Dragonette Cellars 2012 Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara $19.99 Buy NOW

Pictured here is my much older brother, Big Stig. Now Stiggo is a manly man who likes to ride his motorcycle, hunt and fish, blow up things, and play with power tools. He also knows a good wine when he tastes it and he absolutely loves a good rose. We always say that there is nothing like an ice cold beer on the Colorado River in 110 degree heat. But, there is something better, way better. A bone dry, crisp and refreshing wine with enough acidity and fruit to let you know you are drinking a serious wine carefully handcrafted by a trio of geniuses out of Santa Ynez. Read More...

2009 Bench Cabernet Sauvignon

#1 Wine of RCW's 2012 Top 100:

The Red Carpet Family is very proud to present Bench Cab as our 2012 Wine of the Year. We spend quite a bit of our time throughout the year tasting the wines that we will sell at our store and pour in the wine bar. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it.

As we go through the year we identify wines early that we want on the list and as time goes by the Top 100 begins to take shape. Number 1 is a whole other matter. Read More...

2009 Ghost Pines Cabernet

2008 Vintage: #45 in our 2011 Top 100 Catalog

Few wines make it to our Top 100 three years in a row, but Ghost Pines knocked one out of the park again.

"This wine shows elegance and weight at the same time, which is the result of blending Napa County grapes for structure, with Sonoma County fruit that brings richness, depth, and power. The nose shows classic Cab aromas of blackberries, vanilla and toast, and the palate offers rich, jammy fruit with spice and cocoa. The finish has enough grip for an age-worthy Cab, without turning your mouth inside out." -Ashley

Ghost Pines winemakers are dedicated to great grapes, and we like the way they cross district lines to Read More...
