Sauvignon Republic Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2006
The Russian River bottling has shown itself to be more discreet than the newest releases from ‘07 down under that are now on the market. Make sure to blow off the stinkiness in the decanter or the glass and the Sauvignon aromas will ccome through just fine. Cellared & Bottled in Graton. 13.8% $12.99 at Bottle Barn Sauvignon Republic

Navarro Anderson Valley Estate Bottled Dry Gewurztraminer 2006

Another long-time favorite from Navarro that captures the smell of Gewurz without the sweetness. There’s the natural bitterness that you’d expect and flowers galore. P&B in Philo 13.5% $19 at the winery Navarro

Quivira Dry Creek Valley Wine Creek Ranch Grenache Rose 2007

Fresh from the recent vintage with dry pink wine from the Salmon loyalists. Unfortunately the alcohol is jutting out in this wine. Mourvedre is part of the equation as well, all raised biodynamically. Estate grown, produced and bottled in Healdsburg 13.8% $14.49 at Bottle Barn Quivira
