Rosé

TEMPRANILLO, FINCA TORREMILANOS, “MONTE CASTRILLO” RIBERA DEL DUERO, SPAIN, 2010

tempranillo is the grape variety that is used in the famous red wines of rioja. as a rosé, tempranillo has complexity and is an excellent pairing for a wide variety of foods, from seafood to grilled cuts of beef. a sip of this wine begins with a fresh floral, fruity quality and ends with a hint of smoke and gravel.—48

White

NASCETTA, ELLENA GIUSEPPE, PIEDMONT, ITALY, 2010

in piedmont, the nascetta grape is known as il dimenticato, or “the forgotten one.” once nearly extinct, it is now experiencing a resurgence by quality winemakers in piedmont. nascetta produces wines with vibrant floral aromatics, high acidity, and underlying mineral tones. the langhe region of piedmont is now poised to produce world-class wines from the widely misunderstood nascetta grape.—64

GAILLAC, DOMAINE PHILEMON, FRANCE, 2011

made predominately from sauvignon blanc and the indigenous french varieties len de l’el and mauzac. gaillac blanc features strongly pronounced minerality, with notes of celery, green pepper and spicy pear. the wine also has a slight effervescence from secondary fermentation in the bottle.—54

GEWÜRZTRAMINER, HERMANN J. WIEMER, FINGER LAKES, NEW YORK, 2010

the finger lakes region of upstate new york has the perfect climate for growing cool-weather grapes such as gewürztraminer. the 2010 vintage, with its long ripening period, and plenty of sunshine proves that new york can make fine white wine. hermann j. weimer was recently featured in wine spectator’s first-ever finger lakes tasting report in january 2013. —68

Red

NERO D’AVOLA, MANDAROSSA, SICILY, 2010

native to the island of sicily, nero d’avola produces wines that are akin to syrah. black peppercorn and dark plum make up nero d’avola’s complex flavor profile. volcanic soil is common in sicily, which contributes a subtle ash-laden aroma to the wine.—45

CABERNET SAUVIGNON VIÑA COBOS, “FELINO” MENDOZA, ARGENTINA, 2011

viña cobos is a fairly new up-and-coming winery founded by the famous paul hobbs of california. just like his napa cabernet, the vinos cobos “felino” has a highly extracted berry aroma and a rich, smooth palate with just the right amount of oak spice. the viña cobos vineyards in mendoza reach incredible heights up to 3,500 feet, which imparts a fresh spearmint and herbal character to the wine.—68

GRENACHE, AUSTIN HOPE, PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA, 2010

paso robles is fast becoming a region that is known for producing fine rhône-style wines. this grenache is bursting with flavors of raspberry jam, and a peppery note that is reminiscent of côtes du rhône and gigondas. austin hope makes this bottling with 100% estate grown fruit and ages his grenache for nine months in french oak. —96
