Wine & Spirts: September 2010

| 9/1/2010

White

Mollydooker Violinist Beringer Chardonnay, Sbragia Limited Release
California
$45

This limited release from two great Napa names is for adults only — strong, sleek stuff, creamy, full of fruit and spice. A lemon Danish with extra butter and sprinkle of cinnamon. For best friends only.

RED

Mas Alta Artigas Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape
France
$95

Look past the Bordeaux excitement to the Rhone, where 2007 was a great vintage and the Perrins did it up right. Lush and dark with black fruits, smoke, coffee and mystery. Drink now, but save some for 2020.

BRANDY

Chopin Vodka Xante
Sweden
$40

A shamelessly sexy blend of French brandy and Belgian pears bursting with fruit, vanilla and creamy texture. Best in chilled glasses.
