2021	Frey	Merlot North Coast	Nuances of molten chocolate, blackberry and candied orange slices dance across the nose on this wine, evoking memories of holiday fruit cake. The flavors are spot on, with more baked fruit, clove, cardamom and a lingering, dry finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-04-07
2018	Henners	Blanc de Blancs	From a top vintage in England, this is a beautifully crafted bubbly, enticing with opulent honeyed toast, fresh hazelnut (or “cobnut” as the Brits say), butterscotch and lemon-brioche aromas. A crystalline line of acidity and fine mousse cuts through the richness. There’s lovely concentration and length, those honeyed, creamy notes lingering. A classy bottling for a special occasion. Editor’s Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	96		2025-04-07
2023	Frey	Chardonnay	Aromas of this wine suggest fresh citrus, white nectarine and dried persimmon. The fruit is youthful on the palate and the acidity is higher, with dried melon and pineapple on the finish. Pair with roasted sole. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-04-07
2022	Frey	Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast	From a leader in organic production, this wine is fresh and vibrant with aromas of blackberry, black plum, orange zest, chicory and baking spice on the nose.

2024	Domaine de la Fouquette	Cotes de Provence 'Rose d'Aurore'	The nose of this wine is like a tropical-fruit smoothie.

2022	Carol Shelton	Zinfandel 'Wild Thing' Mendocino County	A Zin with pizzaz and an easy-going personality, this serves up lively cherry, cranberry, grilled sage and black pepper flavors that end on a perky note. Drink now through 2031.	Wine Spectator	92		2025-04-07
2023	Two Hands	Shiraz 'Gnarly Dudes' Barossa Valley	There’s a tangy beet-root note amidst concentrated blackberry and plum fruit, sprinkled with black pepper and mint on this oh-so-Aussie Shiraz. The palate shows density and tension, with savory tannins woven through plump dark-berry fruit and a sense of restraint amidst the heft. Drink now, with a steak at hand or over the next decade.

2022	Pacific Redwood	Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast	This wine lives up to its name, with a flavor profile influenced by the redwoods and the ocean.

Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-04-07
NV	Bluebird Distilling	Char and Stave Coffee Liqueur	Made with Arabica coffee from roaster Char and Stave and a vodka base from Bluebird. The appearance, aroma and flavor suggest lightly sweetened cold brew coffee, finishing with hints of plum skin and clove heat. Would be stellar in an espresso martini.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2025-04-07
2023	Quinta da Calcada	Vinho Verde 'Terroir Alvarinho'	There is a vibrant bite to this wine with its honey and lemon aroma and tight minerality and almond flavors. The wine’s herbal edge is set to soften. Drink from 2026. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2025-04-07
