2 Bottles of Benziger BioDynamic Wine
Two bottles of wine from this award-winning Sonoma County Biodynamic vineyard. The Obsidian Point 2015 is a very distinctive wine that is supple and complex in style. Familiar aromas of sweet, black cherry and black olive play off spicy black pepper and tobacco leaf, while a tantalizing fragrance of vanilla help to unite into one beautiful, complex package. Experience a silky, almost cream-like entry, while flavors of dark fruit, clove and pepperwood entwine on the tongue. A perfect balance of acid and tannin all come together in an exceptional finish. The Three Blocks 2015 has lush, ripe characteristics of dark fruit, dark chocolate, coffee and vanilla. Supple, soft tannins give structure while pulling attention toward intense fruit flavors and aromas. Stimulate your senses with these wines.

6 Bottles of 2016 Elouan Oregon Pinot Noir
Elouan means "good light", and this wine reflects the nature of where it was grown through its vibrant mouthfeel. The coastal hills of Oregon are the ideal region to grow this resonant style of Pinot Noir. Along with the cool summers and a short growing season, the soil and long days of sun rays are the foundation of this Pinot Noir's northern character.

2016 Kosta Browne Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir
Located on the eastern slopes of the coastal range that shelters the fertile Salinas Valley from Big Sur, this appellation is relatively new, with the first vineyards being developed in the 1970s. Surprisingly, these central coast slopes are generally cooler than the Russian River Valley, largely as a result of the ocean breezes and fog coming in from Monterey Bay. The vineyards are sheltered by the coastal peaks that limit rainfall. Pinot Noir excels on these hillsides. A taste of the Santa Lucia Highland chaparral.
