Kathy's Pick! by KATHY MARCKS HARDESTY
Sinor LaVallee 2005 Pinot Noir Anniversary Cuvee Arroyo Grande Valley
Winemaker Mike Sinor makes this special blend to commemorate his marriage to Cheri LaVallee Sinor in Beaune, the heart of Burgundy in France. The Pinot Noirs, grown in Talley and Aubaine vineyards, create an intense and impressive wine, the darkest and spiciest of his three proprietary Pinots. It’s layered with flavors of blackberries, black cherries, and plums, nuanced with impressive notes of blueberries and tart Bing cherries. This deep and flavorful wine lingers with a long spicy finish. Well balanced and drinkable now, it will become greater with time in the bottle. So buy two and hide one in the back of your cellar. Let it age five or more years and it will be a treat when you rediscover it. An excellent value at $45 retail, it’s only available online at

Ancient Peaks 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Paso RoblesAncient Peaks 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Paso Robles
Besides his limited-production wines, winemaker Mike Sinor also makes this value-priced line of good quality wines. Bright and lively, this white offers tasty green-apple and melon flavors highlighted with herb and Meyer-lemon notes. Flavorful and food-friendly it’s a good deal at $12 retail. Pair this with roasted poultry, curried Asian dishes, or chilaquiles (that aren’t too spicy-hot). It’s available at Ancient Peak’s tasting room in Santa Margarita and in local wine stores.
