wine with craig rohner

Dominique Cornin Les Serrudierres Macon Chanes 2006 very sweet for a macon chardonnay, and at $25 a little too pricey

Karl Molitor Hattenheimer Kabinett 2007 for a very hot vintage it is typical...pineapple sweetness, more of a spatlese but still good acidity.

St Innocent 2007 Village Cuvee Pinot Noir Willamette one of the host wineries for Pinot Camp, this blend wine comes to our market for the first time due to the hard sell the 07 vintage is seeing. very light in color, soft flavors of earth and mushrooma and raspberry. pretty quick finish.

2006 Melka CJ Cabernet Napa one of the best unknown wines I have in the store.. he is the wine maker for some of the big name cabs, this is his second label...beautiful nose of cedar and vanilla.. lots of black fruits long finish. Good at twice the price at $50 should age well for at least 10 years.
