 Wine b-y the Glass

For the Week of 24-29 January 2012

Whites
 

Conde de Subirats Brut                      

A lovely, delicate Cava – Spain's signature bubbly.  This has a great balance of toast and fruit, with a creamy finish.
 

Barnard Griffen Fumé Blanc

This is a Sauvignon Blanc from Washington State, with a definite smoky character – it's low on the citrus, with more minerality and a softer, longer finish.

 

Buena Vista Chardonnay                              

Aromas of fresh toast give way to apples and asian pear; this is crisp and well-balanced, with a round finish.  

 

Leonard Kreusch Auslese Riesling

This is quite sweet, with notes of candied and dried fruit, including apricot, peach, and apple.  A nice choice with spicier seafood and Thai dishes.

 

 
REDS
 

Cloudline Pinot Noir    

This is a fruit-forward Oregon Pinot Noir, with a silky feel in the mouth and just enough tannin to make this food-worthy.

 

Columbia Crest Grand Estates Amitage

This is a great Syrah blend from Washington State, with great spice and smoke notes plus some dark fruit on the finish.

 

Tin Barn Sonoma Cabernet  

Dark and dense; a classic California Cab profile of cassis and blueberry with a tannic finish.

 

Z Runquist Zinfandel  NEW!

This is lush, with soft fruit and good acidity.  Notes of cherry, cranberry, and spice come through on the finish.

 

Make your own flight of 3 wines from this list for $10
