Its always nice to see a winery owner in the store.

Honig Napa Valley Sauv blanc 2012  a riper more tropical style.. just a touch grassy but calmer than new zealand style.

Honig Rutherford Sauv Blanc 2012.. new label. a little more creamy style.. lots of mid palate new label

Honig Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011  mostly cab with a little petit verdot.. cedar on the nose, soft and supple tannins. a little coffee and tobacco on the finish,

Honig Bartolucci Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 from a vineyard located on the base of spring mountain,.. dark roasted coffee.. deep color and tannins.. long finish.. a strong example of california cab

earlier in the week with cynthia

Rex Hill Pinot Noir Willamette 2011... light color, a little dusty on the palate.. a nice inexpensive oregon pinot

Neal Zinfandel Rutherford Dust VIneyards napa 2011 you dont see a lot of Napa Zins and maybe the price per bottle versus the price per acre may explain.. dark raspberry flavors long finish with bright fruit tannin

Elyse C'est si bon Red Wine.. a blend of rhone style grapes.. usually a fan but from the rhone.. lots of upfront fruit but quick unexciting finish

Paoletti Non Plus Ultra Red Wine 2009 cedar nose, intense upfront fruit..a creamy finish but a great 20 for $40
