2008 Sineann Gewurztraminer
This wine is from the Celilo vineyard in Washington. It's very Alsatian in style, with peaches, minerality and good acid along with fine length. Try this wine by itself or with Thai food.

2009 Bruno Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
This wine is made for Casa Bruno, an Oregon wine distributor and importer, at Evesham Wood winery. It is always an excellent wine at a great price. This vintage is no exception. It's a drink-it-now wine with lots of cherry, rhubarb and raspberry fruit and enough structure to support that fruit. It is, as always, available in very limited quantities.

2007 Easton Zinfandel Amador County
This is always an exceptional wine for a great price. Here are the winery's notes on this wine: "This is the eleventh release of our popularly-priced Amador County Zinfandel. It is made from grapes that grow on our beautiful, rolling mountain sites that have the classic, vermilion-colored, Amador decomposed granite soil. The 2007 has full black cherry and blackberry fruit aromas with a beautiful balance and a big, sumptuous, and juicy mouth feel. It also presents complex spicy aromas,with a nice creamy texture derived from the 10 months time it receives in French oak barrels. This wine has become our popular, but serious cru Beaujolais-styled Zinfandel that has found its way on to many great restaurant lists across North America where it is often listed "by the glass". It is consistently rated one of the top Zinfandels in its class and one of the best value Zins available. Although drinkable now, it gains complexity with bottle age. This wine's release has become highly anticipated by many of our customers each year. We think this 2007 bottling is our best effort yet."
