Chimney Creek Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Ripe tropical fruit, citrus and dried herbs flavours with a crisp and refreshing acidity. The grapes were destemmed, crushed, pressed and the juice cold settled. Fermentation occurred in temperature controlled stainless steel for three to five weeks after which the wine was fined, filtered and bottled under screw cap.

Kinton Syrah 2005
Kinton is dedicated to producing Syrah from some of the finest vineyard sites in Santa Barbara County. Their wines are dense and concentrated, elegant and sleek. It's not by accident that Kinton is located in Santa Barbara County —one of California's most celebrated appellations for Syrah. The unique conditions of this region allow Kinton to create Syrahs displaying both intensity and balance.
The 2005 is racy with plum and dark berry, brightened by high notes of cherry, spiced with black pepper, and scented in the essence of smoky dark chocolate.

Varner Foxglove Chardonnay '07
90 pts Robert Parker for the 06
"Winemaker Bob Varner makes Foxglove in a modern style that's meant to bring out the true terroir of an appellation (Edna Valley in Chardonnay and Paso Robles in Cabernet Sauvignon). He adds the same quality standards and attention to detail for Foxglove that he puts into every barrel of single vineyard Varner wine. Reminiscent of a pure, but rich Chablis, the wine forgoes malolactic fermentation, leaving it packed with natural acidity." -Winery
