VILLA MARIA SAUVIGNON BLANC
NEW ZEALAND
Several premium vineyards were picked and the juices kept separate
during fermentation. This separation and slow cold fermentation
allowed each vineyard to show its full potential. Only then, were the
best parcels selected to make up this wine. Fresh and pungent this
aromatic Sauvignon Blanc fills the mouth with ripe, long gooseberry
and pineapple flavors. Fruit, cheese, good bread and seafood go
wonderfully with this fresh wine.
ROSEMOUNT ORANGE VINEYARD MERLOT

Deep plum with vibrant crimson trim, this wine is expressive with a
depth of plum and black cherry fruit overlaid by lifted mulberry and
spice. The palate is generous with a core of ripe plum fruit given
definition by fine-grained, velvety tannins; the palate evolves to
highlight notes of cassis and spice before a long, structured finish.
Ideally suited to lamb, duck, game and cheese.

NOV 20TH - 27TH • THANKSGIVING WEEK
PELLEGRINI OLIVET LANE PINOT NOIR
CALIFORNIA
We chose this wine especially for Thanksgiving. This wine expresses
all the classic traits of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. These
attributes are an abundance of red fruits, with a rich and full-bodied
palate. The nose opens with currant, crushed raspberries, black cherry
and allspice. The mouth is full, rich with velvety tannins lingering on
the finish. This wine will be drinking perfectly now and age
gracefully for the next 3-5 years.
PELLEGRINI OLIVET LANE CHARDONNAY

This Chardonnay shows a wonderful balance of toasty oak and fruit.
The first impression is almonds and brown sugar, followed by a
mixture of Meyer lemon, crème brulee with a soft butternut finish.
The structure of this wine will allow it to age beautifully for 2-5 years
and taste great upon release. A perfect accompaniment to
Thanksgiving dinner.
