This week we will be offering VIN DU LAC of Chelan. This is the first time they have visited so let's show them what Des Moines is made of!!!! The lineup will be: "VIE!" VIOGNIER 2007 - $15.99 - Columbia Valley This wine contains the classic aroma & flavor profile of peach, apricot & fruit tree blossoms, while showing crispness and mouthfilling richness.

BARREL SELECT CHARDONNAY - $17.99 NEW VINTAGE! Bright Citrus, delicate corn silk & floral scents; pear-apple and mild lemon-lime citrus flavors. Mouth-warming richness, crisp acidity, and a lingering finish.

"SAVVY BLANC" Sauvignon Blanc - $11.99 - The wine was vinted in small lot stainless steel fermenters with limited lees contact during early tank aging of the wine to preserve fruit and freshness. Savvy wine drinkers know a good thing when they taste it, and will recognize this as a premium, delightful, and very hip wine.

CUVEE ROUGE - $17.99 - Seven varietals make this rich Cuvee. Syrah and Merlot are lush and bold: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Malbec add richness and depth. Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese provide spice and elegance.

RED CAFE CABERNET - $17.99 - Wow - I couldn't find tasting notes so we get to make them up as we go along. ********************** And to finish up LATE HARVEST (Riesling & Gewurztraminer) - $15.99 - This wine is rich in body and flavor, but great acidity provides offsetting structure and crispness. Thus, while definitely a dessert wine, you will find it delicate and elegant, not cloying. Intricate nose and flavors of apple, pear, honey, melon, and ginger. In its beautifully packaged 375 ml tall bottle, and sealed with a snowdrift of satiny wax, this one is a treasure to cellar for years, or to give to that person you want to tell "You're Special".

We've been waiting for this Gruner to come in.

This is in the 1 liter bottle for $10.99 - a great summer sipper.

Refreshing, crisp and dry with wonderful aromas of apples and citrus fruit. Great with poultry, meats, seafood and vegetables.

Take advantage of us making room for some new items. We are heading to the gift show on Monday and need to create space.

Village Frame and Marine View Florist will also have items available at their shops.

This could help you with some gift giving ideas to have on hand.

Stop by on Friday evenings between 4 and 6:30 and sample a couple of new wines.

We may be offering a variatel that is rarely heard of or a Ric's Pic that won't break the bank.
