2007 Oregon Riesling
This riesling has a leesy scent to complement flavors of ripe apple, fresh herbs and lemon zest. It would pair well with smoked salmon. (2,733 cases)

2004 Salice Salentino Riserva
The aromas of bacon fat and smoke dominate the notes of rose and plum when this is first poured. A blend of negroamaro (85 percent) and malvasia nera (15), it gains depth with air, melding umami richness with vibrant acidity. Decant a bottle for braised boar.
