"What's your best value in...?" This seems to be the opening line for many conversations in the retail wine world and many other businesses given the current economic conditions and general attitude of most consumers. Wine values can be found at all different price points, varietals and from almost all wine growing regions. This is a great time to be a wine drinker! Many wineries, whloesalers and retailers are offering great discounts on a range of quality wines. Ask our well informed and educated staff for some recommendations that will suit your needs and don't be afraid to branch out. Listed below are a few of our recent favorite values.
Casillero del Diablo Pinot Noir $9.99 Tremendous varietal character that we haven't found in a Pinot Noir even close to this price. Lush fruit and a touch earthiness make this a steal.
Cono Sur Organic Chardonnay $9.99 No oak or malalactic fermentaion give this wine a crisp and vibrant flavor of citrus and slight mineral undertone that leaves you wanting another sip.
Dona Paula Malbec $11.99 Big and ripe but enough tannins to give this wine complexity and length not often found at this price.
Cenit Venta Mazzaron $14.99 Dark, ripe and fruit forward with a hint of mineral and earth make this 100% Tempranillo from the Toro region of Spain a real treat.
Robert Sinskey Carneros Merlot$29.99 A truly excellent Merlot with character and structure lacking in many California Merlot. Reminiscent of St Emillion from a really good vintage.
