Rare Pinot Noir
from Bollinger

We are thrilled to have the Bollinger 1989 AY Rouge 'La Cote aux Enfants' Coteaux Champenois. This spectacular still Pinot Noir comes from the Bollinger vineyard in the heart of the AY Commune--one of the finest wine districts of Champagne. Produced only in exceptional years in extremely small quantities, it owes its natural and delicate flavor to the vineyard's 'terroir' (south-west facing slopes and chalky soils) as well as to meticulous winemaking practices.

Don't miss this opportunity for a wine similar to those made in Champagne at the time of Henri IV, which were highly acclaimed by the King and his court! Packed in a custom wooden box! ($59.99)

Silver Oak Tie
by Chris Lord

We are delighted to offer the latest spectacular wine tie from our friend Chris Lord, who is based in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Silver Oak Cellars tie features the original Silver Oak label as well as the new Silver Oak Napa Valley designation label displayed on a black background among a decorous arrangement of grapes, barrels, tanks, etc. It is one of the most attractive wine ties we have seen.

Only 300 of these ties were produced. Each comes in its own gift box and is an ideal gift for the wine lover. Hurry in or give us a call, as our supplies are limited.

List price is $60.00; however, through December 31, 1996, we are offering the Silver Oak Tie for just $39.99!

'Wine and Dine', the Ultimate
in Wine and Food Pairing


If you haven't picked up a copy of Wine and Dine, California Fine Wines Matched with Gourmet Recipes, now is your chance to get this excellent book on wine and food pairing by our very own Ron Breitstein and his partner Hendrik Van Leuven. Wine and Dine features 90 outstanding wines from 48 top-notch California wineries each matched with a recipe created by the winemakers, their chefs or top restaurateurs.

Some of the wine and food matches include: Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc matched with Steamed Mussels with Garlic and White Wine; Long Vineyards Chardonnay matched with Crayfish and Yellow Tomato Bisque; Schramsberg Cremant matched with Nectarine Tart; Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir, Sanford and Benedict matched with Roast Prime Rib with Au Gratin Potatoes; Duckhorn Merlot matched with Grilled Wild Duck with Ducky's Wild Duck Port Sauce; and Opus One matched with Grilled Lamb and Black Currants.

Most of the recipes came directly from the wineries. Top California restaurateurs, including Piero Selvaggio of Valentino/Primi/Posto, Joachim Splichal of Patina/Pinot, Robert Simon of Bistro 45, Michael McCarty of Michael's, Robert Bell of Chez Melange and Michael Chiarello of Tra Vigne, were kind enough to provide some of their culinary secrets and recipes.

The book is divided into chapters by varietals and each one is briefly discussed in oenological and historical terms for enhanced appreciation.

Wine and Dine is available for only $15.95 and, on purchases through the end of 1996, we are offering an additional 10% discount!

Duckhorn Headquarters

We are pleased to offer an extensive selection of wine from Duckhorn Vineyards, one of the top producers of Bordeaux varietals in California.

The Duckhorns have been producing wine since 1978 and their wines are always in great demand. They initially were known as the top Merlot producer in California, but earlier this year they were chosen by Wine Spectator as one of the top 20 Cabernet Sauvignon producers as well!

We have one of the most complete selections of Duckhorn wines anywhere in the United States. If you have yet to treat yourself to these wines of strength, elegance and class, now is the time to acquire some of the most delicious, drinkable and ageable wines you will ever find!
