Val Sanzo "T Sanzo" Tempranillo - Awarded 90 points from The Wine Advocate's Robert Parker, this cherry red Spanish varietal exhibits "an expressive perfume of wood smoke, pencil lead, violets, cinnamon, incense, and blackberry… leading to a mouth-filling, generous, richly-fruited wine with lots of spice, balance, and fruit-filled finish." -RP (Food pairings: hamburgers, blackened filets, lamb chops, herb-crusted tenderloin)

Robert Biale "Founding Farmers" Zinfandel - A seductive Zin indeed, with proud aromas of red fruits, licorice, and spice that unfold into layers of soft cherry, herb, and anise flavors. (Food pairings: barbecue, Italian sausage, and lasagna)
Reymos Muscat de Alexandria - Pale hints of green with bright, clean bubbles that lift enticing aromas of apricot and white raisin; this Muscat is persistent and sweet, with a light finish. (Food pairings: scallops, desserts that involve fresh or fired fruits, and pecan pie)
