Gallo of Sonoma 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
Gallo of Sonoma brings us a great bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon wine for the price! Nice aroma’s of raspberry, currant and spice on the nose with a smooth and lingering finish! Not our absolute favorite Cabernet BUT for that price, it’s a very drinkable red wine!
Food pairing ideas:
Try this or any other Cabernet Sauvignon with some red meat. This wine goes great with some bbq’d steak or with almost any grilled or smoked red meat.

Byron 2004 Pinot Noir
A very fine bottle of Pinot Noir from the Santa Maria Valley! Very smooth and very much worth the $25-$29 price of admission. Very tasty…one of our favorite Pinot Noir’s! Make sure you put Byron on your list of wineries to visit when you’re in the Santa Barbara area. Some of their wines you can only get from the vineyard directly.
From the winemaker:
There are rich aromas of red plum, leather and clove that are highlighted by accents of jasmine and earthiness. The wine displays excellent intensity of flavor, featuring hints of black cherry, plum, brown spice and subtle nuances of French oak. Natural acidity and smooth tannins support the silky mid-palate. The wine culminates in a long, smoky finish.

Wiens Family Cellars 2005 Viognier
This past weekend we went to Temecula, California to attend the Balloon and Wine Festival and decided to make a stop off at Wiens winery along the way. So glad we did. Wiens winery had some very nice wines, especially for those warm summer days.
This California Viognier, is perfect chilled and server on a warm day. As the label says, it’s “Luscious, full bodied, and rich.” Some great fruity flavors of pear and apricot with notes of floral and spice make this a very drinkable Viognier white wine.
Food pairing ideas:
Tastes great with some grilled seafood, chicken or goat cheese.
You can order through the wonderful staff at Wiens: 888.98.WIENS
