the following wines

Sartarelli Verdiccio 'Tralivio' Italy 2011
Lively and vibrant in colour, with a high alcoholic content, it has strength and character. It has a light and inviting fragrance with a harmoniously balanced taste which is both full-flavoured and sweet-aromatic.

Felton Road 'Bannockburn' Chardonnay New Zealand 2011
White peach, elderflower and wet stones abound on the nose. The delicate subtlety and remarkable harmony of the wine is instantly appealing with no one feature urging for attention. The integration of fruit and complexing winemaking characters like freshly baked bread and mineral provides intrigue and great persistence.

Duckhorn Migration Chardonnay USA 2010
Reflecting the world-class terroir of California's Russian River Valley, this vibrant and sophisticated Chardonnay combines white flower aromatics with enticing lemon custard and stone fruit flavors.

Lopez de Heredia Cubillo Rioja Spain 2006
The 2006 Vina Cubillo Tinto Crianza is a blend of 65% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacho and the rest Mazuelo and Graciano. It has a dark ruby color with an orange-brownish rim and a nose of red fruit, citric notes of candied orange skin and fresh blood orange, white pepper, balsamic herbs and some raw meat aromas. The palate is very polished, with balsamic flavors, sweet tannins and good acidity

Domaine de Chevalier France 2007

Fontodi Flaccianello Italy 2009
