Specials for November
Coexistence... what the farmer does with the turkey - until Thanksgiving.
- Mike Connolly
Here is what we strive for at Marczyk Fine Wines: to bring you the most delicious, best quality wines we can find at the very best price. We think that the wines of November are no exception. Wines you can and should be proud to serve, but not have a conniption when Aunt Janice fills her glass up to the very tippy top brim. Twice. November’s wines are food friendly and lovingly selected, from our home to yours.
Pinot Noirs of November - Nothing says turkey dinner quite like Pinot Noirs, so we are featuring a few Pinots this month. Delicious, affordable, and just right for the big dinner!
Bad Dog Ranch, Pinot Noir 2006. Sonoma, California.
This quirky and completely delicious Pinot is named Bad Dog after the winery’s Bull Mastiff who lives among the vines and nibble grapes from the vines. The wine is juicy, approachable and priced for any pocket book. Ripe with raspberries, cherries, plums, and a soft hint of oak that lingers all the way through the velvety finish.

Alfredo Roca, Pinot Noir 2006. San Rafael/Mendoza, Argentina.
Argentina’s most loved, best known wine is Malbec, so we were more than a little surprised when we tasted this delicious Pinot Noir. It comes from the heart of the Argentine wine country and is made by Mr. Alfredo Roca, a Spanish gentleman whose family has been producing wine there for over four generations. The wine, medium in body and seductively rich and silky, offers a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir that unites a Burgundian sense of terroir with lively New World character.

Rhea, Pinot Noir. Willamette, Oregon.
Vineyard Manager and Winemaker, Luke McCollom learned great wine making working with Bob Levy and Bill Harlan at Harlan Estate. Rhea has a rich nose of blackberry and earth that leads you into a mouthful of black cherry, wild mushrooms and sage. This is a gorgeous Pinot!

Cornaro, Pinot Grigio 2006. Veneto, Italy.
The combination of distinctively gravely soil and lots of love contributes to the wine’s delicate nuances of bright citrus, aromatic honey and subtle stone fruit. Sleek and elegantly styled, this is a heck of a nice wine with beautiful balance and a distinctive, lingering finish.

La Palma Reserve, Chardonnay 2002. Rapel Valley, Chile.
This winery has been producing some of the best estate grown and estate bottled wines since 1824. Winemaker Jose Ignacio Cancino continues the tradition to this day with his lovely Reserve Chardonnay. La Palma 2002 is aged partially in stainless steel tanks and part in French oak, resulting is a wine with a full body, good depth, and bright character. Delicious!

Desrayaud, Mâcon-Vergisson 2007. Burgundy, France.
Made from 100% Burgundian Chardonnay, this knock-out white is an annual favorite of ours from Maurice and Corine Desrayaud. Mâcon-Vergisson is a white wine that was born to go with food. Beautifully dry but with a fleshy character that leaves a lasting impression, this dry Chardonnay is one that we are always so happy to see arrive, and sad to see disappear. Good thing it’s going to a good home: yours!

Barbadillo, Palomino Fino 2007. Andalucia, Spain.
The Palomino grape is typically used to make Sherry, but it can also produce a lovely white wine such as this. This charming dry white is graced with a fresh, clean nose and a crisp, flavorful palate. Barbadillo is best served well chilled and is just perfect as an aperitif or with a wide variety of tapas, poultry or seafood.

Brandborg, Or Blanc 2006. Elkton, Oregon.
We love Oregon because of wines like this! An homage to Alsace, the chosen grapes in Branborg Blanc are aromatic and floral Gewürztraminer, crisp, clean Riesling and ripe, rich Pinto Gris. Each grape brings its own distinctive characteristic to the wine. Bursting with fresh white peaches, grapefruit, honeysuckle and lemon blossoms, and bright fresh acidity, this is a delicious white wine at a price we think you’ll love.

Masciarelli, Rosé d’ Abruzzo 2007. Abruzzo, Italy.
No kidding, this elegant Italian rosé is full of incredibly food friendly flavor. Many of you have enjoyed the red wine that we carry from this producer. We’re certain you’ll love their gorgeous rosé as well. Made from the Montepulciano varietal, this ruby colored beauty opens up with a ripe nose of red fruit, fragrant tea roses and a hint of spice. The robust yet clean palate is plump with forest fruit, soft spice and a satisfying, well finessed finish.

Rivetto, Dolcetto d’ Alba 2007.
We had the pleasure of hosting the charming Rivetto brothers one Friday night in our shop and this, their gorgeous Dolcetto, was a favorite of the evening. Bursting with vibrant red fruit, lively acids and the silkiest, most supple tannins of all time, this wine is going to knock your socks off with Thanksgiving dinner if not before.

Les Brottier, Côtes du Rhône 2005.
Charles Brott settled in the heart of the Rhone Valley in 1931. Brott was the first in the area to estate bottle his wines allowing for greater control and quality. This elegant and full flavored Cotes du Rhone is a beautiful example of his work with distinctive style and character alongside flavors and aromas of dark fruit, spice and a hearty, rustic sense of terroir that aptly represents the land from which it comes.

And last but certainly not least... Engine Room, Shiraz 2005. McLaren Vale, Australia.
Extreeeeemly limited!!! We try very hard to bring you a couple of quirky, crazy little hard-to-find gems: this is the latest. From winemaker Hamish McGuire comes this deep, dense and beautifully structured Shiraz. The palate oozes with ripe, elegant fruit and soft hints of mocha that hold their own until the very end of the lovely, lingering finish.
