White Wines

Name		Price
	Acorn Hill Winery Pinot Gris 2006 This crisp, stainless-steel fermented Pinot Gris has a touch of chardonnay and highlights of green apple and lemony citrus, with notes of honeysuckle and hazelnut. Lively acidity surrounds the continuing green apple and citrus on the palate, resulting in a satisfying finish. This is an any-occasion wine for raw and grilled seafood, chilled summer soups and oysters for the winter holiday celebrations.	$14.95
	Acorn Hill Winery Viognier 2006 Classic Viognier characteristics beginning with floral scents, white peach, mango and pineapple harmonizing with just the right balance of acidity and softness from the 35% new French oak. Complex bouquet of a good Viognier is meant for the sweet and savory blend of spices found in Thai food, and some Indian dishes, such as Chicken Tandoori.	$22.95
	Acorn Hill Winery Chardonnay 2006 This 100% Chardonnay drinks just as a Burgundy-style, food friendly wine should. Hints of vanilla amid bright lemony citrus and mineral accent precede a brilliantly balanced mouth feel that has made a good marriage of the acidity with the toasty soft influence of 35% new French oak. Pair with fresh lobster, roast chicken, or a Sunday Brunch omelet.	$19.95

Red Wines

Name		Price
	Acorn Hill Winery Merlot 2006 Our first Merlot has a bit of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc to round out a well-balanced, medium-body wine. The nose exudes bright mixed berry with minty overtones, and the palate emphasizes the strawberry flavors, a lovely roundness and respectable finish. 35% was aged in new French oak for eight months, this wine pairs well with roasted salmon, beef bourguignon (remember to use it in the recipe, too) and summer beef kebobs.	$19.95
	Acorn Hill Winery Cabernet Franc 2006 This is a rich Cabernet Franc with a tinge of Merlot. Flavors of ripe raspberry and blueberry with tobacco touches that create a slightly rustic, yet robust red wine that demands a smoky-grilled steak. The acidity and tannin level tells us that you will enjoy this wine for several years to come.	$21.95
	Acorn Hill Winery "1867" Bordeaux Style Blend 2006 The barn that sits near the entrance to Acorn Hill Winery was built in 1867. It represents the rich history of the 300-acre property, dating back to the 1726 original Land Grant to Michael Holt. Our premium Bordeaux-style blend lends homage to that history and to the recent purchase of the land by the Sweely Family in 2003. Our first release of 1867 is a blend of 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc, aged 12 months in new French Oak. This wine delivers a ripe black cherry and raspberry nose that reveals rich and toasty aromas with a whiff of vanilla. As this wine opens, the elegance of the fruit exposes a fresh, well balanced wine, with a nose that continues to capture a myriad of slightly caramelized candy and spice aromas. Pairs well with a filet mignon in a rich reduction sauce.	$31.95
