Lo & Behold Wine Set

Looking for something new and different in white wines? Here is that something different....that something rare....that something to indulge in.....

From Matthiasson is a traditional Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon blend. Delightfully crisp, fresh, and clean, though rich and complex.

From Relic Wines comes a beautifully mastered Chardonnay from Russian River.

The Scholium Project offers a Sauvignon Blanc/Verdehlo blend that is crisp and delicious.

Forlorn Hope offers a mysterious field blend so to speak, the blend is inspired by Austrian Gemischter Satz. It is homage to the some of the old ways of growing. You never know for sure what is in the glass. But to tell you it is delicious to have would be an understatement.

Poe Wines offers a delectable delight of a Chardonnay,  aged in 40% new French oak coming off two Napa vineyards. This sintalating wine is beyond words.

The last but not least in this glorious set of whites comes from Kesner Wines. This Sauvignon Blanc is refreshingly crisp but delightfully complex in flavors.

Keep in mind a small number of these sets were produced (500 total). We have just a few of these left. Hurry in and see why we sought this match out.

Penya Rose

This beautiful rose from French Catalonia shows delicious Rainier cherries, garrigue, hints of red raspberry and melon.  This full-bodied yet bright wine makes for great springtime enjoyment at under $9.

Carneros Highway Pinot Noir

From producers Highway 12, this pinot exudes yumminess (yes)......delicious blackberry, wild berry, and sage brings this brilliant pinot into light with a soft, velvety feel. Coming in under $19, its a steal.

Tobias Chardonnay

Man o' man, this chardonnay has aromas of vanilla, tropical fruit, ripe melon and a hint of spice while having flavors of rich apples with firm acidity and the low percent of secondary (malolatic) fermentation that they use gives it nice warm buttery notes. Using 30% new French Oak during the first 6 months and 10% for the last 6, the presence is there but very well balanced into what this Chardonnay offers.

Tobias Cabernet

Here is yet another wine that I discovered once again by meandering through the wine department. Something that is definitely unassuming by its simple yet elegant labeling. I am almost ashamed that I hadn't noticed it before now. With its later than average ripening, two years in new French Oak and racking time; the process creates a wonderfully rich and complex juice that has a soft, balanced, and lingering finish. Tobias shows that his cabernet shows layers of complex fruit and hints of oak are far above the juice's understated $40 price tag. This one should definitely leave you and your guests wishing to have another bottle.
