2021 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir - $28

A total crowd pleaser as is, this Pinot Noir will complement any dish on the menu. With aromas of blackberry, cherry, leather, and tobacco with flavors of red cherry, raspberry, and boysenberry. Subtle hints of espresso and cocoa nib underpin notes of exotic spice and toast. The inherent earthiness and spice are a natural pairing with horderves as much as the mains. Perfect for celebrating another year with your lover, we recommend pairing this Pinot Noir with bacon-wrapped stuffed dates or a light and airy chocolate mousse.

Charles Krug 2020 Merlot - $28

This Napa Valley Merlot has expressive aromas of black cherries, blueberry compote, and violet, followed by lovely hints of dark chocolate and root beer. This medium-bodied wine delights with a subtle creamy texture and flavors of cherry and red currant. It concludes with black cherry and toasted oak notes that linger on the medium-to-long finish.

2021 Monterey Chardonnay - $20

From the main course to dessert, you need this handy. Choosing this bright, crisp Chardonnay is ideal for light meat turkey and lighter fare sides and perfectly pairs with your second, third, or fourth (no judgments here) slice of pumpkin pie. A glass of this wine could be dessert all on its own with aromas of baked apple, graham cracker, and meyer lemon, followed by flavors of Asian pear, and notes of minerality.

2018 Alessandro di Camporeale ‘Vigna di Mandranova' Grillo Sicilia

The nose is fruity, oaky and offers a fine richness as well as freshness. It reveals notes of ripe juicy citrus, apple and toasted notes combined with slight touches of lime, discreet hints of quenette and an imperceptible hint of flowers. The palate is fruity, wellbalanced, discreetly "perlante" (discreet sparkling sensation) and offers a good definition, juiciness, a very discreet suavity (in the background), gourmandise as well as an acidulous / juicy frame.
