Philip Togni Ca'Togni Sweet Red 375 ml 2000
United States / California
"Knockout nose features prune, maple syrup, orange peel, violet and rose petal. Supersweet and fat with currant, rose petal and exotic spice flavors, if not quite as complex in the mouth today as on the nose. But this very thick wine possesses lovely fruit and superb sappy length. Best of all, this singular sweet wine is delicious already."--Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Thackrey Pleiades XXI California
United States / California
One of California's most iconic and mystical winemakers, Sean Thackrey has logged in 20 or more vintages of consistently stunning wines...his "Pleiades" is in its 21st cycle around the heavens, and as is usual with this heavenly blend, we're not exactly sure what's inside. Gorgeous red fruits, a hint of Bolinas eucalyptus leaf, a lot of spice -- a delicious wine from top to bottom and as rare and exquisite as a shooting star.

Abrente Albarino Napa Valley 2010
United States / California
Abrente is a side project of the very talented Morgan Peterson, founder of Bedrock Wines, and also son of Joel Peterson, founder of Ravenswood. A unique focus on Spanish grape varietal Albarino has made this label a must-have yet very hard to find, as quantities are very small yet quality is stratospheric! Great freshness and minerality -- wonderful with seafood.

Cosa Obra Sauvignon Blanc Sonoma Coast 2010
United States / California
From the winemaker: "Sourced from Hummingbird Hill Vineyard in the cool, windy hills of the Sonoma Coast, this complex, rich Sauvignon Blanc showcases powerful aromas of key lime, lemon and peach, followed by a lively tropical and citrus palate of lemon, mango and papaya. Pure, graceful and fresh, it's perfect for tapas style dining or savory snacks like olives and cheese. This versatile wine is one you will want to enjoy all year long. "

From the winemaker: The 2010 Selene Sauvignon Blanc is winemaker Mia Klein’s favorite vintage since 2000! She says it is one of the more perfect vintages for Sauvignon Blanc..."

Antica Terra Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2009
United States / Oregon
From the winemaker: "Antica Terra displays the richness of the vintage, but it is paler, detailed and more concise. Its flavors are from the forest: small wild berries, chanterelles, yellow leaves. This wine includes more fruit from our estate and two extreme sites closer to the coast. In 2009 the stems from these sites ripened to become russet, dense and woody. The impressions of spice, woodlands and autumn come from this."

Cep Vineyards Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2009
United States / California
A family winery that has gone from strength to strength. Cep Vineyards is a secret "second" label of Peay Vineyards, one of northern California's most lauded and definitely talented small-production wineries. Cool-climate Pinot Noir (especially at this price) just doesn't get any better.

Copain Pinot Noir Tous Ensemble Anderson Valley 2009
United States / California
"Bright ruby. Subtly aromatic nose of cherry, mocha, cinnamon and musky herbs. Smooth and expressive, with dark cherry and spice flavors and an appealing pliant texture. Nicely concentrated and seamless, with very good finishing breadth and cling..."--Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
