Thumbprint Cellars-Westside Vineyard-Chardonnay-Russian River Valley-2007-$12.96-A very

crisp nose of citrus and spice, good yellow color.  Honey and pear, apple, and orange/lemon citrus.  An

interesting and different enjoyable Chardonnay.  This is the third varietal I have reviewed for this

winery, this Chard, a Pinot Noir and a Red Blend, all were very good and well valued, all with this

interesting label.  I visited their tasting room in Sonoma a few years back, worth the trip.         NR

CR-4-4.5     Good with seafood, salads, chicken.

Leeuwin Estate-Art Series-Cabernet Sauvignon-Margaret River-Australia-2004-$29.99-A

nose of plum and spice, very dark in color.  A smooth, nice tasting wine, plums, chocolate, with some

vegetal qualities.  A well made wine, came with a screw cap unusual for a premium wine, their

labels are commissioned from different artists.         RP-87      WS-88      CR-4-4.5      Good with

prime rib, salad, pasta.
