Jacopo Poli Museum Miele (Acacia Honey) Liqueur with Glass
This sweet after - dinner liqueur was distilled from acacia honey and combined with essential oils of mug pine, juniper, mint and verbena. With the characteristic Jacopo Poli delicacy, it has a lovely aroma of lemon verbena and pine with essences of each in the sweet flavor. Perhaps a nuance of balsamic? Stunningly delicious. The distillery suggests shaking before use and serving cool. For a thrilling alternative, Jacopo Poli suggests using Museum Miele instead of rum to make a mojito. "It is fantastic", he says. |

Colombelle 2008 Vin de Pays Des Cotes De Gascogne
WOW! A blast of grapefruit, herbs and exotic white flowers greets your nose in this fabulous, delightful dry white wine. The lavender twist-top suggests something fresh and natural coming from the clear bottle, and the wine delivers. We make nothing like this in California, except a non-oaked Sauvignon Blanc. But no local Sauvignons taste like a morning spoonful of fresh grapefruit with a bit of the quick. Super-clean, no oak, medium body and only 11.5% alcohol. I'll be drinking a lot of this wine during the hot spells to come. |

Pascual Toso 2007 Mendoza Chardonnay
A lot of the focus in Argentina's wines is in varietals they have made their own, Malbec and Torrontez, but they also are making excellent wines from more well-known varietals like Chardonnay. The Pascual Toso winery is one of Argentina's rising stars. With their winemaking guided by American consultant Paul Hobbs, the wines are quite rich and full-bodied, but well-balanced and with great varietal character. This Chardonnay is ripe and fruit-forward with a creamy smooth texture, but also enough balancing acidity to make it both a great accompaniment for food, or a delicious wine to enjoy on its own after work. |

Borsao 2008 Vina Borgia Campo de Borja
I’ve been harping on this for the past two vintages: priced at $6.99 per bottle this is a steal and anybody that buys it should be thrown in jail for “stealing” money from Bodegas Borsao. They should be charging more for this, like maybe $8 or $9. Jokes aside, if you want to try a Garnacha based wine this is the starting point. It’s perfect for a glass when you get home from work, BBQ, an evening with friends, or even cooking with. Oh yes, It’s also the wine I recommend for those that make their own Sangria. |

Almira 2007 Los Dos Old Vines Campo de Borja
Campo de Borja is where the world's greatest red wine bargains are. They are so delicious I drink them at home quite often. Almira's latest release blends 7% Syrah to its Grenache, both estate grown. From the first whiff of its beautiful fruity aroma, it is captivating, a fruity, simple kind of wine for every day consumption. There is blackberry in the first sip and boysenberry in the last. |

Domaine Tempier 2007 Bandol Rosé 1.5L
Many influential gourmands, including Alice Waters, consider Tempier’s the quintessential rosé, and its high quality and wide international reputation has earned it the highest price in our rosé portfolio. I am happy to report that after 14 years of drinking Tempier’s rosé, I cannot remember another vintage as perfect as this one. Lovely balance, all the right flavors of Provençale Grenache and Mourvedre. Statuesque. |
