	FRANCIS COPPOLA CLARET This Bordeaux style wine is one of my all time favorites. Dark inky color with aromas of mocha and plum and even vanilla. Try this next time you splurge on filet, especially with Gorgonzola butter. (Just mix equal parts of Gorgonzola cheese with butter. Yum) $20.99
	TWO HANDS ANGEL'S SHARE SHIRAZ Spice, chocolate and almonds show up in one of my Australian favorites!! Velvety and rich with aromas of cedar and black ripe berries. Make sure you pair this heartier style wine with a hearty dish. $39.99

	BELLE GLOS MEIOMI PINOT NOIR This wine instantly became one of my favorites from the moment I tried it. This wonderful full-bodied Pinot Noir just melts in your mouth with nice berry flavors and rich texture. It pairs well with white or red meat and retails for $30.99.
	HOGUE LATE HARVEST RIESLING One of my favorite everyday wines on the fruitier side is Hogue Late Harvest Riesling. The grapes are harvested later in the season to give it an extra touch of sweetness and nice balanced fruit flavors. This delightful wine pairs well with desserts and cheeses and retails for only $9.99.

	TUCK BECKSTOFFER 75 SAUVIGNON BLANC This Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is so special because it is obvious the winemaker went above and beyond to create this masterpiece. The texture is rich and creamy with flavors of passion fruit, citrus, grass, pineapple, melon, pear, and subtle grapefruit. Delicious with scallops! $16.99
	PETER LEHMANN CABERNET SAUVIGNON This Australian Cabernet has quickly become one of my favorite wines. Aromas of dark chocolate and berries capture my attention immediately followed by mouth-filling flavors of dark, rich berries ended with a rich and elegant finish. I love this wine with the robust flavor of Irish Dubliner cheese. It also pairs great with cheddar or gouda cheese. $17.99
	Kim's Picks
	CRIOS ROSE OF MALBEC This wine continues to be one of my favorites because it is so food friendly. It is medium bodied with hints of strawberries and cherries yet finished dry. Pairs well with smoked pork chops. $13.99
	STRONG ARMS SHIRAZ One of my favorite reds because of it's soft tannins and ripe red fruits. Try alongside a beef fillet with tomato based sauce. $13.99
	Mel's Picks
	337 CABERNET SAUVIGNON One of my favorite hearty reds for cooler weather, especially for the money. A bold but luscious wine with hints of spice and blackberry. Great with slow roasted meats. $13.99
	MELINI CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA "LA SELVANELLA" When I want a special treat for dinner, this wine always delivers. It's loaded with dense red fruits like wild cherries and currants yet has a plush mouthfeel. We're talking the perfect match with spaghetti and meatballs!! $29.99
	Phil's Picks
	EARTHQUAKE ZINFANDEL Produced by Michael & David Phillips, this Zinfandel is the wine I gage all other Zindandels by. It is Big, I should say Huge, very jammy (exploding with fruit) enough to make Smuckers jealous. Who needs to pair it with a meal? Just enjoy by the glass! My favorite!! $26.99
	SILVER BIRCH SAUVIGNON BLANC I started writing about Brancott's New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but then remembered Silver Birch box wine. With the explosion of box wines this year, I finally found a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that holds true to its profile. Great aromas of citrus, grapefruit, and balanced acidity. Very enjoyable for evenings on the porch listening to the cicadas! $19.99 3ltrs
