WHITES
2017 Cloudy Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc: In the beautiful glacial valleys of New Zealand, we discovered this crisp, clean, and delicious Sauvignon Blanc. Bright and flavourful, it’s perfect with tangy cheese or fish — including sushi!  - Alix Fox, Donor Relations


2017 Whitehaven Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc: This is by far my favorite Sauvignon Blanc!!  - Carol Pilarski, Board Member & Retired Assistant Superintendent


2016 M. Chapoutier Crozes Hermitage La Petite Ruche Blanc 2016: The tasting note "filled with aromas of green apple, exotic fruits and citrus” for this French wine grabbed my attention, and the high rating is also a big plus. Hope you will enjoy it!  - Caroline Yang, Community Relations & Trivia Bee Co-Chair


2013 Santa Margherita Valdadige Pinot Grigio: This is my favorite white wine, always perfect on a summer night!  - Jessica Brett, School Partnership


2015 Stags Leap Viognier: A tart, apricoty Napa Californian white classic, this wine is perfect for April in Massachusetts when it's supposed to be spring but it snows 6 inches instead.  - Yumio Saneyoshi, Trivia Bee Co-Chair2015 Santa Barbara Winery Reserve Chardonnay: Having grown up in southern California, I thought Santa Barbara was the most beautiful place - I hope this wine is just as great!!  - Medha Dave, Corporate Relations

 

ROSÉS

2017 Whispering Angel Cotes de Provence Rose: This rosé should be in everyone’s summer collection! I love this refreshing, drinkable and refined wine with its strawberry and raspberry fruit flavors. I enjoy it most with boiled lobster on Martha’s Vineyard with my family.  - Audra Myerberg, Social Media

2012 Szigeti Pinot Noir Rose Brut: Because sparkling wine is better on the beach of Martha's Vineyard!  - Beth Sager, Donor Relations

 

REDS

2011 Carpinito Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano Riserva: One of Italy's classic red wines, winner of the Silver Oustanding Award at the 2016 International Wine & Spirit Competition. Bring home a bit of Tuscany in this bottle. Saluti!  - Karen Orf, Co-President


2015 La Crema Willamette Valley Pinot Noir: The sophistication, wildness and majesty of the Willammette Valley landscape are reflected beautifully in this Pinot Noir - aromas of violets, star anise, marionberry and Bay leaf lead to brambly fruit flavors framed by coffee bean, dark spice and orange zest.  - Patrice Cleaves, Corporate Relations & Celebration Co-Chair


2014 Yorkville Cellars Rennie Vineyards Carmenere: The best grape story: Carmenere is an ancient grape originally from Bourdeaux, but is now mainly found in Chile because the European vines nearly died out from disease. Enjoy this Carmenere!  - Raquel Esty, School Partnership


2016 Daou Vineyards Pessimist Red Blend, Paso Robles: A Californian full-bodied blend with plenty of fruit notes.  - Riaz Adamjee, Information & Technology


2016 The Prisoner Wine Company: The Prisoner Red Blend: Features enticing aromas of bing cherry, dark chocolate, clove, and roasted fig, goes down smooth and luscious with every sip.  - Kim McCormick, Co-President

2015 Michael David Winery Freakshow Cabernet Sauvignon: The cool label and name aside, this is one of our recent favorites. Full-bodied with cherry and blackberry notes.  - Riaz Adamjee, Information & Technology


2015 Stag's Leap Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon: I wanted to contribute a great, well known red wine that scores well into the 90s - this Cab that present lots of fruit and is exquisitely smooth!  - Janice Litwin, Past President


2015 Ruth's Reach Yardstick Cabernet Sauvignon: From Napa's Goldschmidt Vineyards comes the Yardstick. The 2015 vintage brings back memories of a trip that never was…. someday!  - Lance Conrad, Organizational Development & Celebration Co-Chair
