Wayne and Madison:
NewHarbor Sauvignon Blanc 2007 (New Zealand): With an enticing bouquet of grapefruit, passion fruit, and guava, its crisp and aromatic finish exhibits all the classic hallmarks of New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon BlancSalena Estates Chardonnay 2007 (Australia): Fresh and lively, this Aussie Chardonnay is brimming with citrus and melon aromas with just a touch of oak on the creamy finish.
Hartford Court Pinot Noir 2006 (California): Complex aromas of juicy red berries, violets and cedar are followed by flavors of perfectly ripe, black cherries, with allspice and coffee notes culminating in a long, multi-faceted finish. A true Sonoma Coast California Pinot Noir.
Chave Mon Coeur Cotes du Rhone 2006 (France): Wine Spectator 91 pts! Alluring, with dark cocoa, game, braised fig, and roasted plum notes laced with hints of iron, and garrigue. The nice solid, muscular finish lets a loamy edge echo on.
Attilio Ghisolfi Barolo 2004 (Italy): The Wall Street Journal called it the best Barolo under $50 bucks, and said "This wine is easy to drink despite its size. Quite a wine..." Wine Spectator: Shows dried mushroom, plum and cigar box aromas, turning to black fruit. Full bodied, with chewy tannins, and a long finish.

Palo Alto Reserve, Sauvignon Blanc 2008 (Chile): A wonderful example of Chilean SB with good acidity and minerality underpining ripe grapfruit and gooseberry.St Clement Vineyards, Chardonnay Napa Valley 2007 (California): Excellent creamyness with a touch of oak and ripe fruit.
Tatu, Garnacha 2008 (Spain): Ripe grenache with bright red fruit, good balance. A real crowd pleaser and excellent with food or as a before meal glass of something.
Tua Rita Perlato del Bosco Rosso Toscana 2005 (Italy): A ripe nose of currents, earth, ripe fruit, fine tannins and excellent balance. An excellent and resonably priced intro to one of the finest producers in Tuscany.
