Plus special featured picks for the
holidays:
2023 Hylands Estate Old Vine
Gewurztraminer McMinnville AVA $24
Sourced from the Hyland Vineyard, this
bone-dry and intensely fragrant take
on the grape is exceptional in every
way. Scents of clover, mint, and body
powder lead into a varietally true
wine with deep, rich flavors of Meyer
lemon, peach, and papaya. It is full
bodied, flavorful and complex. - PAUL
GREGUTT (Wine Enthusiast)
2021 Canvasback Red Mountain Cabernet
Sauvignon Washington $28
Imagine black cherries and a cedar box
that once housed Punch Gran Puro
cigars. That is how this wine makes
its aromatic introduction. Then the
medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon
delivers black-fruit flavor to go with
dark-chocolate and balsa notes. Modest
acidity, followed by grippy tannins,
you may want to decant. 90 Points Wine
Enthusiast
2023 Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc New
Zealand $23
Aromatic, stylish and distinctive,
this offers honeysuckle, quince,
citron and fresh ginger notes on a
sleek and mouthwatering frame. Accents
of lemon thyme and apple skin linger
on the refreshing finish. Drink now.
93 Points Wine Spectator. We received
5 Cases.
Lustau East India Solera Cream Sherry
$30. Dark mahogany in color with
green-amber edge. It offers vibrant
notes of maple syrup, brown sugar,
shoe polish, raisin, and chocolate
beer nuts, all very well integrated.
On the palate it is smooth and rich at
the beginning, full of prune and
burned oranges peel flavors.
Provocative spicy notes appear just
before its nuttiness and terrific
acidity cuts through the sweetness.
With a truly unforgettable finish.
Each wine (Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez)
matured separately in its own solera
for 12 years. Once blended, the
resulting sherry returned to a 45-cask
solera for a further 3 years ageing.
In centuries gone by, casks with
sherry loaded to ships sailing for the
Indies and found to develop an
extraordinary smoothness and
complexity. Lustau has revived this
style of sherry in the East India
wine.

Wine & Bistro November Red Cheep
& Cheerful Six pack $82.80
- 2020 Juan Gil Red Blend Jumilla,
Spain $19. These zesty red layers are
abundant milled black and white pepper
with flavors of ripe black raspberry
and cherry fruit. Firmed by
well-meshed, chalky tannins, this
offers aromatic accents of bay leaf
and licorice. Monastrell, Cabernet
Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through
2025. 89 Points Wine Spectator
- 2023 Hahn GSM California $14 This
2022 GSM is a medium-bodied blend of
Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Aromas
of violet, blueberry and a tap of
white pepper rise from the glass. The
mouthfeel is soft with layers of ripe
raspberry and strawberries. Subtle
hints of toasted oak and mocha pull
through the finish.
- 2019 San Valero “Plano Alto”
Garnacha & Carinena, Spain $12
“This is inky with dark berries and
graphite to the black-cherry aromas
and flavors. Medium-bodied with firm
tannins and long, textural finish that
goes on for minutes. Delicious now."
93 JAMES SUCKLING 93 POINTS
- 2022 Cantina Valle Tritana
Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, Italy $14.
Intense, clean, and pleasing aromas of
black cherry, blueberry, plum, carob
and violet followed by pleasing aromas
of walnut-husk. Good balance,
agreeable tannins, good body, and
intense flavors. Deep ruby red color,
little transparency. Pairs well with
mushrooms, Cheese, and pasta dishes.
- NA Austin Hope Troublemaker Red
Blend Central Coast, CA $17
“Troublemaker Blend 16 has an opaque
purple color. The nose is bursting
with jammy boysenberry and blackberry,
along with a fresh hint of raspberry.
These fruit aromas carry through to
the palate and are accentuated by
underlying tones of peppercorns, dried
tobacco, and roasted coffee. Velvety
tannins and balancing acidity bring
out the vibrant fruit character of
this complex blend. “Comprised of
varietals that flourish in Paso
Robles’ distinct growing region,
Troublemaker consists of Syrah, Petite
Sirah, Mourvèdre, Grenache, and
Zinfandel. Syrah is the backbone of
the wine, setting the stage for a
fruit-forward style and a full body.
Petite Sirah contributes to the deep
ruby color. Sweet and bright red fruit
flavors of Grenache blend with the
rustic and lively flavors of the
Mourvèdre, while Zinfandel adds its
signature zing to round out the
blend.” Pair with Salami, cheese, and
Thanksgiving dinner!
- 2021 Podere De Giuggiolo Toscana
Corte alla Flora Italy $16 100%
Sangiovese. Bouquet: the wine presents
typical perfumes of Prugnolo Gentile,
liquorice, red fruits and violet. The
maturing produces also prominent
balsamic inklings, typical of quality
red wine. Flavor: Soft and
Velvety. The evolution reveals a
moderate wood inkling and freshness,
typical of young wine. We look for
fineness and elegance, rather than
excessive extraction and structure.

Wine & Bistro September White
Cheap & Cheerful $83.70 - after
your 10% discount
- 2023 Bodega Colomé Torrontés
Calchaqui Valley, Argentina $14 This
version is subtly floral, with hints
of geranium and dried rose hip on a
smooth-textured palate of mandarin
orange and dried pineapple, with just
enough acidity to pick up the flavors
and carry them onto the finish around
a lingering note of candied lemon
peel. Drink now. 90 Points Wine
Spectator
- 2022 Umani Ronchi Verdicchio dei
Castelli di Jesi Classico Villa
Bianchi, Italy $12 Verbena and fresh
hay notes accent the ripe yellow plum
and crushed almond flavors in this
balanced, light-bodied white, with
hints of white pepper and graphite.
Lively finish. Drink now. 88 Points
Wine Spectator 12.5 % Alc
- 2023 Raza Vinho Verde D.O.C.
Portugal $12 A cheerful, translucid,
lemon-yellow, and slightly pétillant
white wine, Vinho Verde means ‘green
wine’ and named after the northwest
Portuguese region from which it
originates. The ‘green’ in the name
refers to the youthful state in which
the wines are customarily released and
consumed, not the color of the wine.
It is typically a blend of various
percentages of Alvarinho, Loureiro,
Trajadura, and Pedernã (Arinto).
Following initial alcoholic
fermentation, a natural, secondary
malolactic conversion in cask produces
carbon dioxide, giving Vinho Verde its
charmingly light sparkle. 11.5 % Alc.
- 2021 McBride Sisters Chardonnay
Central Coast, CA $15 Creamy and lush,
with flavors of lemon meringue, lemon
curd and crème anglaise that show
accents of marmalade and apricot
pastry, plus fresh grace notes of
tangerine, candied ginger and toasted,
buttery brioche. A fresh thread of
acidity keeps all the flavors in
focus. Drink now. 90 Points Wine
Spectator 13.5 % Alc.
- 2023 Lamblin & Fils Bourgogne
Blanc, France $20 When you taste it,
you could easily take Lamblin’s
Bourgogne Blanc for Chablis. In price,
however, it bears no resemblance at
all. A can’t-miss member-favorite
offering mouthwatering lemon curd and
juicy pear accented by wet stone, it’s
an outstanding bargain. 12.5 Alc.
- 2023 Hiruzta Txakolina Spain $20.
Made from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape,
grown in the winery’s own vineyards in
Hondarribia and fermented at its
state-of-the-art facility. Produced in
at an exceptional winery equipped with
state-of-the-art technology. Intense
aromas of white (pear and apple),
citrus (grapefruit) and tropical
(pineapple and passion fruit) fruit
aromas, also swathed with white flower
(orange blossom) scents, all enhanced
by the subtle release of the natural
carbonic gas. It is very balanced and
fresh, with a certain sense of spicy
sparkle on the tongue and an
integrated acidity. Pleasant on the
palate, with a citrus and tropical
aftertaste. Long and aromatic finish.
