La Colombera Bricco Bartolomeo Cortese *November Staff 6

                                    100% Cortese grape from Piedmont, Italy.  This is a zippy and refreshing white with kiwi, dried apricot and yellow rose on the nose.  The acidity is what shines in this wine, with a laser beam of lemon and honeysuckle flavors flying around it.  This is a wonderful palate cleanser and thirst quencher from a grape and place you may not expect, but elating to have tried.

This playful little Pinot from Central Valley Chile, punches miles above its weight.  Savory umami flavors line a soft cascade of cherry and cranberry.  Acidity on the palate creates levity without drying tartness, keeping this PN silky and easy.  The requisite non-existent tannin and approachability makes this quite the sleeper in your Pinot repertoire.

Stift Kloster Neuburg Gruner Veltliner Sekt Brut

Banyan Monterey Gewurztraminer

A subtle and sexy take on dry Gewurz from Monterey, California.  Kumquat, orange and pear blossom, and the iconic lychee sneak out of the glass on the nose, and ride a wave of mouth-watering acidity and linear minerality, all without being too in-your-face the way many Gewurztraminer can be.   Any salad or lightly seasoned dish that needs an aromatic touch would have a perfect first date with this wine.

Trouillet Lebeau Macon Solutré Pouilly

This is a true love letter to people who 'don't do Chardonnay'. The aromas of fresh and candied citrus combine with a lively and playful fountain of acidity on the palate, along with a symbiosis between subtle minerality and lemon curd on the finish. This is White Burgundy you rarely see outside of the financial stratosphere. Deliciously paired with roasted poultry and winter vegetables, but even more delicious to give to a Chardonnay skeptic.
$27

Red Tail Ridge Good Karma Riesling

This winery from the Finger Lakes gives portions of profit to a local food bank in your area, and the wine itself is just as generous.  Key lime, peaches, and honeysuckle on the nose invite you through the door, with melon and tangerine on the palate set highly ablaze by strong acidity and the tiniest brush stroke of sweetness.  And yes, a true game-changer with a Big-Ass-Bird.
$18

Caparzo Sangiovese Toscana

100% Sangiovese from Tuscany.  Bright red/black cherry and soft herbal licorice flavors follow you from start to finish, with subtle spice and blackberry skipping on the palate.  Super easy, low tannin, and medium body, welcome to your new all-access pass for anything with Italian tomato sauce.  And I do mean ANY dish with tomato sauce.
$14

Field Recordings Regenerator Zinfandel

This is a classic expression of OG Zinfandel.  Big, fruity, and spicy, while still showing some subtlety and poised restraint.  Bright red berry and red plum comes out of every opening in this wine, with less boisterous suggestions of anise and pepper spice, with an acidic backbone that takes this profile of zin to the top floor.  This would play nice with all the red meat at your dinner table and is a crowd-pleaser to say the least.
$20

Terres Dorees L'Ancien Beaujolais

100% Gamay from Charnay, Beaujolais, France, this red is the unofficial mascot of the month of November.  Bright, child-like strawberry and blueberry carry a beautiful dry profile of medium structure and body, low tannin.  The duality between prominent stony minerality and the softness of this wine makes it classically Beaujolais.  Should be had not only with all things Thanksgiving, but all things period.
$22

100% Garnacha from Navarra, Spain.  Clean, high-intensity aromas of red fruit such as raspberry, strawberry, red cherry, also black pepper and earthy notes.  Precise, elegant, and nuanced, this juicy Spanish red shows a youthful and pure expression of this grape.  Definitely can be indulged on its own, but sausage stuffing would bring you much happiness, too.
$14

Domaine de Cristia Cotes du Rhone

A ripe and opulent Rhone made from 100% Grenache.   A sweeping tide of raspberry, black cherry, soft spice and sunbaked warm earth will wash over you and take you away to sunny Southern France.  Rich and concentrated without abrasive or bitter tannin monopolizing the profile.  A delightful Autumnal Rhone that drinks well out of its league.
$24
