❤Discovery of Livermore Valley 3oz 6oz ◙2. Sémillon, Kalin Cellars, Livermore Valley 2001 8.50 16.00 Made from 100 year old vines, the wine was fermented in French oak for ten months and bottled without filtration, and just released after 14 years in bottle. It boasts lots of vigor and youthfulness with a light gold color; aromas of gravel and honeysuckle; flavors of figs, orange marmalade, melons and Umami! “Most wines evoke the taste sensations of sweet, salty, bitter and sour. Kalin Cellars wines are among the VERY, VERY few wines presently available that evoke the FIFTH Taste of Umami.” _ From the winery "Nobody in America gets more finesse and complexity as well as flavor out of their sauvignon blanc and semillon than Kalin and its extremely talented winemaker Terry Leighton." _ Robert Parker ◙3. Sauvignon Blanc, Kalin Cellars “Reserve”, Livermore Valley 2001 8.50 16.00 100+ year old vines from the Wente estate vineyards, with 20% Semillon and cuttings from Chateau d’Yquem. Yep, 2001 is the current release as Terry Leighton doesn’t release his wines until it’s fully developed, and in the case of his Sauvignon Blanc – 12 to 14 years. "An incredibly fresh, exuberant wine with beautiful caramelized citrus, honeysuckle, lanolin, medium to full body, great acidity and a long, heady finish." _ Robert Parker 5. Merlot, Cuda Ridge, Livermore Valley 2015 6.50 12.50 “Vibrant and complex with fruit as the fundamental structure of this wine. Fragrant red fruit aromas. Bold and complex on the palate with plums, dark cherries, cassis, leather, chocolate. Well balanced tannins and acid makes for a juicy finish”. _ From the winemaker 6. Cabernet Sauvignon, Wood Family “Viva”, Livermore Valley 2015 6.50 12.00 “This wine is a beautiful purple-red, very much like the color of fresh-squeezed pomegranate juice. It has classic cassis fruit as well as the flavor of melt-in-your-mouth chocolate covered cherries... dusky aromas of forest floor and finely ground black pepper emerge. The palate continues with chocolate-cherry flavors. But, don’t be fooled, this wine is dry and it has warm, chewy tannins with moderate acidity. The finish is long with black licorice & well- integrated oak”. _ From the Winemaker. 7. Cabernet Sauvignon, McGrail “Reserve”, Livermore Valley 2014 9.50 18.00 Editors’ Choice. “Richly textured and generously flavored, this wine shows how good Livermore Cabernet can be. Aged in new Hungarian barrels, it has cedar and spice aromas, seductive ripe fruit flavors and a mouth-filling, palate-soothing viscosity bolstered by loads of fine-grained tannins. Best from 2018”. _ Wine Enthusiast 8. Lineage Bordeaux Style Red Blend, Steven Kent Winery, Livermore Valley 2014 32.00 60.00 50% Cabernet Sauvignon; 35% Cabernet Franc; 10% Merlot; 5% Petit Verdot. “…Very dark in color and potent in flavor, the wine has grand proportions but is finely polished, leaving no rough edges. It starts with light wood smoke and cedar aromas, and proceeds to mouthfilling black-cherry and dark- chocolate flavors on a creamy but moderately tannic texture. The tannins are well integrated, the flavors are deep and persistent”. _ Wine Enthusiast FLIGHTS TO EXPLORE LIVERMORE (2oz pour each.

Crémant d’Alsace Brut, Dirler-Cade, Alsace 2014 6.50 12.00 "The 2014 Crémant d’Alsace Brut Nature blends Pinot Gris & Auxerrois with 5% of Pinot Noir, ... There is no dosage but a matured Riesling to fill the gap. The first part has been disgorged after 18 months. It is a light and delicate Crémant, …with a mineral backbone and a lovely refreshing and grippy finish." _ Stephan Reinhardt ☼12. Brut “Expression”, R.Geoffroy, Cumières - 1er Cru, Vallée de La Marne, Champagne NV 11.50 22.00 From a small grower & a premier cru village with red-grape dominated cuvées, it’s vibrant, graceful & silky. “This has a bright rose-hip and pink-fruit nose with a gently chalky edge. The palate has beautiful strawberry fruits and is really fresh and focused. Great finesse here. Polished tannins. Rich and pure. Drink now. A blend of 2010 and 2011: 50% Meunier, 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay." _ James Suckling ☼13. Brut Rosé Premier Cru, Gaston Chiquet, Champagne NV 11.50 22.00 40% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay. 1er Cru - Hautvillers, Dizy & Mareuil-sur-Aÿ; Grand Cru - Aÿ. “Fresh and open-knit, offering smoked almond, white peach, kumquat and white raspberry notes, with a lively bead and minerally finish…" _ Wine Spectator White Wines by the Glass 16. Pinot Grigio, Zuccolo, Friuli Grave, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy 2017 5.50 10.50 “Aromas of orchard fruit, wildflowers... Full and plush…; flavors of pear, white pepper, citrus”. _ From the winery 2/28/2019 Livermore 2
WINES BY THE GLASS CONTINUED… TASTE GLASS 3oz 6oz 19. Fiano di Avellino, Ciro Picariello, Campania, Italy 2016 8.00 15.00 Fiano was near extinction and saved here in Avellino. The wines are not unlike a white Burgundy in terms of its flintiness, spices and texture. This one, medium bodied, from high altitude vineyards, boasts aromas of flowers, apple and white peach; and fresh and savory flavors of citrus rind, nectarine and white fruit. 25. Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc “Le Grand Senais”, Dominique Crochet, Loire, France 2015 6.50 12.00 “Shiny yellow color. White flowers, citrus and pear powerful aromas. Also mineral. On the palate, the wine is smooth, full bodied and long on the finish…” _ From the Winemaker
30. Aligoté, Domaine Marc Colin, Côte-d’Or, France 2016 6.50 12.00 This famous white wine producer in Burgundy works some of greatest plots and vineyards including Le Montrachet & Bâtard-Montrachet.

Chablis Chardonnay, Jean-Marc Brocard “Sainte-Claire”, Côte-d’Or, France 2017 7.50 14.00 “The 2017 Chablis Domaine Sainte Claire is appreciably superior, wafting from the glass with aromas of lemon oil, wheat toast and dried white flowers. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, glossy and textural, with more concentration, depth and tension”. _ William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 35. Chardonnay, Puligny-Montrachet, Paul Chapelle, Côte-d'Or 2009 12.00 23.00 Without a doubt, Puligny-Montrachet of Burgundy is one of few most glorious villages in producing world class Chardonnay. It makes Chardonnay that is powerful yet broad and graceful. Chapelle, a former mayor and an enologist, has been a consultant for some of the top producers in the Côte de Beaune region (Ramonet, Jobard, Lafarge, Pousse d'Or, Simon Bize, Paul Pernot and de Montille, to name a few). This one is buttery boasting blossom, stone fruit & bread dough aromas; baked apple, pear, citrus, cool stone flavors with a rich mineral finish. ◙36. Chardonnay, Kalin Cellars “Cuvée D, Dutton Ranch”, Sonoma Coast 1995 11.50 22.00 “Dutton Ranch produces Chardonnay that exhibits exceptional breed and refined fruit complexities. The scent & flavor of this wine seems to emanate from the surrounding Gravenstein apple orchards & is reminiscent of freshly baked apple tart, ground cinnamon, roasted almonds, etc. The unusual structure of this fogscape wine combines power,richness & a fruit-acid freshness that enables sustained bottle development.”_From the winery “Invariably some of California’s greatest Grand Cru Chardonnay bottlings.” _ John Gilman, View from the Cellar
39. Dry Riesling, Empire Estate, Finger Lake, New York 2017 6.00 11.00 “Dazzling silver-gold in color, on the nose there are intense mineral aromas of shale, gravel & limestone, combined with notes of white flower, golden apple, peach & lemon oil. A focused burst of acidity hits the palate, followed by flavors of fresh apricot, lime & grapefruit pith, all leading to a weighty, savory mineral finish”. _ From the Wimery 40. Riesling-Kabinett, Andreas Schmitges “Red Slate”, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer 2015 6.25 12.00 Most people hesitate to give German Riesling a try: “I don’t like sweet wines”. But they would fall in love with it after the first sip. It is charming & intriguing rather than cloying because of its intrinsic acidity balance! Grown in red slate, this is a youthful, vibrant, light-bodied, luscious wine with lovely flavors of ripe pear, peach, citrus & lime. 42. Riesling Hallgartener Jungfer-Spätlese Goldkapsel, Prinz, Rheingau, Germany 375ml 2007 8.00 15.00 This one comes from the original part of the Hallgartner Jungfer vineyard. It boasts super intensity with clear yellow-green color, grapefruit and slate aromas, and deep ripe peach, apricot, golden delicious apples and honey flavors. It offers power, high viscosity and great acidity balance! 44. Riesling Bernkasteler Doctor-Spätlese, Weingüter Wegeler, Mosel, Germany 375ml 2005 12.75 25.00 The legendary "Bernkasteler Doctor" is the most famous vineyard in Germany! It’s small, about 8.1 acres, south facing & with an extremely steep slope, about 45-60 percent & dark, weathered slate. The story began in 14th- Century prince-bishop Boemund II of Trier drank two bottles of wine from the vineyard and was cured of a terminal illness overnight, hence the name of the plot. This one is powerful yet pure with the nose of almond, coconut, petro & saffron-wax botrytis. On the palate it’s luscious,ripe & creamy with flavors of lemon pie, stone, marmalade.
47. Chasselas, Epesses “La Crosse”, Luc Massy, Epesses, Switzerland 2012 6.50 12.00 “It is a collection of reminiscent flavors: it’s got the whiff of sweet-green Alpine air like “Maje” from Bruna, it’s got a bit of licorice like Colin’s Aligoté and that soft, round texture like Marsanne from Les Oliviers vineyard. There’s a cream and a tang similar to the great wines of Gadais, a fleck of waxy gold like Dezi’s Verdicchio. It’s hard to describe this wine; if you have a well-traveled and open-minded palate, it will get you”. _ From the Winery OVER, PLEASE! WINES BY THE GLASS CONTINUED… 3

48. Pinot Auxerrois “Vieilles Vignes”, Domaine Albert Mann, Alsace 2016 6.50 12.00 “A very pretty and charming dry white with moderate acidity, but some really interesting spicy and nutty notes as well as beautiful balance at the silky finish”. _ James Suckling 49. Pinot Gris “Winzenberg”- Grand Cru, Hubert Meyer, Blienschwiller, Alsace 2015 8.00 15.00 "This elegant Pinot Gris delivers the smoothness of a granitic soil with a flexible, round and medium-bodied flavor. The nose is filled with mineral, pear and stone fruit. On the palate, the wine envelops the mouth and caresses the palate with a touch of residual sugar and its fresh acidity and finishes dry. Although it certainly asserts itself now, this great wine will affirm its designation as a Grand Cru with age..." _ From the winery 52. Gewürztraminer “Kessler” - Grand Cru, Domaine Dirler‐Cadé, Bergholtz, Alsace 2014 7.50 14.00 Off dry. “Beautiful golden dress. It reveals a complex nose, notes of rose, plum and anise. The mouth presents a beautiful minerality and a lot of finesse...” _ The Art Advisory of Strasbourg Wine
Rosé Wines by the Glass Dry & refreshing, they are made with either one of the following methods: soak the skin & juice together for a few days then separate; or separate first,then pour skin juice back into the freerun batch to intensify the color & flavors.
58. Pinot Gris Rosé “Aurosa”, Antiquum Farm, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2017 8.50 16.00 “This unique wine, labeled rosé, is a lovely rose-toned copper. But is it really a rosé, or just a rich, phenolic white? However you label it, call it delicious; its rose petal, bee pollen and strawberry scents and flavors are concentrated and creamy. It spent six months on the lees—half in stainless steel and half in neutral oak”. _ Wine Enthusiast 59. Pinot Noir Rosé, Marsannay, Charles Audoin, Côte-d’Or 2017 7.50 14.00 Burgundy Rosé is considered a “poor man’s Mercedes” because the red wine is expensive. Often, Burgundians keep it for them-selves. This one is full of fruit and personality without being boisterous. It’s crisp, fresh with delicate
berry, cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, a hint of flower & mineral flavors. 61. Fleur de Cinsault Rosé, Domaine de la Barthassade, IGP Pays d'Herault, Languedoc 2017 6.00 11.00 100% Cinsault. Golden, light salmon color. Dry, fresh and delicate on the palate with intense flavors of slight spice and fresh berry fruit.

Within a few years their wines are among the best in the appellation. 62. Gamay Rosé, Vin du Bugey-Cerdon “La Cueille”, Patrick Bottex, Savoie, France NV 6.75 12.75 Slightly sparkling, totally original with flavors of strawberries & raspberries, from Savoie high in the French Alps.
Red Wines by the Glass
64. Gamay, Moulin a Vent “Domaine Les Gryphées”, Pierre Durdilly, Beaujolais 2016 6.00 11.00 It’s a great deal for a cru classified Beaujolais! Moulin-à-Vent combines the floral elegance of cru Fleurie and the muscle of cru Morgon for a supple, balanced and beautiful Gamay wine that is fruity and expressive in its youth yet can age gracefully over a number of years. This is a charming and refine yet powerful Moulin. It is complex and savory with floral and white pepper aromas; flavors of red berry, dark cherry fruit and violets. 65. Pinot Noir, Hilliard Bruce “Earth”, Santa Rita Hills 2014 8.00 15.00 “The 2014 Pinot Noir Earth is an attractive, mid-weight wine. Crushed flowers, sweet red cherries, mint, and tobacco are laced together in a pretty and expressive Pinot that is likely to offer its best drinking sooner rather than later. Rose petal, dried cherries, mint and licorice add the closing shades of nuance...” _ Vinous ◙66. Pinot Noir, Kalin Cellars “Cuvee DD”, Sonoma County 2000 14.50 28.00 Kalin’s wines are as unique as you can get from California. They have just released their 2000 Cuvee DD and we are so lucky to be maybe one of, if not the first who carries it, not to mention pours it! The fruit comes from the David Demostene Ranch in the Alexander Valley, the oldest Pinot Noir planting in the region, and it’s dry-farmed. Bricked cherry and tawny color; violets, brown sugar, Chinese five spice, umami, barnyard aromas; and cherry, red fruit, licorice, mushroom notes. It competes with a great Burgundy but at a fraction of the price!
Burgundy, the 54 mile slope located in mid-east of France, is undisputedly the Pinot Noir holy land of the world! It produces charming wines that are elegant, sophisticated, restrained, silky when it’s well aged, and engaging to the palate and food! “By making this wine vine (Pinot Noir) known to the public, I have rendered my country as great a service as if I had enabled it to pay back the national debt.” _ Thomas Jefferson 68. Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Domaine Amiot Servelle, Côte-d'Or 2015 7.50 14.00 Domaine Amiot-Servelle which its main holdings, organically farmed, are in Chambolle Musigny and Clos Vougeot. This one is from the plots in Chambolle Musigny, with deep ruby color, ripe, toasted aromas of cherry,blackcurrant and violets. On the palate it’s intense and rich with pleasant dark berry fruit & earth flavors, and silky tannins. OVER, PLEASE, WINES BY THE GLASS CONTINUED… 4
RED WINES BY THE GLASS – PINOT NOIR – BURGUNDY CONTINUED… TASTE GLASS 3oz 6oz 69. Bourgogne Rouge “Oka”, Domaine Arlaud, Côte-d'Or 2016 8.00 15.00 This top estate is based in Morey-Saint-Denis and makes Burgundies that are as clean, natural and traditional as you can get. The wines are done biodynamically with minimal intervention possible. Everything is handmade and the wines are not fined and filtered. This basic Bourgogne level red is sourced from averagely 40 years old vines; ½ from Morey St Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot; ½ from Hautes Côtes de Nuits and Côtes de Nuits.

On the palate, it is energetic and a bit tart with berry, cranberry, cherry, plum and slight earth notes. 71. Dolcetto d’Alba, Oddero, Piedmont 2017 6.00 11.00 The Oddero estate dates back to the end of the 18th Century and it owns a great collection of legendary sites as one of oldest Barolo producers. This charming and clean Dolcetto comes from two great sites that are higher in altitude and they bear 30-50 years old vines. It looks in dark ruby red with a purple tinge color and it smells fresh, with a bit fragrant and red fruit aroma. On the palate it is full bodied, silky and pure with intense and solid blackberry and cherry fruit flavors. 72. Prats & Symington “Post Scriptum de Chryseia” Red, Douro Valley, Portugal 2015 5.50 10.00 Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz. “Deep garnet centre with vivid velvet-red rim. Aromas of plums and attractive resinous notes. Lush and mouth-filling with satisfying pure and compact black fruits, displaying undertones of mineral and spice, underscored by fine acidity”. _ Revista de Vinhos 74. Cabernet Franc, Bourgueil “La Coudraye”, Yannick Amirault, Loire 2017 6.50 12.00 One of the most remarkable meals I have ever had was in the Paris train station, a lunch, with a fresh and juicy Franc from this village paired with a simple and baked salmon dish. It was the end of the world! “Ripe, fleshy and driven, with a delicious core of crushed plum, cassis and blackberry fruit lined with dark tobacco leaf, singed chestnut, violet, olive and rosemary. The long finish features a deeply embedded chalky spine, giving this definition while remaining supple”. _ Wine Spectator 76. Malbec “Terroir”, Altos Ias Hormigas, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina 2016 5.75 10.50 “The juicy and unoaked…Malbec Clásico represents the variety in the Mendoza province, with bright red fruit, approachable and easy to understand through sourcing grapes from different zones, but looking for cooler soils rich in sand and with some clay and lime. 2015 represents a big change for this bottling, which has a higher percentage of grapes from the Valle de Uco. The destemmed grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and the wine was kept in concrete vats for one year before bottling. The fruit is ripe, fruit-driven, with a juicy palate, with fine tannins and subdued minerality. The wine is subtle and balanced, easy to drink...This has to be one of the best values in Mendoza…” _ Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 78. Château Castera - Cru Bourgeois, Médoc, Bordeaux 2010 7.50 14.00 Bordeaux red blend: 65 % Merlot, 25 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 5 % Cabernet Franc, 5 % Petit Verdot. “…has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, rose petals a just a faint touch of juniper berries. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit on the entry: redcurrant, raspberry & a touch of balsamic. It builds in the mouth towards the structured, dense finish that demonstrates fine persistency. Impressive…”. _ Robert Parker 79. Red Blend, Madroña "Quintet, Signature Colletion, Estate Grown”, El Dorado 2013 9.50 18.00 Our favorite winery from the Central Valley. 39% Cabernet, 23% Merlot, 20% Petit Verdot, 11% Malbec, 7% Franc. “The aromas are an earthy expression of the Bordeaux varieties with a dark brooding berry character leaning towards black currant and ripe blackberry. With hints of vanilla spice and an intriguing milk chocolate note, the nose just continues to develop. The entry on the palate, however, is focused with bold bing cherry fruit enveloping everything. The second sip showcases the complexity of Cabernet throughout the mid-palate with that dash of…, spice and currants”. _ From the Winery 82. Côtes du Rhône “Le Poutet”, Domaine Charvin, Rhône, France 2016 7.50 14.00 “The 2015 Côtes du Rhône is classic Charvin and offers lots of kirsch and blackberry fruits, garrigue, white pepper and sappy herbs in its medium-bodied, polished, elegant, yet tight and firm personality. Give it a year or two in bottle and it will still be drinking beautifully at ten years of age.” _ Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate 84. Syrah, Crozes-Hermitage “Les Jalets”, Paul Jaboulet Aîné, Rhône, France 2015 8.00 15.00 “Deep bright-rimmed ruby. Ripe black & blue fruits, licorice & violet on the nose, lifted by a spicy peppery element. Chewy cassis & bitter cherry flavors open up slowly, becoming sweeter & picking up a hint of mocha. Dusty tannins shape the finish, which hangs on with very good, spicy persistence”. _ Antonio Galloni's Vinous 85. Zinfandel, Cline “Ancient Vines”, Contra Costa County 2016 6.50 12.00 WS TOP 100 2018, Ranked #40. “Lively and supple, with floral raspberry and fresh pepper aromas and sleekly appealing cherry and licorice flavors that glide lightly along the finish.

FULL BOTTLES FRENCH CHAMPAGNE & SPARKLING WINES OF THE WORLD The Region of Champagne CHAMPAGNE, ITS VILLAGES, GROWERS, HOUSES & LUXURY CUVÉES Grower Fizz is a new era! More & more growers are bottling their own juice (estate bottled) under their own label instead of selling it off to a (bigger) House which then would blend it together with the one bought from other growers for style and consistency. Perhaps Grower Fizz offers the history & soul of the land while Champagne from a House boasts the personality of the people who run it.

Kalin Cellars “Stealth Cuvée, Le Willy” 1994 125.00 This is one of Kalin’s several stealth cuvees, “Le Willy”, not the regular “Cuvee W” 1994 which was long gone! There are only about 80 cases of this special cuvee made. It is produced from the original 47 acre establishment of the Wente estate in 1883, and by Wente Burgundian clone. This wine is dedicated to Willy Joslin, the viticulturist and winemaker at Wente from the late 70’s to the early 90’s. He played a great role in guiding the viticultural development of the Livermore Valley and the modern Wente Clone of Chardonnay. The wine tastes like it's a fine grand cru Burgundy with half Puligny-Montrachet & Meursault-Like! 687. Occasio “Del Arroyo Vineyard” 2015 50.00 688. Rosa Fierro “The Unoaked” 2016 43.00 691.

This wine has an oxidative sherry-like characteristic on the aroma as well as the palate due to the nature and the making of the wines from the grape Savagnin which is responsible for the sherry-like vin-juane. It is medium-bodied and concentrated, refreshing and delicate with nutty and weed flavors. It is something little-known in the United States.

Rhône-Like Red Wines of the World - Petite Sirah (Durif) Durif is a variety of red wine grape primarily grown in California, Australia, France, and Israel. It was cultivated in the early 20th century in areas like Isère and Ardèche in the region of Rhône-Alpes. The grape is named after François Durif, a botanist at the University of Montpellier. It was in a Peloursin vineyard near the university that he discovered the unique vine that he named for himself in 1880. As a conclusion of DNA fingerprinting at the University of California, Davis in 1997, Syrah was identified as the source of the pollen that originally crossed with Peloursin flowers.

The Red Wines of Rhône Valley, France Southern Rhône, with villages like Châteauneuf-du-Pape & Gigondas, with its Mediterranean climate, is famous for the lusty and full-body Grenache & the chewy Mouvèdre while Northern Rhône, with Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Côte-Rôtie and Cornas, makes rich & often powerful Syrah. Rhône offers good value because it's still not yet highly commercialized. Rhône wines are flexible with spicy cuisine.

GROWER FIZZ
Have you ever seen a Champagne label baring the name of a village where the juice is from and then the status name such as “Grand Cru” or “Premier Cru”? Probably rarely, for blending (juice from different areas) has been the way in the past and village names would not be allowed to be mentioned. Big and famous houses have, and still continue to practice the “art” of blending for volume and consistency. They buy juice from growers who have great vineyard holdings in different areas. Now growers are selling wines under their own label. They possess the best juice & value but not the financial power. A good grower’s fizz contains entirely or almost all Grand Cru or Premier Cru juice, even in its N.V. bottling. Yet they are priced at the level of a regular cuvée, not the $200 luxury cuvée of a house. And even such a luxury cuvee sometimes may not even carry 100% Grand Cru juice in it. Then, will “blending” still be the future, or will grower champagne have it its way? You will be the judge, eventually!
