Wine & Spirits - April 2011

White

DolceDolce
California
$70 (375 ml)

The pure luscious gold of this dessert wine reflects the obsessive focus of America's only winery dedicated to a single late-harvest wine. Started years ago by Far Niente, it now stands alone. Skip dessert and savor this.


RED

Penfolds St. HenriPenfolds St. Henri
Australia
$60

Call this "Baby Grange," hundreds of dollars less than the flagship but a lovely treatment of shiraz in its own elegant way. An Australian version of top-growth Bordeaux rather than a Rhone aspirant.


Whiskey

Jameson Gold Reserve Old Irish WhiskeyJameson Gold Reserve Old Irish Whiskey
Ireland
$60

A very fine, very old whisky so rich you should let it breathe a little. Patience will repay with wonderfully sweet and honeyed notes of nuts and vanilla.
