Erath
2014 Pinot Gris
DUNDEE HILLS, OREGON
Erath wines are an expression of the land that the
winery has cultivated for more than 40 years,
longer than any other winery in the Dundee Hills
of Oregon. The red, iron-rich Jory soils, combined
with gentle breezes and warming sunshine of a
marine climate, have bestowed upon Dundee a
terroir of note. Luscious and fruit-forward, aromas
of ripe pear, key lime, fragrant gardenia and a hint
of golden fig offer an enticing sensory experience.
Cantaloupe, pineapple, kumquat and honey
embrace the palate in soft silkiness, melding into a
lengthy, satisfying finish.

River’s Edge Elkton Cuvée
Beemster Mustard Gouda
2012 Pinot Noir
ELKTON, OREGON
Cow’s milk Gouda flavored with
Mustard
NETHERLANDS
Two and a half hours Southwest of Portland, you’ll
find Elkton, located on the breathtakingly beautiful
Umpqua river. Elkton, a relatively new AVA
experiences a warmer climate than Willamette,
bringing you richer more luscious styles of Pinot
Noir. Speaking of richness you’ll notice an aroma
of chocolate, anise, dried cherry, earth and
mushroom, followed by rich flavors of black cherry
and vanilla, with a lingering finish. Drink now, or
let the fine tannins age gracefully for the 4-5 years.

We know how much screwtop regulars love “stuff
in their cheese”!  You are not alone!
In Holland, people often spread mustard on mild
cheeses to liven them up. Celebrating this tradition,
Beemster with Mustard incorporates whole
mustard seeds in this gouda. Eat this upon arriving
home, and come back to screwtop to stock up for
Turkey Day because this cheese is a crowd pleaser!

Windy Oaks
Bootleg
2013 Pinot Noir
CORRALITOS, CALIFORNIA
NAPA, CALIFORNIA
Beemster Mustard Gouda
Bootleg Red Blend is opulent, plush, and luscious
with red and black fruit, soft tannins and velvety
texture. In crafting this 2012 Bootleg Red Blend,
winemaker Brian Kosi's intent was to make a big,
luscious red blend with loads of dark fruit and
power. He used Merlot from famed Stagecoach
Vineyard to serve as the base due to its upfront red
fruit and soft tannins that make this wine
approachable early on. Combined, the other
varietals add structure, depth and richness that
bring this blend together in perfect harmony.

Windy Oaks Estate sits on a ridge in Corralitos
overlooking Monterey Bay in the distance. The
vineyard's 990-foot elevation, soil and its
orientation to the bay all are factors in creating a
long growing season perfect for pinot noir grapes to
ripen slowly and evenly. Medium garnet in color,
this wine is marked by aromas of cherry candy,
underbrush, and incense. This intensely full-bodied
Pinot Noir expresses elegance and can be enjoyed
this Thanksgiving or a few years down the road.
