January:South
African Shiraz $124.95
(Originally offered in January 2006)
The Region: Stellenbosch is South Africa’s oldest growing region,
the centre for study of viticulture and oenology in Africa, and the heart
of the wine industry. South Africa’s finest red wines thrive in the
Cape’s moderate climate, and the Shiraz from this region is dense with
jammy richness, intense fruit, and complex spiciness.
The Wine: This wine has a dense, chewy blackberry, earthiness
and robust character. This medium/full bodied wine almost begs for
early drinking, with spice and rich fruit, but the bold tannins and rich
jamminess (typical of Shiraz) will allow it to improve with age for a further
2 years.
The Food: barbecue, grilled red meat and stews. Sweetness

January:
California
Lake County Trio Blanca $119.95
(Originally offered in January 2005)
The Region: In California’s Lake County, the vineyards nestle
in steep hills in the west, while Clear Lake, directly east, moderates
the blistering heat of summer, ensuring slow, even ripening and perfect
grapes.
The Wine: A unique blend of three grapes, Trio Blanca is an
outstanding white wine that showcases bright fruit flavours, excellent
structure, and a long finish. Pinot Blanc contributes the delicate
floral character and full body while Chenin Blanc gives a wonderful melony-honeyed
aroma with hints of apple. Sauvignon Blanc contributes zesty acidity
and aromas of gooseberry and herbs. After six months ageing, the Sauvignon
Blanc will dominate with zest and crispness.
The Food: seafood, chicken or vegetarian dishes. Sweetness

February:Australian
Petit Verdot $124.95
(Originally offered in April 2004)
The Region: South East Australia is a literal hotbed of grape
growing. Abundant sunshine and heat allow growers to ripen varieties
that have all but been abandoned by growing regions less blessed.
The Wine: Best described as a ‘Super Cabernet’, it makes dark,
rich wines, with wonderfully concentrated flavours of spice, blackberry
and blackcurrant. With smooth, gripping tannins and an elegant structure
leading to a magnificent boldly oaked finish, this is a wine for long term
ageing and special occasions.
The Food: steak, prime rib, lamb, intense cheeses, and game.
Sweetness Code: 0
March:Pacific
Quartet $119.95
(Originally offered in March 2007)
The Region: The Pacific Coast of North America has micro-climates
that match those of the blazing sunshine of the Mediterranean to the crisp
mountain air of the upper Rhine.
The Wine: This wine showcases bright fruit, excellent structure
and a long finish. Vidal fgives spiciness and stone fruit.
Chenin Blanc gives a wonderful melony-honey aroma with hints of apple.
Gewürztraminer contributes lychee, rose petals and floral notes, and
Muscat gives wonderful grapey notes with dried fruit and hints of orange
peel.
The Food: Thai cuisine, grilled fish, herbed roast chicken or
barbecued salmon.
Sweetness Code: 1 (off dry)
April:Italian
Brunello $124.95
(Originally offered in April 2007)
The Region: Italy’s long, narrow peninsula reaches deep into
the Mediterranean,
basking in the relentless sunshine and welcoming warmth. Gentle sloping
hillsides, rich mineral soils, the moderating breezes off of the Mediterranean.
The Wine: Brunello is a large-berried variety of the Sangiovese
grape, famous in Brunello di Montalcino. The flavour profile of Sangiovese
is fruity, with strong natural acidity, a firm and elegant assertiveness
and a robust finish that can extend surprisingly long. Medium-bodied
but boldly tannic and intense, this gripping wine will begin to open up
after six months, but the richer flavours will take at least 18 months
to show, with cherry and spice dominating the long, fruity finish.
The Food: Asiago and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses, Italian sausages
