Fish Eye Pinot Grigio, California, 2005-Bright fruit aromas jump out of the glass at you (just like the back label says). Peaches, melon, white flowers, minerals and marshmallow. Satisfyingly slippery mouth, creamy and ripe with crisp acidity and a long finish.
At this price ladies you can serve it up to all your gal-pals and still save your pennies for that perfect little white eyelet slipdress!

Flagstone Noon Gun, South Africa, 2005-The temperatures have been soaring so Wine Diva is sticking to her guns...her warm-weather wine-guns that is. Its patio time in July (and if we are lucky August thru October) so a refreshing blend of bright, clean flavours is what this gal wants. The Noon Gun is a blend of seven varietals Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Semillon. Tropical fruit and ripe orchard fruit, zippy citrus and floral aromas. Fresh!

Folie a Duex, Menage a Trois White, Napa Valley Calif., 2005-
Sweet tropical aromas and earthy floral/honey. Fresh and zippy with good clean citrus. The cheeky name on the label alone should inspire you!
$19.99


Folie a Duex, Menage a Trois Red, Napa Valley Calif., 2004-If you're feeling a bit red, or heading to  a barbeque then move from the Menage a Trois White to the Menage a Trois Red. Because if there's a threesome goin' on you may as well stay with the status quo. Plum, cassis, blackberry and chocolate in a velvety smooth package. (shown left)

Fox Creek ‘Vixen’-Australia-100% Cabernet Franc…yes, I did say Cab Franc!
Aromas seem classic Cab Franc, hint of green bell pepper, black fruit and berries. Intensely extracted purple-black hue with just a hint of sweetness and soft bubbles to carry this rich cassis, plum and earthy anomaly to your tastebuds.

Franciacorta, Bellavista Cuvée Brut, Lombardy Italy- Franciacorta is considered the 'Champagne' region of Italy known for its premium sparkling wines. The Bellavista comes in a severely modern, triangular shaped bottle with a small, classy gold embossed label.
Crisp orchard fruit, hints of floral, citrus rind and yeast with a hint of roasted nut flavors. Fine mousse, delicate but persistent bubbles. The Wine Diva drank a bottle of this putting up the Christmas tree...shhh...
