Hin Areni Areni Noir Reserve - $20

Areni Noir Grape from Vayotz Dzor, Armenia.  A delicate yet charming rustic dance of white and black pepper presents beautifully on top of notes of cherry and pomegranate with a silky, tart, well rounded texture.  One of the oldest traditions of wine making will bring a present fount of joy to your dinner table.

Chateau Gaillard Beaujolais Villages - $16

Gamay Grape from Eastern France.  To all creatures great and small at the Turkey Circus, presenting your Ringmaster.  A wide spectrum of instant fresh dark to red fruits are deepened by prickly green herbs and clean earthiness on a bright, low tannin, gulp-worthy palate.

Domaine Pelaquie Tavel Rose - $20

Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault Rose from Southern France.  Punchy flavors of marjoram, river stone minerality, ripe Bing cherry and organic earth crackle on a balanced sip with a touch more structure, bitterness and depth.  Indeed, a Rose that can hold up to both bigger dishes and even bigger Rose skeptics.

Goldschmidt Vineyards Singing Tree Chardonnay - $27

From Russian River, Sonoma, California.  A bright bounty of soft citrus, green apple, and tropical fruit are improved by a hint of oak so tastefully done as to make Cali Chard worthy of a second and third act, especially with a certain big-ass bird and creamy sides.

Vinum Cellars Petite Sirah - $18

Petite Sirah Grape from Clarksburg, California.  All your wildest smooth-heavy-fruity dreams come through in this wine with concentrated blackberry and boysenberry jam, chewy tannins, and smooth texture, with violet, vanilla bean, black tea, and subtle smokey complexity thrown in to please Cali-philes and phobes alike.

Tavernello Organic Rosso - $15

Sangiovese and Montepulciano from Tuscany, Italy.  Whether it’s turkey, steak, a big bowl of red gravy, or just need some Tuscan sunshine in your life, this is your bottle.  Freshly macerated cherry and raspberry fruit plays with wood spice and sweet oak in a glass with both pillow-soft pleasantness and persistent welcomed tannic body.
