Simonnet-Febvre 2014 Chablis (Jen & Jerry)
A barrel maker named Jean Febvre founded Simonnet-Febvre in 1840. Maison Louis Latour acquired and updated the properties and facilities in 2003, and with new talented winemaker Jean-Philippe Archambaud in place have been delivering high quality, well-rated Chablis for seriously good prices! This version earned 88pts Robert Parker. Apple and granite scents draw you in to this reserved, classically styled Chablis with fresh acidity. Wonderful with oysters, white fish, or shrimp dishes.

Teso la Monja Romanico 2012 Toro, Spain (Pat H.)
Made from 100% Tinto de Toro (another name for Tempranillo), this fabulous big, bold red was rated 92pts by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, “superb richness as well as lots of blackberry, charcoal and cassis intermixed with licorice, new saddle leather, pepper and bouquet garni.” A seriously great wine that won’t break the bank!

This is a rich, full-bodied Shiraz, rated 91pts Wine Spectator. Plum, black cherry and roasted nut on the nose intertwine with cinnamon, vanilla and dark chocolate. The palate is jam packed with plums and black cherries, strawberries and vanilla custard. 19 months in French and American oak barrels provide richness and structure.

Forrest 2011 Botrytised Riesling, Marlborough, New Zealand (Andres)
A dessert wine that showcases a backbone of Riesling, accented by flavors of marmalade, dried Turkish apricots, kumquat, toffee, and orange. The sweet, opulent palate finishes clean and with balance. You can pair this with innumerable desserts such as pastry and cookies but it is also a nice surprise with a selection of hard cheeses and nuts.
