August 18th – 24th

Red Diamond Merlot

The line in the sand has been drawn, and the challenge is on – you can’t beat this Merlot at this price. Soft, fruity, easy to drink, with the right amount of oak, this wine will win you over with just one glass. The wine is great on its own, but with its balanced acidity and intense fruit concentration, it is also a great companion to food.

Red Diamond Chardonnay

The wine was released for the first time in Arkansas this year. You're going to like this outstanding wine – crisp and refreshing; it is a hip sipper to have with food or on its own. In a nutshell, this wine fills your mouth with juicy, ripe tropical fruit like pineapple, as well as pear and apple. Creamy oak subtly creeps in, adding complexity to the mouth feel.

August 25th – 31st

Smoking Loon Chardonnay

This Chardonnay has a medium golden color, with ripe apple, lemon citrus and dried apricot essence. Intense Bartlett pear and sweet ruby grapefruit flavors with light cinnamon stick spice and juicy orange blossom and honeysuckle finish. This is a great wine for proscuitto and melon salads with a wedge of Reggiano, spit roasted rosemary chicken and cream pastas.

Smoking Loon Pinot Noir

Part of the appeal of Smoking Loon California Pinot Noir is in the cool packaging, including the name. But the negociants Don Sebastiani & Sons bought some quality grapes for this wine, which has a nice aroma of cherry, red currant, earth and strawberry. The flavor is mostly cherry and red currant.

September 1st – 7th

Aquinas Cabernet Sauvignon

This 2002 vintage is classic Napa Valley Cab. The nose shows aromas of vanilla, cedar, tanned leather and allspice. On the palate, ripe fruit flavors of red cherry and cassis are well balanced with a subtle essence of oak. The full body and soft tannins finish on an elegantly spicy note that might even inspire St. Thomas to pursue the art (and science) of winemaking.

Aquinas Chardonnay

A great wine for aperitif pairing with finger-foods like warm goat cheese wrapped in filo dough, wild mushroom tarts or tomato, cucumber and lime juice Ahi tuna poke. This wine packs as much flavor as you can fit in a glass. The nose is full of ultra-ripe pineapples and peaches, caramelized oak, toasty meringue, vanilla, the works. Plus, it's cream, smooth and crisp.

September 8th – 14th

Cline California Syrah

Syrah is a fantastic grape to work with in the cellar. The deep purple color explodes and fascinates each time it is poured into a glass. Its origins stem from the Rhône Valley. Syrah is most popular in Australia (known as Shiraz) and is collecting a large following here in the United States. The 2002 California Syrah is becoming a benchmark wine for the adventurous. The cracked black pepper aromas complement the black cherry jamminess of this vintage. Try this Syrah with all things grilled....salute!

Cline Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay
(One Case No Charge on Ten Case Purchase)

Aromas of ripe pear, pineapple and apple join the wonderful tastes of cantaloupe and creamy lemon. Enjoy this wine with light fare such as foie gras, quiche & butter lettuce salad, herb-crusted halibut and lobster with tarragon butter.

September 15th – 21st

Introduction

Falesco was established in 1979 with the principal aim of rediscovering and enhancing the value of Lazio's traditional varietals. Several years later it is impossible to list the accolades bestowed upon owner, Riccardo Cotarella. Without a doubt he is one of Italy's finest winemakers and Winebow is extremely proud to have traveled with him on his journey towards success.

Falesco Vitiano Rosso

This wine is a blend of 33% Merlot, 33% Cabernet and 34% Sangiovese grapes grown in the region of Umbria. Vitiano is vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged in Nevers barrels for 3 months before being bottled. This is a young red wine with explosive, luscious aromas. The wine has a wonderful deep, ruby red color with a wide range of organoleptic qualities.

Falesco Vitiano Bianco

Vitiano Bianco was born from one of the many experimental vineyards through the University of Viterbo. The grapes Vermentino, Viognier and Verdicchio all fair exceptionally well in the sediment and clay soils around the Marciliano estate. Harvested in late September, the grapes are crushed and vinified separately then blended to make a balanced, full, fresh wine with interesting characteristics of fresh grass, lime and ripe pears.
