Wines we heartily recommend: Little Black Dress Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, aromas of berry and lightly toasted oak, a hint of vanilla, spice and a lush finish. Or their 2012 California Merlot, full of black cherry, notes of cranberry and herbs and a touch of vanilla oak on the finish. The brand is more than looks – it’s about confidence. It’s about knowing you’ve chosen something fantastic, and not having to shout it from the rooftop. And you’ll have options for mom ranging from Chardonnay, Diva Pink Pinot, Diva Red, Moscato, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir. Brilliantly simple at http://www.littleblackdresswines.

And try 2011 Holman Ranch Pinot Noir estate grown in the Carmel Valley, a wine with finesse and deep character. The estate wines of Holman Ranch also include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Rosé of Pinot Noir. Carefully hand-harvested, cold pressed and bottled, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil produced from the fruits of their trees has a delightfully distinctive flavor. http://www.holmanranch.com/winery-vineyard
