HUGUES BEAULIEU Picpoul De Pinet 2008
Languedoc, France
100% Picpoul, aka Folle Blanche. Pale yellow color with green tints. Lime flavors with typical focusing acidity are hallmarks of Picpoul. This attractive white wine has the seemingly contradictory characteristics of lightness and substance. This Picpoul is dry, medium-bodied and it's very much at home with seafood, chicken and even pizzas.

WAY KUHL Riesling 2008
Mosel, Germany
Kuhl is the German word meaning 'cool'. Riesling, when paired with spicy food, cools your palate. Just a drop of Riesling will kuhl you down on a hot summer day and kuhl the fire on your palate after a spicy meal. A very floral nose proceeds flavors of honey, pear, white peach and a hint of citrus. This refreshing treat is a perfect companion for any meal or snack.

LEAPING LIZARD Merlot 2006
Napa Valley, California
An entertaining name, easy-drinking wine style, and incomparable value provide a memorable wine experience. Leaping Lizard Merlot exhibits plum and cassis aromas that are layered with notes of dried sage and rosemary. There is spiciness on the nose that extends through the palate. Flavors of plum, red cherry and red berry fruit lead to a finish of fine grain tannins and slight toastiness.

SAGELANDS Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Columbia Valley, Washington
This elegant Cabernet Sauvignon reveals an attractive ruby color and intense nose of blackberry, blueberry, Bing cherry and toasty oak and vanilla notes hinting of wild violet. Enjoy this delightful wine paired with beef Teriyaki, grilled chicken breast with Jamaican jerk seasoning or pork tenderloin with orange-chipolte sauce.
