MacPhail Pinot Noir Pratt Vineyard 2005 750ml $59.99 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir "One of my top picks from the 2007 Pinot on the River Festival. Rich, black silky fruit flavors on the front and mid-palate, finishing with earthy forest floor and mushroom flavors. Only 20 barrels produced with pinot noir clones of 23, 114, 777, pommard and 2A. This versatile pinot noir pairs with so many dishes from light gamey lamb, duck to dishes with wild mushrooms. No decanting necessary. Cellar through 2013." - John Haggard, Sophie's Cellar

Marimar Chardonnay 2004 750ml $46.99 Don Miguel Vineyard Dobles Lias Russian River Valley Chardonnay Estate Grown, Estate Bottled Organically grown grapes

Marimar Pinot Noir Stony Block 2004 750ml $44.99 Don Miguel Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Organically grown grapes The Stony Block was planted with the Dijon 115 clone in 1997, and is organically grown. "This first release of Stony Block shows deep aromas of raspberry and forest floor, with the elegant oak providing a harmonious framework. The spicy elements, reminiscent of clove, are characteristic of this block. The firm tannins, finesse and complexity suggest the trademark of a grand cru from Burgundy. The wine opens up to reveal a structure that promises a long life in the bottle. It is the perfect wine to accompany a dish of grilled lamb." Winery notes "Decant for an hour, although we found this wine became exceptional after nearly six hours of decanting." - John Haggard, Sophie's Cellars

Martin & Weyrich Allegro Moscato 2004 375ml $6.99 California Dessert Wine "This zesty wine made in the fun tradition of Moscato di Asti from the Piedmonte Region is vibrant and delicious. Partially fermented to retain a tantilizing drinkability, it is intended as a festive apertivo or after dinner quaffer.

Martin Alicante Bouschet 2005 750ml $24.99 Russian River Valley Alicante Bouschet "This tiny production of Alicante Bouschet is a mouthful of leather, cocoa and must be decanted for forty minutes of more. Hints of cinnamon, star anise and dust abound in this tannic wine. Pair with a hearty lasagna. Cellar now through 2012." - John Haggard, Sophie's Cellars

Mas Cristine Dessert Wine 2000 500ml $21.99 French Dessert Wine Rivesaltes is one of the largest appellations in the Roussillon, the southern-most wine-growing district in France, famous for its sweet wines.

Mayo Pinot Noir LaCruz Vineyard 2005 750ml $36.99 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir Mayo Family Winery "The Mayo Sonoma Coast pinot noir is filled with flavors of ripened red berry, red cherry, raspberry, strawberry and spice.

Merryvale Starmont Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 750ml $24.99 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 Starmont Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 91 pts Wine Enthusiast "The Starmont designation is sort of a junior version of Merryvale's more expensive wines and is often a solid value. So it is with this Cab, whose grapes come from some prestigious vineyards. It's dry, rich and complex, with a classic Napa balance of firm, sweet tannins, acidity and cassis and cherry fruit. Beautiful now, and should hold well for six years." EDITORS CHOICE. -Steve Heimoff "No decanting necessary. A great pairing for barbequed ribs." - John Haggard, Sophie's Cellars

Ooh Sparkling Syrah 2004 750ml $32.99 Brickhill Vineyard Produced and bottle by Ahh Winery "The 2004 vintage of the Ooh sparkling brut syrah is much bigger vintage than the 2003. Heavier tannins with black fruit create a food wine best paired with stilton, roquefort and other blue cheeses with a lower salt content. Very limited production. Try pairing with this recipe: your favorite blue cheese over halved figs wrapped in prosciuto, seared face side down until prosciuto is carmelized. Also works paired with japanese persimmon, similarly prepared." - John Haggard, Sophie's Cellars
