Barone Fini
Pinot Grigio DOC
Origin: Val d’Adige, Italy
Varietal: Pinot Grigio
Soft, round fruit fills the mouth with ripe, juicy flavors. A long finish glides into flavors of ripe apples and lichee nuts. A wine to be enjoyed on its own, as an aperitif, or with shellfish fowl and light meals that include vegetarian dishes.
Ronchi Pietro
Friulano
Origin: Friuli, Italy
Varietal: Friulano
Definitely a most representative white wine of the enology and the viticulture of Friuli. An intensive straw-yellow colour, flowery, with a fruity flavour reminiscent of bitter almonds. On the palate, resolutely dry, but thanks to the slight acidity, which distinguishes the wine, it always appears round, full-bodied and velvety
Antinori
Guado Al Tasso
Vermentino
Origin: Bolgheri, Tuscany
Varietals: 100% Vermentino
The wine is characterized by its luminous straw yellow color, by a nose which shows, along with mineral notes, the floral and citrus aromas typical of the Bolgheri area. It is a fresh, crisp wine, balanced and with a lengthy finish and aftertaste
Argillae Orvieto
Origin: Orvieto, Italy
Varietals: Trebbiano & Grechetto, Chardonnay
(plus Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc)
Orvieto White Blend is the term used by many for the grape blend used in the white wines of Orvieto. Traditional Orvieto DOC whites may contain Grechetto, Procanico (Trebbiano), Verdello (Verdelho), Drupeggio (Canaiolo Bianco) and/or Malvasia Bianca. Some producers use international grape varieties as well, but these tend to fall outside of the DOC. Our blend takes this traditional lineup and adds Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc.
Vavasour
Sauvignon Blanc
Origin: Awatere Valley, New Zealand
Variertal: Sauvignon Blanc
A serious, concentrated and expressive wine. Flaunts a powerful bouquet of herbs, tropical fruits, and bright citrus. Ripe stone fruit and deep minerality can hold up to spicier foods.
Sanford Flor De Campo
Chardonnay
Origin: Santa Barbara, CA
Varietal: Chardonnay
Very high-toned for a relatively affordable wine, this shows Key lime pith, Greek yogurt, scratched pink grapefruit skin and a fresh 7-Up soda liveliness on the nose. Anjou peas, seared green apples, lime zest and nectarine power the pleasant energy on the palate, which wipes up clean with a vanilla finish.
Newton “Skyside”
Chardonnay
Origin: Napa Valley, CA
Varietal: Chardonnay
Enticing notes of ripe pear and green apple mingle with light butterscotch, vanilla and almond aromas. On the palate, ripe pear combines with pie crust and golden delicious apple flavors, accented by a hint of orange zest. The layers of flavor and appealing texture persist throughout the plush creamy finish.
Edna Valley
Chardonnay
Origin: Edna Valley, CA
Varietal: Chardonnay
Bright and delightful with aromas of crisp green apple and hints of lemon zest. On the palate, layers of white peach and hints of apricot seamlessly blend with notes of baked apple and subtle hints of oak. A vibrant acidity and supple, generous mouthfeel create a perfectly balanced expression of Chardonnay.
Snoqualmie
(Snow-qwahl-mee)
Reisling
Origin: Columbia Valley, WA
Varietal: Reisling
This Winemaker’s Select Riesling is crisp, refreshing, and bursting with aromas of spicy pear and dried apricots. The richly textured palate is characterized by spice and fruit as well as lingering notes of honey.
