Georges Dubeouf Beaujolais Nouveau
It's Here! Released every third Thursday in November, this wine marks the very first wine to be released in 2012. Yields were exceptionally low this year, but this wine is softer and fruitier than recent vintages with notes of cherry and strawberry. It's only here for a limited time!!! Get it while you can!! A perfect wine for Thanksgiving and the winter holidays to come!
Bottle Club Price: $7.33

Joel Gott Zinfandel
This Zin has always been one of my favorites and each new vintage does not disappoint. The 2010 has subtle aromas of black cherry and licorice. It is full and juicy with ripe boysenberry, black cherry and mocha. This has a superb, long and luscious finish. Perfect for the turkey dinner and all the trimmings.
Regular Price: $13.99

Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir
Meiomi is a high style Pinot Noir that is shaped, more than anything else, by the fruit sources that lay the foundation of the blend. A pure bred enjoyment wine, built to accommodate any pairing from food to friends. Unifying California’s most noteworthy coastal areas opens the door for a dynamic and opulent wine that is ready to enjoy whenever you are.
Bottle Club Price: $19.99

Francis Coppola Director's Cut Chardonnay
Buttery aromas with white peach and floral notes lead to a medium-weight buttery flavor with nice citrusy and hazelnut flavors. Superb with lobster, crap shrimp and clams. Try this with your next clam bake or family gathering.
Bottle Club Price: $11.98

Cht Petit Guiraud Sauternes (for dessert)
This has honeyed and dried fruit aromas and great flavors of dried apricot, honey, cinnamon, tangerine and orange blossom on the finish. What a great find to enjoy Sauternes at an affordable price!
Regular Price: $14.99
