FEATURED POURS


2008 DOMAINE AUCHERE SANCERRE BLANC  OUR PRICE $19.99
100% Sauvignon Blanc
LOIRE VALLEY...Nose combines mostly fruity aromas of citrus and exotic fruits (pineapple, mango) and mineral aromas of flint.  Clean and crisp attack, balanced with a good mellowness.  Persistent, fine and elegant finish.  Great with Frisée salad with goat cheese, Shellfish, Seafood, Smoked salmon, Sole meunière, Tartare of fish, or just by itself!  This has become a solid offering at our store.  You can't beat this wine for the price in Sancerre!
 
MONTHUYS BRUT CHAMPAGNE  OUR PRICE $29.99
30 % Chardonnay 60 % Meunier - 10 % Pinot Noir
CHAMPAGNE, FRANCE...This Cuvée is made in the very best style than can be produced from the magnificent Charly-Sur-Marne area and the region’s riverbanks.  With a pale yellow color, a bouquet of apple, peach and pear.  On the Mouth, this Champagne is balanced and interlaced with vinous aromas and fruit, supported by a good structure.  Pleasing, round, fruity and finally honeyed, this blend is an excellent aperitif and occasion Champagne.  It could be served with Oysters or with a smoked salmon.

2008 DOMAINE CHRISTOPHE CAMU CHABLIS  OUR PRICE $20.99
100% Chardonnay
CHABLIS, FRANCE...Family estate for 6 generations.  Vines planted to only 8 hectares.  Wine is aged on its lees which give it roundness and richness.  A perfect wine to pair with fish, crab or light pasta dishes.

2007 CLEFS DES MURAILLES VACQUEYRAS  OUR PRICE $17.99
70% Grenache and a mix of Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvedre
RHONE...Big concentration of fruits with black berries and red berries aromas.  This wine has some spicy notes as well.  Full body.  Typical Southern Rhone wine.  A great value for Vacqueyras.  Another interesting wine that is one of our most popular reds under $20!

2007 PODERE SAN CRISTOFERO SANGIOVESE "CARANDELLE"  OUR PRICE $21.99
100% Sangiovese
TUSCANY...From a small 13 hectare vineyard in Tuscany's Maremma appellation.  It's pure Sangiovese with great structure, intense and full aromas of violets and cherries.  Soft and long lingering finish.  Get this one while you can.  Robert Parker recently discovered this wine and it's sure to become hard-to-find and higher priced.
"Sweet spices, tobacco and flowers, all which are woven together in a luxuriously elegant fabric." - 90 Points, Wine Advocate
