Cantina Frentana Cococciola   Terre di Chiteti, Italy 6.00

an igt from umbria. cococciola is grape from the area rarely seen bottled by itself. apparently frentana has figured it out because this wine has lovely fruit and balance. great with food. awesome by itself.

Radog   Gewurztraminer Monterey, California 8.00

gewurtraminer from California in a dry style.  still smells floral like gewurz but maybe not the sweetness you know. there are only 17 barrels of this wine made every year.  that is cool in itself.
