Mumm Cuvée M, California
Cuvée M is layered and interesting offering notes of strawberries, ginger, and lime leaves. The finish is rich and a touch creamy. The producer selects from dozens of vineyards for the perfect grapes to make this fine sparkling wine.

Babcock 2005 Pinot Noir, Tri-County, California
This wine is consistently a winner. This pinot noir is made from grapes from Santa Barbara, Monterey, and Sonoma counties. It is smoky, with deep notes of cherry and mint. It offers dense flavors from the nose to the graceful vanilla finish. A great wine to pair with just about any type of food. Exceptional for the money.

      Cline 2004 Ancient Vines Carignane, Contra Costa County
Wow! The color stole my attention as it tumbled into my glass. Deep, inky, and purple, this is a good sign the juice is going to be big. The grapes come from old vines and the wine is very intense. Blueberries, licorice, strawberries, and smoky nuances of campfire toasted s'mores fill your mouth. There is a sultry touch of tannins that tells me this beauty will age well in your cellar. There is a nice touch of oak that whispers on the finish with a demure presence. (2)

Cline White Truck, Sonoma, California
A blend of sauvignon blanc 55%, pinot grigio 25%, viognier 10% and chardonnay 10%. This soft canvas of tangerine has hints of spring flowers and a snappy lime zest finish. Wonderfully polished, it is a great bottle of wine for many lighter dishes. Try it with a cream sauce or grilled salmon. -BF -$11

Cline 2005 Viognier, California
Viognier in general has a great nose and this particular wine is a great example of how aromatic viognier can be. Amomatic notes of summer flowers and tangerine zest lead to focused peach, apricot, and grated lime zest on the palate. There's a nice mouthwatering effect on the finish that tells me this wine will hold up well to food. Lovely! -BF $13
