$24
A powerful wine with a fruity core, showing flavors of blueberry, cherry and plum all wrapped in sweet tannin. Barnyard aromas add character to the ripe nose, while oak rounds out the wine, adding some dusty spice notes.

This fumé starts with aromas of peach, vanilla and spice, followed by an elegant balance of citrus fruit, toasted vanilla and lemon zest. Fresh but with added body, this SB will pair well with oilier, bolder flavored fish, cheese, cream dishes.

Floral, fresh and fragrant on the nose, this white offers elegant flavors of honey, apricot and tropical fruit. Good acidity and a crisp overall quality are balanced by the luscious fruit. A unique, pretty wine with diverse food pairing options…try it with Asian or Indian cuisine.

Domaine Gerovassiliou 2004 Chardonnay (Epanomi)
-
$32
Evangelos Gerovassiliou has done a lot of work with French varieties in Greece, and this version has paid off. The oak is obvious but not dominant, offering aromas of butterscotch and toast and a smooth feel. The fruit stands on its own, with guava and peach flavors and aromas. Mint makes an appearance before the long, citrus-and-spice finish.

Domaine Gerovassiliou 2006 Syrah (Epanomi)
This full-bodied red gives sexy aromas of dark chocolate, cherry, vanilla and cedar, followed by equally deep flavors of cocoa, black fruit, plum and black pepper. Smooth but sturdy, it will pair well with steaks, stews and earthier fare.
