WINES OF THE MONTH
Each month we will select four wines we believe represent quality and
value in their class. Quantities of these wines may be limited, so we
suggest acting quickly.
September 2010
Santa Ema Reserve Merlot 2007 (Chile)
What can we say about this stupendously well made wine? Perhaps it’s
the flavors of crushed blueberries with notes of chocolate and a dash of
nutmeg. Or is it the fact that we’re holding the $11 sale price for the
fourth year in a row, while the 90 Point ratings keep rolling in? We’ve
builtlasting friendships with this wine! Can your next dinner party do
without it? Reg $12.99 SALE $10.99
Bogle Phantom 2007 (California)
One of the most coveted of all Californian table wines, this
beautiful blend of Petite Sirah and Zinfandel with a tiny percentage of
Mourvedre. The deeply luscious and succulent fruit create a
full-bodied, ruby rich wine that can be enjoyed upon release or can
cellar for a couple or more years. The problem with this Phantom is that
once the band of loyal followers who enjoy it year after year read
this, there may be precious little left for the rest of us. Ten cases is
all we got! $18.99
Dario Montepulciano D’Abruzzo 2008 (Italy)
We’d love to tell you we were the first in the area to discover this
little gem from Italy, but the folks from Harvest Cafe may have beaten
us to it. This wine just screams for almost anything you can serve with
it. Pasta with red sauces, grilled meats, sausage, pizza etc. The wine
just gushes with delicious red fruits! Reg $10.99 SALE $8.99
Bear Flag Soft White
If you try to decipher the label on this wine before you buy it,
you’ll never try this wine! Take our word for it, that’s is a simply
made delightfully pleasing white that you’ll love! (Hey, when did we
ever lead you astray?) Whoever crafted this blend of Muscat, Chardonnay,
Sauvignon Blanc, and French Colombard was clearly just having fun, but
we can all join in the fun! Love the label or hate it, we know you’ll
love what $9 gets you here. There’s also a red version! $8.99
Tohu Sauvignon Blanc 2009 (New Zealand)
We’ve always loved the wines of Tohu and somehow with the appealing
new packaging, the wines almost seem to taste even better! The
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc just bursts from the bottle with unctuous
quantities of tropical fruits highlighted by flavors of passion fruit
and nectarines. Reg $15.99 SALE $12.99
