Our first Outstanding 2015 Bordeaux Value! But only 7cases in stock!
2015 Clos du Roy, Fronsac Reg $21.99 $17.97
92-93 James Suckling This shows finesse and depth with dark berry and dark chocolate character. Full body, integrated tannins. On it. Barrel Sample: 92-93 Points
RP 92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2015 Clos du Roy has an earthy, briary-scented bouquet with great definition and personality. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, good body and is very well balanced, the finish offering blackberry and bilberry notes with a touch of sea salt. This is a great Fronsac wine in the making - one I look forward to tasting in bottle.
JD 90 Jeb Dunnuck The 2015 Clos Du Roy is made with guidance from Michel Rolland and sports a deep ruby/purple color as well as youthful notes of black cherries, strawberries, spring flowers, and lead pencil. With medium-bodied richness, solid mid-palate concentration, integrated acidity, give this impressive Fronsac a few years in the cellar and drink over the following decade or more. Rating: 90+

2015 is a spectacular vintage for Red Burgundy: Even the simple Bourgogne excel as a result
Classic and powerful: 2015 Faiveley Bourgogne Pinot Noir Reg $25.99 Sale $17.97
91pts James Suckling Bright and fruity with strawberry and orange-peel aromas that follow through to a medium body, bright acidity and a clean finish. Crisp and clean. Excellent Bourgogne red. A beautiful ruby color. This wine has pleasant, fresh, red-fruit aromas on the nose, which we find again on the palate. It has a rich and very ripe substance, with fine and round tannins. This is a very well-structured and pleasing wine. Serve with pork, grilled red meats and creamy cheeses. Bright, with cherry, currant, sweet smoke and spice notes, this red is light and vibrant. Leaves a mouthwatering impression on the finish.
A true representation of the 2015 vintage, this gem is sourced from vineyards spread throughout the terroirs of the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise. Classic red Burgundy here, folks, with a bright citrus-tinged profile and crisp cherry and berry fruit. This is an absolute "must" to experience with food.
Wow the 2015 vintage shines through on this one! Hard to believe it’s a Bourgogne. Has the rich middle of the 2015 vintage, but surprising power and minerality. If I would have to guess more similar to a Nuits St George! Excellent value for the classic Burgundy lover!
Modest nose of garden berries. Soft fruit on the palate. Fresh. Nice young pinot. Great value. A beautiful ruby color. This wine has pleasant, fresh, red-fruit aromas on the nose, which we find again on the palate. It has rich and very ripe substance, with fine round tannins. It’s a very well-structured and pleasing wine.

Soft & Elegant: 2015 Bouchard Bourgogne Pinot Noir Reserve Reg $21.99 Sale $17.97
This is a sensational wine and a superb value in authentically textured and scented red Burgundy. The venerable Bouchard negociant has fashioned a deeply colored, fleshy, and generous 2015 Bourgogne rouge. A bright, translucent ruby color, Bouchard’s 2015 Reserve casts a dazzling bouquet of black raspberries, wild cherries, game, and sandalwood. Packed with fruit yet deft on the palate, the wine’s tangy core of black raspberry fruit fuses with complex suggestions of wood spice, fruitwood smoke, and Burgundian earthiness. Complex and satisfying far beyond its modest price tag, Bouchard’s 2015 Reserve finishes long, pure, and transparent with raspberry, cassis, and cured meat notes backed by savory tannins and vibrant acidity. Enjoy now and over the coming five years

Soft & Elegant: 2016 Bouchard Bourgogne Blanc Reg $21.99 Sale $17.97
The 2016 Bourgogne Blanc: Elegant Burgundy at a great price. is a blend of fruit from Rully, Meursault, and Haut Cotes de Nuit, this delicious Bourgogne Blanc has a nose of white flesh fruits (peach, pear). In the mouth, it expresses its fruity flavors on a smooth structure. A "northern style" with acidity, crispyness and lemon in the leading role. I’m a fan of the White Burgundy (Chardonnay grape) it’s crisp, and certainly lighter than its Oaked kinfolk. Easy mineral taste with well balanced fruit. The finish is dry with a hint of spices.

Forget Pouilly Fuisse! Vire Clesse is the real Value in Macon Chardonnay! Try Me!
2016 Chatenay “Vire Clesse” Terroir Quintaine Reg $24.99 Sale $19.97
The nose unfurls cleanly with acacia, hawthorn, white peaches and apple blossoms. On the palate, the concentrated limestone-grown Chardonnay flavors are seasoned with mouth watering minerality, and the finish goes on forever - with fresh, electrifying acidity, that will preserve the wine and allow it to ripen in a cool cellar for several more years. The vineyards are 100% Chardonnay in the Commune of Quintaine, a special “climat” of Clessé and are over 60 years old Producers like the Janins, are part of the tiny minority of grower-producers in Macon that hand harvest and barrel ferment ( less than 2% of Macon wines are made this way). Their wines are selected and produced according to each terroir. The wines are blended from both tank and barrel fermented wines. The production for this Domaine is only 400 cases

Basically a declassified Sancerre!
Top producer and an excellent value!
2017 Henri bourgeois Petit Bourgeois (sauvignon blanc) Reg $17.99 Sale $14.97
Basically declassified Sancerre: Top Notch producer! Remarkably aromatic with pleasant flower and fruit fragrances recalling the flower of the vine and the fruit of the Sauvignon. On the palate it reveals a freshness and vivacity characteristic of grapes harvested at good maturity. Citrus, apple and gooseberry aromas with hints of passion fruit are often found in this lively and bright wine. Here is an excellent aperitif that is also outstanding with fish, seafood and certain white meats. Enjoy Petit Bourgeois with a halibut steak in lemon butter, a kingfish carpaccio, some grilled white fish or a Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese.

Great Sancerre!
Gunflint, Peach & White Grapefruit!
Another wine that had been traditional summer fare are the powerful fresh Sauvignon Blanc's from the Loire Valley in France. Again the demand Sancerre & Pouilly Fume has exploded and as a very general rule the fresher the better. 2016 was a disaster in Sancerre and many vines were damaged, as a result supplies are quite tight. We have been buying this Andre Neveu Sancerre for as long as I can remember and it is one of the best wines and best values available. Only 20 cases came into the market (we usually bought more than that) and we managed to hog 10 of them that will not be around long. We will hunt for more, but a bird in the hand!

2017 Domaine Andre Neveu Sancerre Le Grand Fricambault Silex Silex Reg $32.99 Sale $27.97
From the sauvignon grape whose vines are planted on the Sancerre hillside, a terroir composed exclusively of Silex. This Chavignol-based estate makes only single vineyard wines, this one from a steep hill laced with "Silex" - the unique quartz and flint soils that give gunflint aromas and lots of cut. It's delicious and fun to drink, with an attractive core of white peach and white grapefruit and a bit of grass with generous, zesty, flint and citrus zest accents. Not quite racy, but plenty of cut. A winner! Vinification is carried out in temperature controlled inox tanks. it shows mineral typicity, and its particular “gun flint” taste over several years. Best served chilled (10-12°C). It goes well with oysters, shellfish, and goat_x0092_s cheese, such as the famous “Crottin de Chavignol”.

2017 Domaine Andre Neveu Sancerre Rose Le Grand Fricambault Silex Reg $29.99 Sale $24.97
Classic Sancerre rosé. Pale salmon-hued with subtle fruit and flinty mineral undertones. This is a clear, pale salmon color wine, a pretty rosé. Delicate red-berry fruit aromas, fresh, subtle raspberries and strawberries, lead into a flavor of tart red berries, very dry, snappy acidity and a crisp, minerally “rainwater” quality in a crisp flavor that adds a touch of Meyer lemon as it lasts and lasts. Made from 100% Pinot Noir at a rational 12.5% alcohol, it’s a very good rosé and a versatile food wine. FOOD MATCH: The winery suggests serving it as an aperitif and with salads, cold cuts and grilled meats. I like dry rosé with moderately spicy Asian fare. It was excellent with a Thai-style green curry with green beans, tofu and fresh garden cilantro.

Fort Ross: Pisoni Winemaker!!!
2013 Fort Ross FRV Pinot Noir Reg $55 Sale $39.97 (limited)
94pts EW: The Fort Ross FRV pinot noir is a rarity from California – elegant, graceful, and varietally correct. The Fort Ross FRV pinot noir ($52, sample, 13.8%) is elegant and, in its elegance, spectacular. It’s not what one expects from California pinot nor, given the excesses of many of the best selling labels. It somehow combines New World freshness with a little Burgundian complexity, so that each part of the wine complements the other and the whole is greater than the parts. It’s balance where balance is too often lacking. Look for forest floor aromas (not too funky), plus dark red fruit and baking spice flavors, and soft, refined tannins. The tannins, as well as the exquisitely judicious use of oak, might be the most impressive achievements. This is a California pinot noir made to express pinot noir from Fort Ross’ Sonoma terroir instead of making it to get 94 points, the soil and the climate be damned.

Highly recommended.
Ready to drink now, and probably won’t age for more than several years.
Enjoy it with anything pinot noir–related, from roast lamb to salmon And given its grace, by itself.

Lush and complex flavors of raspberry, strawberry, black cherry and dark plum with layers of sassafras spice, earth, white mushroom and minerals on the long, persistent finish. It is a showstopper with mouthwatering structure, and balance with a lush mid-palate and controlled tannins.
92pts WW: Showing more density than many Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs, the active, bright, and black-fruited 2013 Fort Ross Symposium exhibits fine and enticing layers on the palate. The wine's deep flavors pair it well with seared lamb chops. (Tasted: August 21, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

About The Mint Julep Cocktail
The Mint Julep is a bourbon cocktail best known for being the signature drink of the Kentucky Derby. But this easy-to-make refresher shouldn’t be reserved for only one day a year. This classic cocktail was created in the southern United States during the 18th century and is still a favorite today.
The Mint Julep is traditionally served in a Highball glass or silver Julep cup over crushed ice and garnished with mint. Since bourbon is the only liquid in the drink, you’ll want to use a high-quality bourbon you know you love.
1⁄4 oz 7.5 ml Raw sugar syrup, 8 Mint leaves 2 oz Bourbon Garnish: Bitters Mint Sprig
How to make The Mint Julep Cocktail: In a Julep cup or rocks glass, lightly muddle the mint and syrup. Add the bourbon and pack tightly with crushed ice. Stir until the cup is frosted on the outside. Top with more crushed ice to form an ice dome and garnish with a few drops of bitters and a mint sprig.
Full of flavor, regularly available on shelves,
and a reasonable price…

Four Roses uses 2 different mashbills and 5 different yeast strains to create 10 unique bourbon recipes. Their standard 100 proof single barrel is always OBSV, and consequently if it is a Four Roses Single Barrel and 100 proof then it must be OBSV (for example their Secretariat Single Barrel release). This mashbill consists of 60% corn, 35% rye, and 5% malted barley. The strain of yeast used is version “V” which is described as being delicate fruit, spicy, and creamy. This bottle came from warehouse PN and is barrel number 39-1C. It’s also interesting to note that Four Roses releases single barrel, barrel proof versions of all 10 of their recipes.
I’m greeted with an incredibly delicate and light nose. A bouquet of soft scents consisting of cork, dried raisins, vanilla, and fresh picked flowers wafts up from the glass. Also a very small amount of alcohol is detected upon first whiff. It’s a nice but incredibly subtle nose. Wow, the palate is not what I expected after such a subtle nose. The most apt description is “Flavor Burst.” Upfront I’m greeted with a heavy dose of rye spice immediately followed by honey, peaches, and subtle hints of brown sugar and light oak. The palate isn’t deep as much as immediate, since you’re bombarded with all of the flavors at once. It coats your tongue ensuring you get a healthy dose of flavor with each sip. Truly a delicious tasting bourbon that makes me want to continuously go back and drink more. This bourbon delivers a long, lingering finish, which has the exact opposite spice effect of the palate. With the palate, you’re greeted with spice upfront, quickly followed by a blast of flavors. With the finish, you’re initially greeted with very little spice, however that changes as my mouth is slowly filled with a delicious spicy heat over a minute or two. This spicy heat then takes another minute to slowly dissipate from my taste buds. Layered in between the rye spice are flavors of leather, old wood, mint, dried raisins, and cherries along with vanilla coated peaches. The length of this finish cannot be understated as it just keeps going and going.
Compared to other single barrels on the market, this one stands out for me due to the large amount of sweetness the palate contains, along with the large amount of rye in the mashbill. This bottle is well-balanced and full of flavor that smacks you around from start to finish. With the higher rye content, the flavor profile is unlike something you’d see coming out of Buffalo Trace or Heaven Hill. I’m usually hesitant to read a distillery’s description of a bottle, however the standard bottling Four Roses OBSV recipe really does live up to its description of “delicate fruit, spicy, and creamy.”
For $47, you’re getting a pretty good value for your money. Four Roses delivers a bottle full of flavor that rewards you for spending your hard-earned money on the bottle. Sure, compared to other Four Roses products, (Four Roses Yellow and Four Roses Small Batch) the Single Barrel line costs more, however it also delivers a much more robust flavor profile. On top of being moderately priced, unlike some of the other single barrels on the market, you can usually find a bottle of the standard Four Roses single barrel all year round.

2015 Roserock (Drouhin Oregon) "Zéphirine" Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

In Oregon, as in Burgundy, the Drouhin Family farms singular, expressive parcels of land. The Roserock Vineyard sits at the southern tip of the Eola-Amity Hills, in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and is marked by volcanic soils, cooler temperatures and an ideal elevation range. Farmed by Philippe Drouhin, Roserock is certified sustainable by LIVE. The Zephirine Pinot Noir is a barrel selection cuvee from the Roserock vineyard, and is a reference expression of the site. Zephirine conveys winemaker Veronique Drouhin’s dedication to elegance and finesse, and will age meaningfully for years to come. The name refers to the Zephirine Drouhin variety of climbing rose, which is known for its fragrance and beauty.
98 points James Suckling : Incredible aromas of chamomile, hibiscus, fruit tea, lavender, dried strawberries, cherries, lemons and light white chocolate. Medium-bodied but with crazily formed tannins that are like velvety strings and are surrounded by vivacious acidity. A phenomenal, awe-inspiring finish. An indisputably unique wine. Drink from 2020.

The wine's well-balanced and graceful style pair it nicely with grilled lamb chops. (Tasted: November 21, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

2016 Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc - Viognier 2016 Reg $13.99 Blitz $9.97
Chenin Blanc has long been the core of this blend and is sourced from the Clarksburg appellation close to the nearby Sacramento River Delta. The Chenin Blanc grapes were harvested at low sugar levels to emphasize bright fruit characteristics in the finished wine. In contrast, the Viognier from Lodi was picked at higher sugar levels, to capture the floral and spicy nature as well as viscosity. After the grapes were crushed, the press wine was blended with the free run juice to increase palate weight. Each variety was inoculated with its own special yeast strain selected to maintain the fruity characters and then underwent a cool fermentation. To retain and highlight the fruit freshness of CB+V, the wine was fermented and aged in 100 percent stainless steel. Pairs well with Grilled Swordfish, Mahi Mahi, Fried Clams, Sweet n' Sour Shrimp, Pad Thai and Curry Dishes

2014 Allegrini 2014 Palazzo della Torre Red (Veronese) Reg $24.99 Blitz $17.97
91pts WE: Aromas of ripe black-skinned fruit and exotic spice are front and center on this delicious red. On the fresh palate, tightly knit, polished tannins carry mouthwatering black cherry, blackberry compote, mocha and cinnamon. Enjoy through 2024. This is one of the wines that has made Allegrini famous throughout the world. The vineyard surrounds Villa della Torre, a splendid masterpiece of Renaissance architecture now owned by the family, and produces a full-bodied red wine that has an ageing potential of at least ten years. The blend is the historic combination of Corvina and Rondinella with the addition of a small quantity of Sangiovese. A small percentage of the harvested grapes are left to dry out until December and then added to the previously vinified fresh grapes. The result is a velvety, well-balanced red wine that proffers mature, pulpy fruit

2016 Allegrini Valpolicella Reg $22.99 Blitz $15.97
90pts WE This is a delicious and inviting red that opens on aromas of ripe dark-skinned berry, baking spice and blue flower. The smooth, juicy palate offers ripe cherry, plum, cinnamon and nutmeg while fresh acidity and supple tannins provide polished support. Drink soon. Editors' Choice Ruby red in color, with purplish-blue highlights, this wine offers up classic qualities of Corvina, the historic grape variety of the appellation. The fragrant nose is filled with red fruit and aromatic herbs, and the wine’s flavors echo the nose, led by prominent notes of cherries with fresh hints of pepper and more herbs. This young wine is distinctly lively and playful on the palate, while maintaining great elegance and finesse.

Critical Acclaim
2015 Argiano Non Confunditur Reg $26.99 Blitz $19.97
JS94 James Suckling This is a rich and racy young red with chocolate, currant and hints of sandalwood. Full body, chewy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Savory and juicy. Cabenret sauvignon, syrah, merlot and a splash of sangiovese. Drink or hold.
RP90+ Robert Parker's Wine Advocate You get amazing value with the 2015 Non Confunditur by the celebrated Argiano estate in Montalcino, Tuscany. The wine is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. It presents a mid-weight approach with bright berry and forest bramble aromas followed by softer tones of tobacco and savory spice. I'd suggest putting a couple of cases of this wine away for those spontaneous and convivial moments when the whole family is crowded around the kitchen.
NC is a wine with a decisive, full-bodied character, smooth tannins and a persistent finish. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese reveals an exciting potency, with the innate gentleness of Merlot creating a bridge between the evident earthiness of Sangiovese, the aromatic blackcurrant flavor of Cabernet and the warm red berries of Syrah. The result is a generous, rounded red wine, destined for short to medium aging, with delicious aromas of currants and generous fruit flavors, versatile enough to develop in greater depth during long months in the bottle.

2016 Renato Ratti Barbera d'Asti Reg $24.99 Blitz $17.97
Wine Spectator 90 points - This red needs air to reveal the pure violet, black cherry and raspberry flavors. Racy and long, with ample structure and a fine finish. Drink now through 2019. 3,500 cases imported. -BS.February/2017
James Suckling 89 points - Fruity, straightforward and chewy with vanilla character. Medium body, fine tannins and a fruit finish
Intense red in the glass with a delicious bouquet of ripe fruit hinting at an undercurrent of pepper spices. Flavorful, pleasing and elegant with good persistence. It's a classic Barbera d'Asti with balance between acidity, tannin and persistent aromas, with a good aging potential. A wine suited for important first courses and red meats. Barbera from the Asti region tends to show a bit more acidity compared to Barbera from Alba. In addition to the added freshness, Barbera d'Asti Battaglione also delivers more pronounced body and structure. This is a centered and complete red wine with fruity succulence followed by dark flavors of blackberry, dark cherry and toasted nut. The wine was aged in neutral barrique. These are the hand-me-down barrels that once housed the winery's Barolo.

An intense straw yellow color with a faint tinge of old rose. Beautifully pure, elegant, floral Pinot Grigio. The bouquet is full and fruity. A touch of almonds and vanilla, a hint of fruit and spice on the palate, a smooth and dry full-bodied white which is particularly harmonious and accessible.
Pairs well with pasta with caramelized onions, cabbage, and smoked ham, duck breast with fennel and currant butter sauce, grilled lobster with creamy chili vinaigrette or gingered fish and watercress soup. Aromas of white peach, flint and hint of banana carry over to the round, ripe palate along with green apple and a note of juicy tangerine. Fresh acidity brightens the creamy flavors and leads to a bright, clean finish.

Midway through the palate there is a surge of coffee bean and chocolate. An excellent value!" The Wine Buyer, 90 Points "The rich, dark color of this wine catches you from the first pour. It exhibits a rich deep burgundy hue with perfect clarity. The aromas are a compendium of zesty black cherries, cola, and toasty cocoa. The first initial sip fills the mouth with sweet anise, black boysenberry, cherry, anise, molasses, and baked blackberry pie, while maintaining absolute dryness and firm, round, yet supple, tannins.

It’s almost Rose season in Minnesota (a shorter season for us than most) and 1000’s of producers are releasing their offerings. You’ll begin to see lengthy lists of offerings from all over the world in every price range. They will also tell you how popular they have become and that the American consumer has finally accepted them as the in consumable. All that is true, but what is not is, all rose’s are not created equal. Great Rose’s are incredible compared to most of what is being peddled out there now. International demand for pink wines shows no sign of abating; if anything, it’s now a year-round thirst. Long-time rosé aficionados know that these wines aren’t just for warm-weather drinking, given their flexibility at the table and their deliciousness on their own. Given the modern eater’s evolving predilection for lighter foods, especially vegetables and seafood, pink wines are obvious pairings, as most examples emphasize vibrancy and clean red fruit and citrus character, often with a steely mineral underpinning. But the best of these wines also have the depth and power to work with the most strongly seasoned, spicy foods, those that might run roughshod over most white wines or be overwhelmed by the tannins of most reds.
Rosés from France’s Provence region have long been the gold standard for the category, and continue to be today. I’m hard-pressed to think of any New World winemaker, for example, who doesn’t cite Provençal Rosé as their model for making their own pink wines. As an example, in the US alone, imports of Provence’s rosés have been on fire of late, jumping by 29% in 2014 (imported Rosé sales in general were up a whopping 41% for the year overall), and the trend is continuing in 2015 That rising popularity can be a double-edged sword because the odds are high that a growing quantity of lower-quality wine will be shipped here and to other Rosé-craving markets to meet demand. Importers with an eye to catching the wave are hard at work finding inexpensive but often shabbily made Rosés that they hope will turn a quick profit. So a little diligence is in order if one wants to drink the good stuff, a task that we hope to simplify in our multi-installment coverage of the category this spring and summer.



The first 2 have beautiful packaging
and a glass enclosure!

2017 Château Puech-Haut - Puech Haut Prestige Rose Reg $21.99 Sale $19.97
Jeb Dunnuck: 91 Points: “The 2017 Prestige Rosé is another beautiful rosé from this estate. Spice, underbrush, cherries, citrus blossom and beautiful minerality all emerge from the glass and it’s rich, yet also fresh and crisp. It's a food rosé to drink over the coming year. It’s a blend of 60/40 Grenache and Cinsault aged in tank."
Puech-Haut Prestige Rose is remarkable because it is the wine that will make that day at the beach or lazy afternoon on the patio more than just an ordinary day because this wine is the definition of perfect Provencal Rose…albeit produced in the Languedoc. Need further convincing? Ok, well, it’s been rated 91-92 points by Wine Advocate for three years running. Yes, it is that fantastic.
Puech Haut is easily one of the top estates in all of southern France. Of course, many of you already know this, as we have been selling the wine for years. For those not “in the know,” I am all to happy to introduce you! In 2000, Gerard Bru sold his business and planted vineyards on the foothills of the Cevennes, an area he knew well because as a little boy he spent his youth there hunting and working with his grandfather in local vineyards. There was not a single vine in the soil until Bru planted one but he was convinced that the terroir, covered in olive trees and wild herbs, would be conducive to spectacular wines.
Sounds romantic, eh? Well, it is… but Monsieur Bru is no dummy… while he understood the land of his youth, he knew he needed help with the wine. So he brought in famed oenologist Michel Rolland, followed by equally renowned Claude Gros and now employs perhaps the most famous southern French winemaker of them all – Phillipe Cambie. Today, Château Puech-Haut has 100 hectares of vines in Saint-Drézéry, a small village (pop. 2,117), located 15 km northeast of Montpellier, in the foothills of the Cevennes. In Provence, a "Puech" means a small hill (or mountain), a "Puech-Haut" is a hill higher than the others. This position, “on a hill higher than the others”, is conducive to exceptional drainage for the vineyards. It also allows the vineyards to receive more of the cooling winds from the Mediterranean Sea to the East.

2017 Domaine Lafage 'Miraflors' Rose 2017 Reg $17.99 Sale $15.97
Jeb Dunnuck 92 “The 2017 Miraflors Rosé is another beauty that's loaded with fresh, crisp, vibrant strawberry and raspberry fruit. Clean, pure, textured and elegant on the palate, with gorgeous purity, it's a rocking rosé that does everything right. The blend is 70% Mourvèdre and 30% Grenache Gris brought up all in tank. Hats off to vigneron Jean-Marc Lafage for another smoking good rosé!“~J.D.
One of our most sought-after rosés is back! This beautiful Mourvedre and Grenache Gris blend offers up aromas of light, wild strawberry and a touch of watermelon rind. Bright notes of minerality balance and round out the aromas. Lively acidity and juicy fruit create a wonderfully refreshing wine. One of the most sought-after winemakers of Europe at the moment, Jean-Marc Lafage, delivers a delightful Rose - Domaine Lafage Miraflors Rose. We're thinking drippingly juicy, ripe cubes of cantaloupe wrapped in savory and a little-bit-salty prosciutto. Trust us winelovers, Monsieur Lafage knows what he's doing, and this Miraflors Rose is the perfect Rose sipper all by itself, or with food. Just pour and watch the smiles appear. Voila!
Named after an old estate located in the heart of Domaine Lafage, Mas Miraflors, the Miraflors Rosé is sourced from old vines of Grenache Gris, nearing 80 years old, planted near the Mediterranean. Added to this is some Mourvedre that Jean-Marc planted here about 15 years ago. This a direct press rosé with the color coming from the skins of the pink Grenache Gris berries, and naturally, from the much darker Mourvedre. It is aged in tank for 4 months before bottling.
Ok. The package. It’s pretty sweet, isn’t it? The shape of the bottle, the color of the wine, heck, and the glass stopper… makes you just want to pop one open and stick a big old straw in it, doesn’t it? I know. Of course, I didn’t do that. No… not me. I don’t have time for straws…


Our first 2017 Tavel has landed
and until last year has been our #1 selling dry rose since, I can remember!
Tavel is an all-Rose appellation on the right bank of the Southern Rhone valley. This offering is among the most medaled from the region at a fraction of the price of its peers!
2017 Lafond, Jean-Pierre & Pascal Tavel Roc-Epine Rosé
Reg Price $21.99 Sale $17.97 (30cs in stock & will sell out fast!)
This is a certified organic rose from France’s only dedicated rose appellation, Tavel. Grown on rocky sand and limestone vineyards, this wine is fermented using indigenous yeasts and aged in stainless steel. 60% Grenache, 10% Cinsault, 5% Syrah, 5% Carignan, 20% Clairette, Picpoul, Bourbolenc and Mourvedre.
The 2017 Lafond Tavel is a lovely wine - fairly full-bodied as Tavel Rosé tends to be, but with nice freshness and very pretty fruit. The aromas are tart cherry and raspberry with citrus peel, peach and rose. The palate is round and supple with cherry and strawberry fruit, with citrus and mineral notes that linger on the long finish with refreshing acidity. Sip this smooth and delicious rosé by itself or serve with Salade Nicoise and grilled foods. On the dark side of pink, this grenache-based entry (with a bit of syrah and carignan and tiny amounts of four other Rhône grapes) — from an appellation that produces only rosé — has an attractive richness and a flavor full of summer berries and peaches. Good food wine.

Great Sancerre! Gunflint, Peach & White Grapefruit! 10 cases only Another wine that had been traditional summer fare are the powerful fresh Sauvignon Blanc's from the Loire Valley in France. Again the demand Sancerre & Pouilly Fume has exploded and as a very general rule the fresher the better. 2016 was a disaster in Sancerre and many vines were damaged, as a result supplies are quite tight. We have been buying this Andre Neveu Sancerre for as long as I can remember and it is one of the best wines and best values available. Only 20 cases came into the market (we usually bought more than that) and we managed to hog 10 of them that will not be around long. We will hunt for more, but a bird in the hand!

THE BRILLIANT 2015 ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON IS A TESTAMENT
TO ORGANIC & BIODYNAMIC FARMING.
CellarTracker Consumer Note: So I have been very intently reading Galloni's 2015 and 2016 report, and I was quite shocked when I read what he had to say about the 2015 Frog's Leap Estate Cabernet. I say "shocked" not in the way you might think, but it really had me thinking this was quite a significant find for the vintage and the current market. What really drew me in was that he said it's not overblown, but expressive of the vintage, and really balanced. Well, he nailed it dead to rights. Furthermore, it has the Rutherford Dust for those that seek it out. It's not pop and pour, and will greatly benefit from aging or decanting. Worth seeking out.
"One of the very finest values in Napa Cabernet"!
With this press will not last in the market long!
2015 Frogs Leap Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon Reg $59.99 Sale $49.97 $579.99cs 12
V94 Vinous The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous wine, not to mention a tremendous value. It is also the kind of wine that is easy to overlook in a universe of turbo-charged Napa Valley Cabernets. But that would be a mistake. The 2015 is dark and ample on the palate, with a bit more textural richness than normal because of the unique conditions of the year. Succulent black cherry, plum, lavender, spice and new leather all flesh out in the glass, but it is the wine's exceptional balance that makes the deepest impression. Even better, this is one of the very finest values in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon readers will come across. Don't miss it.

WineStreets Wine of the Year in 2017
Incredible Wine & Value!!
Only 12/6pks left
WineStreet has a very long history with this Alexander Valley superstar. 10 years ago we sold piles 2002 vintage that customers who have some left are flipping over it yet today. Also unlike most offerings the pricing remains incredibly modest for a wine of this quality and longevity. Last September we purchased 70 some cases of this beauty and sold it through right before the Holidays. This Deal is usually runs once a year, but 3 of our customers asked if we could get anymore, so we called the winery and asked #1 if they had any left and #2 if we could still get the September price. With a little luck the winery was down to their last 50/6pks and wanted to move into the 2013 (which we will offer in the fall). We quickly jumped on the offer and they are now here!

93 Points The Wine Advocate - "A blend of predominately Cabernet Sauvignon (76%) and Merlot (12%) with some Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, the 2012 Cyrus has a deep garnet color and slowly evolving nose of crème de cassis, plum preserves and cedar box with hints of underbrush, pencil lead, cloves and charcoal, plus a waft of bay leaves. The medium-bodied palate delivers tons of muscular fruit with a firm frame of grainy tannins and lively acid, finishing long with plenty of berry preserves, herb and earth layers."
Today, we’re thrilled to present to you the 95 point successor to the worthy 2010, the darkly delicious Alexander Valley Vineyards 2012 “Cyrus” Red Blend. With the highest percentage of Cabernet in the blend we can recall, this exciting wine proudly carries on the tradition of Cyrus excellence, from its rich fruits to its earthy, spiced elegance. Sweet and juicy on the nose, with Bing cherry, raspberry juice, red currant, dried cranberry, vanilla, toasty oak, subtle spice, creme brûlée and chocolate covered cherry. Bold flavors splash onto the palate, with Bing cherry juice, raspberry, young strawberry, mixed spice, cocoa dust, darkly toasted oak, subtle burnt sugar and very subtle cracked peppercorn. As with every past Cyrus, today’s has win numerous awards, leading with a big fat 95 pointer.

THE AUTONOMOUS NATURE OF DANKBOT:
We’ve taken this IPA up a notch with a ton of bitterness and hoppy goodness. With a medium to light malt body, the focus of this beer is hops to truly let them be the hero. A layer of earthy and dank hops on top of bold citrus characters make this beer our hoppiest to date.
THE RETURN VOYAGE OF BANSHEE CUTTER:
Aromas of a light roast with slight characters of citrus and honey roll off the frothing head, leading to a crisp coffee sweetness. The balanced acidity of the coffee blends perfectly with the light malty characters, leading to a brilliantly smooth, latte-like creaminess to the brew. (Available on nitro in the taproom.)
IN THE HALLS OF THE SUNKEN CITY:
The fruity and light spiciness of the beer blends delicately with the grassy herbal characters of the sauvignon blanc grapes, leading to a wonderfully complex and exuberant beer.
AN OBSTRUCTION ON THE TROLL WAY:
Bitter and balanced. A West Coast style IPA. Brilliant bouquet of grapefruit and tropical fruit on the nose with hints of peach and lemon zest
THE GARDEN OF THE HELL CHICKEN PALE ALE & YUZU
A delicately hopped pale ale brewed with Yuzu fruit from Japan, which has notes of both robust grapefruit citrus and mandarin oranges
DON’T FEED THE SPLENDID MOOSE:
Our Northeast Pale Ale is brewed with Pale and Pilsner malt, along with a copious amount of Citra hops that give a super hazy and juicy color to the beer. Bright oranges fall on the nose with a smooth, citrus flavor on the palate. If you close your eyes, you just might think this beer was juiced rather than brewed.

This Cabernet is solid from start to finish! Delicious, with ripe cherry, dusty berry, dark plum, black raspberry and blackberry flavors which are framed by nice tannins and a hint of vanilla and spice. Midway through the palate there is a surge of coffee bean and chocolate. An excellent value!" The Wine Buyer, 90 Points "The rich, dark color of this wine catches you from the first pour. It exhibits a rich deep burgundy hue with perfect clarity. The aromas are a compendium of zesty black cherries, cola, and toasty cocoa. The first initial sip fills the mouth with sweet anise, black boysenberry, cherry, anise, molasses, and baked blackberry pie, while maintaining absolute dryness and firm, round, yet supple, tannins. This delicious rich, full, mouth filling Cabernet is ready to drink now and will continue to age gracefully for the next 6 to 8 years."
