Piper-Heidsieck Brut Champagne
The Heidsieck Champagne estate was founded in 1785. Christian Heidsieck inherited the estate in 1828 and entered into a partnership with his cousin, Henri Piper. The Piper-Heidsieck brand emerged and has since become one of the most prestigious vintners in the Champagne region in northern France. The elegance of this wine is structured upon Blanc de Noir wines made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier blended with Chardonnay and bottle fermented, creating delicious, toasty apple-pear-citrus flavors. Rated 91 by Wine Spectator magazine.

Wegeler-Erben Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Spatlese
Overlooking the sleepy village of Bernkastel, clinging to the breathtaking cliffside scenery along the Mosel River, is the legendary Doctorberg vineyard. Wine from this vineyard was thought to have saved the life of a Bishop, who was on his deathbed, in 1360. With several centuries as producers of fine German wines, the Wegeler-Erben family exemplifies the best of vintners from this noble medieval site. This wine, finished in a dry style called trocken has a delicate apple-citrus bouquet and an enticing apricot-peach character.

Clos Du Val Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Bernard Portet founded Clos Du Val in 1972, bringing to California generations of fine winemaking expertise from his native France. Plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, the most classic vine of Bordeaux, have matured in the ideal terrain of the Napa Valley to produce sumptuous, dry red wine layered with bramble, cedar, ripe plum and vanilla-oak flavors, declared one of the 2002 "Red Wines of the Year'' by Decanter magazine.
Chamarre Grande Reserve Pinot Noir
Chamarre is a new winery in France with a mission to produce high quality French wine without the intimidation sometimes seen with the classic wines. The wines are made to be delicious, friendly and drinkable while exhibiting classic character of the grape varietal. This Pinot Noir is full-bodied, soft textured and balanced with inviting aromas and flavors of raspberry, strawberry and black currants. All this is wrapped in a subtle robe of vanilla from the oak barrels. Enjoy this with all meats, fowl and cheeses.
SHERRY
Emilio Lustau Sherry
Eleventh century B.C. Phoenician traders founded a frontier settlement called Shera on the Mediterranean coast across from Gibraltar. Following Roman and Moorish occupation it became the Spanish Jerez de la Frontera, now more readily known as the Sherry region. Lustau medium Sherry is a hearty apertif wine, amber in color, specially fermented and continually blended vintage after vintage through decades of aging to achieve tasty nutty-caramel flavors. The prominent wine media recognize Emilio Lustau as one of the premier quality Sherry vintners.

Graham's Vintage Port
Founded in 1820, W. & J. Graham & Co.
maintains its place as one of the most prestigious names in fine port wines, many experts agree that Graham is the single finest port wine vintner. Young Vintage Ports are - fortified with brandy and vinified naturally, without benefit of clarification or filtration, generally taking at least a decade to mature, during which a sediment precipitates in each bottle.
Careful decanting results in a brilliantly clear and sweet ruby-red dessert wine of unequaled charm. Graham's Vintage Port fulfills its rich heritage with bold brambleberry and plum flavors slowly mellowed to a satin texture.
