THREE TO FINISH THE DAY

Our Vanguard rep Jeff came by last week with three very cool wines:

Zuani Bianco Colli 2008. Grade=Outstanding. This white blend from Italy is medium-bodied with bright stone fruit and citrus notes. It has a lot of depth with its minerality, freshness and well-balanced acidity.

Trinoro Le Cupole Rosso Toscana 2006. Grade=Amazing. Phenomenal Bordeaux-styled blend from Tuscany. Loads of dark fruit character, big, velvety tannins and seductive mouthfeel. A very sexy wine.

375 Wine Co. Rosé 2009 375 ml. Grade=Amazing. Marbue Marke (winemaker for Caldwell) and Drew Nieman (of Neiman Cellars) collaborated to bring us this remarkable rosé that possesses generous helpings of strawberry jam, cinnamon, rose petal, raspberry compote and red tea notes. It is one of the best rosés I have had in a long time. Impressive. Available only in half-bottles.
