March 3 – 9

Trinchero Family Select Cabernet Sauvignon
California

This supple Cabernet Sauvignon displays a beautiful varietal aroma of dried cherry and blueberry fruit complexed by scents of cedar and green olive, and finishes with notes of molasses. The smooth palate offers black currant and ripe plum flavors that are beautifully balanced by soft tannins. Delicious to drink now and balanced to make it easy to pair with foods such as beef, lamb and hearty stews.


Trinchero Family Select Chardonnay
California

The goal with the Family Select tier is to create wines that are pure, forward, fruit driven and delicious. The nose is bright, tropical and slightly nutty; the palate manages to be crisp, rich and firm all at the same time. Definitely not an oak bomb, the Chardonnay will seduce you with balance, elegance and finesse.



March 10-16


Folie a Deux Menage a Trois White
California

There is nothing shy about this blend of Chardonnay, Moscato and Chenin Blanc. The bouquet explodes with honeydew melon, strawberry, banana and lemon grass. The mouth is sultry and hedonistic. The flowery perfume and luscious flavors and always fresh and easy.



Folie a Deux Menage a Trois Rouge
California

Complexity and character come form the unusual blend of Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet. Fresh, ripe, jam-like fruit is the calling card of this wine. Forward, spicy and soft, this delicious dalliance makes the perfect accompaniment for grilled meats or chicken.


March 17-23


Danzante Pinot Grigio
Italy

Danzante Pinot Grigio is a dry, white wine with golden reflections. The bouquet is intense with enticing fragrances of fresh citrus fruit and flowers. On the palate, its silky, well-balanced body is enhanced with hints of pineapple, grapefruit and spices that carry through to a crisp, dry finish. Enjoy by itself or with grilled swordfish or sautéed halibut.






Danzante Merlot
Italy

A wine of intense red color with violet reflections. This Merlot has an inviting bouquet of black currant and blueberries enhanced by nuances of sweet spices, such as cinnamon. The lively fruit flavors of plum and berries give this wine a personality that is delightfully different. Enjoy it with rich pastas, grilled steaks or spicy tuna.


March 24-30


Wolf Blass Chardonnay
Australia

This Chardonnay has a vibrant youthful yellow straw color. On the nose, varietal aromas of peach and melon are complexed by a hint of oak. The palate is medium to full-bodied with lively fruit, oak flavors and creamy texture from partial malolactic fermentation. A long, dry finish completes this premium white wine. Perfect with pan-fried calamari and Asian greens.






Wolf Blass Shiraz
Australia

Just as famous as the Wolf Blass brand is internationally, so to is the appreciation of the Australian style of Shiraz. A vivid dark red with a bouquet of lifted pepper and spice supported by subtle sweet-oak. Full-bodied with excellent berry fruit flavors, it is rich, complex and well-structured wine. Think of Lamb fillets with rosemary infused potato mash.


March 31- April 6


Jest Red
California

Sometimes at the end of the year there are some odd little gems in a winemaker's fridge. What do you do with one barrel of Petit Verdot and one barrel of Petit Syrah? Where do you put that BIG Pinot Noir that didn't fit into the delicate blend, and the flamboyant Merlot that thinks it's a Syrah? This red wine, blended from seven noble grape varietals.



Jest White
California

Imagine a wine so inviting that it evokes fantasies of a perfect summer day. Jest White is a vivacious blend of white varietals with aromas of orange blossoms, subtle vanilla, citrus, pears, and lemongrass. A mouthful of elegant flavors that pop and excite the palate with flavors of white peaches, grapefruit, melon and mango.


April 7-13


Cava Negra Malbec
Argentina

Today, the children of Don Humberto carry on the family tradition and continue to produce wines that stand out for their quality both nationally and internationally. An aroma of red fruits, especially ripened plum and a hint of spices, accompanies its violet color, which provides this young wine with a smooth and long finish.
