How can it be December already? Hard to believe but don’t worry, we have everything you need for the wine or beer lover on your holiday list! From little bottles of delicious desert wine to big, bold Cabernets, we can find something for every taste.

To start the month, we are tasting one white wine and three new reds. First on the menu is a crisp, refreshing medium-bodied wine from southern Italy that is produced primarily from indigenous white Falanghina grapes. Apricots, almond, tart apple, lemon rind and a touch of honey are on the palate. This wine has great acidity and a long, clean finish.

The second wine is the inaugural vintage of an absolutely delicious Pinot Noir that any one would be proud to pour liberally at their dinner table! Hand-crafted from the finest California Pinot Noir grapes this wine is black cherries kissed by oak and complimented by just the right amount of Asian spice.

Our third wine is a new Grenache/Merlot blend from the Rhone Valley. This young wine is packed with fresh notes of cherry, strawberry, and raspberry wrapped in intense flavors and soft white and black spices. Round and very fruit forward, this extreme value wine can be enjoyed with your everyday meals or by itself.

Our final wine is an amazingly well balanced Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. With beautiful black and blue fruits, this wine has nicely integrated tannins and just a hint of fig and earth.
