Because our specialty is finding undiscovered treasures, we try a lot of different wines. When we find a winner, we tend to stick with a "house wine" for a couple of weeks, tasting it with different foods, and complements. We like to really get to know a wine. So this page is dedicated to the wines that earn a repetitive appearance in our homes. We’ll share why we like it, and what we foods we believe pair best with it, and even what to avoid...
We will also list irresistable new arrivals here!

Seduction
Napa Valley, 2003
$29.99
|
 |
A special friend  , Oh and maybe some Manchego Cheese or dark chocolate |
The O'Brien Family Seduction lives up to its name with a sensual deep color and provocative aromas.
Notes of plum, dried cherry, and currants are accented by exotic notes of allspice and clove. The cedar and vanilla laced oak effortlessly makes the
sum seem so much greater than the parts. On the palate this wine really seduces with a rich, round entry, bold ripe flavors, and a sexy earthiness
that carries through the long, warm finish. The texture is suave and expansive with just enough grip and acidity to catch your attention, yet a
plushness that is immediately appealing.
Seduction is a proprietary red blend of Bordeaux varietal grapes from Napa Valley appellation. 1967 cases produced. |
Buehler Cabernet Sauvignon Estate
Napa Valley,
1996
$26.99
|
 |
Lamb, Delmonico Steak, Bleu Cheese... or the Buehler 2003 Cab |
When's the last time you tried a '96 Cab?! If you don't have a deep cellar, probably not recently. We've managed to get our hands on a few cases of this medium-bodied "old-world" style cabernet from a quintessential Napa Cab producer. Herbal notes, with firm tannins and a long finish. |
Belmonte Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough,
New Zealand, 2004
$15.99
|
 |
Fish, Shellfish or goat cheese |
Fresh and intense! This medium to full-bodied "kiwi style" sauvignon blanc is brimming with citrus fruits and mineral flavors, with a long, zesty finish. New Zealand s.b. fans won't be surprised to find that this lip-smacking wine is made right next door to the acclaimed Cloudy Bay--but boasts much more affordable pricing.

Pannaroz
Jumilla, Spain
2004
$10.99
|
 |
A hearty winter meal |
Immediate gratification!! According to wine guru and self-proclaimed hedonist Robert Parker, this Mourvedre/Grenache/Syrah
blend "boasts an inky/ruby/purple color as well as a big, sweet nose of scorched earth, chocolate, blackberries, and cherries, and an opulent, medium-bodied, fruit-filled
personality with lovely glycerin, a savory texture, and a pure, long finish...a gorgeous Spanish red to drink over the next 1-2 years." What are you waiting for? Don't miss
it! 90 pts.--Robert Parker
