Sherwood Estate 2000 Reserve Chardonnay (Canterbury)
- $20
Very fresh and vibrant, filled with zesty pear, citrus and pineapple fruit. Just a pleasure to drink, balancing lush fruit with zippy acids. Hints of apples and butter linger in the background.

Giesen 1999 Noble School Road Late Harvest Riesling (Canterbury)
- $18
This blend of Riesling (usually 60–70%) and Müller-Thurgau gets musky, spicy notes from the M-T, while the bulk of the flavors and aromas are apricot and orange from the Riesling. Sweet and fairly low in alcohol (10%), this would make a nice pairing with various fruit desserts.

Giesen 1998 Reserve Barrel Selection Chardonnay (Canterbury)
- $20
The cool climate of Canterbury shows through in this wine’s lemony fruit and tangy acidity. Add to that a touch of toast and a custardy, leesy mouthfeel and the wine comes out a winner.

Mt. Beautiful 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Canterbury)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A plump, nicely concentrated Sauvignon Blanc, the 2009 Mount Beautiful doesn’t have the most intense aromatics, but is holding on to its weighty melon and fig flavors and lingering citrus finish. Drink up.

Torlesse 2004 Riesling (Canterbury)
- $13
Stony and minerally on the nose, with some lime and pear notes that hover in the background. Despite its off-dry nature, it’s similarly austere in flavor, offering up only modest fruit to go with its dry, minerally notes. A bit of a ’tweener, not sweet, fruity and luscious, but not fully dry and bracing. Imported by McDevitt & McDevitt Importers.

Sandihurst 2004 Pinot Noir (Canterbury)
- $18
Spicy and floral, with a light, silky mouthfeel and flavors of cranberries, cherries and hints of mushroom. This is a pretty style, best paired with chicken or salmon rather than heavier meats. Imported by Smart Imports Inc.
