2010 Tetramythos Roditis | Patras | Greece
I love being an iconoclast, and the wine business is the perfect venue forempoweringour clients insteppingoutside the Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio realm. This is the perfect gift for those who have visited Greece or wish to do so. Enter Roditis, an almost lost, indigenous varietyon the slopes of Mount Helmos. All we need now is some sun, a plate of Calamari, some good friends and plate of olives and feta cheese. If this cant start a conversation at a party then you need to find new friends.
Musella Valpolicella Ripasso 2008 | $29.99 | +806224
This Ripasso is a delicious and savoury wine to match with winter fare or keep you warm on chilly nights this holiday season. It is also a unique gift that your host/hostess might not buy for themselves and, while it can be opened and enjoyed immediately, it can also be held in the cellar for 1-1/2 years.
Graceland 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon | $34.99
With its dark, cherry red tones, its no surprise when the aroma of red fruits with a hint of licorice hits the nose. This is a very elegant South African wine with black cherry, plum and layers of chocolate. Its got subtle French oak nuances with fine tannins. If your host says youre having a beef, lamb or game dinner, this is the wine to bring. Or your host can keep it in their wine cellar until 2018.
