The Candle in the Woods Wine Experience 2

“Eclectic!” “Wow!’

“An amazing collection!” ~ Sam L, American Master Sommelier

Dave Adlard, Chef/Owner/Wine drinker-in-chief of Candle

in the Woods and his wife Lisa have been growing—and more importantly—”taste-testing” their collection since 1994, and it has grown into one of the most impressive

restaurant cellars in the Pacific Northwest.

With over 1500 labels and 4200 bottle, the Candle features one of the broadest, most diverse lists you will ever find,

with many wines and spirits from boutique winemakers and small estates around the globe, each chosen with love and

passion, and it continues to evolve in line with their cuisine’s motto: “Casual Elegance—Elevated.”

We have put a lot of time and love into creating this actual

list for you, and we hope that it will entertain and educate a little as well as open new windows for you in wine.

Our list continues to grow in all areas, but perhaps the areas we shine in the most are Cabernet Sauvignon and the Cab/

Bordeaux Blends, Red Zinfandel, Syrah and, perhaps most of all, in the Port and Dessert wine category. Our “Sticky” list

can stand with any list at almost any restaurant in the USA—we offer more than 140 ports, 50 ice wines and over 200 late harvests and other “stickys,” for your enjoyment—

many of the ports available by the glass!

Paired with the casual elegance of the cuisine on our wonderful menu, it makes for an evening that

you will remember forever! Thanks for sharing our passion!

“I love to cook with wine. Sometimes

I even put it in the food!”

~ W.C Fields

“Let us celebrate

the occasion with

wine and sweet

words!”

~ Plautus

Chef Dave and Lisa

began collecting wine in

California in 1994,

which, as it turns out,

was a good time to

start collecting

California Cabs!

Once they opened

Candle in the Woods in

2002, they began

developing a world-

class list with the goal

of making the Wine

Spectator Award of

Excellence, but more

importantly, to have a

collection that not only

paired well with their

cuisines, but allowed

them to enjoy and

share their passion with

their guests, family and

friends.

Tuscan Pork Tenderloin with port wine demi-

glace over mushroom risotto!... Paired with

our signature champagne cocktail perhaps?

The outstanding family of Inniskillin Ice

Wines!

Lambscicles with potato cake

and prosciutto-wrapped

asparagus and the lovely

Elouan Pinot Noir Rose!

Introducing our new CORAVIN System!

We are so thrilled to introduce our newest member of the family, our Coravin 2 wine system, which al-

lows us to sample tastes and small amounts of wines without having to open (and pay for!) the whole

bottle.

What does this mean for our guests?

Only the chance to try some of the greatest wines in the world without having to have a fortune and a lot

of friends to make it worthwhile!

We have set aside a number of our greatest bottles—think Grange, Lafite, Opus, D’Yquem, Gaja—and will

be making these available by the one ounce pour (or more if you’d like!) and you only pay for what you

drink! How many times have you seen one of the world’s great wines, and just wish you could taste it

someday (I certainly have!)?

Well, now is your chance!

This is the wine tasting opportunity of a lifetime—kind of like the

opportunity to rent and drive that Ferrari without having to buy

the whole thing!

Let us know what you’d like to try!!!

Sherrys by the glass...

“Sherry wines are gaining new ground in the wine world, and it is well deserved to say the least. Sherry has a long history of serving the likes of Christopher Columbus to Shakespeare, and has recently been previewing new spotlights for its stellar value and food-friendly behavior in our modern world of wine.

Getting down to brass tacks, Sherry is a fortified wine, produced in southwest Spain's "Sherry Triangle." The

soil in this region is chalky, limestone based, and provides the perfect conditions for growing the Palomino

and Pedro Ximenez (PX for short) grapes that are used in making the world’s finest Sherries. Once harvested

and fermented, the wines fate is then decided - will it become a Fino (dry), an Oloroso (semi-sweet) or even

an ultra rich Pedro Ximenez (like honey in a glass!)?” ~ From Wine 101

port, a yummy late-harvest, or even a decadent ice wine. With that in mind, we have created a “by-the-

Wine can only be

called Ice Wine, or

Eiswein in Germany, if

the grapes are left on

the vine until hard

frozen—this means 17

degrees F, which

usually means the

grapes are picked at a

moment’s notice, in

the middle of the

night, by a tired, cold

and very excited

group of your best

friends!

A note on Ports…

Port was originally developed as a means to help wine survive the long ocean voyages, and is made by adding in

“brandy” (neutral grain spirits) to the wine relatively early in the fermenting process, resulting in higher alcohol while still

maintaining the sweetness.

“Vintage” port only comes from the best years, and is aged in the bottle, maintaining it’s original “ruby” color. “Tawny”

port is aged in casks, and develops its distinctive color from exposure to the wood and oxygen. Tawny is generally

designated as “10 Year,” or “40 year,” for example, without a specific vintage. There are also other types of port dating,

such as “Colheita,” and “LBV” (Late Bottled Vintage). Because of the high sugar and high alcohol, Port will age well for

many decades in the bottle, and with proper measures, for many months even opened.

To be a “true” Port, the wine must come from the Duoro region around the town of Oporto in Portugal, from a few specific

varietals of grapes. Most nations and wine growers abide by this treaty, and thus you will see “Port-Style,” “American Port

Wine” etc. Many new world growers have also experimented—with some good success—in making other types of “port-

style” wines using non-traditional grapes such as Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and others.

Usually made from Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier or Pinot Noir, for a wine to be officially called “Champagne,” it must come from

the French province of “Champagne,” centered around Epernay. Despite the fact that virtually every country in the world makes

a Sparkling Wine using the “Methode Champagnois,” the only TRUE Champagne comes from Champagne! If you’re from Italy

you’re an Asti or a Prosecco, if you’re from Spain you’re a Cava, but no matter where you’re from, unless you’re from

Champagne, you’re a Sparkling wine! Does that mean your bubbles aren’t just as tasty? Nope! It’s just what your bubbles are

called!

Champagne/Sparkling wine can be White (Blanc), Pink (Rose—and Rose does NOT necessarily mean “sweet!) or even Red, and

can be bone dry, off-dry or even Dessert sweet! There are also a few excellent sparklers made from things like Huckleberry, such

as the Townshend on our list. Whichever way you go, nothing says “Party!” like bubbles!

What are the factors that make up a good wine? What does a sommelier think

about when they’re tasting wine in a blind tasting?

Some of the key factors to remember are Balance, Length, Intensity and

Complexity… then you add in such details as AART: Acid, Alcohol, the sweetness

or Residual sugar and of course, the Tannins.

For most folks that we meet, and for the average dinner guest, we have a bit

simpler scale:

“Do you like it?” “How much, on a scale of 1 to “Oh, my gosh, that was great?”

“Did it pair well with your meal?”

“Did it contribute to making your evening memorable?”

You see, drinking wine with friends, drinking wine with dinner, drinking wine for

special occasions uses different “tasting muscles” than drinking and analyzing

wine as a profession.

We love tasting wine and thinking about the grapes, how it was grown, the

structure etc etc, but when you’re here for dinner, we are more concerned with

when you take that first sip if you smile and say “wow, THAT was great!”

Moscato D’Asti, grown mainly from the Moscato Bianco grape has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years, due to it’s low

alcohol, and light, refreshing qualities! Made in the traditional “Frizzante” style, the wine is normally limited to only 5.5%

alcohol, making it a great luncheon wine, digestif, or aperitif wine with a relaxing dinner! Grown mainly around Piedmont and

Asti, it is making inroads into popular culture, and many modern pop and rap stars have actually mentioned it in their songs!

It’s a great substitute for champagne for lunch or brunch, and pairs well with light cheeses, fruit and berries!

For those who would love to be a part of the party without the alcohol, we are proud to offer these outstanding

alcohol-free choices!

I think a lot of folks don’t think of white wine as “real” wine,

but I think it’s that most people haven’t had the opportunity to

taste some of the amazing offerings out there.

Some people are what they call “ABC” drinkers—”Anything But

Chardonnay,” (and I was one of them, to be honest!), and then I

spent an afternoon at Rulo Winery in Walla Walla, exploring

their several different Chards, which ranged from crisp, fruity,

100% steel chards, to a big, buttery, soft one that almost

melted on my mouth, and I instantly became a fan! Then came

Phelps “Ovation!” Then Conundrum, then Far Niente, then a 30

year old German Riesling, then a Montrachet that I will

remember for a lifetime… Now Lisa and I both love a Riesling,

or a Gewurtz, or a cool Semillon, or a buttery chard, and in the

summer, Moscato has become our go-to!

So pull up a glass and lighten up!

Alcohol Free… $

The 6 most popular white wines…

1) Chardonnay (shar-dun-NAY) Originally

from Burgundy, France. If Cab Sauv is the king of Reds,

Chard is the Kind of Whites!

2) Sauvignon Blanc (So-vin-yon BLAHNK) Originally from Bordeaux. Often blended with Semillon

to make rich, world class wines.

3) Riesling (REES-ling) From the Rhine region in

Germany, like Chard, can age for decades of even cen-

turies, making it perhaps the greatest of all white

grapes. Influenced GREATLY by its terroir.

4) Chenin Blanc (SHEN’N BLAHNK) Loire

Valley, France. Wines made with Chenin have high

acidity and deep gold coloring.

5) Semillon (SEM-ih-YON) Another Bordeaux

grape. The key grape in many sweet wines like Sau-

ternes. Was the most widely planted white grape.

6) Pinot Gris (PEE-no GREE, or PEE-no

GREE zo in Italy and France) Very smooth,

and leaves a silky taste on the palate.

7) Gewurtztraminer (Geh-WURTZ-tra-

meen-ner) Germany and the Alsace. Its fruity tones

make it one of the few wines that pair well with Asian

food. Hardest to pronounce, maybe easiest to drink!

Chardonnay…$-$$$$ “If Cab Sauv is the King of Reds, Chardonnay is the King of

Whites!” In France it is the grape of White Burgundy and

Chablis. Apple is the big flavor, with apricot, lemon and

pear. Is a real “Jekyll and Hyde,” as it truly takes on the

characteristics of the steel or the oak.

If Lisa and I have a favorite white wine, day in and day out, it would be Riesling, especially in the

summer or almost any lunch, no matter what we’re having.

Out for dinner a while ago with friends at a nice local place with a good wine list, I ordered

Riesling, much to the shocked looks of my dinner companions, until they tasted it… It is the staple

of many of the world’s great sweet wines as well, which might explain why I like it so much!

Some Rieslings can last literally decades, such as the Avelsbacher-

Alternberg from the Mosel region in Germany. An amazing wine!

Some of the best—and most famous—wines in the world are blends, both white and red. Where the very cool and

talented wine makers combine 2, 3 or even more different wines in various percentages, trying to get that

“perfect” taste. Some of these blends are VERY closely held secrets, while others are printed proudly on the label!

We LOVE the Jettlynn “Gout du Miel,” BTW… a Grenache Blanc/Muscato etc blend! One of our faves!

Secret recipes or not, we are sure you will find a lot to like in our blends of both colors! Enjoy!

One of California’s finest

wineries is Caymus. I did

a tasting with Chuck

Wagner once, and was

amazed at the connection

he seemed to have with

his land and his wines, as

well as his sense of

humor.

Caymus makes 2 cabs:

the world-famous

“Special Select,” and the

nearly-as-famous “Napa

Cab,” a blend. They also

make one of our favorite

wines—a white blend—

the amazing Conundrum.

Don’t miss out on ANY

chance you have to drink

Caymus, and see if you

can get on their tour and

tasting on your next trip

to Napa!

Muscat/Moscato… $-$$

Lisa’s summertime/easy drink-

ing time… okay, really almost

any time favorite… Moscatos

are cool, crisp, and usually just

sweet enough to be pleasant

without being cloying!

Many folks would call these

“dessert” wines, but many of

the new Muscat/Moscatos

have a nice amount of acidity

that makes them more

refreshing than sweet.

We like all of the ones on this

list, and for the $$ and the

taste, we drink a lot of

Moscato!

Muscat comes in a variety of

“colors” and varietals, ranging

from the quite dry Yellow, and

the sweet Orange and Black

varieties, just to name a few.

Pink does not always mean sweet! Some of these wines are absolutely bone dry, and are, at most, semi-dry! These are wines that revel in

their “pinkness,” without going over to the “D” side (Dessert!). Most blushes and Roses get their color from some very limited time in contact

with the skins—just enough to pick up a bit of color. Enjoy! We both love The Muse,” from James Leigh and the San Sebastian from Florida(!)

Sake is called Japanese “rice wine,” though to be honest, the process is closer to brewing

is cloudy, and carries a hint of sediment. As a note, good Sake is served cold!

Okay, we have a confession… we like fruit wine. No, we love fruit wine. Gone are the days when almost sickly sweet stuff that sold for a

whopping $2/bottle from the gas station was your only option. Can you still get some “fun,” sweet, dessert wines, but now, serious

winemakers are making wonderful, sophisticated wine good enough for almost any occasion out of a wide variety of fruit, and that in-

cludes in the dessert category! These range from austerely dry, to rich and bold, to rich and sweet, and yes, a little bit of “fun” too.

How good are some of these wines? At a recent blind tasting of over 30 wines, by a panel of experienced, “real” wine folks, the winner,

after three rounds of tasting? “Huck,” a huckleberry “Riesling” that wowed all of us, including myself.

As another measure of their improvement, we have actually gone on an overnight pilgrimage to Leavenworth just to taste, rate (okay,

and buy!) a plethora of fruit wines from the outstanding Pasek Cellars. We highly recommend you broaden your horizons, and remem-

ber that apples, huckleberries, pears, mango, marionberry, and yes, even pineapple are not just for juice anymore!

We are first and foremost red wine drinkers… (well, okay… except when we’re drinking something else!). Just FYI,

our list is approximately 72% red. We are very proud that our Wine Experience has so many wines from so many

different wineries and so many different regions from around the world, especially with Reds holding 6 of the top

10 wines in the world, and spots, 1, 2 & 4! (Cab Sauv, Merlot and Tempranillo). We are also very proud that we

have so many price points on our list—you can get a really good bottle for less than $30, or you can pay a LOT for a

special wine that is a “lifetime experience!”

Cabernet Sauvignon (kah-ber-NAY soh-vee-NYAWN)…

Truly the King of grapes! Not only the main grape in so many of the

world’s great wines, it is now the most widely grown grape, taking over

from the Spanish varietal Airens, which dominated for many years. There

are several different styles of Cab, with some being huge, dark and brood-

ing, and others being more elegant, initially approachable and mineral.

Cabs can benefit from cellaring possibly the most of any grape, and time

does seem to smooth out its rough edges!

We have about 200 different Cabs… (trust us when we say that that is a

lot!), and another 160 Cab based Blends... They range in style and in price

amongst other factors. For your convenience, we have divided ours up by

country and region.

In general, the more specific the designation on the label (where is the

wine from?), the more “commitment” went in to it, and, possibly how

much it might cost… In other words, “California” is a very general designa-

tion, meaning the grapes could come from any where in the state. Next is

a specific area, such as North Coast, or Napa Valley. Within a region, there

are also AVAs: recognized growing areas, and then there are specific

vineyards, and even “Blocks” within the vineyard, such as: “Washington,

Columbia Valley, Pasco, Dionysus Vineyard, Block 9.”

We list the general designation (for example: Napa Valley), and a specific

vineyard, if available. Hopefully, we will get around to adding the specific

designation in our next edition! Until then, All Hail the King!

How much is too much to pay for a bottle of wine? Good question. Honest answer: There’s really no an-

swer. Several factors come in to play, including supply and demand, a fair bit of “cult” status, and also

such trivial things like these are the best wines, grown from the best grapes by the best winemakers in

the world… Much like lake front property on Lake Coeur d’ Alene: They’re not making any more of it. If

you’re looking for something very special, something you will remember for a lifetime, then try one of

these gems! You won’t regret it!

Columbia Valley and Walla Walla

have become the second greatest

wine region in the USA after Napa/

Sonoma. Oft called the “Napa of

the North,” Walla Walla is home to

over 100 wineries now, and the

Columbia Valley is one of the

largest prolific growing areas

anywhere.

Several of the top vineyards, such

as “Seven Hills,” Dionysus and H3

(Horse Heaven Hills) have been

mentioned as some of the top

vineyards in the world.

It doesn’t hurt that it is just 3 hours

from us, either, which likely

explains our fondness for Columbia

Valley wines!

Red Blends...

Outside of ports and Ice wines, this may be favorite category. First of all, MANY of the world’s best wines are blends… oh, say,

like Bordeaux (and the American equivalent, “Meritage” (rhymes with “Heritage,” not “Garage,” BTW)), and believe it or not,

even among the “pure” Cabernets, for example, MANY are blended with a small bit of another varietal, such as Merlot or Cab

Franc, which can truly enhance a wine’s character and drinkability. Of the Bordeaux/Meritage blends, thewine must be made

from a blend of at least TWO of the “Bordeaux” varietals: Cab Sauv, Merlot (mer-LOW), Cab Franc (kab-FRAHNK), Petit Verdot

(peTEET ver-DOE), Malbec (MALL-bek) or Carmenere (kar-men-AIR), and no one wine can be more than 90%.

Now of course, there are a TON of other varietals, and combinations, and some wineries that label their wine Cab-Merlot on

purpose, etc etc etc, so we have just put the Cab Sauv based blends together under “Red Blend.” We also have a separate

section for “Syrah/Shiraz” based blends, Zinfandel based blends, and even a few specific Merlot based blends… in total, over

250 blends, so we for sure have something to meet your taste!

Now price wise, blends can be at least as expensive as Cabs, so again, there are plenty of price points to choose from!

For most folks, blends tend to be more approachable and easier to drink than single varietals, and are more easily enjoyed!

The Columbia Valley is making some of the best blends in North

America. There are so many amazing vineyards, and the winemakers

are some of the best anywhere. I think you will be pleasantly

surprised!

“We’ve done winemaker dinners for and with Don

Townshend, and I have to say Don is one of the most

talented wine makers anywhere. His is one of the

few wineries where we can do an entire dinner—

from sparkling to dessert wine and port—all from his

own wines.”

“Good wine is a

necessity of life for

me.”

~ Thomas Jefferson

People say that in Napa, Cabs are King, but if that is

the case, then there is an argument to be made that

the Blends—the “Meritage” wines are, if not the

emperor, at least the queen! I mean, look at the list

of names: Chateau St Jean, Jarvis, Sullivan, Della

Valle, Montelena, Cain, Dominus, Opus, Cardinale,

Harlan, Insignia… You could spend a lifetime

drinking Napa blends, and not ever regret a glass!

Are there other Reds than Cabs?

Seems like a silly question, but listening to some folks—or checking out some wine lists—and you’d think that the red wine

world stopped at “vitis vinifera.”

Contrary to that, there are several other WONDERFUL red varietals that we love, such as Red Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Tem-

peranillo, Shiraz/Syrah, Carmenere, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Sangiovese… and of course, Merlot, the “little brother”

of Cab Sauv. The (admittedly very good) movie “Sideways,” while a theatric gem, did Merlot—and wine drinkers in general—a

huge disservice with the protagonist’s dislike of all things Merlot, and yet Merlot is a wonderful, big, deep wine that is, ironi-

cally, for Paul Giamatti’s character, the main grape behind several of the world’s best, most expensive and hardest to procure

wines, such as Petrus and Le Pin.

We are very happy to have a large number of these outstanding “other” reds on our list that we enjoy and appre-

Bordeaux and France... $-$$$$$

The One, The Only! The world’s first GREAT wine region, and still the standard bearer. Wine

here isn’t a way of life, it IS life! Bordeaux has 287,000 acres of vineyards, 57 appellations,

10,000 wine-producing châteaux and 13,000 grape growers. With an annual production of

approximately 960 million bottles, Bordeaux produces large quantities of everyday wine as

well as some of the most expensive wines in the world. Wine-wise, “Bordeaux” is the region,

and the wines are a blend of the six “Bordeaux” varietals.

We have a selection of both, with some very affordable opportunities to taste some wines from

this most famous of all wine addresses!

Cabernet Franc…$ - $$$

“The Other Cab!” The 3rd most popular of the Bordeaux

varietals, Cab Franc was used primarily in conjunction with

it’s Big Brother Sauv, but has found a growing legion of fans

as a “Stand Alone” wine. Medium bodied, oft-times earthy, it

is another “Big” red,

Red Zinfandel, Primitivo and the Zin Blends…$ - $$$

A few years ago, I was visiting my dear friends George and Betty Starke, two of the smartest, most experienced wine people I

have ever met. George was one of Robert Mondavi’s closest friends, as well as the former winemaker at Napa Cellars, whose

1980 Cab was one of the finest wines I have ever tasted, bar none. I still proudly display the bottle I drank for my 50th

birthday.

Enjoying a glass in the afternoon before dinner in their lovely Calistoga B&B, George handed me a glass of a rich, obviously

well aged red, but wouldn’t tell me what it was. It was a magnificent wine, and at George’s urging, a few of us started to play

“Guess the Wine/Vintage.” After several guesses at Cabs, Merlots etc, with no success, he produced the bottle: A 1978 Napa

Cellars Zin—likely the last bottle in existence. From that moment on, my love affair with red Zinfandel began, and it hasn’t

waned since. I love the huge fruit and almost “jammy” richness, which is almost hedonistic.

Napa does a creditable job with the Zins, but the true, up and comer is the Lodi/Amador County area to the east, where the

temps and soil is now producing some of the finest on the planet.

The modern Zin is believed to have started in Croatia and Italy, where it is called “Primitivo,” and made its way to the USA in

the mid 1800’s. No one knows exactly where the actual name “Zinfandel” comes from, but no matter where, it is one of the

most exciting wines being made now. We are very pleased to offer you a wide selection to choose from and enjoy!

Zins often have higher

alcohol than other red

wines due to the naturally

high sugars in the Zib

grape. I have tasted

“regular” ins with alcohol

well north of 16% - almost

port like—and loved every

sip!

The Moss Roxx Ancient

vines from Lodi is one

of our favorite,

affordable Zins!

There are actually working wineries in all 50

Pinot Noir…$-$$$$

In Oregon, Pinot Noir is almost a way of life—it is one of the greatest Pinot Noir regions in the world.

Pinot is notoriously fickle and difficult to grow, and seemingly “delicate,” compared to its thicker

skinned (literally!) red cousins , but is perfectly suited to Oregon’s cooler, damper climate. The Pinots

on the list encompass a wide variety of styles, but all are sought after by aficionados. Pinot Noir is also

the great wine of Burgundy. Because of the many different climates with Pinot, we have listed them

by state as well as appellation for you, where available.

Contrary to what the names imply, there is NOTHING “Petite” about these wines! Petite Verdot

(pe-TEET ver-DOE) is one of the Bordeaux varietals, and is usually seen in blends, though an

increasing number of winemakers are producing a pure “PV.” Petite Sirah, isn’t related to the regu-

lar “Syrah” or “Shiraz” grape at all, and is a bid, bold, deep mouthful of wine.

“We tasted the 2007

Tolosa just a short time

ago, and it was amazing!

Expecting the 2002 to be

just as good!”

Some people told me they make ice cubes out of left-over wine…

I was confused… What’s left-over wine?!?

Shiraz/Syrah: Australia & International…$-$$$$

Syrah or Shiraz, depending on the part of the world you’re from, is one of the most widely grown—and

respected—red wine varietals. It has depth, power, and a rich earthiness that is most appealing.

If there is a national wine of Australia, Shiraz, as they call it, would be it. Oz boasts perhaps the world’s

most respected Shiraz in the Penfold’s “Grange,” which is always one of the most awarded, highest rat-

ed and most sought after wines in the world.

Shiraz/Syrah also blends well, especially with Cab and Merlot.

There are several outstanding wines on our list besides the Grange, including Isenhower’s “Wild Alfalfa,”

which was rated at 93 points by a major wine critic and sold out immediately… luckily, we had several

bottles safely tucked away… ;)

Australia is perhaps the world leaders in using screw caps on even their premium wines, such as the

Rolf Binder Shiraz-Grenache Blend. The evidence suggests that they really do keep the wine better

longer… if only we could use a cork screw to open them… ;) (JUST kidding! We actually appreciate

them!) Also notice the distinctive shape of the traditional Shiraz/Syrah bottle.

“If one glass of wine is good for you,

just imagine what a bottle could do!”

The Iberian Peninsula! The Grapes of Spain and Portugal!

Tempranillo, Monastrel, Grenache and Touriga…$-$$$$

There are over 600 varieties of grape grown in Spain and Portugal, but in Spain, about 80% of the wine comes from their

“Big 3” grapes, Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache), and Monastrel. In Portugal, where the most famous export is the

lovely Port, they also have a solid and burgeoning still wine industry as well, making some outstanding, smooth Reds!

We have several versions, some are “imports” from the USA or other places, using the traditional grapes.

Sangiovese and Blends…$-$$$

Ah, Sangiovese… even the name speaks Italian! Sangio is the great grape

of Italy, and is the main grape in Chianti, Brunello, Montelpucianno and the

Super-Tuscans… It’s growth is spreading quickly, though, and is being

widely—and successfully, we might add! - grown in the “new” world, in

such places as California. “Divertiti!” (Enjoy!)

More Italian Superstars…$-$$$$

Italy has so many outstanding wines—and varietals—but, like Bordeaux, as they are traditionally named after the region

rather than the grape, we tend to get a bit confused as to what the grape actually is! It would be similar to if we simply

called the wine “Napa Valley,” or Horse Heaven Hills… “ We have tried, as best we can, to give you both the grape and the

region if we can.

No matter where they come from, Italian wines are fantastic, and is perhaps our fastest growing passion in wine! Guest-

chefing in a top Italian restaurant has certainly helped fuel that passion as well! The Barolo, the Gaia Barbaresco etc are

truly amazing! You will love this little visit to Italy, we can assure you!

While there is indeed an definite joy in opening

that “Special” bottle you’ve collected and held for

the special occasion, wine is much more about

fun, family, food, and friendship than about price.

There are MANY great wines on our list, and there

are MANY outstanding wines for a very reasona-

ble price.

We invite people to find wine they enjoy and drink

it… no matter what you’re having, it is always

more important to drink wine you like, than what

someone else says you “should” be drinking!

Above all, enjoy!

The Candle in the Woods Wine Experience 70

Dessert at Candle in the Woods is an event. It is not an afterthought. There is something eminently

civilized about sipping a fine sherry, port or Ice wine with a nibble of cheese after a great meal.

Just as dessert is one of our most important food groups, our dessert wines are one of, if not THE

highlight of our cellar.

Gone are the icky sweet, cheapo wines. Modern dessert wines, are, in many ways, the epitome of

the winemaker’s art, and the commitment to success or failure is total, if you’re making an Ice

Wine and have everything literally “hanging” by a thread. Just as impressive are the Ports, which,

when well-crafted, can age for decades, and some even for centuries.

Besides that, we love them personally, and it has been our passion to build one of the finest dessert

wine collections anywhere, and we think we’ve succeeded, and we hope you will too. These wines

range from “crisp and refreshing” to “Liquid Golden Honey in a Glass!”

No matter what you have for dinner, we have the perfect way to end you evening with us, or

choose one of our dessert flights, and try several! One way or the other, we will change your

opinion of dessert wines forever! (And we’ve included a couple of pictures of some of our desserts

to temp you!

Some highlights…

63 Different Ice Wines

180 Late Harvests

40 “Lite” wines

150 ports, sherrys and fortified wines, some more than 50 years old!

20 Sauternes and Tokaji

And much more!

Let your sweet side come out!

A Note on Sweetness Levels… To help you out, we have given our different groups a “Sweetness Level” (SL) out of 5, with the least sweet of the Dessert

wines, say a moscato, being a “1”, and the sweetest being a “5.”

There are a few “Dry” Dessert wines, like Dry sherries, and we will note those for you. Certain individual wines within a

group may be slightly more or less sweet than others in the group, but it will give you a starting place!

Late Harvest Gewurtztraminer… $-$$. SL: 3

One of our guests once described a taste of a very good Late Harvest as “like sipping sunshine,” and we don’t disagree! To make

a Late Harvest, the grapes are left on the vine until they are barely more than raisins, and then the super ripe juice is lovingly

squeezed. Such famous wines as Sauternes (SAW-turns) and Tokaji are supreme examples of Late Harvests. The best in the world

are affected by “Botryitis,” or “Noble Rot,” which draws the moisture from the grape, concentrating it even more! We have over

180 different ones, so please feel free to sample them all! Late Harvests are not “Heavy,” no worries about getting full!

Sauternes… $-$$$$$ SL: 3-5

There is a substantial argument that Chateau d’Yquem—a white dessert wine, and not

even an Ice Wine - is the greatest wine in the world. Sauternes are from a specific small sub

-appellation of Graves in southern France, and are without a doubt, one of my favorite

wines in the world. Sweet, but with acidity enough to balance them out, rich but not

cloying… these wines will age for more than 100 years(!) and continue to get better! If you

can get your hands on one, you need to, or your wine life is just not going to be complete!

And I’m not kidding. (And we even have a cute Lake Erie entry as well!)

Tokaji… $-$$$$ SL: 0-5

If there is an Old World Late Harvest to rival d’Yquem, it would be the Royal Tokaji from Hungary. No less an authority than

Louis IVX called them “The Wine of the Gods.” The sweetness is measured by how many “Puttonyos” - the baskets used to

collect the grapes— are used to make the one bottle. 6 is the most, with only the “Essencia” comparable to an Ice Wine being

richer. The Furmint is a dry version, similar to a dry sherry. We also have an Australian “cousin,” the Tokay represented.

Vidal Ice Wine… $-$$$$ SL: 4-5

At last we get to my favorite! (okay, maybe port is in there too…). Ice Wine is like Late Harvests on Steroids… the grapes

hang onto the vine until they are absolutely dessicated, and then to top it off, they have to be picked at 17 degrees F or

colder to be considered true Ice Wine! This is why I often say that Ice Wine is the ultimate in the winemaker’s repertoire—

everything is resting on a chance, but if you succeed, the results are nothing short of miraculous! Currently the top two

countries are Canada and Germany, and my particular favorite is the Inniskillin “Plut Vineyard” Vidal, but I could drink

almost any Ice Wine everyday for the rest of my life and I would die happy! They’re not cheap, but they’re worth it!!!

Ice Cider… $$$ SL: 1-3 Very similar to Ice Wine, but made from apple cider! Quebec Canada is the world leader!

Somehow the fitting climax to our collection.

Fortified wines are wines that start as “normal” wines, and somewhere in the fermentation process, brandy or

another spirit is introduced, stopping the fermentation so the sweetness remains, but raising the alcohol level

customarily between 18—20%.

Port is the most famous, but this family also includes Sherrys, Madeira, Angeliqua (Angelica), Marsala and Vin

Santo, and each has their own special technique and grapes that go into the making.

Because of the high sugar and alcohol, these wines will last many many years… it is not uncommon to find ports,

madieras and sherries that are over a century old.

If you have not guessed, we are huge port fans… we have over 100 ports in our collection, and would love to

share them with you… how good are they? In Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of the last century, 3 of the top 10 were

ports!

Read on to find out a bit about these amazing wines!

Madeira… $ SL: 2-3 Brandy is added to the wine again, much like port, but then the wine is aged in hot rooms for several days or

weeks, essentially cooking the wine and giving it the golden smooth taste preferred by connoisseurs. We serve

ours only by the glass, which is the perfect way to enjoy it! This wine will last MANY decades!

Marsala… $-$$$ SL: 2-3 Marsala is an Italian fortified wine that uses a “solera” system that features incremental blending—using a bit of

many different years and casks to get the finished product. It is from around the Italian city of Marsala, and while

it is popular in cooking, it has regained a foothold as a nice after dinner sipper as well! Our De Bartoli is amazing!!

the sun, and the taste is very reminiscent of the fortified members on the list! Our friends at V. Sattui make an

excellent Vin Santo!

Our Chocolate Souffle with caramel Crème

Anglais pairs so well with Ice Wine!

Sherry… $-$$$ SL: 2-4 Sherry is a Spanish fortified wine, much like port, but the main difference is that as it ages in the casks, it is al-

lowed to develop a thick coat of yeast, called “flor,” which helps protect it from oxidization. Sherrys can be abso-

lutely bone dry, all the way to my personal favorite, a PX, or “Pedro Ximinez” that is thick and sweet as anything!

And here we go! If I have an ultimate passion about wine, it is either Ice Wine, but more days than not, I tend

toward Port.

Port is a fortified wine made by adding “Aquardente” (similar to Brandy) to the red wine of the five main

Port grapes.

To be a true port, the wine must be grown and made in the Duoro district, near the town of Oporto, though

many other nations make port-style wine, including from many different grapes, with some great success.

Port comes in a variety of styles, with the main ones being “Vintage,” which means the wines are from a

single vintage, and are aged in the bottle after about 28 months, retaining their ruby color. “Tawny” port is

aged in barrels, and picks up a bit of the tawny color and “nutty” flavor from exposure to the wood.

“Colheitas” are similar to Vintage, but are not quite as high character… Not every year is declared a vintage

year, BTW… only the great wines are Vintage. There are also other rare ports such as “white,” and a

relatively new “Rose” as well.

Port will last for decades or centuries, and is one of the great joys in life once you have experienced them!

We welcome you to try one or several of ours, and let us know what you think!
