Try the Gallo of Sonoma 1997 Barrelli Creek Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma Valley, California. This Cabernet Sauvignon has an intense, spicy nose of mint, cedar, ripe black fruits and anise follows through to rich, distinctive, and dense flavors of mocha, dark cherry, blackberry, sage, and spice balanced by good acidity. The Barrelli Creek is aged in American oak to balance all of that fruit with a kind of a rugged spiciness. It's a stand-out rich, big, creamy, and intense Cab.

Or consider the Acacia 1999 Beckstoffer Pinot Noir from Carneros, California. The Beckstoffer delivers aromas of dried pear and cranberry that pass on to comforting flavors of cocoa and deep black cherry with toffee notes. It's lively but with full weight throughout the mouth, ending in succulence and renewal for the palate. The tannins are persistent yet not aggressive. This wine is well served accompanying a roast duck, pork, or lamb cut, particularly with a plum and berry reduction sauce.

From France try the Aile dArgent 1998 Bordeaux Blanc from Bordeaux, France. In a nutshell this is outstanding. The Aile dArgent is an elegant, rich, sumptuous wine with aromas of green apple, vanilla and melon. Medium bodied, with good acidity.

For a fine champagne consider the Deutz 1990 Cuvee William Brut from Champagne, France. On the nose, the wine has floral notes of wild roses and hawthorn, in addition to honey, bergamot, and grilled almonds. The Cuvée William is a stylish aperitif. It is best paired with fine cuisine such as foie gras, caviar, lobster, fish, or white meat dishes. It also pairs well with sushi and a great many Asian dishes.
