2006 Chateau de Segries Cotes du Rhone,
France. This blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault
and Carignane is richly fruity, peppery and spicy, with
copious black and red fruit flavors. This medium-
bodied wine is best consumed over the next 2-3 and
is a great partner for roasted poultry.
($13.49)
2007 Giraudon Bourgogne Aligote, France.
This wine comes from a small Burgundian producer
named Marcel Giraudon, based just outside of
Chablis. This Aligote is fresh, clean & minerally with
beautifully, pure ripeness of fruit. This is a great
alternative to Chardonnay, while still giving you a
medium-full body. ($13.99).
2006 Nine Stones Shiraz, Barossa Valley,
Australia. Classic and characteristic of Barossa
Valley, this red is big, bold and smooth with layers of
ripe blackberries, dark cherries and luscious
chocolate, mocha and macerated fruit characters.
Definitely one for a cold, fall evening. ($15.99)
2007 Marcato La Barche Soave, Italy.
This single vineyard Soave has a great bouquet of
flowers & white fruits. Delicate on the palate with
orange, apricot & lemon fruit flavors, a fresh acidity &
soft mineral notes, the mouth is round to make the
finish ever so nice. ($16.49)
2005 Conti Zecca Donna Marzia Negramaro, Italy.
Donna Marzia Negramaro, from Italy's Salento
area, is the perfect sipping, sit by the fire wine. Aromas
of ripe blackberry, raspberry and a touch of earthiness
lead to similar flavors on the smooth palate with
additional hints of coffee. This would be great with ribs
and other BBQ items. ($11.99)
2006 Codirosso Chianti, Italy.
The Codirosso Chianti has an intense vinous bouquet
with hints of violets and dark cherry fruit. This is a
classic Italian wine with rustic notes that dovetail well
with cherry and plum flavors. Well balanced and dry,
this Chianti is great with grilled, braised and roasted
meats. ($13.99)
2006 Cerejeiras Red, Estremadura, Portugal.
For a simple, easy drinking soft red that is different yet
great quality for the price, this one is the pick. Made
from the three grapes Castelo, Aragonez and Tinta
Miuda, this medium bodied red offers nice cherry,
raspberry and cinnamon flavors that we think are
irresistible. ($8.99)
2006 Marc Kreydenwiess Andlau Riesling, Alsace,
France. The Kreydenweiss Andlau Riesling is an
extremely delicate, dry and minerally wine. This wine
has been hand crafted in a traditional style and with
only 700 cases produced it is a special wine, perfect
for Thanksgiving. ($24.49)
2007 Domaine Cherrier Sancerre, France.
Citrus aromas with peach notes fill the
nose while on the palate a hint of melon and freshly
cut grass tantalize the mouth. Cool, clean and vibrant
with racy acidity and a nice mineral backbone, this is a
Sauvignon Blanc to enjoy year round. ($22.99)
