  • American Gothic Red
    The wine is a dry red blend of premium Californian varietals, with moderate body and typical California fruitiness. Soft enough to drink on its own, yet with enough backbone to go well with a meal. Cabernet Sauvignon makes up most of the blend, so you know that this wine will be hearty and delicious. Food Pairing: beef stew, hamburger, spaghetti, pizza. Or for the adventurous: chitlins, biscuits and gravy, or macaroni!
  • American Gothic White
    The wine is a dry white blend of premium Californian varietals, with typical California fruitiness. Soft enough to drink on its own, yet with enough backbone to go well with a meal. The wine is 100% Lake County Sauvignon Blanc, so it's a steal at this price. It's crisp and smooth and brimming with great fruit flavors, so pick up a bottle or two for Spring.
  • 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
    A rich, smooth release this elegant wine has outstanding length and pervasive earthiness and minerality to capture the full finish one anticipates from a mellowed Cabernet.
  • 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
    With classic Cab intensity and a rich depth of character this reserve is surprisingly fresh for its deep full body. Superb black cherry and spice marked by subtle wisps of floral fruits and herbal undertones this Cab is made to savor.
  • 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Herytage Selection
    Our newest release of Cabernet Sauvignon. A rich structured wine, loaded with berry flavors and vanilla-oak aromas. We think it has a mocha element, but Wine Enthusiast Magazine says this is Milk Chocolate - you decide!
  • California Collection Cabernet Sauvignon
    California Cabernet Sauvignon. Most of the grapes for this wine come from Lodi, which is well respected for the intensity of the Cabernets that grow there. Add to that an affordable price, and we've got ourselves a winner.

    This combination makes for a wine that is not excessively sweet, and bold and rich enough to work as a regular wine with spicy foods, or as something to sip with semi-sweet desserts. Try it with bitter chocolate, which will be enhanced by the texture of this wine, creating a moment to share and to delight.
  • Merica, Dammit!
    Founded in 1976, exactly 200 years after the founding of our nation, Pat Paulsen Vineyards has enjoyed a long history of providing patriotic wines for freedom loving Americans. We hereby issue a Bill of Rights to the wine lover, proclaiming these truths to be self evident: that when in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a person to reach out and grab a truly satisfying wine, the wine to grab shall be this wine. Nowhere else in the world will you find a better way of life, nor a better bottle of wine. Because this is Merica, dammit!
  • 2011 Napa Carneros Pinot Noir

  • 2010 Orange Muscat "Touch of Venus" 500ml
    Orange Muscat produces wines with great floral elements and rich honeysuckle aromas. Although the resulting wines are often much lighter, the grapes take on a vibrant orange color as they ripen in fall, and develop lovely citrus scents of lemons, tangerines and orange blossoms. This is a riper style, which makes for a full-bodied wine that can be enjoyed after dinner with dessert, especially when poured over vanilla ice cream.

As rich as a Port, as nice as dessert, and as fun as you need it to be. Perfect for that after-dinner treat that you or your lover has been waiting for. Try this with chocolate, or chocolate.
