DONATED BEER, WINE OR LIQUOR IS NOT PERMITTED = Vegetarian Selection -17– Updated on 3/31/09 Other Wine Selections TIER ONE - LA TERRE Overview La Terre, which means “the earth” in French, is our tribute to the soil that nourishes the vine. La Terre wines are marketed to the on-premise segment only and are a very profitable alternative to mass-marketed, mainstream brands. Wine Style, at La Terre, the emphasis on grape quality is foremost in creating the wines. Our wine making philosophy is simple: To ensure that every bottle of La Terre consistently expresses the varietal character of the grape with underlying complexity and richness. Merlot The Merlot is medium to dark red in color with aromas of cherries and blueberries with a slight herbal undertone. The wine is medium-bodied with strong fruit flavors and a soft finish. $27 per bottle Cabernet Sauvignon The Cabernet Sauvignon is deep red in color. The nose has black fruit characters full of blackberry and plum with hints of oak, spices and vanilla with medium-bodied with berry, olive and vanilla flavors. Well balanced and softly tannic. $27 per bottle Chardonnay The 2007 Chardonnay is straw to light yellow in color. Fresh apples and pears with a touch of apricot mixed in the aroma. The wine has a lively fruit taste, rich acidity, with a hint of oak on the finish. $27 per bottle White Zinfandel The 2007 White Zinfandel is well- balanced and slightly sweet, with aromas of fruity raspberries and floral notes. $27 per bottle = Vegetarian Selection -18– Updated on 3/31/09 TIER TWO – RAVENSWOOD Overview In 1976, Joel Peterson founded Ravenswood in partnership with a fellow wine lover and over the next halfdozen years, their fledgling operation moved from one winery to another. Ravenswood finally turned a corner after a dozen years and purchased a winery on the northern edge of Sonoma Valley, where the Ravenswood Visitor Center and Tasting Room are still located today. Since its beginning, Ravenswood has been recognized the world over for its amazing Zinfandels. Thirty years later, Ravenswood is known for all of its exceptional varietals, from the everyday Vintners Blend, to the county-specific wines in the County Series, to the top-of-the-line Single Vineyard Designates. Crafted in the traditional Old World style, Ravenswood continues to set a standard for uncompromising wines that are true to the places where the grapes are grown—nothing less, nothing more. Wine Style Ravenswood wines are well suited to aging, although most are drunk young and greedily by people who love big, gutsy, unapologetic wines. Our Vintners Blend wines showcase California’s finest varietals, crafted in a delightfully approachable style. Our wines showcase the finest winegrowing regions of California, with an emphasis on our Sonoma County heritage. Our limited production of top-tier wines, the Single Vineyard Designates, are made exclusively from individual vineyards with highly distinctive, stand-alone characteristics. Vintners Blend Cabernet Sauvignon Cassis, oak spice, and black currant aromas, balanced and flavorful with an elegant finish, Are best served with lamb burgers or spiced chicken skewers. $29 per bottle Vintners Blend Chardonnay Fresh citrus and tropical fruit aromas, Buttery vanilla and toasted almond, are best served with chicken Caesar or shrimp scampi. $29 per bottle Vintners Blend Merlot Spice, toasted oak, black cherry and plum aromas while being rich balanced fruit, are best served with mushroom risotto or roast beef. $29 per bottle Vintners Blend Zinfandel “No wimpy wines!” Has been the rally cry from Ravenswood for decades, and the 2008 Vintners Blend Zinfandel fully embodies this uniquely Ravenswood mandate. It’s a robust yet accessible wine with aromas of red raspberry and toasty oak that give way to seriously mouth-watering flavors of cherry and boysenberry. Notes of warm spice and layers of fruit are perfectly balanced with good acidity and soft, supple tannins. $29 per bottle = Vegetarian Selection -19– Updated on 3/31/09 Tier ThreeDreaming Tree Wines When Steve Reeder and Dave Matthews first met, they realized they had a few things in common, like a passion for making wine at least as strong as their passion for drinking it. For The Dreaming Tree wines, they set out to create an approachable Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Red Blend, finding inspiration in the down-to-earth characters and unforgettable flavors that give California’s wine country its rare charm. Dreaming Tree Chardonnay Winemaking: Grapes were harvested at night and in the early morning to keep the fruit cool. The wine was aged for nine months in a combination of oak barrels and stainless steel. Tasting Notes: The fruit jumps out of the glass and reminds you of roasted pear or baked apple pie including big fruit and brown spices that are backed by a distinct Central Coast citrus note. The entry coats your mouth with these great flavors. Easy to enjoy, this wine will bring the coastal wine adventure right to your home. Food Pairing: Delicious on a warm summer night with grilled seafood, seafood-and-chicken paella, fresh fava bean salad, or buttered radishes and smoked salt. $32 per bottle Dreaming Tree Cabernet Sauvignon The 2010 North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon continues the legacy of The Dreaming Tree’s inaugural 2009 vintage, with elegant and supple fruit flavors. Each of the North Coast’s renowned winegrowing regions brings unique fruit character and structure—including herbs and blackberry flavors from Sonoma County, cherries and spicy notes from Mendocino County, and earth tones and mouth filling tannins from Lake County. $32 per bottle Dreaming Tree Crush Red Wine The Dreaming Tree Crush is a dark red wine blended from some of the North Coast’s best varieties. These richly textured, fruit-driven wines are all fermented and aged separately before being individually assessed and integrated. A blend of the North Coast’s nest varieties, this wine pulls you in with an oral berry note and then jumps up with a raspberry jam. $32 per bottle = Vegetarian Selection -20– Updated on 3/31/09 TIER FOUR Simi Russian River Chardonnay Simi was founded in 1876 by Giuseppe and Pietro Simi. The winery’s beautiful stone cellars and grounds in Healdsburg are a Sonoma County icon. Our Chardonnay is brilliant golden-straw in color with intriguing notes of spiced apple and rum raisin on the nose. This wine has pleasant weight on the palate and delivers an intricate balance of tropical fruit flavors and distinctive mineral notes, reflecting the diverse selection of fruit within the Russian River Valley. The rich acidity of this Chardonnay lends itself to pairings with Mushroom Risotto, Crab Cakes, Roast Chicken, and Bouillabaisse. $42 per bottle Simi Landslide Cabernet Deep, dark and nearly opaque with a ruby edge, the 2007 Landslide offers up evocative aromas of chocolate laced with cinnamon, blackberry, plum, black cherry and exotic wood spice. On the palate, a velvety entry is followed by concentrated black cherry and red plum fruit accented with toffee. It finishes with a hint of roasted coffee. Supple tannins add depth and length. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with filet mignon with Cabernet mushroom sauce or pan-roasted chicken with Swiss chard, pancetta and onions in creamy polenta. $68 per bottle Franciscan Oakville Cabernet Located in the heart of Napa Valley, Franciscan estate is one of California’s most loved and respected wineries. The fruit-laden 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon offers a luscious bouquet of dark fruit including blackcurrant, black cherry, and blackberry layered over aromas of sweet vanilla and baking spices. Approachable cherry and cocoa notes lead to a wine of intense concentration, with flavors of dried plums and cola laced with hints of tobacco. Generous weight and mouth-filling velvet tannins frame a finish that lingers with flavors of dark cherry and cassis. $54 per bottle Robert Mondavi Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Densely-packed aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, chocolate mint and Provencal herbs anticipate the deep, multi-layered flavors echoed within and augmented by lush black cherry, blueberry, anise, espresso and toasty oak. Firm, ample tannins and a persistent black-fruit finish assure the potential to develop even greater complexity in the years to come. Wine Enthusiast - June 2012 94 points - Editor's Choice Dry, Smooth and distinguished. This shows Mondavi's ability to get the grapes ripe in blackberries and currants, yet the fruit pulls back at the last moment, letting earthy, herbal notes take over, providing complexity and endless pleasure. The tannins are pure Oakville - sweet, soft and supple. Drink this elegant, balanced wine over the next six years. $84 per bottle = Vegetarian Selection -21– Updated on 3/31/09 Copper Mountain Chapel The Copper Mountain Chapel provides a traditional setting with a mountain feel for your wedding ceremony.
