Bodegas Borsao
Crianza Seleccion 2006
50% Granacha, 25% Tempranillo, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon
$14.99
Parker 89 “The 2006 Crianza Seleccion is purple-colored with a fragrant nose of cedar, spice box, black cherry, and black currant. Smooth-textured, savory, and ripe, it has excellent depth, concentration, and length. It will evolve for 2-3 years and be at its best from 2010 to 2016.”

Travis
Chardonnay 2007
Monterey, Central Coast
Was $16.99, Now $12.98
Parker 90 “These unoaked Chardonnays represent terrific value Even better is the gorgeous 2007 Chardonnay, which possesses more of everything. Fuller-bodied with more fruit, body, freshness, and depth, it, like its older sibling, is best drunk during its first 2-3 years of life.”
Kawarau
Pinot Noir 2006
Otaga, New Zealand
$19.99 Parker 90 “A simple, tight nose of baked black cherries, wild strawberry and sous-bois that could do with more vigour and lift. The palate is full-bodied with saturated tannins, but with good balanced and fine acidity to cut through those chewy black cherry and plum fruits. An ambitious, almost decadent Pinot Noir and it just about pulls it off. Good winemaking at work.”
Paso a Paso

La Mancha

WS 87 and Best Value! “This smooth, medium-bodied white delivers an interesting mix of smoke, bitter orange, blanched almond and kumquat flavors, with lively acidity and a fresh finish. Drink now”.
The Other 2007
Red Blend
Lodi, California
$10.99
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Syrah
Yummy blend out of California. Big fruit but well balanced. Great wine for taking to a party!
Domaine Lafage
Cote Est 2008
Grenache/Chardonnay/Marsanne
$12.99
Parker 90 “Lafage’s 2008 Cote Est (note the slightly different spelling of the name from previous years) comes from Chardonnay, Marsanne, and old Grenache Blanc vines on cobbled soils ear the coast, blended with the fruit of centenarian Grenache Gris vines on Pyrenean schist. The wine is aged in tank on its fine lees and the result is not only irresistibly delicious but truly complex. Orange and lime zest, white pepper, narcissus, fennel, and mint in the nose lead to a juicy, bright palate with musky floral perfume and a shimmering interchange of citrus with wet stone, salt, iodine, and other ineffabel mineral elements. This wil fascinate and refresh in equal measure as well as fiendishl insinuate itself into your culinary regimen over the next 9-12 months, and could also be held a big longer without fear.”
Hubert Lamy
Puligny Montrachet
Les Tremblots 2007
$45.99
“Outstanding”
Burghound 90 “This too is quite cool yet ripe with acacia blossom, orange peel and lemon zest aromas merging into rich, round and quite generous medium-bodied flavors that possess a subtle mineral streak on the sappy and lingering finish. Again, excellent quality at this level and very Puligny in character.”
