2008 Chardonnay "Milton Park", Thorn-Clarke
Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia
Medium-bodied with loads of tropical fruit flavors, and a clean, pure fruit driven style.

2009 Sauvignon Blanc, San Elias
Central Valley, Chile
Crisp and light with a pale yellow color with a bouquet showing aromas of gooseberry, apple and citrus fruits aromas, and fresh zesty flavor. Makes for an excellent aperitif or paired with salads, fish and poultry.

2008 Cortese, Bricco dei Tati
Piedmont, Italy
A very pretty, simple white that over delivers. Fresh and zesty notes of perfumed green apples, mint and sweet fennel this wonderful offering shows excellent persistence and a long, refreshing finish.

2008 Barbera, Bricco dei Tati
Piedmont, Italy
A lively, young, fresh Barbera with a persistent and attractive bouquet of black cherries and a bit of spice on the palate. Delightfully approachable, it is great with medium to strong cheeses and barbecue.

2008 Borsao, Agricola de Borja
Campo De Borja, Aragon, Spain
A blend of 80% Garnacha and 20% Tempranillo, this purple-colored dynamo gushes an expressive aromatic array of black cherry and blackberry. Great with BBQ and anything grilled!

2008 Malbec, Finca Sophenia Altosur
Tupungato, Mendoza, Argentina
Dark ruby-colored, it offers up an alluring bouquet of Asian spices, cassis, cedar, incense, and black cherry. Medium-bodied, savory, and elegant it shows extremely well with or without food.
