| New Zealand Merlot--Arriving in January | More_Info |
From New Zealand's most easterly region comes this dry, medium-bodied red wine. It has a soft, supple fruity palate of boysenberries, plums, red currants, and ripe black cherries. Its wonderful spicy aroma is accentuated with light warm oak and a rich, round mouthfeel, leading to a long, elegant finish. Merlot's moderate tannins and bright fruit make it tempting to drink immediately, but complexity builds over 2 to 4 years of aging.

| New Zealand Gewürztraminer--Arriving in January | More_Info |
From Marlborough, New Zealand's largest and best-known winegrowing area, comes this classic German off-dry white wine. With grapes from the internationally renowned Allan Scott Wines and Estates, it has the unmistakable fragrance of lychee, tropical fruit, and rose petals. Its flavors are ample, lusciously fruity and spicy rather than complex. The intense fruit character and hint of sweetness will be apparent immediately in this rich wine, but the deeper floral characteristics will become more apparent.

| South African Cabernet Sauvignon--Arriving in February | More_Info |
North of Cape Town, lies the Swartland region where vines are dry-farmed allowing grapes to mature slowly and fully express the regional terroir. The wine's bold tannins balance a complex red wine full of dark cherry and cedar flavors, as well as blackcurrant and blackberry aromas. A year or more of aging will allow the peppery character of the grapes to emerge, and this wine will continue to improve for three years, or longer.

| Alsatian Riesling--Arriving in March | More_Info |
Nestled between Switzerland, France, and Germany, the Alsace region is known for some of the world's most impressive white wines. Medium bodied, crisp and steely, this delicious white wine has aromas of juicy apple, white fruits, and the perfume of May blossoms. Wonderfully drinkable, it shows an amazing depth of flavor with minerals, acidity, and structure. While crisply fresh and bright when young, it will develop more of its floral/mineral aromas after six months, and after a year will begin to show...

From the chalky soils of the Piedmont comes Italy's most delightful red grape, Dolcetto. Its dense, inky purple hue belies its easy-drinking character and smooth tannins. The unique tannin profile of the Dolcetto grape produces a wine that is lush, rather than powerful. Its lushness is revealed with flavors of black cherry, licorice, prunes, and a characteristic hint of bitter almond, a perception enhanced by the completely dry finish. This medium-bodied red wine is often served lightly chilled at 55-65°F
