99 Vines Moscato
Characteristics: Aromas of sweet, candied hazelnuts are followed by a honeyed palate with grapefuit notes to the finish.
- wine tasting note by DYB, January 2011
Pretty light color in the glass. Lush, fruity, fragrant aromas. Peaches, tangerines and sweetness on the palate. Fruit cocktail in a glass!

99 Vines Pinot Grigio
Characteristics: In Minnesota we have a great fishing tradition and culture. Whether you're in a canoe or a speedboat, there is great peace and tranquility to come from sitting back and casting a line. A few hours later you hopefully have a bucketful of walleye and bass (or even just some panfish), at which time you head to the shore for another great tradition: the shore lunch. Get a gigantic pot of water into a rolling boil, add carrots, potatoes, lots of spices, and more. Clean the fish you just caught and drop them in. Throw a little more heat (bacon fat works well) into the fire so the water rolls out and over the pot, putting the fire out. Dump the complete contents onto a newspaper covered picnic table and dive in. The wine? This one -- unpretentious, clean, bright, lively, and affordable. Simple as that.
Wine review by Jason Kallsen, December 2011
Light-bodied, elegant and flavorful. Tart green apple flavors with notes of luscious white peach, floral blossom, and citrus. Tasty and tangy.

99 Vines Pinot Noir
Characteristics: Smoky berries and red cherries make this thirst slaking glass of Pinot Noir an immediate charmer. Medium bodied and smooth with juicy structure and a faint brambly quality that rounds this out. Immediate appeal carries us through to the finish. Simply a tasty glass of wine!

Aia Vecchia Vermentino 2011
Characteristics: From Tuscany’s warmer Maremma region near the coast, this Vermentino is as much almonds as it is citrus and orchard fruits. Structured and compelling this is textural, fragrant and an affable addition to the Aia Vecchia offerings.

Akitabare Junmai Sake 'Northern Skies'
Characteristics: AKITABARE 'KOSHIKI JUNZUKURI'
"NORTHERN SKIES"
A pleasingly dry, well-crafted sake much appreciated by connoisseurs. It has just enough body to support the spare lines of its structure, making it the kind of sake one can drink enjoyably for hours at a stretch. Its subdued, understated refinement evokes a sense of the northern province where it is meticulously brewed. Goes best with seafood and vegetable dishes simply prepared, including tempura. May be served either cold or warmed. -World Sake Imports
Rice Variety: Gin no Sei
Polishing Ratio: 60%
Alcohol Percentage: 14.5%
Sake Meter Value: +2.0
Acidity: 1.8
Yeast Type: Association No. 9
Origin: Japan - Japan

Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2011
Characteristics: Named for the prized Alexander Valley within Sonoma, Alexander Valley Vineyards’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a nimble wine whose depth and complexity whisper some of its secrets: that this estate bottling hails from various lots with different soils each fermented separately and blended for breadth –and that this spectrum of flavors widens from mixing in the other country cousins which like Cabernet Sauvignon come from Bordeaux; those are Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot who all come together during 14 months in barrel. In 2011, this meritage blend of sorts could pass as a Bordeaux from the Medoc for its tight red currants, a currant leaf aroma, a lifted spice, fine knit tannins, an al dente character worthy of the table, and a velvety mouthfeel. It somehow sates the desire for a big red without reading as sweet (as so many California reds have begun to read) and despite sating a thirst for a big red it also refreshes the palate with juicy acids. A seriously appealing taste of Alexander Valley.
