Shinn Estates Red
NY Times wine writer Eric Asimov is a fan, and so are we. Husband and wife team, Barbara Shinn and David Page, came from a NYC restaurant background, they chucked it all and moved to LI to make subtle, terroir-driven wine, made from Bordeaux varieties. Blackberry and touches of blueberry fruit on the palate with a touch of Cab Franc goodness on the finish, from the best producer on Long Island.
Montinore Pinot Gris
Montinore practices biodynamic farming because they feel it consistently produces some of the best fruit. Dry, aromatic and crisp with hints of lemon on the palate.
Yorkville Cellars High Rollr Red
Bright boysenberry and raspberry aromas lead into fruity flavors with a gently spicy finish to make it a real crowd pleaser. Loaded with sweet berry and spice flavors, it has a friendly finish yet with enough impact and acidity to compliment a wide variety of foods. A delicious wine for everyday drinking from one of the oldest certified organic vineyards in California.
Yorkville Cellars Sauvignon Blanc
This wine comes from Yorkville's Randle Hill Vineyard, which encompasses steep terraces, rocky hillsides and gentle knolls. These different growing conditions lead to an interesting complexity with aromas of grapefruit, citrus and lime with crisp, clean fruity flavors including an underlying minerality. A truly delicious California Sauvignon Blanc that we prefer to many of the pricier version from Napa.

This is from Charles Smith: The Modernist Project, an outfit that aims to shed all pretensions in an effort to simply make wine fun. Smith is a big-haired dude and former band manager.
