For the Collector:

2005 Joseph Phelps Insignia, California. Insignia, rated 95 pts. by Robert Parker and 92 pts. by Wine Spectator, is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot from selected estate-owned vineyards throughout Napa Valley. Deeply colored, concentrated and layered, with floral, anise, black cherry and graphite aromas, this wine is classically structured with excellent acidity, well- balanced tannins and a mouth-staining, persistent finish. The wine is in need of at least 2-3 years of bottle age and for any seasoned collector, this wine should last for 25-30 years. ($195.99) Buy Now!

2004 Brovia "Rocche dei Brovia" Barolo, Italy. Receiving an outstanding 93 pts. from Robert Parker, Rocche dei Brovia offers perfumed ripe red berries, fresh flowers and spices. This is a poised, feminine Barolo of notable elegance. A touch of sweetness from the French oak lingers on the long finish. This is typically the most accessible of the Brovia single- vineyard Barolos, as it is again in 2004. Look forward to enjoying this elegant wine between 2012-2024. ($86.99) Buy Now!

For the Novice:

2007 Tormaresca Neprica, Italy. A recent selection at a Siena wine dinner, this is a blend of Negroamaro, Primitivo and Cabernet Sauvignon. (Hence the name Ne Pri Ca.) It creates a wine with lush ripe berry notes, cassis, molasses and cola, and delivers a thick texture with succulent smooth tannins and great length. This value-packed red offers layers of raspberry, plum and black cherry fruits on the nose and palate, with light, spicy notes of licorice and a long finish for such an inexpensive wine. More will be coming in this week. ($12.99) Buy Now!

2007 Joel Gott Zinfandel, California. Produced from old- head-trained vines in Lodi and Amador, this wine is intense and well structured with great power, depth and complexity. Fruit is also sourced from the cooler climate of Sonoma County to offer the classic Zinfandel aromatics of pepper and anise. Together, these diverse regions produce a Zinfandel packed with flavors of licorice, plums, Bing cherries and blackberries that also offer a deep, long finish. ($17.99) Buy Now!

For the Romantic:

Gruet Brut Rosé, New Mexico. This nearly garnet colored Rosé, like all of Gruet's non-vintage sparkling wines, is aged for 24 months. It has a lovely, bright floral bouquet with hints of strawberry, raspberry and cherry. On the palate, it is rich and fruity in a dry, Brut style. The flavor of berries continues on the palate, revealing more strawberry, raspberry and cherry. This sparkler is lots of fun and very festive, but production is limited to 5000 cases per year, so don't miss out! ($18.99) Buy Now!

Guy Larmandier Brut Rosé, 1er Cru Champagne, France. Medium pink in color, this Champagne displays aromas of fresh cranberry and blood orange on the nose, with a fine dusting of minerals adding vivacity. The palate gives way to more fleshy strawberry and cranberry flavors that finish with a serious chewy grip and depth. What's more romantic than pink bubbly? ($55.99) Buy Now!
