CHAMPAGNE

No matter how you celebrate New Year’s Eve, or any special moment during the season, you can’t go wrong with high quality French Champagne. Just as they are in the restaurant, Moët & Chandon Champagne Brut Impérial and Ruinart Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut are both crowd-pleasers with the perfect balance of drinkability and sophistication.

WHITE

Kistler Chardonnay Les Noisetiers: “ is is a classic California Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast appellation, with a pleasing deep greenyellow hue. e wine’s pronounced and re ned sense of minerality pierces through the initial rst blush of stone fruit on the nose. Wet stone, powdered sea sand, and a slight sense of roasted grain give it substance. e core is packed with grilled citrus, and a touch of lemongrass, and threaded with a vibrant acidity that reverberates across the palate, making it balanced and versatile.”

In addition to these substantial yet nuanced bestsellers, Cork Dork also o ers its exclusive house wines, Cork Dork Nerdy Red and Cork Dorky White. Both blends, created in the Santa Rita Hills, make good cocktail hour ice breakers as well as entry point wines for those just starting their “wine journey,” according to Amirian. e 2018 Cork Dork Nerdy Red is made from Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sangiovese. It sees 10% New French Oak and 90% Neutral Oak for 26 months. As the fruit is sourced from the Santa Rita Hills and the Santa Ynez Valley, it features mouthwatering red fruit, spice, pepper and a hint of strawberry. Cork Dorky White is made from Pinot Grigio, Gruner Veltliner and Gewurztraminer with a subtle addition of Chardonnay and Loureiro. HH
