Scharffenberger Cellars

Mendocino County Brut

Sparkling Wine

Seyval Blanc

This foamy, moderately rich sparkler is in all ways defined by time on the yeast, and fruit becomes but a distant player in its display of cream and toast. Despite the obvious autolysis found in its makeup, it is always quite clean, very well-focused and free of excess. It is very dry without being in the least way austere, and, if a fine choice for aperitif drinking, it can also work as a no-risk companion to a wide range of milder seafood recipes. GOOD VALUE

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blanc Vintage

The 1999 is an absolutely delicious Comtes de Champagne that needs to be opened at least an hour or two in advance to show at its finest. Smoke, citrus, mint and flowers are some of the nuances that emerge from this fresh, fragrant Champagne. Deceptively lithe on the palate, the wine blossoms with air as it fills out with endless layers of perfumed fruit. The wine can be enjoyed today, even if it comes across as a touch sweet. With time, that sweetness will develop into the liqueur-like perfume that makes older Comtes de Champagne so irresistibly alluring.

Louis Roederer

Brut Premier

Green-gold. Potent aromas of pear and apple liqueur plus an exotic note of fresh mushroom on the ripe, smoky nose. Deep, rich and concentrated, with a tangy note of white pepper adding interest and lift to the buttery orchard fruit flavors. The full, smoky finish shows a clinging, sappy quality and striking length.

$58.99

Roederer Estate

Anderson Valley

Brut Estate

Chardonnay

70% Chardonnay; 30% Pinot Noir. Our first pick of the bunch among current crop of non-vintage brut bottlings, this intense, genuinely complex effort sports a lovely mix of toasty yeast and lemony fruit from its expansive aromas to its very long and very rich flavors. It is impeccably balanced, quite creamy in feel and is enlivened by an endless stream of tiny, pinpoint bubbles. And if all this were not enough, it comes with the very real bonus of being widely available. GOOD VALUE

$25.99

Taittinger

Brut La Francaise

Chardonnay

Fruity aromas of apple, orange blossom, toast and nuts. Fat, ripe and suave; a medium-bodied, middle-of-the-road wine with a moderate dosage and a nice light touch. Finishes clean and persistent. An excellent non-vintage brut.

$51.99

Roederer Estate

Anderson Valley

Brut Rose

Chardonnay

60% Pinot Noir; 40% Chardonnay. From its comparatively light copper-salmon hue to its fairly forthright, cherry-like fruit, this creamy, nicely bubbled rendition steers more to a Blanc de Noirs style than to that of a Rose, and, while it conveys a fine sense of overall substance, it shows nary a trace of astringency. It picks up a slight edge of coarseness owing to its ample acidity, but it shows terrific palatal length and is bound to be smoothed by service with food.

$29.99

Domaine Carneros

Carneros

Le Reve Blanc de Blancs

Chardonnay

Carneros. Once again, Le Reve emerges at the top of the ratings, and it is the wine''s impeccable adherence to the crisp, buoyant Blanc de Blancs style that puts it there. Its aromas offer a lovely mix of sweet citrus and creamy yeast components that combine both depth and appealing lightness, and they are followed on the palate by a perfectly appointed mousse and a refined set of rich, airy, pristinely fruity, stony, minerally flavors. Balanced and complex, deep and light at the same time, this one is about as good as it gets in Blanc de Blancs.

Argyle

Willamette Valley

Brut

Like the first flower of spring, an orchard full of 'nashi no hana' springs out of the glass. Aromas of grapefruit citrus-blossom, and fresh baked vanilla-caramel ladyfingers ride the pinpoint bubbles up into your senses. Prospero in a glass. The flavor is a parquetry of Nashi pear, citrus blossom honey with an extra juicy, creme puff center. The finish is long lasting and fresh fruited, while retaining an amazing mineral structure throughout. This is one of the most exciting sparkling wines made in Argyle's 20 years!

Domaine Chandon

Etoile Brut Cuvee

Chardonnay

This very well-made wine seems to straddle the line between California fruitiness and the more complex yeast and mineral aspects of French Champagne. It leads with rich aromas of lemons, ginger, cream and lightly toasted nuts, and its briskly finished flavors confirm much of the same. Its mousse is light, yet fairly creamy, and only a bare bit of last-minute coarseness keeps it from higher award.

$29.99

Domaine Marc Kreydenweiss

Wiebelsberg

Brut

Bright yellow. Hints of nuts and resin on top of minerals, citrus peel, nuts and menthol on the nose. Juicy and racy but a bit youthfully disjointed, combining some rather developed notes with slightly tart, spiky acidity. This could use a bit more stuffing and clarity of flavor. Firm minerally finish suggests some tannins. Kreydenweiss finds this very closed now and believes it needs a good eight years of bottle aging.

Domaine Chandon

Napa-Sonoma County

Cuvee Brut

Merlot

A good example of a mature sparkler, that has nutty and caramel flavors. The doughy character, with its yeasty finish, is attractive, but don't hold on to this, drink it now. Tasted in magnum.

Other White Varietal

Ideal for making Bellini! Mix the Proscecco with a handfull of white peaches and a whisper of wild raspberries and the legendary cocktail of Harry''s Bar in Venice is at your table.

$19.99

Zardetto

Prosecco Zeta

Pinot Bianco

Bright straw yellow in color, with an elegant and distinctive perlage, Zeta offers a complex bouquet of orange blossom, lemongrass, peach and tropical fruits. Produced in limited quantity, this wine is extremely versatile. It can be served with traditional desserts, from pastries to fruit tarts, as an aperitif for your antipasto, or simply by itself after dinner. For any occasion, Zeta will bring your palate a taste of the Italian zest for life.

$26.99

Chandon

Rose Unoaked

Pinot Noir

A serious pink wine, the richly layered ''06 Domaine Chandon Unoaked Pinot Noir Rose rounds itself out on the palate with excellent mouthfeel and drive; very flavorful!

$19.85

Krug

Champagne

-NA-

A powerful, majestic Champagne. Deep and compelling, with aromas of whole-grain toast, coconut and dried citrus that draw you in. Lean and racy on the palate, with a creaminess that's yet to be integrated. A classic '96, with ripe, exotic aromas and a steely structure. Still a baby, with the long, resonant finish confirming its potential. Best from 2009 through 2040. 10,000 cases made.
