A rather nice mixed bag of wines to offer this morning, if I do say so. The world of wine is well represented below, from rich and gutsy Italian reds to big, booming all-American zinfandel, with several stops in between! * * * * * * * * * 2008 SELLA & MOSCA Cannonau Riserva…

Brunello di Montalcino: Sangiovese’s Sublime Side!
2004 SOLARIA Brunello di Montalcino
$41.95 bottle/ $220.00 six pack/ $400.00 case
Brunello di Montalcino is one of the greatest red wines in the world. Period. No arguments. It is where the distinctive sangiovese grape achieves it peak. There’s a reason the clone of sangiovese used in the vineyards of Brunello is called sangiovese grosso. Nowhere else does it become as complex, character-filled, and flavorsome. This vintage…

He imports almost exclusively small, family-run estates in the south of France and Spain, mainly looking for people who are as committed to their…
Barbera Box, pt. 2
Seems like every E-Special another Barbera finds its way in. You know I love these wines and I know you love these wines. This month there are three that deserve further exploration. All of these showed brilliantly at our recent Barbera flight a few Friday’s ago. Beautiful fruit quality with that classic cherry, spice, smoke,…
2010 Westrey Wine Co. Pinot Noir “Willamette Valley”
2010 Westrey Wine Co. Pinot Noir "Willamette Valley"
$23.95 bottle/ $230.00 case
When Westrey co-owner/winemaker David Autrey stopped by to drop off a few cases of his product the other day I mentioned to him that in my opinion the 2010 Oregon pinot vintage is the best I’ve tasted through since at least 2005, and I had just had his new 2010 Willamette Valley Pinot and it…

2011 CEDRICK BARDIN Sancerre $19.95 btl/ $195.00 case If asked to define “zesty” with a bottle of wine I would probably just hand the questioner a bottle of VINO favorite Cedrick Bardin… [more]
2010 MAISON ROCHE DE BELLENE Bourgogne Pinot Noir “Vieilles Vignes” $20.95 btl/ $205.00 I almost feel sorry for some of our local winemakers when I have a French red burgundy this good in … [more]
Once again I am amazed. How in the world can I possibly be drinking this well and yet paying so little??! It’s not the exchange rate, because we’re still taking a beating. I can’t ex… [more]
