Indian Creek 2005 Star Garnet Red (Snake River Valley)
- $14
Indian Creek Garnet offers rich leather, spice and pepper on the nose and a balanced, savory blend of red fruit, pepper and warming spice on the palate. The tannins are smooth and the acidity good, though the wine could use food to soften its peppery character. Think spiced grilled ribs, burgers.

Ste. Chapelle 1999 Chardonnay
- $10
Very dry and slightly musty, the fruit tastes lightly of apple and citrus, but the wine already seems to be heading over a cliff. —P.G.
