Nigl Gruner Veltliner Austria 2012 pretty lemon and lime.... mineral on the palate.. acidity that you expect... a good gruner
Hippolyte Reverdy Sancere Loire Valley 2012 a little lighter even somewhat watered down from what I remember.. light grapefruit with a touch of herbal
Domaine Bart Fixin Burgundy 2010 light in color, and flavors.. kind of blah.. not a lot of terroir
Chateau Capt de Faugeres Castillion Cotes de Bordeaux 2009 michel roland... lots of berry.. merlot juicy but worth the money? good question
Domaine Faury Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah Northern Rhone 2012.. a bit of iron or iodine.. raspberry and some meatiness on the finish but you really have to look for it

cynthia bommarito/ bernie lee glazers
Cynthia.
Domaine Sylvain Langoureau Bourgogne Aligote 2012 a very lemon aid nose, a bit fruity.. aligote is a white wine that is allowed in burgundy but not usually represented on its own
Zuani Collio 2011 a blend of white grapes from the northeast area of Italy.. tart.. pink grapefruit. lush mouthfeel. thought it would have a longer finish but very pleasant
Chateau Marjosse Bordeaux blanc 2012 Sauv Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle.. sweet lemon lime nose, some herbacious character.. nice acidity.. may be harder to pair with food as opposed to being by itself
Fantini Sagiovese igt abruzzo 2012.. fruit nose, touch of dirt on the palate but not aggresive.. lush almost sweet jammy finish..
Sottimano Bric del salto Dolcetto d'alba 2012.. what was my first favorite grape dolcetto has become not so much... very bubble gum and beaujolais style nose, young vines green.. not my cup of tea
Domaine les Clos de Caveau Vacqueyras 2010 dark fruit.. lots of dark black cherry.. good acidity. long mid palate.. was waiting for a little restraint but that didnt come through
bernie
Paul Mas Estate Chardonnay 2012 a lot of rough edges on the palate.. pretty nose though
Dry Creek Fume Blanc 2012 grassy.. lots of acidity.. typical california sb
Paul Mas Pinot noir 2012 dark color.. and dark fruit.. again with the rough chunky edges.
Dry Creek Cabernet Dry Creek 2010 lots of tannins.. and dark cassis berry again with the fruit tannins.. could use a little time to settle

bommarito with cynthia
Talley Vineyards Chardonnay Arroyo Grande Valley 2012... dept of redundancy dept.. arroyo is a valley... valley large valley... my rant.. soft oak influence but defintitely there... nice acidity... not over the top tropical fruit.
MacPhail Family Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2012.. from the Hess family.. to take the place of Sequana.. fruity cranberry on the nose that carries through to finish.. not giving me a lot of earth or mushroom.. very user friendly
A Rafanelli Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley Sonoma County 2011... a little frustrating because this is a restaurant only wine but.... very juicy and berry full.. full bodied on the palate that thins out a little on the finish.
Krupp Brothers The Doctor Napa Valley 2011.. yummy good berry fruit lots of flavors.. a little too obvious on the oak.. may just be the youth.. vanilla cherry...
