Chambers Rosewood NV Muscat
Australia
A dozen roses fall short of the near perfect Chambers Rosewood NV Muscat
A taste of love to the highest emotions that are shared with yourself
Gasping for air you reach for a small piece of fruit
Tartness of a fruit will complete your secret obsession with this desert wine
Awakening your palate to a taste that will not be forgotten

Casanova di Neri 2001 Pietradonice
Italy
Casanova with its charm makes mouths quiver
A rush of flavors explode upon ones taste buds
Teasing the mind to find words to explain
Hints of blackberry, raspberry and cherry are noticed shorty after the rush
Daydreaming of one of kind vineyards in Italy is not uncommon with each sip
Let this taste stand out even in the darkest days and you will remember this like a loved one

Mumm — Grand Cru
Rating: 14.5/20
Price: $60
New to the American market, this multi-vintage cuvée comes from five distinct grand cru villages in Champagne: Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Bouzy and Aÿ, and Chardonnay from Avize and Cramant, each of which adds its own personality and character to the wine. Each year, about 15 to 20 wines go into the complex cuvée, and up to 27 percent of reserve wines are added to make the final blend. Mumm Grand Cru is a lively Champagne, with a clear yellow color and rich bubbles. Aromas of fresh citrus and honey fill the nose first, followed by the floral scents of hawthorn and acacia. The flavors continue in the palate, where the rich, mouth-filling mousse leads to a long finish. It sits well as an aperitif or paired with white meats and seafood.

Mano 2003 Puglia Primitivo
Mano 2003 Puglia Primitivo a great wine from Italy that will give you so much for the price. A fruity taste with some tannins and slight hints of flowers makes this $7 wine a steal. Pair this wine with pasta and red sauce and as always this would make a great pairing with red meat.
