Fulkerson 2005 Traminette
- $12
Orange citrus and flowers lead the nose, and on the palate exhibits lime, apple and spice. It’s a touch sweet but overall, enjoyable and unique.

Hopkins Vineyard 2004 Estate Bottled Ice Wine Vidal Blanc (Western Connecticut Highlands)
- $40
Estate-bottled with assertive aromas of peach and apricot, this dessert wine tends towards the sweet but is balanced with a good acidity. May still be a tad sweet for fans of an icewine with a more measured touch, but the fruit is fresh and flavorful and the wine has complexity. Will pair well with creamy desserts—think vanilla ice cream or crème brûlée.

Augusta Winery 2005 Vignoles
- $9
This clean but flowery Vignoles offers white wine lovers a unique alternative. Crisp and sweet pineapple with balanced acidity on the palate is led by a fragrant nose.
