2005 Diamond Oaks Pinot Noir, Carneros The cold Carneros climate has long been known for producing Pinot Noir of extraordinary quality. This wine begins with enticing aromas of cherry and spice leading to flavors of raspberries and strawberries with cream accentuated by the slightest hint of cedar. This is a satisfying and well-balanced wine. Available by the Bottle $28.00 By the Glass $7.00 The Fish Market's Winekeeper While “The Winekeeper” was making a name in the service industry, The Original Fish Market was one of the first and only restaurants in the area to have a Winekeeper System. The Winekeeper keeps wines fresh as the moment they are uncorked for up to six weeks. The system protects all wines from “turning” by instantly replacing the oxygen in a freshly opened bottle with pure, odorless, tasteless nitrogen gas, thereby eliminating the oxidation process which is damaging to opened wine. Thru this system we are able to offer fifty-two wines by-the-glass. 1001 Liberty Avenue • Pittsburgh, PA 15222 • 1-877-328-3474 • Serving Dinner Until 1 AM Nightly

Wine Reviews
	2005 BV Beauzeaux Red Wine, California There are eight different varietals present in the 2005 Beauzeaux Red Wine, and each requires its own combination of soil, climate and conditions. The Central Coast vineyards produce a striking minerality, while the North Coast vineyards provide dark fruit flavors and a touch of spice. The 2005 vintage began with an unusually wet and cool spring. August brought heat and a cool autumn followed. Harvest was completed just before Thanksgiving, one of the longest harvests on record. Blend: 68% Zinfandel, 21% Syrah, 3% Petite Sirah, 3% Charbono, 2% Lagrein, 1% Valdiguie, 1% Grenache, 1% Tempranillo. Available by the Bottle $27.00
	2005 Blue Monkey Sauvignon Blanc Sonoma County Finely constructed, the lively ’05 Blue Monkey pulls no punches as it sends core fruit flavors and exotic floral aromas onto the palate; finishes well with a pleasing citrus accent of ripe melons and lemons. Available by the Bottle $28.00
	2005 Indaba Shiraz South Africa Full, ripe blackberry fruit aromas and flavors combine with layers of pepper and spice to create a medium-bodied and rich wine. Good tannin structure with oak under tones on the finish. Available by the Bottle $28.00
	2005 Mer Soleil Chardonnay Central Coast, South Africa Mer Soleil Chardonnay is barrel fermented, then aged in French oak barrels, about 40 percent of them new. This is always a riper-style Chardonnay, but it also has lots of zingy acidity, along with flavors of grapefruit, lemon, pear and some creamy vanilla accents. The wine opens with tropical fruit and honeysuckle aromas. Luxurious flavors of crème brulee and even a hint of butter are framed by notes of fine oak and the lively acidity of citrus zest. The mouth-feel is full and lush and brings all the wine’s elements through to a long, persistent finish. Available by the Bottle $93.00
	2006 FreakOut White Whine Napa Valley Winemaker Mike Drash freaked out when he tasted the unique white wine blend of Fruili, Italy, and crafted this exotic blend of Pinot Grigio, Ribolla Gialla, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Treating each varietal separately creates a complex wine with multiple layers of exotic fruit, soft citrus, honey and spice that dance across your senses. Intense aromas of tropical fruit and orange peel combine with rich flavors of dried apricot, spice and toasted nuts to create a lush texture and brisk mouthwatering finish. Blend: 41% Chardonnay, 38% Sauvignon Blanc, 13% Pinot Grigio, 8% Ribolla Gialla Available by the Bottle $44.00
