2006 O'HANNON CELLARS, CABERNET SAUVIGNON, NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA $24.99 O'Hannon
Cellars is made exclusively for Du Vin Fine Wines by talented winemaker Matt Smith, owner of Blacksmith Cellars. Over the
last year, Matt and I have been working on bringing you this excellent value in 100% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged
for two years in a combination of both new and used French and American Virginian oak. The wine has a dark purple and red
color with pretty aromas of camphor and cassis, and delicious ripe fruit flavors with a light cedar and coffee aftertaste.
This Cabernet is lightly tannic, medium-weight and is easily drinkable now, enjoy over the next couple of years. 75
CASES PRODUCED. The
name O'Hannon is a tribute to my family's Irish heritage. My great grandfather John O'Hannon
came from Northeast Ireland from the County Antrim and my mother's family hails from Northwest Ireland in County Donegal.
The O'Hannon crest is a variation on the original O'Hannon coat of arms. Slainte!!! (cheers), Dan.

2009 MAN VINTNERS, CHENIN BLANC (STEEN), COASTAL REGION, SOUTH AFRICA $9.99 I used
to drink a fair amount of "Steen" when I was living in London, the British love their Steen, as they call it. The
Super-fresh 2009 is here for the holidays, light, mineral and citrus flavors, a fantastic deal in South African Chenin Blanc.
Only $8.99 per bottle by the case.
NV RUGGERI, PROSECCO DI VALDOBBIADENE, ETRA DRY, "GOLD
LABEL", VENETO, ITALY $16.99 Ruggeri has been on my mind! I've been enjoying this Prosecco every time that I have
had the chance to dine at Mario Batali's "Pizzeria Mozza" in Los Angeles, Ruggeri is their house Prosecco. Lovely
small bubbles, medium-weight, dry with a creamy texture, excellent for the holidays. (Only 11% Alc.) Highly Recommended.
