil?!
I have 5 bottles of Clos Pepe Estate Pinot Noir for sale. Usually mailing list only, I recently met the winemaker Wes Hagen. His are wines you want to hide away for a few years as they get much better with age. Wes is a fanatic about his wine but he also makes a small amount of estate Olive Oil. When I tasted it, I had to have some. This Friday - Sunday, taste some of the best olive oil ever.Charity Fundraisers ... Use Wine Lab for Your Next Event

Notable wines in stock
White Rock Vineyards Napa Valley Claret
We're got a little more of the LA Times wine of the week 2004 White Rock Vineyards Napa Valley Claret $33.99 (32.29 club. drinks $40+).Robert Foley Charbono & Merlot
Charbono is an obscure grape varietal that in grown in minuscule quantities in California. Robert Foley is the winemaker that made Pride Mountain Vineyards a stellar producer. He left Pride to focus on his own label and still makes wine for Switchback Ridge. Food & Wine named him winemaker of the year in 2007. You've never tasted a wine like this - please come experience it. We'll also have his Pinot Blanc and Merlot available and both are some of the best I've tasted.Lone Madrone Picpou Blanc
I tasted Lone Madrone Picpoul Blanc a couple years ago and it was love at first taste. On my next visit I tasted the 2007 and I was still in love. I'm not sure if this rare varietal is my favorite Rhone white but it might be.This wine is made in microscopic quantity and I had to special order a case from the winery (true love.)
Castalia Rochioli
Some regard Rochioli Pinot Noir as some of the best from California. I got a tip that the winemaker for Castalia Rochioliwas in town. We rendezvoused at Baja Fresh and tasted it out of a plastic cup. Getting a case for you was a no-brainier. If you want some amazing Rochioli fruit at a great price ($49.99), now's your chance. Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine - 96 Points
Eric Kent Syrahs
2006 Eric Kent Kalen's Big Boy Blend Sonoma County Syrah
94 Points - Highly Recommended - Wine Spectator, March 2009
Black Kite Pinot Noir
Small allocation of Black Kite Kites Rest Pinot Noir 2007 (I just tasted this at the "Falltacular" and it was fantastic!)
Booker & Sanguis
I've been pursuing some highly allocated wines that are hard to get outside of the winery or mailing lists. Only a few bottles of each available.2006 Booker Fracture $54.
2006 Sanguis Novillero $66 and Infidels $76 (some compare these to Sine Qua Non.)
Clif Lede
We received a one case allocation of Cliff Lede 2006 Stag's Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon. Not yet rated but previous vintages have glowing reviews and 2006 is reported even better.
