Staglin Family Vineyard, Booth Bella Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
USA, California, Napa
Tasting Notes:
The broodingly dark and intense 2015 Booth Bella Oaks is an energetic expression of ripe wild cherry and late season boysenberry with generous drops of Damson plum and sun-kissed fig deepened by a backbone of dark roasted coffee amidst an exotic herbal elixir prominent with menthol, star anise, and pine fatwood. This concentrated and somewhat tightly wound wine is drinking well now but will welcome and reward a little rest in your cellar.
Chateau Musar Proprietary White Blend 2011
Lebanon, Bekaa Valley
Winemaker's Notes:
The Chateau Musar Red of this year is a dark blood red color with a rich, fragrant fruit nose; mulberries, black
cherries, plums with a hint of mocha. The palate is very intense and concentrated, it’s full of volume and characterized by forest and black fruits with elegant spice. The tannins are soft and juicy and it has a
lengthy finish.
Bonanza by Caymus, Lot 1 Cabernet Sauvignon NV
USA, California
Tasting Notes:
A delicious Cabernet featuring flavors of dark berry, vanilla, cassis and toast. Aromas of currants and oak are met by a subtle smokiness. Silky tannins create a smooth, easy to drink wine with a long finish.

Livio Felluga Pinot Grigio 2017
Italy, Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Tasting Notes:
Brilliant yellow in color, this wine offers complex, rich and multi-layered aromas of orange blossom, daisy, white wisteria, apricot, peach, white melon and yellow peach. Sweet sensations of custard and creme brule are in perfect balance with the freshness of citrus fruit. On the palate, it is complex, fresh and velvety, echoing the nose with notes of pineapple, melon, Nashi pear, yellow peach and sweet pastry. The finish is fresh, tense and very persistent with citrus, white fruit, and pleasant savory notes.
