FEATURED WINES

2008 DOMAINE ASTRUC MARSANNE LIMOUX FRANCE  OUR PRICE $8.99
Produced in the Limoux area of Languedoc.  Expresses a strong varietal character with floral and pear flavors.  On the palate, it is smooth and round with good acidity which makes it vivid and fresh.  Long finish of acacia honey notes.

2008 SHONE FARM RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY BLOCK SIX CHARDONNAY  OUR PRICE $27.99
TRAVERSO'S EXCLUSIVE  This release is a collaboration of two Santa Rosa Junior College departments with production and bottling by students in the Wine Studies Program, and label design by a student in the Applied Graphics Program.  A tasting panel made up of local wine industry professionals described the wine as "aromas and flavor of melon, mango, Gravenstein apple and vanilla  along with a toasty oak highlight."  The panel judges the quality of the wine and determines the suggested retail price.  Only 24 cases produced!

TAITTINGER CUVEE PRESTIGE CHAMPAGNE  OUR PRICE $32.99
Taittinger Cuvée Prestige is produced exclusively from the first pressing of select Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes grown in the finest microclimates of the viticultural area of Champagne.  Taittinger's extensive vineyard holdings, totaling 752 acres in several of Champagne's most highly-rated vineyards, are third in importance in the region, allowing the firm to rely primarily on its own grapes for the production of its portfolio of cuvées.  Taittinger Cuvée Prestige is pale almond gold in color, punctuated by delicate strands of fine, persistent bubbles.

2008 CASCINA CASTLET MOSCATO D'ASTI PIEDMONTE ITALY  OUR PRICE $14.99
The age-old Piedmont white Muscat, known since Roman times.  The sweetness and strong aroma of this wine make aging unnecessary.  It should be drunk young, since its fragrance and freshness diminish in the course of time.  Brilliant pale straw yellow with delicate pale green hues.  A slight white foam disperses to form a lingering sea of bubbles.  Aromatic, flowery and fruity bouquet.  Pleasantly sweet and fresh palate due to its low alcoholic strength and correct acid taste.  A soft wine with the rich undertones typical of the Moscato grape. Intense and long-lasting aroma.
