2005 Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon, California Aromas of black peppercorn, cedar and blackberries lead in this dark, bold Cab. A wave of juicy blueberries and currants breaks on the palate followed by hints of violets, earth, cloves and cocoa. Supported by solid tannins, the flavor lingers like a long, smooth ride on a perfect wave. This Cabernet crowd pleaser is great at a party with spicy meatballs or strong cheeses, but its equally comfortable with dinner for one or two with steak, lamb, fire-roasted vegetables or hearty lasagna. Gnarly Head Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted using grapes from specially selected vineyards in Napa Valley, Monterey and Lodi. The Napa Cabernet Sauvignon in this wine is from Rutherford, contributing the ripe fruit and earthy notes. Cabernet Franc from Monterey contributes aromatic notes of violets, currants and spices. Lodi delivers juicy fruit and voluptuous body to this wine through Malbec, Merlot and Petite Sirah. The finest California appellations and a selection of Bordeaux grapes create this Gnarly Cab. Available by the Bottle $32 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 Big Yellow Cab Cabernet Sauvignon Mendocino County That classic 1940’s style — bold and romantic, sophisticated but street-savvy — seemed just right for what they put in the bottle, so they put it on the outside, too. Tip a Sip and Enjoy the Ride: This cab carries black fruit aromas of plum and berry, and a whiff of toasty oak mingled with flavors of juicy pomegranate, tangy dried cherry and a light touch of clove spice. The silky smooth finish recalls evenings of deserted, steamy streets and glowing street lamps. With plenty of flavor and character, Big Yellow Cab is the perfect vehicle for any number of fares: grilled T-bone steak, pasta puttanesca, or a hunk of first rate Gouda. Big Yellow is the perfect vehicle for any number of fares. Available by the Bottle $35
