This Week’s Wine Menu

by Farley

This is a really good one, if I do say so myself…

Complimentary Tasting

Whites

2006 Chardonnay, Rust Ridge Vineyard, Napa Valley $25

If you shy away from excessively oaky Chardonnay, raise your glass for this:abundant lime, apple, and minerality

2006 Chateau La Paws Côte du Bone Blanc $14

Five grapes sing in harmony—notes of peaches, apples, apricots, and cinnamon

Reds

2005 Zinfandel, Paso Robles, Appellation Series $18

Imagine stepping through a wardrobe and into the wintry woods of Narnia:
cedar, forest floor, vanilla, cherries, and strawberries

2005 Zinfandel, Planchon Vineyard, San Francisco Bay $25

Smooth as rose petals and twice as fragrant…
plums, black cherries, smoke, cloves, and white pepper

2005 Petite Sirah, Pickett Road , Napa Valley $35

This one creeps up on you like a cat on crimson carpet,
scattering blueberries, currants, and smoky blackberries along its way

*Reserve Flight - $5.00 *

2005 Zinfandel, Maggie’s Reserve, Sonoma Valley $45

Like waking up to a cup of black tea with blueberry and raspberry muffins

2005 Zinfandel, Lyons Reserve, Napa Valley $45

Don’t even bother to order take-out: teriyaki beef and black pepper
along with cherries and currants

2005 Petite Sirah, Rockpile Road Reserve, Rockpile $45

Rubies will fall at your feet
when pouring cocoa, black cherry, smoke, and licorice
