Tasting notes
Grand Bateau 2005
The boat which decorates this label is the mythical galleon of the famous Chateau Beychevelle, our sister company, which took part and sponsored the creation of Grand Bateau. Grand Bateau is a harmonious blend of the grape varieties 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged partially in new oak barrels, the wine is rich and round, medium to full-bodied and has luscious ripe red fruit flabors (plums, prunes, cherries...). -Winery

Biodynamic Cabernet

Tasting notes
Ukiah Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
"This is a truly unique Cabernet for the price. Certified Biodynamic and organically farmed, wines of this style do not come this in expensive or this good! Beautifully balanced and elegant, with subtle red fruits and a hint of spice. This is a must try!"

Oregon Pinot Noir

  
Foris Pinot Noir Rogue Valley 2006

Tasting notes
Foris Pinot Noir Rogue Valley 2006
"Dusty aromas of bright red fruits and lavender with a subtle hint of oak. You can almost smell the minerals. Medium to lighter bodied on the palate. Flavors tend towards candied red fruits and stone fruits. Again, a beguiling minerality runs throughout. Subtle oak on the mid-palate. Succulent acidity. Elegant throughout. Just enough ripe, dusty tannins to enhance the complexity of this versatile, food friendly Pinot. Balanced well to drink nicely for the next 1-6 years." -Winery

Our House Albarino

  
Black Pig Albarino 2007

$11.98 on Sale
Tasting notes
Black Pig Albarino 2007
"This is exceptional Albarino. This has just enough fat to match up to the beautifully crisp, vibrant and fresh finish. The fruit flavors are soft and complex, with notes of peach, pear, apple and mango. Notes of flowers, minerals and sea salt cap off the wonderfully dynamic and well made wine. This is definitely a case buy!"

Rioja Bargain

  
Prado Ayala Rioja 2006

$9.98 on Sale
88 IWC
Prado Ayala Rioja 2006
"Ruby-red. Deep cassis and blackberry on the nose, with complicating notes of mocha, herbs and dried flowers. Brighter red fruit flavors offer good clarity and punch, with a bitter botanical herb character building with air. Finishes with bitter chocolate and cherry pit flavors and good length. Drinkers attuned to easygoing, fruity wines may be perplexed by this."

"Also rated 88 Points by Jay Miller, but no tasting notes were given."

Spanish Steal

  
Vi De Nulles Negre 2006

Tasting notes
Vi De Nulles Negre 2006
Near the Mediterranean Sea, in the ancient Spanish wine region of Tarragona, lie the vineyards of Vi De Nulles. Negre de Nulles is made from locally grown grapes, un joven hecho sin roble. Translation -A juicy young wine made without oak. Fermentation begins in traditional cement depositories and finishes in stainless steel. The result? A sexy red loaded with plum, blackberry, and cassis, meant to be drunk in its youth. Negre de Nulles pairs well with pasta, grilled chicken, and roasted vegetables. Serve slightly chilled and drink it now- while you're young.

Must Try

Tasting notes
Bastide Du Claux La Malacare Cotes Du Luberon 2004
"Sylvain Morey, the son of the famed Jean-Marc Morey of Burgundy, is turning out some really incredible wines from the South of France. Terrific cherry, raspberry and cranberry flavors mingle with garrigue, roasted meats and a hint leather. Long on the finish and just a hint of dusty, chalky tannins. Fantastic value!"

Value Chard

  
Novellum Chardonnay 2007

$10.98 on Sale
Tasting notes
Novellum Chardonnay 2007
"Could this be the best $11 Chardonnay ever? Concentrated and dense, with tons of fresh fruit character and minerals. Backed with classic Chardonnay notes of toasty oak, vanilla and butter scotch, this beauty remains balanced, crisp and refreshing too. This is a must try for both Burgundy and California Chardonnay lovers!"

Pizza Night Red

Tasting notes
Il Molino Di Grace Il Volano 2004
"This super culty and incredible producer has turned yet another stunning, top value effort. Mostly Sangiovese, this has great purity of red fruits with just a kiss of plum, but shows great balance of earthy aspects and soft acidity. This is more than your average pizza and pasta wine! 75% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, Cannaiolo Nero, Merlot."

Dry Pinot Grigio

  
Brolo Campo Dei Gelsi Pinot Grigio 2007

Tasting notes
Brolo Campo Dei Gelsi Pinot Grigio 2007
"Pino Grigio grape from a vine Campo dei Gelsi. Dry white wine, light straw color, dry taste. Serve chilled at 8-9 C*, as aperitif, with appetizers, hors d'ouvres and fish dishes. Drink while still young." - Winery

Green Groves Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
An outstanding buy for the money. Clean, rich fruit. Soft yielding tannins. Round and supple with bright cherry and black currant flavors. Long, smooth finish. One of our top values of the year for sure!

Rhone Best Buy

$6.98 on Sale
Tasting notes
Rhone Rebel Gsm 2005
This wine is perhaps the definition of true value. It is almost impossible to find this kind of wine with this much to offer anywhere else in the world in this price point! A wealth of fruit, loads of cherry and black currant that last on and on. Long finish. Tremendous buy by the case!
