    from the oak and bottle aging. Pairs beautifully with pastas and chicken.

RouteStock Chardonnay  (Carneros 2010)                     $7.50             $30

    The wine has an attractive pale straw color with some lime hues. The aromas 

    are filled with layers of white blossom, honeysuckle and subtle melon notes 

    along with a hint of marmalade spice. The flavors are of white peach and 

    Bartlett pear along with a subtle tropical note. The palate is full-flavored with a 

    bright citrus finish.

Ferrari Carano Fume Blanc  2011 (Sonoma California) $7.50 $30

    Citrus, mango, kiwi, and lime aromas are complemented by flavors of 

    vanilla, guava and grapefruit in this Sauvignon Blanc. Cool, stainless steel tank 

    fermentation gives this wine a crisp freshness while the subtle oak character 

    from barrel aging adds great complexity and depth. Received 91 points!
