Poggio alla Badiola 2008

Region: Tuscany, Italy

We have been a huge fan of this wine over the last few years. It always is able to please. Produced with Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, taken mainly from the highest altitude vineyards, it boasts excellent structure and smoothness. A wine with a great personality and versatile at the same time.

$1499

La Griveliere Cotes du Rhone Tete de Cuvee 2009

Region: Rhone Valley, France

Well-balanced with aromas of red fruits and spices with mild hints of vanilla and earth. Rich, full-bodied and round in the mouth. The finish is long with mild tannins.

Proulx Petite Sirah 2008

Region: California

This wine ticks off a bunch of boxes. Intense. Powerful. Balanced. Tasty. Proulx is a label from one of our favorite value winemakers: Kevin Riley. He seems to have the hard to find ability to make a wine that significantly out performs its price!

$1599

D'Oupia Les Heretiques 2009

Region: Southern France

Perenniel value allstar. This may be the best bottle of sub $10 wine in the store.  A blend of Carignan and Syrah, it is burst with smooth full fruit. "A blend of old vine Carignan (some date back almost 100 years) with Syrah. This is a bold, bright wine with clean flavors of cherries, spice and plums. The wine is noteworthy for the label alone, a celestial map of the night sky. The name, Les Heretiques, is an homage to the Cathars, a pacifist Christian group that were massacred in Minervois in 1208." -Importer"

Three Saints Chardonnay 2008

Region: California

Big Staff Favorite! It is no secret that we are not fans of the fat and creamy style of California Chardonnay. Well, the times are changing and the styles are becoming more restrained, fresher, and more balanced.  The Three Saints is impressive with layers of smoke, minerals, citrus and melons, just a hint of oak, and fresh acidity.
