The Wines!!

Kettmeir Pinot Grigio $23.99
91 Points James Suckling! 
"A pinot grigio with lots of dried apple, pear and hints of lemon. Some stone and steel, too.
It’s medium-to full-bodied with creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Some licorice undertones.
Drink now." 
Winemaker's notes - This wine has a bright golden hue with a refreshing nose that integrates classic pear and apple fragrances with elegant hints of floral and citrus. The palate, dry on entry, reveals substantial structure and lingering, refreshing savoriness that make this a versatile wine of outstanding personality.  A fine aperitif that is also a superb match for seafood salads, meat or fish-based starters served with succulent sauces, full-flavored soups, and white meats.


Banfi L'Ardi Dolcetto D'Acqui $16.99
Ruby red, fresh fruit with notes of cherries and blackberries. 
Flavorful with varietal characteristics and a typical dry finish. 
Ideal with grilled chicken, swordfish and marinated shrimp. 
Serve slightly chilled.


Ruffino "Salute Amico" Red $13.99
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Sangiovese
The grapes for Salute Amico come from vineyards planted on the Tuscan hills, famous for their exceptional grape quality.  Ruby red with aromas of cherry and red berries. 
An easy-to-drink blend that combines the taste of Sangiovese wine with the feel of Cabernet Sauvignon, a smooth velvety finish. 


CasaSmith Porcospino Primitivo $18.99
90 Points Jeb Dunnuck! 
Coming from the Northridge Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope, the 2019 Primitivo Porcospino offers a forward, jammy style that gives up juicy red and blue fruit as well as peppery herbs and spice.  Medium-body, charming, balanced, and certainly delicious, with a dry finish, it would make a great house red to enjoy over the coming 4-6 years.


Ruffino "Sante Dame" Chianti Classico $27.99
Ruby red, intense fruity aromas of violets typical of the Sangiovese grapes are matched with notes of ripe plums and red and black berry fruits.  Evolved aging aromas provide tertiary notes of black pepper and tobacco. 
This medium-bodied wine delivers both structure and balance with flavors of plums, blackberry, and currant enhanced by rich velvety tannins. 

It has an elegant, lingering finish of red berry fruits and balsamic notes.
