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.

Wine Diva tasted December 2005
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...
