summer wine specials

here are three dazzling, unique white wines that
will chill you and thrill you…

gruener veltliner, zahel 2005
(austria) glass $8
1/2-litre $28 • bottle $37
nice acidity, peach and mineral aromas
reminiscent of an auxerrois; interesting wine
excellent with shellfish, salmon, and pungent greens

gavi, pio cesare 2004
(alba, Italia) bottle $43
wonderfully complex, smooth and elegant
vanilla and silk sensibility, but with an edge
drink with chicken, fish, cream-based pasta dishes
 
sancerre, domaine henri pellé 2003
(france) bottle $53
a brilliant version of this sophisticated white, rich with layers, abundant with citrus and late summer flowers,
and with a long, dry finish that lingers and evolves
ideal with shrimp and salmon, firm enough for duck


these wines are not likely to be available
once these case lots are finished,
so enjoy them while they are available!
