La Marca Prosecco

California
From the makers of Hahn wines, this is a tantalizingly crisp wine with wonderful
Meyer lemon and tangerine aromas and just a slight spritz of effervescence. It was a “Best of Class” wine in the 2013 SF Chronicle Wine Competition.

Kesseler “R” Riesling Kabinett
Rheingau, Germany
If Pinot Noir is the most versatile red varietal, then Riesling is the white equivalent. From the region of Germany that’s world famous for this variety, this wine has some sweetness, but is also has the bracing acidity to balance. It pairs well with spicy foods and your Easter ham.

Matchbook Chardonnay
Dunnigan Hills, California
Some California Chardonnays just have too much oak and buttery components to pair well with most food. This is not one of those wines. This Chardonnay is rich and has a restrained use of oak, with more apple and tropical flavors and a mineral finish.

Seaglass Pinot Noir
Santa Barbara, California
Minimalist style of bright red berry fruit, very little oak and refreshing acidity, Pinot Noir is quite possibly the easiest wine varietal to pair with food. From salmon to pork, and with a variety of cheeses and salads, this is a workhorse around the table.
