SOME INTERESTING WHITES
FORMAN CHARDONNAY 2012 ~ NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA 120
Richard Forman has been making wine in Napa since the 1960’s, and his homevineyards were planted in the late 1970’s. Considered an expert in non-maloacticChardonnay, having worked with legends in Napa and France, his Chardonnays useonly about 10% new oak, allowing them to stay fresh and crisp. His philosophy forwinemaking, in addition to being very hands on, is “traditional... as opposed totechnological.”
1379
WIENINGER GEMISCHTER SATZ 'BISAMBERG' 2012 ~ VIENNA, AUSTRIA 65
Once the wine that was on everyone table in every heurigen (wine bar) in Vienna,Gemischter Satz, or field blend, had largely gone out of style. Fritz Wieninger, thefourth generation winemaker, wanted to bring it back and show why it was once themost popular style of wine in Austria. It is a true "field blend," meaning all thedifferent varieties are grown in the same field, harvested together, and fermentedsimultaneously. Composed of Weissburgunder, Grauburgunder and Morrillon (don’tworry, these are actually grape you probably know: Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris andChardonnay). It is a dry wine with a round texture, one might find stone fruit on thepalate.
1181
IDLEWILD CORTESE 'FOX HILL' 2012 ~ MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA 80
Made up of 100% Cortese grape from the coastal region of Medoccino, the varietalwas originally from the coastal town of Gavi in northern Italy. The vineyard wasplanted by Lwell Stone after his many trips to Italy and a love affair with itshundreds of different indigenous grape varieties, and Cortese is a classic,mentioned as early 1659. Idlewild is Sam and Jessica Bilbro, a husband and wifeteam that are part of California’s new vanguard of winemakers (although Sam'sfather founded the classic Marietta Cellars) eschewing the eight most populargrapes planted in California, which make up 93% of production. This is a dry wine,medium in body, with a hint of coastal salinity and notes of white flowers andcitrus.

GRAMERCY CELLARS VIOGNIER 'ANTOINE CREEK' 2013 ~LAKE CHELAN, WASHINGTON
70
Gramercy Cellars was founded by Greg and Pam Harrington in 2004. As a formerBeverage Director for some of the most respected restaurants in the county, Gregwas one of the youngest people ever to become a Master Sommelier, at 26. It wasalways a dream of he and his wife Pam to retire and own a winery, and that dreamcame true much earlier than they expected. Since 2005, they have been makingsmall amounts of balanced wine in Walla Walla, Washington. This Viognier isclassic Gramercy: it has a round mouth feel and notes of tropical fruit, but havingboth structure and acid to back it up.

SOME INTERESTING REDS
BEDROCK WINE CO 'OLD VINES' ZINFANDEL 2013 ~ SONOMA VALLEY,CALIFORNIA
75
Morgan Twain-Peterson, owner and winemaker of Bedrock Wine Co., has beenmaking wine since he was a toddler. Under the watchful eye of his father, JoelPeterson, owner and winemaker of Ravenswood, Morgan began making his ownwine in 1986, at age 5. If Paul Draper of Ridge Vineyards opened peoples eyes tothe beauty of Zinfandel, Joel was the one who took it mainstream, Bob Dylan toDraper's Woody Guthrie. Morgan uses the oldest vines he can find, some almost100 years old, and ascribes to the philosophy that Zin should be used as theleading man with varieties like Carignan, Mourvedre, and Grenache in supportingroles. This Zinfandel is lush and ripe with just enough acid to balance the fruit.
