VINOS DIVINOS MENDOCINOS

Flight: $16

Cristobal 1492 Verdelho

2009 Mendoza, Argentina

100% Verdehlo, this grape is originally native to Portugal and also know widely in Spain as Verdejo.

Filus Reserve Malbec

2008 Mendoza, Argentina

Old vine Malbec from the famed Uco Valley in Mendoza.  Dark fruity aromas and flavors, chocolate, coffee, persistent! Serious juice people.

Finca Algarve Cinco Sentidos Gran Reserva

2005 Mendoza, Argentina

Cinco Sentidos is back with its big daddy of wines.

This Malbec, Cabernet and Syrah blend requires an Argentine steak alongside it.

DEEP SEA DIVING

Flight: $14

Conway Deep Sea Chardonnay

2008 Central Coast, CA

This Chardonnay mirrors the more serious Burgundian style wines with its fleshy skin, oak and spice.

Conway Deep Sea “Sea Flower” Rosé

2008 Central Coast, CA

A tart dry rosé of Grenache/Syrah that just aches for a chilled butter lettuce salad. MMMMM!

Conway Deep Sea Red

2008 Central Coast, CA

Although nearly 75% Syrah, this wine combines five total varietals to make up this luscious balanced blend from the ocean influenced Central Coast.

RED HOT CHILE GRAPES

Flight: $15

Tutunjian “Pacifico Sur” Carmenère Rosé

Carmenère separated from its skins. Kept at cool temps producing zesty rosé. The grapes are entirely estate grown and carefully hand picked.

Tutunjian “Pacifico Sur” Pinot Noir Reserve

2008     Curicó Valley, Chile

The Curico Valley is a place with extraordinary natural conditions required for the growth of grapevines.

Tutunjian “Pacifico Sur” Carmenère Cabernet Sauvignon

This lovely blend has it all: deep color, aromas, structure and a lovely finish.  Enjoy with everything!

A FRENCH PARADOX

Flight: $18

Maison Lupé-Cholet Macon Villages

2005 Burgundy, France

A great introduction to the famed Chardonnays that hail from Burgundy.  Bright, crisp, and minerally.

Lirac Richesse Des Lauzeraies

2006 Cotes Du Rhone, France

Just a hop, skip and a jump from famed Chateauneuf-du-Pape, this region was originally known for its rosé but its red show the regions real terrior.

Clos des Vins d’Amour “1+1=3”

2006 Languedoc, France

The Carignan goes thru carbonic maceration while the Syrah & Grenache are crushed normally.  This is a family owned and operated winery.
