Celebrate with Independence Sommelier Sips Selected for You!

CASTLE ROCK CHARDONNAY 2006, CALIFORNIA
"This elegant Chardonnay offers a rich, ripe and fruity character with a delicious blending of vanilla, pear, citrus and melon flavors, subtle oak undertones and a long, balanced finish. In any season this Castle Rock Chardonnay will complement most cuisines and is an especially pleasing accompaniment to fish, poultry and lightly sauced entrees."-Winery notes $ 11.99

Truly a bang!
CANNONBALL CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2005, CALIFORNIA
This is one of the values of the year! 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, this big, bold red wine explodes with black cherry and berry fruit, with a long, chocolate-y finish. Though it's full and rich, this Cab is well-balanced and easy to enjoy with or without food. This is a great wine for outdoor grillin' or for any party. As the winery says, "Share a splash with good friends!" $ 12.99

One of my ultimate favorites...
CASTLE ROCK PINOT NOIR WILLAMETTE 2007, OREGON
"This elegant medium-bodied wine offers aromas of cherry and spice. On the palate the wine gives flavors of berries, cinnamon, black cherry, sweet vanilla oak and floral notes, with a long, velvety finish. This versatile wine pairs well with lamb, chicken, veal, salmon and light pasta dishes."--Winery Notes $ 13.98

Great for those who aren't 100% Sauvignon Blanc lovers!
HONIG SAUVIGNON BLANC NAPA VALLEY 2007, CALIFORNIA
Complex scents of pear and apple cider. Juicy flavors of apple and white peach. Lingering peach impressions in the juicy close. $ 15.99
