WINES
Uriel Grillo
Price: $1.65/ozABV: 13%
Uriel, the archangel of repentance. Uriel played a very important role in ancient texts as the rescuer of Jesus' cousin John the Baptist from the Massacre of the Innocents ordered by King Herod. The translation of Uriel is ‘God of Light.’ Uriel was the angel who checked each of the doors during the Passover in order to ensure safety for God’s people. Grillo is a very resilient grape and one that withstands a lot of heat and wind on Sicily. It is probably best known as the foundation for Marsala but in its ‘dry’ form has many interesting characteristics. It is the most important white grape on Sicily and therefore the ‘principal light.’
Starborough Sauv Blanc
Price: $1.65/ozABV: 13%
Starborough Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand. With balanced acidity. It has layers of citrus and tropical fruit with hints of fresh green character, flavors of passion fruit, guava and kiwi layered over citrus in a crisp.
Archer Roose Rosé
Price: $1.60/ozABV: 13%
Dry and fruit-forward, with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and apricot compote.
Freakshow Cabernet
Price: $1.80/ozABV: 15%
Known for taking the road less traveled, Michael David Winery has always stood apart from the crowd. Whether it be their outlandish brands and packaging or their quirky personalities, Michael and David are definitely on a stage of their own and this wine showcases just that. The fruit for this wine comes from the original “super freak” himself, Michael Phillips’ Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard located only a medicine balls toss away from the winery.
Alberti Malbec
Price: $1.70/ozABV: 14%
This Malbec comes from the highest quality viticultural areas around Mendoza. Cool nights refresh grapes and help maintain zesty, fresh fruit aromas. Warm days impart ripe berry flavors and generous soft tannins. This wine is rich and inviting with 12 months of oak aging.
Old Vine Zinfandel
Price: $1.85/ozABV: 15%
Great wine begins with a suitable climate and soil, both of which are found in Lodi. Sandy Loam soil coupled with the hot, cold exchange that graces Lodi from day to night creates a utopic environment to cultivate warm-weather varietals including Zinfandel, Cabernet and Syrah.
