Wow! What A Year!

an you believe that 2000 is almost gone! It seems like just yesterday that we were preparing to celebrate the dawning of the New Millennium and the beginning of the 21st Century. Looking back, we realize what a fabulous year this has been for the world of wine.

The release of a multitude of outstanding wines made this a year for collecting as well as for drinking (surely we all do a little of both). The exciting 1997 California red wines (dubbed the "vintage of the century" by the Wine Spectator) were a bit beyond all of our expectations. We are thankful to all of the producers for providing us with so many high quality, delicious and provocative wines.

2001 promises to be another excellent year at the Duke of Bourbon. We will be introducing numerous new wines and several new wineries, hosting a myriad of wine events at the Warner Center Marriott, dinners at Posto, improving our web site and affiliating with the Four Seasons Hotel, Los Angeles at Beverly Hills for an extremely special series of winemaker dinners, each with a unique and alluring twist.

We do want to extend a great big THANKS to all of you, our customers, for helping make 2000 the greatest year in history here at The Duke. From David, Judy, Ron, Mike, Paul, Val and Jon...our warmest wishes for a beautiful holiday season and a healthy, happy 2001.

e are pleased to announce the release of several new Gary Galleron Signature Wines. These wines are beautifully hand-crafted by highly-acclaimed winemaker Gary Galleron, who formerly produced wines at Grace Family Vineyards, Whitehall Lane Winery, Hartwell Vineyards and Vineyard 29. Gary's spectacular wines are produced in micro amounts (most of them in less than 100-case lots) and exhibit an abundance of power and passion. Gary's winemaking personality reminds us of the legends of Martin Ray, who reigned in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains from 1936-1976. He has a knack of extracting all the components he possibly can from the grapes and getting them into his stunning wines.

These wines are very limited. See our selection in the accompanying box.




1999 Kahn Wines
3-packs

(1 of each Cab Frank, Cuvée
Jacques White & Cuvée Jacques Red)

$100.00

Limited-Edition "Cab Frank" -
Featuring Artwork by Frank Sinatra

hat a coup! We're so excited to be one of the few select retailers to offer the KAHN WINERY 1999 CAB FRANK! This limited-edition wine features a self-portrait by the late Frank Sinatra which depicts him as a clown. Kahn Winery partners Andrew Kahn and Christian Gavin created this very delicious and fruity Cabernet Franc in honor of Mr. Sinatra, whose songs have played an important part in their lives. In fact, they played Sinatra albums at all stages of the winemaking process. This project has received the blessing of the Sinatra Family and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Frank Sinatra Foundation, which supports a variety of educational causes.

Kahn Winery, founded in 1996 in Santa Barbara County, produces several other intriguing wines, including the two Rhône blends we have just acquired. 1999 Cuvée Jacques White, a blend of 50% Viognier and 50% Marsanne, has a fruity and floral nose and is a delicious replacement for Chardonnay. 1998 Cuvée Jacques (Red) is a very approachable blend of Grenache, Merlot and Syrah from the Santa Ynez Valley that goes well with any meal, be it Chicken Picatta or Porterhouse Steak. Try these delightful wines now and look for future releases from the dynamic young Kahn duo.

Jarvis 1997 Blending Kit - $250
magine being able to blend the equivalent style of Pétrus, Château Cheval Blanc or even Château Margaux. Well, with the Jarvis 1997 Blending Kit, you can!

Designed by winery owner, William Jarvis, this kit provides you with the same opportunity that a winemaker has to experience the fine art of blending Bordeaux varietals. Enclosed in the kit, you will find a 375ml bottle of all five of the Bordeaux red wine blending varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec) from Jarvis' storied 1997 vintage, two blending cylinders used to perform blending exercises similar to those done by winemakers and a Xyliss Wine Opener. The only thing you will need is a few wine glasses with a capacity of at least 4 ounces each (check out the Riedel Crystal glasses later on this page!).

It also comes with notes regarding each varietal and a sheet with the percentages of each wine that was in the blend of Cheval Blanc, Pétrus, Margaux and Château Mouton-Rothschild, along with the breakdown of the incredible Jarvis 1997 Lake William Bordeaux blend. So you can make a blend of these special wines or just have a great time making your own blend. Can be shipped where permissible.
