Roero Arneis is the white grape version of Roero. The DOCG is located in the Piedmont region of Italy. The terroir of Roero is known for chalky and sandy soils that yield wine with acidity and structure. It is just North of Alba. 425 hectares are designated for the Arneis grape variety. The area is named after the family that ruled over the lands in ancient feudal times. The white is required to be made of 100% Arneis and aged for eight months at the very least. The aroma of the wine is most well-known, having notes of white flowers, and flavors of apples, pears, apricots, hazlenuts, and almonds. The Roero Arneis presents with full body with a long finish.

Far Niente Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.5% Merlot, 2.5% Malbec, 2.5% Petit Verdot, 0.5% Cabernet Franc.
Beautiful aromas of dark plum, red cherry, licorice and warm baking spices open onto a plush and silky palate layered with plum, spiced cherry and cassis. A classic Napa Valley Cabernet, fine-grained tannins and lively acidity support the wine throughout, while the finish is refined and polished.
Review:
Very precisely polished and focused wine with aromas of black cherries, blue berries and violets followed by green bell pepper, black ink and gravel. Underlying umami notes, too. Full-bodied, firm yet finely grained juicy tannins with bright acidity that balances out the palate. Beautifully integrated toasty notes and baking spices on the mid-palate and in the finish. Flourishing and artful wine that will age gracefully.

Collier Creek Old Press Zinfandel is made from 93% Zinfandel and 7% Petite Sirah.
Nestled in the heart of the Lodi Appellation, where farmland ran as far as the eye could see, Collier Creek is a place that reminds us of simpler times. The ol' press may look different these days, but this Zinfandel is still a classic with notes of dark fruit, baking spice, vanilla and a velvet mouthfeel.
Pair with blue cheese, bbq pork ribs, leg of lamb.
