SUMMER'S ON!
JULY / AUGUST 2010
As you can imagine my daily work consists of tasting wines and trying to find the perfect products to match our cuisine here at the Village California Bistro. When the summer comes around it is always very challenging because our palate really changes so much with the beautiful weather here in California. Although we are enjoying more "lighter" wines during these sunny and warm days, we can still enjoy a nice "big" Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah or Zinfandel. During our SUMMER''S ON! promotion we'll give you an opportunity to taste our version of "Summer Wines", but I've added a few reds just to make sure we don't forget about them ... and they go so well with our steak and chicken menu items.
We have some great wines made from Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and of course the "King of Whites" Chardonnay. Not to be left out though are our 'unusual' white varietals like Albariño, Muscat, Roussanne, Marsanne and Semillon ... give some of these a try and you'll get a different slant on what white wines can bring to the table.
Last but not least, what can be more refreshing on a summer afternoon or evening than a great Rose ... a perfect match with our new summer menu.
Santé...

OUR SPECIAL COLLECTIONS
Gary Pisoni has forever changed the way grapes are grown and wine is made in the Santa Lucia Highlands, about one hour south of here. His “special” French Pinot Noir clones are the most highly prized pinot grapes in California. In addition to his Estate vines, his Garys’ Vineyard with Gary Franscioni, also produces stellar pinot noir and syrah. We’re proud to feature some of our favorite vintner’s expressions of Gary Pisoni’s efforts.

Gary Pisoni’s own clone of Pinot Noir is affectionately called the Pisoni Clone, but it originally was clipped from the most famous Pinot Noir Vineyard in the world—La Tâche, in France’s Vosne-Romanée.
TORBRECK COLLECTION
Winemaker David Powell has fashioned the hottest wines in Australia with Torbreck. Powell utilizes some of the oldest vines in the Barossa Valley. In fact, his Run Rig uses Shiraz grapes from vines as old as 140 years. Whimsically named after places from his days as a woodcutter in Scotland, these old vine wines are masterpieces of the marriage of skill & terrior.
