Nadal Hainaut Odyssee
The Famille Nadal wines come from the Côtes Catalanes, right next to the kingdom of Andorra and bordering Spain. Odyssée blends the sun-seeking and overt Grenache (65%) with the more peppery and earthier Syrah and, with the low rainfall that is typical in the area, this bears no small resemblance to some of the intense Spanish reds made on the other side of the border.

Newton Skyside Chardonnay
Once upon a time Newton’s name was spoken in reverent tones as, alongside Pride Mountain, Pahlmeyer, and a few others; this is where Merlot excelled. But then people started treating Merlot like that awkward cousin and the great work stretching back to the 1980s was somehow forgotten. Newton has survived it, and besides, they make other tasty wines like this Chardonnay blended from fat Napa juice and leaner, more structured Sonoma lots.

Niepoort Ruby Port
Unlike Tawny, Ruby Ports are aged in concrete or stainless steel to prevent to wine from oxidizing and to preserve the rich Claret color. Rubies maintain there intense fruit flavors and are great for cooking as well (port wine reduction anyone?). They don't age well so drink up.

Niepoort Tawny
Dirk Niepoort is the madman of Portugal; he really is. His escapades have become legendary, but his wines excuse all scandalous behavior. His wines are seriously good. We'll be offering plenty of them in the near future but until then, this tawny port is rich, complex and begging for a cold evening

Orin Swift "8 Years in the Desert"
“You can only make great wine from great grapes.” Dave Phinney believes that this applies to Zinfandel more than any other varietal. But “by incorporating Petite Sirah and Syrah into the blend, we were able to mitigate some of the [grape's] unpredictability. In the end, our goal every year, is to get closer and closer to the mastery of Zinfandel.” After eight months in French Oak, you get this bad boy.

Pocapita
Pocapita is a great example of how much the Rioja region has upped its game in the last decade. Like many of their wines of late, this 100% Tempranillo is rich, powerful, intense, heady and every bit a modern version of concentrated Rioja, but one that nevertheless still tastes like Rioja.

Prejuges Chardonnay Magnum
Cabardès has not always been a favored site but its intense limestone soils are beginning to consistently offer Burgundy-like nerve. It’s tasty wine, but maybe the best part of the story is that Cabardès is named for the 13th Century Lords of Cabaret – seriously. Picture Joel Grey or Alan Cumming astride white stallions, swords a-glinter in the sunlight, horses prancing. Okay, you just can’t un-see that image, can you? Drink this incredibly tasty number and try to forget we said this.

Raffaello Prosecco Rose
So Raphael dal Bo is a real guy, born and raised in Conegliano, the beating heart of Prosecco, who makes some of the best sparkling in the game.

Ramona Ruby Grapefruit 4 pk
Most of us have said for years that people should drink what they like, and for years the sommelier community agreed, while mocking anyone who didn’t drink the newest coolest label. Certain sommeliers are more open-minded than others; one of the most famed, Jordan Salcito, is talking about this simply enjoyable combo of Italian Zibbibo (think Muscat) grapes, cane sugar and grapefruit juice. If it all sounds like some sort of wine cooler, well, what’s wrong with that?

Robert Foley The Griffin
I miss Bob Foley. I used to see him a lot because I was obsessed with Pride Mountain Vineyards, producer of one of the world’s great Merlots. Bob started at Heitz Cellars, but more importantly spent 15 years as the founding winemaker for Markham Vineyards (more great Merlot). Then in 1992, Bob began another 15 years as the founding winemaker for Pride Mountain Vineyards. He also created the highly acclaimed Switchback Ridge, Hourglass, Paloma, and School House wines. Now he has his own eponymous winery on Howell Mountain, and I don't get there (too many other places to be) but there he makes Cabernets as well as various blends, like the Griffin, the Foley Family crest in Irish heraldry and a blend of the best in the red wine cellar: Merlot, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Charbono, Petit Verdot, and sometimes others.
