Wine of the Month
Sweet Bliss wine

Sweet Bliss by Pacific Rim
The best way to describe this wine is YUMMMMMM!

The name says it all. The aromas and flavors of the wine are perfectly portrayed by the front label artwork of a ripe cherry dipped in melted chocolate. The label jumps off the shelf and irresistibly begs you to indulge in the delights of this sweet, lush red wine. Visit www.rieslingrules.com.

Francis Coppola Votre Santé Chardonnay 
Francis Coppola Votre Sante ChardonnayThis French-styled Chardonnay presents a lovely balance of vibrant fruit, minerals and crisp acidity. You'll find aromas of green apple, lemon and orange blossom with flavors of citrus and mineral highlights. The Votre Santé wines pay tribute to Francis Coppola's grandmother who would toast with the traditional French phrase, "A Votre Santé" whenever she raised her glass.

Francis Coppola Votre Santé Pinot Noir 
Francis Coppola Votre Sante Pinot NoirGrown along the cool Sonoma Coast, this wine is crafted in a refined, graceful style, light in body and very food friendly. This French-styled Pinot Noir is endowed with a silky texture, delicate aromas and a bright acidity. Revealing a nose of cranberries and spice, followed by flavors of fresh strawberries. A tribute to Francis Coppola's grandmother.
