Marques Murrieta Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2011 $189 special, 12 bottles available
James Suckling 98 Points “Extremely well-mannered, traditional character to this, showing layer upon layer of savory complexity on the nose, with iron, dried meat, tobacco, balsamic fruit, dried red berries, orange peel, leather and dried mushrooms. A medium-to full-bodied, linear, and zesty Rioja that’s full of nuanced flavors that linger through the very long, savory finish.

Bergstrom Cumberland Reserve Pinot Noir 2021 750ml $39.50 special, 36 bottles
Wine Advocate 95 Points “Medium ruby-purple, the 2021 Pinot Noir Cumberland Reserve offers generous aromas of cranberry sauce, floral potpourri, blood orange and wafts of dried herbs. The medium-bodied palate is youthfully gregarious and focused on generous allspice flavors, although its chalky, tensile frame and long, latent finish suggest this has more to give with additional time in bottle.”

Vinopolnote “Rockstar winemaker Jim Maresh says that this Petite represents the “Chablisienne character” of this particular Chardonnay. We say this is a grand value. Tan Fruit and Arterberry Maresh are riding a swell of popularity nationwide after their recent accolades in Wine Enthusiast magazine.

Unfailingly Delicious Felsina
2017 Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia – The Accidental Wine Company
Today we embark on an exploration of Felsina Winery and its rich history of crafting exceptional wines. Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Felsina Winery has been producing world-class wines since its establishment by Domenico Poggiali in 1966. The winery’s name ties back to the Etruscan roots of Castelnuovo Berardenga where it is located. With a commitment to tradition, quality, and sustainability by the next two generations of the Poggiali family, the winery has become a beacon of excellence with timeliness consistency in the wine industry.

The winery’s vineyards are situated in the prestigious Chianti Classico region, renowned for its picturesque landscapes and ideal terroir for grape cultivation. Felsina Winery’s commitment to organic and sustainable farming practices ensures that each grape is nurtured to perfection, resulting in wines that truly capture the essence of the region.
