Best Selection of 90+ Point Wines Anywhere!!!
We have one of the largest selections of TOP RATED WINES in the nation. Our outstanding
staff selected
many of these wines well before they received outstanding ratings allowing
us to purchase large quantities at bargain prices. These wines all received top honors
from noted wine publications including; Robert Parker's Wine Advocate,
The Wine Spectator, and Stephen Tanzer's International
Wine Cellar.
Best of all, we do not mark these wines up after they received
their high ratings. We maintain our low prices and in many cases we mark down these
wines to ensure that we have the best prices available. If a supplier marks up a wine
after it receives a high rating - we won't offer it to you as we believe we can offer you
outstanding, and high-rated wines, at good prices.
All SALE Wines featured on this page are marked down 10 - 25%. Additionally,
there is a 10% Mixed Case Discount on all non-sale wines. So when you purchase
12 or more bottles of sale and non-sale wines, you get 10% off all the non-sale wines.
You can't beat these wines, or these prices!
DI LENARDO CHARDONNAY 2010, ITALY
A color of pale straw with greenish tints and a characteristic note of bitter almonds on the nose. Delicate and refined, soft and round with slightly reduced acidity. What stands out is the well made style and the prominent notes of banana and pear. Tasty and delicious! Displays apple pie, coconut and vanilla aromas. Full-bodied, with lots of rich fruit. Almost tropical, slightly oily and exotic. Drink now.

D'ARENBERG VIOG/MARSANNE THE HERMIT CRAB ADELAIDE 2009, AUSTRALIA
The nose is expressive and rich with orange peel, candied ginger, apricot, and citrus notes. The Marsanne shows itself in the peach and nutty complexity which is married nicely with an appealing straw like vegetal character. The palate has a lovely balance of sweetness, palate weight, and acidity. Lemon and lime characters are prominent on the palate with a lively granny smith apple acidity providing great focus. With some bottle age the stone fruit notes become more prominent with less emphasis on the citrus spectrum. 72% Viogniner and 28% Marsanne

FAIRVIEW SAUVIGNON BLANC 2010, SOUTH AFRICA
Pale silver-yellow. Bracing aromas of grapefruit, white pepper and lime zest, plus a whiff of asparagus. Juicy and firm but not hard, with excellent intensity for a sauvignon in this price range. The citrus, licorice, herb and anise flavors are complemented by a smoky minerality. Nicely chewy, uncompromising wine with a dusty, long finish.

NORTH BY NORTHWEST RIESLING 2010, WASHINGTON
Pale straw color with golden hues. Aromas of banana, pineapple, guava, lemon and minerality, with floral notes. Flavors include banana, pear, apple, lime, lemon zest, tangerine and touches of minerality. The mouthfeel is dry and crisp, with some weight and well-balanced, lingering acidity.
"The crisp white offers pear and melon flavors that step lightly through the finish."

WOOP WOOP CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2009, AUSTRALIA
Vivid ruby. Ripe but energetic aromas of blackberry, cherry, licorice, tobacco and herbs, complicated by cracked pepper and exotic spices; smells like a $50 Napa cabernet. Lush, pliant and sweet, with a layered, chewy texture to the flavors of red and black fruits, bitter chocolate and spices. This is really packed with fruit but there's a litheness to it as well. Finishes with fine, palate-dusting tannins and lingering sweetness. A fantastic value.

DOM LAFAGE GRENACHE NOIR 2009, FRANCE
"The Lafage 2009 Cuvee Nicolas - also bottled as "Cote Grenache"; sourced principally from Les Aspres; cold-soaked, and vinified in upright demi-muids - is plush and glycerin-rich yet neither heavy nor warm. Nutty underlying richness and a sounding board of wet stone compliment and set-off ripe dark berry fruit that really envelops the palate. This irresistible essence of Grenache ought to merit service for at least 3-4 years."

INNOCENT BYSTANDER VICTORI MOSCATO 2011, AUSTRALIA
"Pale, lurid pink. Fresh lime, peach and raspberry preserves on the nose, with hints of tangerine and flowers adding complexity. Juicy, gently sweet red berry and pit fruit flavors are given a tangy bite by suggestions of white pepper and citrus zest. Juicy, off-dry and extremely easy to drink, especially if you have a bit of a sweet tooth. Reminds me a bit of an adult raspberry limeade. This would be great with a cheese and fruit course."

FALESCO MERLOT 2009, ITALY
This wine is deep ruby-red with sensual aromas of blackberry, tobacco and vanilla, which carry through on the palate into a lingering finish. Full-bodied and velvety, it pairs beautifully with mildly spicy entrees, varied pastas and even roasted or grilled meats. And at this price - it is an incredible value.
"The 2009 Merlot is one of the finest wines I have ever tasted from Falesco. It is a decidedly firm, vibrant Merlot that stands in stark contrast to the super-ripe, obvious Vitiano Rosso. Here the fruit is wonderfully precise and elegant. Jammy blueberries, blackberries, cinnamon, leather and crushed rocks are woven into a beautiful fabric. The French oak is layered very nicely, adding depth and flavor, but never overpowering the wine. This is impressive juice from proprietor Riccardo Cotarella."

KEN FORRESTER CHENIN BLANC RESERVE 2010, SOUTH AFRICA
This full-bodied Chenin harmoniously balances ripe fruit with delicate oak nuances. It flaunts a rich, luscious mouthfeel, with flavors of melon and tropical fruit enhanced by complex mineral notes and hints of spice. Extended lees contact imparts an alluring honeycomb character.
A strong toasty streak lines the essence of the beautiful Chenin Blanc, adding character to the apple and pear fruit core. The mouthfeel is full and rich without being overdone thanks to the balanced acidity, while nuances of sweet spice, pie crust and wood-grilled Red Delicious all linger well into the long finish.

LUSTAU LIGHT FINO JARANA, SPAIN
"The crisp, light-bodied, pungent, potent non-vintage Light Fino Jarana is redolent of the smells and flavors of roasted nuts. The brilliant quality of the Emilio Lustau's sherries is indisputable... Sherry remains the world's most underappreciated and undervalued Beverage."
