Bussola Ripasso Valpolicella 2007

"When Veneto legend Giuseppe Quintarelli was asked years ago to name the region's next superstar, he didn't hesitate: Tommaso Bussola." - Rare Wine web site. A superior wine, Bussola attests it's greatness to the inclusion of intense Corvinone grape.

$24.00 (USD)

Calera Pinot Noir "Central Coast" 2008

Calera uses as many non-interventionist techniques as possible to allow for the fullest expression of the fruit. By California standards, this is a lighter Pinot... smokey and delicious.

$30.00 (USD)

Casanuova delle Cerbaie Rosso di Montalcino 2007

A rich, smooth and intensely structured wine, with persistent aromatic waves of violet and ripe fruit. Aged in new, Slovenian oak. A true powerhouse from a great vintage in Toscana. Incredible match with aged Parmigiano cheese, or rich roasts!

$20.00 (USD)

Domaine du Banneret Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2008

A ruby robe leads to an open nose of spices, cooked red fruits, and touches of cedary oak. On the palate, this wine is well-balanced, with both freshness and power.

$58.00 (USD)

Domaine du Salvard Cheverny 2010

Quaffable, sprightly, and bright, this wine jumps around your tongue like a fiddler's bow on strings.

$16.00 (USD)

Domaine Jacques Prieur Meursault "Clos de Mazeray" 2006

This walled vineyard is located on the outskirts of the town of Meursault. 2006 was a beautiful, classic vintage and a great year for rich, opulent white wines like this one, with a generous palate of fruit and toasty flavors.

$85.00 (USD)

Domaine Le Galantin Bandol Rouge "Le Longue Gard" 2000

Made only in special vintages, this wine is made for "long aging," as the name implies. Made from the oldest parcels on the property with a longer cuvaison than the regular cuvee. This is a huge wine with depth and complexity.

$42.00 (USD)

Durigutti Malbec 2009

Ripe, toasty mocha meets fleshy, dark plum... Yum!

$17.00 (USD)

Frick "Cotes du Dry Creek" 2008

Smells of rich cherry, perfectly ripe strawberry, cedar, opens up like a rose bud. Flavors of black plum, cherry, strawberry, fig and white pepper. Only 123 cases made of this stunner by Bill Frick.

$25.00 (USD)

Giuseppe Quintarelli "Primofiore" 2007

This is the "first press," a young version of the Master's elusive Valpolicella. Consider what you get: a wine from an Italian wine guru, and an impressive bottle for that first barbeque of the year. SO much cooler than a keg! Happy grilling!

$51.00 (USD)
