Wine Station MenuWhitesBrick and Mortar Chardonnay 2023– Sale $29.99 – 93 pts Wine Enthusiast "This wine is lively, with aromas of apple, pear, citrus, lemon curd and bright acidity on the nose. Flavors on the palate suggest clementine, Meyer lemon and white grapefruit zest, cascading into lime-vanilla crema, dried spice and a dry, long finish. Pair with fresh Dungeness crab." -WE $3.00/$6.00/$12.00 Pena das Donas Almalarga Godello 2023 – Sale $23.99- 91 pts James Suckling “Pure nose of oyster shells, sliced apples and lemon zest extends to a medium-bodied palate with fresh, briny flavors and a minerally, medium-long finish.

Bouchie-Chatellier Pouilly-Fume Pierre a Fusil 2022 – Sale $29.99 – 96 pts Decanter "“This 22ha domaine is situated on the upper slopes of the St-Andelain commune. The vines are on flinty clay - hence the name of this wine, meaning flint - on south- and west-facing slopes. Since 1930 the domaine has been replacing vines with its own stock. The winery is on three levels, allowing the wine to be moved by gravity. This wine was fermented in stainless steel and left on its fine lees until bottling. Jim Budd: Light citric and grapefruit aromas; attractive mouthfilling texture, good balancing acidity and a vibrant, long finish. Still a little tight but will open out. Natalie Earl: Bright, vibrant aromas of green apple, freshly squeezed lemon, lime rind and spring blossom. Great intensity with lingering lime and greengage. Ben Llewelyn: Punchy fermented grass, struck flint, complex aromatics. Mineral coolness, luscious fruit without being cloying. A very accomplished wine for 2022.” ” - Dec $2.50/$5.00/$10.00
Abbona ‘Cinerino’ Bianco 2023 – Sale $30.99 – “The challenge of planting Viognier on the hills of the area has given excellen results.

Raul Perez Ultreia St. Jacques 2022 - Sale $20.99 – 93 pts Wine Advocate “The nose is harmonious and subtle, and it doesn't show any excess ripeness or heat. In fact, it is most impressive. It fermented with 100% full clusters and matured in used oak—barrels and foudres—for 14 months. The palate is medium-bodied, with a juicy texture and very fine tannins. It has a lot of fruit, but with time, it develops more complexity, with notes of fennel and aromatic herbs.” $2.00/$4.00/$8.00

Polished and rich on the palate, with rich, clear fruit, profound, slightly bitter on the finish due to the high alcohol content.” - Falstaff $3.00/$6.00/$12.00
Vaudieu Chateauneuf du Pape 2022 – Sale $39.99 – 91 pts Jeb Dunnuck "The classic 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape checks in as 54% Grenache, 23% Syrah, 15% Cinsault, and the rest Mourvèdre. It has a beautiful perfume of sweet red fruits, peppery garrigue, and spicy, Provençal nuances that flow to a medium-bodied 2022 with a ripe, perfumed, sun-kissed style that's already impossible to resist. It's going to shine for a solid 10-12 years, possibly even longer, as there's a solid core of ripe tannins.” -JD $4.00/$8.00/$16.00
