Christine Andrew Viognier 2005 — $19.99
In the 1980s, a group of California winemakers started experimenting with growing Rhone Valley grapes; yielding a number of great reds from varieties like Syrah and Grenache. Viognier - the star white grape of the northern Rhone - was, by-and-large, overlooked. Today, though, it offers something new for winedrinkers who are tired of Chardonnay, but like a fulll-bodied, rounded white (without the butter and vanilla flavors of oak-aging). The Christine Andrew has lots of peach, apricot, and tangerine...
Candelaria Cabernet Franc 2006 — $14.99
The Candelaria Cabernet Franc from Chile is medium-bodied, combining fruit notes like black plum and cherry with more exotic touches of roast coffee and even pipe tobacco. It's firm and smooth, with well-balanced tannins, and fast becoming one of the most popular discoveries.
Mataverde Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 — $14.99
It should come as no surprise that Cabernet Sauvignon grows well in Argentina alongside the country’s signature grape, Malbec; after all, the two both originate in that classic French wine region, Bordeaux. While Argentine Malbec tends to sport a spicy side, the country’s Cabernet’s sometimes favor fruity aromas; the Mataverde shows juicy aromas of black plum, blackberry and raspberry, with some earthy touches of graphite. It’s full-bodied, with moderate tannins that balance well with all that fruit...
Home Tasting Party Kit — $19.99
Give a memorable party! You're all set with this easy how-to guide, which contains 22 tasting mats, and 6 bottle wrappers. Just add wine and friends - for a wonderful evening of sampling and fun. Throw your own wine tasting party... or give a fun gift!
Baco Sauvignon Blanc 2008 — $12.99
The Baco Sauvignon Blanc 2008 is from vineyards in the Casablanca Valley of Chile, where the cool breezes of the Pacific Ocean influence and conserve the fresh flavors of the grapes. This Sauvignon Blanc has a light, grassy fragrance, a nose typical of a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, with notes of grapefruit and honeydew on the palate.
Willowdale Sauvignon Blanc 2007 — $15.99
Many wine drinkers love Sauvignon Blanc: its vibrant tart fruit, grass and mineral aromas, crisp texture and refreshing character can be a delight. The Willowdale Sauvignon Blanc is a wine that can satisfy. It’s light and crisp, but smoother than many of its peers, and its fruit and mineral aromas have a great presence without being too aggressive, leaning toward apple, tangerine and melon.
3 Reds for 6 Months — $289.00
Send them the best with this 6 month club featuring 3 great red wines each month. From California to Europe, South America and Australia, this club will introduce them to 18 wonderful wines from small vineyards around the globe.
Merk Pinot Grigio 2005 — $24.99
Friuli, in the northeast of Italy, is considered by many to be the home of the country's best whites - it's cooler than further down the boot. The area's rolling hills create good drainage and sun exposure so grapes ripen well. The Merk Pinot Grigio exemplifies the local style with its aromas of lemon, almond, and minerality; light-bodied and crisp, it's refreshing and a perfect aperitif.
Lapis Luna Romanza Zinfandel 2005 — $18.99
Back before there was Napa or Russian River Valley wines, Lodi was home to some of California's first grapevines. That means old vines today - decades old, in some cases - which make for rich, intense flavors in wine. The "Romanza" is then tempered with some Sangiovese, the grape at the heart of the Italian classic Chianti - it keeps the Zin from getting too heavy, so while the wine is full and lush, it doesn't get cloying. Blackberry, raspberry, and milk chocolate aromas dominate, balanced by a...
Most Popular Wine Gift — $84.95
Elevate an ordinary day to a special day with wine. Let them celebrate with six spectacular wines including a Spanish White, an Argentine Malbec plus a California Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
Stallion Cellars Pinot Noir-2005 Napa Valley, California — $11.99
The floor of Napa Valley is, by-and-large, a bit too warm for Pinot Noir, which favors cooler growing areas. However, there are nooks and crannies around the valley where wind, fog drifting up from the San Francisco Bay, or north-facing slopes can put enough of a chill on things to make this picky grape happy. When that happens, you get a Pinot like this: dark fruit notes like plum, blackberry, and black raspberry, with some spicy touches of cedar and clove. It's full-bodied, but keeps that firm...
6 Reds — $89.95
For their anniversary, send this timeless gift to toast their love. Whether its been a few short years or a few decades, a gift of six international reds will always keep their glasses full. From California, Chile and France, they'll enjoy only the best wines from around the world. And they'll think of your thoughtful gift each time they enjoy a new wine.
Stallion Cellars Pinot Noir 2005 Napa Valley, California — $11.99
The floor of Napa Valley is, by-and-large, a bit too warm for Pinot Noir, which favors cooler growing areas. However, there are nooks and crannies around the valley where wind, fog drifting up from the San Francisco Bay, or north-facing slopes can put enough of a chill on things to make this picky grape happy. When that happens, you get a Pinot like this: dark fruit notes like plum, blackberry, and black raspberry, with some spicy touches of cedar and clove. It's full-bodied, but keeps that firm...
Red Lava Vineyards - Red Lava Syrah Reserve 2004 — $24.99
Serve the Red Lava Reserve Syrah with cheesesteak sandwiches, burgers, or other grilled meats – sausages, barbecued chicken, or even ribs. If you prefer cheese, look for smoked Gouda, Manchego, or Provolone.
Bouchard Aîné Chardonnay 2007 — $13.99
The Bouchard family has been making wine in Burgundy for more than 250 years, much of it as a negociant – a wine merchant who buys wines from various growers and blends them to create a quality wine. That experience means they have a good eye for remarkable vineyards, which eventually drew them to the Vin Pays d’Oc region of Provence. Working with a grape they knew well from Burgundy (All of Burgundy’s most famous whites are made from Chardonnay), they’ve created a ripe, medium-bodied wine with classic...

Louis Bernard Côtes du Luberon 2006 — $12.99
Many different grape varieties are grown here and then blended together, with Syrah and Grenache dominating. The Louis Bernard adds a touch of Carignane to those two, making for a medium-bodied wine with a light meaty character, wrapped in fruity notes of raspberry and cherry and finished with a light, peppery spice. Its tannins are firm and dry.
Castellblanch Cava Brut Zero Reserva — $15.99
Cava is the Spanish answer to Champagne and is one of the great values in the world of sparkling wine. Castellblanch makes their sparklers from three grapes indigenous to the country and blends them carefully to harmonize flavor, crispness, and body. The Brut Zero pops out with a refreshing blend of apple, pear, and citrus aromas that carry through from the nose to the finish.
Ledgewood Creek Picnique Chardonnay-2004 Napa Valley, California — $10.49
Suisun Valley is one of California's smaller winegrowing areas, but has a history of growing excellent winegrapes that dates back to the 1800s. Lying at the southeast corner of Napa, it benefits from the same sunny weather as well as from a cool breeze off the San Francisco Bay, which helps prevent heat spikes so the grapes ripen evenly. The Ledgewood Creek is a strong example of what the area is capable of: melon and tropical fruit aromas, well-balanced with touches of toast and butter. It's medium...
Livingston Moffett, Stanley's Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 1995 — $69.00
Cabernet Sauvignon, the great grape of Bordeaux, has found its equal in Napa Valley’s Rutherford Bench area. Here, in the hands of the Livingston family, the grape reaches its pinnacle of expression and is capable of ageing for decades, as witnessed by this heavenly wine from the outstanding 1995 vintage. This wine has been carefully cellared for the past 13 years, allowing its youthful fruit to develop a degree of complexity of flavor and aroma other wines can only dream of. Look for cassis,...
Monthly Wine Club - Send a gift of 3 Red and White Wines for 6 Months — $289.00
The ultimate gift for any wine lover - 18 bottles of great wine delivered to their door over 6 months. Each month they will receive 2 reds and 1 white that have been hand selected by our experts and approved by consumer tasting panels.
Dancing River Chardonnay 2006 — $9.99
Some grapes like extremes, others like Chardonnay...not so much. It can take heat during the day, as long as it has a chance to cool off at night - fog, high elevations, cooling breezes can all do the trick. It's these kinds of conditions that ripened the grapes in the Dancing River Chardonnay, making it rich but not flabby, aromatic but focused. It gracefully layers tropical fruit notes of pineapple and mango with tarter notes of quince and pear. Then oak-aging steps in to soften the mouthfeel and...
Liberty Rock Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 — $14.99
The Liberty Rock Cabernet is a welcome companion at the table, bringing out the best of the dishes it's paired with and not tiring the palate. It’s a lighter Cab, making it very versatile and elegant. You'll note dark berry aromas along with notes of clove and smoke. Its tannins are well-balanced, dry and smooth.
Madison Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 — $29.99
To pay homage to their hometown, Margie and Jon Korecki named their vineyard, founded in 2000, after their beloved Madison, Connecticut. Since then they've been hard at work producing Bordeaux and Rhone varietals in their new hometown - Paso Robles, California. One such product is the Madison Cellars Cabernet. A small, limited production of only 365 cases.
Foggy Ridge Merlot 2006 — $13.99
Give your Merlot a warm growing season, with soils that retain the right amount of moisture. Control your yields – that is, don’t let an individual vine produce too many grapes; otherwise the flavors get diluted and washed out. Be careful with oak-aging; give it enough to add some spice and structure, but not so much that it reeks of sawdust. And your end result is a wine like the Foggy Ridge Merlot: medium-bodied, with lots of ripe fruit – dark cherry, blackberry, black plums – and well-balanced...
Finca El Retiro Barrica Malbec 2006 — $13.50
Finca El Retiro was in on the move toward quality from the beginning, and their Malbec shows what the excitement is all about: it's full-bodied, with lots of dark fruit aromas such as blackberry and black cherry counterbalanced by a touch of smokiness.
Dancing River Chardonnay 2007 Clarksburg, CA — $17.99
Lovely, ripe melon and guava aromas lead to a full, round buttery palate. Not an oaky Chardonnay, but one bursting with ripe, sunny, Californian fruit. While Clarksburg may not be as familiar as Napa, it is known for producing perfect fruit from the Sacramento Valley cooled with fog from San Francisco bay, which helps the grapes retain their freshness and natural acidity.
Potter's Hill Chardonnay 2007 — $14.99
Chardonnays often fall into extremes, either rich and buttery or light and crisp. Finding a balance between the two means a lot of work for the winemaker, but the Potter’s Hill shows why it’s worth the pay-off. Medium-bodied, it offers some fruity notes of pear and fig alongside touches of honey, toast and almond. It’s refreshing, but not lightweight when it comes to flavor and body.
Stallion Cellars Syrah 2006 — $16.99
Syrah is one of the most flexible winegrapes; while Pinot Noir needs a cool climate, and Cabernet Sauvignon needs warmth, Syrah can prosper in a variety of climates. Sonoma Valley falls in the middle, not too cool, and not too hot, and that means that the Stallion Cellars Syrah gets the best of those extremes. Cool nights promote the meat, spice, and mocha aromas that make Syrah so distinctive, while the warm, sunny days make it ripe and round, with moderate tannins and good length.
Ojos Verdes Malbec 2008 — $14.99
Like most wine regions, Mendoza is not uniform, and winegrowers are starting to discover the subtle differences that define the different valleys and slopes of the region. The Ojos Verdes Malbec, for example, comes from the Alto Agrelo area; it’s a bit cooler there than in other parts of Mendoza, and that coolness means the grapes ripen slowly and evenly, which is ideal for intense, well-developed flavors in the wine.
Potter's Hill Chardonnay 2007 Lodi, California — $14.99
Chardonnays often fall into extremes, either rich and buttery or light and crisp. Finding a balance between the two means a lot of work for the winemaker, but the Potter’s Hill shows why it’s worth the pay-off. Medium-bodied, it offers some fruity notes of pear and fig alongside touches of honey, toast and almond. It’s refreshing, but not lightweight when it comes to flavor and body.
Buy Wine Online - Our most popular wines in one great pack — $84.95
Elevate an ordinary day to a special day with wine. Let them celebrate with six spectacular wines including a Spanish White, an Argentine Malbec plus a California Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.

With a career spanning six decades, the longest in professional sports, Mr. Hockey had a career like no other with 26 seasons, 4 Stanley Cups, 23 All-Star appearances, 6 Art Ross scoring titles and 6 league MVP awards.
Twisted Oak Syrah 2004 — $24.99
Calaveras County was an important destination during the Gold Rush, and those miners needed something to drink. This lead to some of the state’s first vineyards. The gold ran out, but the wines have lived on. It’s a warm area, lending itself to full-bodied reds like this Syrah. Round, rich and smooth, it’s got plenty of dark berry notes leavened by a touch of chocolate.
Ledgewood Creek Sauvignon Blanc 2005 — $15.99
We often think of Sauvignon Blanc as a summer wine, light and thirst-quenching. However, there are some that have the heft and weight to work well in the cooler months, and the Ledgewood Creek is one of them. Full-bodied, its fruit aromas lean toward mango and lemon and are rounded out by touches of vanilla and a flinty smokiness. If you normally think Sauvignon Blanc is too sharp or light for you, this is one to try.
Bobby Hull 2007 Chardonnay — $14.99
Nicknamed “The Golden Jet” for his blond hair and blazing speed, Bobby Hull, the Chicago Blackhawks’ explosive scoring left winger, is one of hockey’s all-time greats. In 1961, Bobby led the Blackhawks to their first Stanley Cup in 23 years and was a 12-time All-Star, 2-time MVP and 3-time scoring leader over 17 NHL seasons.

These royal reds are the best of their lands. With full, rich flavors, you'll love to explore the world of wine with unique reds from around the world. Try the hearty California Red Blend, the smooth Chilean Pinot Noir, the bold Argentine Cabernet Sauvignon, plus 3 more stately, international reds.
Siqueira Chardonnay 2005 Clarksburg, CA — $14.99
Aromatically, Chardonnay is rarely as expressive as, for example Sauvignon Blanc, but when it nestles into a warm growing area like Clarksburg and is treated well in the vineyard, it can come out of its shell. When that happens, fruit appears; often exuberant, tropical fruit aromas like the pineapple, mango and peach notes found in the Siqueira Chardonnay. When the fruit is that forward, oak-aging rounds it out, lending to a buttery and creamy texture, while still letting the grapes speak for themselves...
Big Mouth Red 2005 - Australian Wine Blend — $13.49
The Big Mouth Red is made with 95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier. While it may seem strange to mix red and white grapes, it’s actually an old tradition, going back to the northern Rhône Valley – the homeland of Shiraz and Viognier. The Viognier softens the Shiraz, adding floral touches and rounding out the mouthfeel of the wine.
Baco Gran Reserva Pinot Noir 2006 — $14.99
The Baco Gran Reserva Pinot Noir demonstrates the results, with red cherry and raspberry notes complemented by a touch of musky spice. Medium-bodied, it starts to show some earthy notes on the palate, and even a touch of smokiness on the finish; its tannins are light and smooth. The Baco Pinot has been voted a cocktail party favorite; an absolute crowd pleaser.
Mike Richter 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon — $14.99
A lifelong Ranger notorious for playing well in big games, Mike Richter is best known for his outstanding play during the 1994 Stanley Cup run that ended 54 years of heartache. Mike’s exceptional goaltending skills kept his teams alive through 14 seasons and he still holds club records for games played (666), wins (301) and wins in a season (42).

Laura Zahtila Chardonnay 2006 Napa Valley, California — $21.99
Laura Zahtila is one of a handful of women winery owners. After making her way in the high-tech industry, her long-time love for wine brought her to Napa Valley, where she set up shop among the country's most famous vineyards. She has focused on Napa's most famous grapes - Chardonnay, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Laurent Miquel Nord Sud Viognier 2007 — $19.99
Warm and sunny southern France can be great for winegrowing, as long as the grapes don’t get too much sun. Laurent Miquel has named this Viognier after their solution for getting just the right amount of sunlight: planting the vines in rows that run north-south. That way the grapes get the ripening effects of the morning sun in the east and the late afternoon sun in the west, but are protected by the canopy and vines from the intense midday exposure.
Red Jewels 6 Reds — $89.95
For their anniversary, send this timeless gift to toast their love. Whether its been a few short years or a few decades, a gift of six international reds will always keep their glasses full. From California, Chile and France, they'll enjoy only the best wines from around the world. And they'll think of your thoughtful gift each time they enjoy a new wine.
Las Almas Chardonnay-2006 — $10.49
The Casablanca Valley, north of the capital, Santiago, works like a vacuum, sucking in the cool air of the Pacific Ocean. For a long time Chilean winegrowers ignored the region, assuming it was too cool to ripen grapes for quality wines. Some experiments in the 1980s proved otherwise, and the region went on to establish itself as South America’s best source for elegant, complex white wines. Chardonnay does particularly well there, developing rich tropical fruit aromas without becoming fat and cloying...
Pat LaFontaine 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon — $14.99
With 15 seasons, 5 All-Star appearances and 6 consecutive seasons with 40-plus goals, Pat is considered one of the greatest American-born hockey players to ever play the game. Remembered for the “Easter Epic” scoring the game and series-winning goal in the Islanders’ 1987 playoff run, Pat became the third American with 1,000 career points in the NHL.
Baco Grand Reserva Pinot Noir 2007 — $15.99
While Chile certainly has its own style of wine, they sometimes seem to look to California for trends and inspiration. And now Pinot Noir is making a strong showing. It’s not all about fashion, though; the trick for good Pinot is finding the right, cooler climate vineyards. The Baco Gran Reserva Pinot Noir demonstrates the results, with red cherry and raspberry notes complemented by a touch of musky spice. Medium-bodied, it starts to show some earthy notes on the palate, and even a touch of smokiness...
Baco Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 — $14.99
The Maule Valley is Chile’s oldest wine growing region and Cabernet Sauvignon is its most successful grape. The area gets more rainfall than you’d usually want for wine grapes but the regions volcanic soils drain well, so the vines dig deep for water and minerals, making for strong, concentrated flavors in the wine. The Baco Gran Reserva shows off Cabernet’s classic blackcurrant and blackberry aromas, with touches of the chocolate and coffee notes that often characterize South American reds; a touch...
Winery Classic Wine Basket - The Perfect Gift — $99.95
From wine to treats, this wine gift basket features the best of wine country and beyond. From the classic California Merlots and Chardonnay, to the rich chocolates and cheese, your recipient will be delighted by the fantastic presentation to the delicious treats.
The Light Whites 6 Whites — $89.95
Compare a Semillon-Chardonnay blend from Australia to a Chilean Chardonnay or how about a French Viognier to a lighter, crisp French Chardonnay - taste, compare, find new favorites. You won't run out of impressive wines to serve.
Foggy Ridge Merlot 2005 — $10.99
Merlot has gotten a bad rap. Critics complain it's too easy to grow, too soft and fruity, etc. And those things can be true. But give it a warm growing season, soils that retain the right amount of moisture, control your yields and use oak-aging just enough to add some spice and structure. The end result is the Foggy Ridge Merlot. Medium-bodied with ripe fruit - dark cherry, blackberry, black plums - that's offset by a hint of sandalwood and anise. Smooth, yet clean, with a balanced finish.
Argos Albariño 2007 — $24.99
The northwest corner of Spain, just above Portugal, is green country, with granite hills and small fjords, called "rias baixas" ("low inlets") in Gallego, a local language. It's also home to Spain’s most distinctive white wine grape, Albariño. It makes a deliciously crisp wine and is remarkable for its ability to combine fruity and minerally notes. The Argos exploits that talent, with pear, apricot and lemon aromas living cheek-by-jowl with refreshing mineral and brioche touches. It’s medium-bodied...
Lapis Luna Petit Verdot 2005 — $19.99
Petit Verdot: always the bridesmaid, never the bride. The grape has a long history and has played a part in some of the world’s best Bordeaux blends, but since it rarely appears on its own, it’s never gotten the name recognition of its compatriots Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. It’s no wilting flower! The “petit” refers to the size of the grapes, not the character of the wine. In fact, those small grapes make for lots of intensity and power in the bottle.
Crimson Knights — $199.95
The 12 knights can finally join you at your table. Elite red wines come together in this special wine pack to prepare you for all royal visitors and company. Five different countries unite to give you a wide range for your red of choice. A supreme pack for king-like feasts - the red wine lover will be pleased!

Taste the flavors that have put California on the wine map. From the Sonoma Valley to the coast of Malibu, the California sunshine consistently produces world-class wines. Try six delicious varietals, from small family-owned vineyards, like Zinfandel, Petit Verdot, Carignane and more.
Carbó Semi-Seco Cava — $14.99
When you live in a warm climate like Spain’s, you learn to appreciate how refreshing a glass of sparkling wine can be. Perhaps that’s why Spain has had such success with Cava; it’s often less serious than Champagne, but still superbly festive, at everyday rather than special occasion prices.
Moselland Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling 2006 — $18.99
The Mosel River is the most northerly of Germany’s wine regions, so it’s quite cool area; that makes for light-bodied, elegant wines with high acidity which winemakers generally leaven with a slight sweetness. The picturesque village of Piesport lies on the north side of a bend in the river, so its vineyards, of which Goldtröpchen (“golden droplets”) is the most famous, form a natural amphitheater, concentrating the sunlight on the grapevines to develop lots of flavor and complexity in the wines.
Richland Chardonnay 2008 — $10.99
The Richland Chardonnay shows what can be gained from this approach: a refreshing interplay of fruit aromas – pear, mango, white peach and a dash of lemon – with just a hint of vanilla and white chocolate from the wood. It’s full-bodied and firm, but carries itself gracefully.
Zapadorado Verdejo 2007 — $17.99
Fantastic-but-neglected Spanish red wine regions are being rediscovered all the time; now the white wines are getting in on the act, too. Rueda lies on the southern banks of the Duero River which runs through Portugal’s fabled Port vineyards on one side, to Spain’s red wine blockbuster area, Ribera del Duero, on the other. In addition to its geographical pedigree, Rueda also has its own, indigenous grape, Verdejo, which gives Sauvignon Blanc a run for its money when it comes to crispness, aroma,...
Christine Andrew Viognier 2005 California — $19.99
In the 1980s, a group of California winemakers started experimenting with growing Rhone Valley grapes; yielding a number of great reds from varieties like Syrah and Grenache. Viognier - the star white grape of the northern Rhone - was, by-and-large, overlooked. Today, though, it offers something new for winedrinkers who are tired of Chardonnay, but like a fulll-bodied, rounded white (without the butter and vanilla flavors of oak-aging). The Christine Andrew has lots of peach, apricot, and tangerine...
Red Wine Club - 6 Months — $289.00
Send them the best with this 6 month club featuring 3 great red wines each month. From California to Europe, South America and Australia, this club will introduce them to 18 wonderful wines from small vineyards around the globe.
Orcala Viognier 2007 — $14.99
Chardonnay can sometimes seem like the only white wine grape that readily produces full-bodied wines, but the long-overlooked Viognier grape produces its own fantastic wines. And while they are both grown a warm climate, each grape has its own individual style: for example, where Chardonnay derives some flavors and texture from oak-aging, Viognier unabashedly finds its flavors and textures in the grape itself.
Richland Chardonnay 2008 South Eastern, Australia — $10.99
The Richland Chardonnay shows what can be gained from this approach: a refreshing interplay of fruit aromas – pear, mango, white peach and a dash of lemon – with just a hint of vanilla and white chocolate from the wood. It’s full-bodied and firm, but carries itself gracefully.
Ted Lindsay 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon — $14.99
Ted was a fierce and rough competitor, earning him the nickname “Terrible Ted”, but it was the combination of his grit and offensive talent that made his career so impressive. Ted’s incredible leadership as captain of the Red Wings helped lead to 3 Stanley Cups in the 1950’s, something that would not be seen again in Detroit for another 42 years.
Dancing River Chardonnay Mendocino 2006 — $13.99
300 Dias del Sol Tempranillo — $12.99
Tempranillo, Cencibel, Tinta del Toro, Ull de Llebre – it’s known by a boatload of names, but whatever you call it, it’s Spain’s signature red winegrape, a prime ingredient in the country’s most famous wines: Rioja, Toro and Ribera del Duero, for example. In warm areas like La Mancha, it develops dark fruit flavors without losing its elegant, medium-bodied character.
Broken Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 — $19.99
The qualities of this region come through in the Broken Barrel Cabernet; full-bodied and muscular, it shows smooth notes of blackberry, raspberry, and cassis, plus spicy-sweet touches of pipe tobacco. It's firm and dry, with great length. An excellent value, and it's usually double or more in price for a comparable wine.
Charles Thomas Pouilly-Fuisse 2005 — $24.99
The Pouilly-Fuisse region has become the role model for unoaked Chardonnay - crisper, lighter wines that let the flavor of the fruit shine through. While the idea is only a fashionable trend in California, Australia, and elsewhere, it's a long-standing tradition in the Macon region, with Pouilly-Fuisse as its focal point. The Charles Thomas Pouilly-Fuisse stays true to the style with a nose of baked apples, pear, cinnamon, and lemon. It's medium-bodied, with crisp acidity and a clean finish.
Mill Creek Merlot 2002 Dry Creek Valley, California — $17.99
Merlot has taken some hits in the past few years, but to good effect. While before it was grown in many places that were too warm, making for a flabby, soft wine, today the vineyards that have survived the "Sideways effect" deserve real attention. The Dry Creek Valley has the right conditions for Merlot – not as hot as other parts of California, the grape is allowed to ripen slowly, which keeps the focus on flavors and firmness. The Mill Creek Merlot has classic touches of plum, blackberry and milk...
Snowy River Semillon Chardonnay 2008 — $13.99
Semillon is Australia’s special white grape. Originally from Bordeaux, it goes into sweet wines like Sauternes, however Australia is one of the few places that also makes world-class dry wines. Snowy River uses this special grape in a blend so the grassy, honey and beeswax aromas mesh together with Chardonnay’s pear and peach notes. Medium-bodied, it’s got a smooth mouthfeel, but still has a refreshing and crisp finish. This is a nice change to serve at a party.
Climbing Vine Sauvignon Blanc 2007 — $14.99
Sauvignon Blanc has a lot of personality - or even a lot of personalities, ranging from super- fruity and tart to mostly mineral to tropical and lush. Climbing Vine stakes out a middle ground, with some aspects of each. It’s got a good mix of minerality and fruit, but avoids the extremes - not too tart, not tropical, but a pleasing balance of fig, green apple and pear notes. It retains the crisp, light character that is often Sauvignon Blanc's most mouthwatering trait.

Lapis Luna Romanza Zinfandel 2005 Lodi, California — $18.99
Back before there was Napa or Russian River Valley wines, Lodi was home to some of California's first grapevines. That means old vines today - decades old, in some cases - which make for rich, intense flavors in wine. The "Romanza" is then tempered with some Sangiovese, the grape at the heart of the Italian classic Chianti - it keeps the Zin from getting too heavy, so while the wine is full and lush, it doesn't get cloying. Blackberry, raspberry, and milk chocolate aromas dominate, balanced by a...
Yella Roo Chardonnay 2005 — $8.99
The "Roo" tells you this fruity wine comes from Australia; the "Yella" means it's white - in this case, Chardonnay, Down Under's most popular white varietal. The wine's exuberant fruit flavors also say Australia, with pineapple, mango, and melon aromas that perfectly evoke the sunny climate where the grapes were grown. The Yella Roo is a well-balanced, medium-bodied wine, its fruity nose complemented by a smooth texture and touches of vanilla and nutmeg.
Richland Chardonnay 2007 — $10.99

Fauna Sauvignon Blanc 2005 — $15.99
At the north end of New Zealand’s southern island, looking across the Cook Strait, is Marlborough, a wine region which gave the country its first international success – all because of the way its cool, maritime weather ripens Sauvignon Blanc into a refreshing, aromatic, fruit-filled wine. The Fauna Sauvignon Blanc pushes the tropical fruit envelope with aromas of guava, passionfruit, and mango, and stays light and smooth on the palate.
Mataverde Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 Mendoza, Argentina — $14.99
It should come as no surprise that Cabernet Sauvignon grows well in Argentina alongside the country’s signature grape, Malbec; after all, the two both originate in that classic French wine region, Bordeaux. While Argentine Malbec tends to sport a spicy side, the country’s Cabernet’s sometimes favor fruity aromas; the Mataverde shows juicy aromas of black plum, blackberry and raspberry, with some earthy touches of graphite. It’s full-bodied, with moderate tannins that balance well with all that fruit...
