Touzot Macon Villages Vieille Vignes 2009 - Jean Touzot's Mâcon-Villages is sourced from one of the more value-oriented regions of Burgundy where the wine is sometimes this inexpensive but rarely this delicious. A textbook example of what Chardonnays from the region offer with a lively bouquet of green apples and flowers and crisp, persistent, juicy melon fruit. Perhaps the perfect all-purpose white wine that pairs particularly well with seafood and poultry dishes. | $13.99* discounted 25% by the case! |

2009 Mourges du Gres Les Gales Dorés Blanc - The 2009 Galets Dores (40% Grenache Blanc, 30% Vermentino, and 30% Roussanne) is one of those naked, fresh, crisp, flowery whites that southern France appears to produce so effortlessly. Light to medium-bodied, with plenty of flowery nectarine, honeyed grapefruit, and lemon zest characteristics, this tangy effort can be enjoyed over the next year.” Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate #190 | $14.99 |

2009 Tegernseerhof T26 Gruner Veltliner; Wachau,
Austria - Martin’s entry level Grüner is better than many producers’
“Reserve” bottlings. Expansive apple fruit with firm white pepper spice, pure
minerality, and a finish which seems to dance in your mouth. Very food
friendly, and pairs equally well with baked ham, roasted turkey or
schnitzel. |

2009 Steininger Young; Kamptal, Austria - Steininger's ‘Young’ is a thirst-quenching blend of Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc and Muskateller fermented in stainless steel to preserve the wine’s fresh fruit characteristics and vibrant acidity.

2009 Hillinger Welschriesling; Burgenland, Austria - Lush, ripe pear, green apple and fresh citrus flavors dominate the palate of this wine, which - despite its name - is of no relation to the Riesling grape. It is fresh and dry on the palate, though full-bodied and fleshy by Welschriesling standards. It makes a refreshing aperitif, and can be served with a variety of light seafood, chicken or pork dishes. | $14.99* discounted 25% by the case! |

|
2009 Strauss "Classic" Pinot Blanc; Styria, Austria - Gustav Strauss employs 100% malolactic fermentation to give this wine rich fruit flavors and a plump mid-palate without the use of oak. The result is a round soft mouthful of apricot and melon fruit, fresh natural acidity and bright lemon zest on the finish. Rich enough for cream sauces and soft aged cheeses, yet crisp enough to serve as an aperitif. | $14.99* discounted 25% by the case! |

Dibon Cava Brut Reserva; Penedes, Spain - "Dibon is new to us, and after tasting this complete, well-made Cava we are happy to make its acquaintance. The nose offers regal yeast and richness, while the palate has complexity to prop up apple, citrus and grapefruit flavors. Solid from front to back, with health and freshness." The Wine Enthusiast, 12/15/08. We concur, and it's one of the best values in Cava on the market. | $10.99 discounted 25% by the case! |

2008 Mencos Rioja Alta; Rioja, Spain - This second label from Conde de Hervias, although not certified, biodynamically produces all of their wines. This 100% Tempranillo Rioja, comes from a parcel of land with vines averaging 35 years of age. The philosophy behind the Mencos label is to produce more modern-styled Riojas that lack the woody, oxidized flavors. This leads to ripe, round flavors on the palate with hints of cherry and violet on the nose. The lack of oak treatment lends a juicy, ripe fruit note to this incredible value |

2009 Font Sarade Cotes du Ventoux; Rhone, France - “The
remarkable 2009 Cotes du Ventoux represents a sleeper selection.
Composed of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache, it exhibits a deep ruby/purple
color as well as considerable black currant and black cherry fruit
intermixed with hints of underlying smoke. Ripe, heady, rich, and
supple, it is much better than what one expects at this price point.” - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, issue #190. |
