Featured Wines
Iron Horse "Lark Creek Cuvee" Rose, Green Valley, Sonoma County 2007
Okay, we admit it, we’re proud parents...Iron Horse has made this special sparkling wine for us for over 20 years. These bottles represent a great deal of work and patience while remaining a terrific value - mostly Pinot Noir with great fruit & crisp acidity, enough body to be enjoyed with food and the fine mousse that is the mark of quality in sparkling wines. 13.25 / 51.00
Morgan Twelve Clones Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands 2010
A special wine from a special appellation. The Santa Lucia Highlands is a hot spot for pinot noir--or is it cool?--cold nights and warm days are a haven for the fickle grape. Morgan’s lengthy experience with these vineyards shows in this excellent wine. 12.50 / 48.00
Verdad Albarino, Sawyer-Lindquist Vineyard, Edna Valley 2011
It would be silly not to offer a great wine for oysters, don’t you think?... Minerals? Check. Refreshing acidity? Ditto. Great value? Absolutely... 8.75 / 33.00
