2010 Chardonnay Classique~ Mendocino
A real beauty! Bright, golden, with a nose of honeysuckle and luscious tropical fruit.

Duck confit and lamb sausage cassoulet.
2009 Pinot Noir Reserve~ Monterey
A glass full of rubies! This Pinot has a bouquet laden with pomegranates, sour cherries, rose petal, orange peel and mulling spices.
Main Course
Braised short ribs with butternut squash puree and Swiss chard.
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon~ Battuello Vineyard St. Helena
From old vines in St. Helena. Reminiscent of briary, dark berries and a hint of charcoal. Tannins are copious, but very smooth. Delicious!
Dessert Course
Flourless peanut butter chocolate cake with salted caramel and candied peanuts. Gluten free!

2012 Topel Wine Tails Calendar Cover Pets
Zakk & Pumpkin
Five years ago, Studio City photographer Jeffrey Bloom brought home a Maltipoo puppy he named “Pumpkin.” His older pet, a rescue cat named Zakk, was not impressed and spurned Pumpkin’s attempts to become friends.
Eventually, Pumpkin’s feminine wiles won out and, over time, the duo has become inseparable. Their friendship is immortalized on the cover of the 2012 Topel Wine Tails Calendar, a benefit for the Healdsburg Animal Shelter.
