Item description: Collection of 6 Californian and Italian wines; each with its own distinctive characteristics to experience.

• 2013 Supper Club Chardonnay (Mendocino County) (valued at $25). A nice light citrus with a pleasant oak finish. Not overly complex, but an easy to drink Chardonnay. Donated by the Bianchi Family.


• 2004 Gundlach Bundschu Merlot (Sonoma County) (valued at $23). This merlot offers aromas and flavors of red plum, cranberry, pomegranate and dusty, dried sage. The smooth entry and broad flavors on the palate are framed by an elegant structure and bright acidity that carries the flavors through a long, lingering finish. Donated by the Fukutome Family.


• 2006 Le Poggette Colli Amerini Rosso Superiore (Umbria) (valued at $19). This ruby red wine is as smooth and roundas the Umbrian hills on which it grows. Its palate texture is rich in character and full of flavor. Donated by Vega Brady-Freeman.


• 2012 Robert Hall Meritage (Paso Robles) (valued at $25). Presents elegant aromas of black currant, cassis and ripe plum, complemented by intriguing earthy notes and cedar. On the palate, the wine shows exceptional depth of flavor with firm but velvety tannins. Donated by Pauline Peele and Gregory Freeman.


• 2012 Vietti Nebbiolo Perbacco (valued at $25). Offers up generous fruit along with menthol, spices and hard candy, showing notable intensity while retaining an essentially mid-weight style. Strong, intense and powerful when young, complex and elegant with the ageing. Donated by Tori Freeman.


• 2014 Copain Tous Ensemble Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley) (valued at $27). The aroma is layered with fresh red fruits, rose petal, and vanilla. The body is redolent of damson plums, red apple skin and Bing cherries, with a silky texture and smooth tannins. Donated by the Foster/Steer Family.
