STAFF PICKS - HOLIDAY PARTY STARTERS
Dave's Pick:
Yorkville Cellars, Hi-Rollr Red, Rennie Vineyard 2016
Here is a well balanced red for daily drinking in the winter months that seem to be fully upon us. This wine, which consists primarily of Malbec, has a distinctly California feel. Tannin and acidity prove a suitable foil to the rich ripe fruit and, notably the wine seems to lack the intense floral character of most South American Malbec.   -$15.99
Patrick's Pick
Hahn, Santa Lucia Highlands, 'SLH' Pinot Noir, 2016
This SLH limited release Pinot Noir from the Hahn family is a real crowd-pleaser. Aromas of black currant and strawberry also invite the notice of light lavender and cardamon. This 91 point Wine Enthusiast rave is a high quality deal and will compliment any holiday party.
Cheers!  -$24.99
Ray's Pick:
Henri Gouges, Nuits-Saint-Georges, 2016
Beautiful blend of fruit, earth, and mineral, with a finish that is seemingly endless. They practice minimal intervention without the use of chemicals in the field or winery. Using gravity flow and indigenous yeast fermentation, you taste the terroir of NSG. Treat yourself for this holiday season. -$99.99
Patti's Pick:
Day Zinfandel, Sonoma County, 2016
Bright and juicy cherry and raspberry red fruits dominate with refinement and elegance, rather than being jammy and over-extracted. A touch of dried herbs, spice & tobacco round out the palate. If you don't know already, Day is the new Zinfandel project of Ehren Jordan, the mastermind behind Failla and exwinemaker at Turle. -$31.99
Doug's Pick:
Envinate Benje Tinto Canary Islands 2017
Off the beaten path might be the best way to describe this wine made from Listan Prieto (AKA Mission) grown in higher altitudes of the Tenerife wine region in the Canary Islands. Made with low interventionist philosophy, this wine was hand harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts and received no SO2 added at bottling. It is all red fruit, peppercorns, flowers, and volcanic soils - an insanely quaffable option.  -$25.99
