1. De Conti 2006 Cartizze, premium prosecco, Venito Italy.

From the Cartizze region, center of the finest vines, blended and slightly sweet with dry finish. Fruit forward, peach, apple, lingering lemon, marvelous as an aperitif, or for sipping anytime.

2. Chateau Dorian 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon, Barossa Valley, Australia

The Fruit Forward blackberry characters with oak evident, aged 15 months in French and American Oak. Lingering berries with a hint of licorice, rich tannins and the color is deep and dark red with purple tinges. Very good now and excellent cellaring potential

This is an opulent fruit driven wine. The color is deep black red with crimson hues. The nose is smoky with a cherry aroma infused with spice and earth. The palate is fleshy; displaying red fruit, charred wood, and is extremely well balanced.
