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!
BODEGAS ALTO ALMANZORA ESTE 2007, SPAIN
There are 10,000 cases of Alto Almanzora's 2007 Este, a blend of 45% Monastrell, 25% Tempranillo, and the balance Syrah, Garnacha, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is sourced from the little-known DO of Almeria located in eastern Andalucia in the south-east of Spain. The wine was aged for six months in French and American oak. Deep purple in color (remarkably dense for its humble price), it offers up a full-blown nose of smoke, spice box, and wild blueberry. Ripe, succulent, and layered, this bargain-priced, hedonistic effort totally over-delivers. Buy it by the palette load and drink it over the next three years.

CRISTALINO CAVA BRUT N/V, SPAIN
"What more could you want in a budget-priced sparkler? No, it's not hugely complex, but it's fresh and lively, with lime and herb aromas, tart green apple flavors and a zippy finish. Simple, but bouncy and clean."
Cristalino Cava Brut is a sparkling wine from Spain, made from the grape varietals Macabeo 50%, Parellada 35% and Xarello 15%. Produced by Jaume Serra, this lovely sparkler offers a fine alternative to Champagne at less than half the price.

HENRY'S DRIVE PILLAR BOX RED 2007, AUSTRALIA
There's a reason the critics love this wine so much year in and year out and that can be summed up in the work "drinkability." "Purple-colored, it exhibits an expressive
nose of spice box, earth notes, blueberry and
black currant. Ripe, sweet and layered, this
nicely rendered red has exceptional balance and length for its humble price." This blend of 65% Shiraz, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot, aged in both French and American oak, offers gobs of rich berry fruit, ample acidity and lots and lots of bang for the incredibly small amount of buck. Drink this awesome value over the next 2-3 years. Pillar Box has a powerful pedigree; fruit sourced from Henry's Drive and winemaking consultation from the renowned Chris Ringland.

BODEGAS SABOR REAL JOVEN 2006, TORO, SPAIN
The 2006 Toro was aged in French and American oak, 50% new. Purple colored, it has an excellent, slightly roasted perfume with notes of wood smoke, scorched earth, espresso, and blackberry. Full-bodied, fat, and well-endowed on the palate, the wine has gobs of spicy, forward fruit, excellent balance, and enough structure to last for another 8 years. It is a spectacular value in Toro that totally over-delivers for its bargain basement price. This is one to buy by the case.
The Bodegas was started in 2003 and all of the wines are produced from estate owned Tinta de Toro vines, most of them over 80 years of age.

EL MOLINET VALENCIA 2007, SPAIN
The 2007 El Molinet is a blend of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for six months in seasoned oak before bottling without filtration. Purple-colored, the wine has an expressive perfume of cedar, tobacco, mineral, and blackberry. Smooth-textured and layered, this ripe, spicy wine has a forward personality and a lengthy finish. Drink it over the next five years.
Wine Advocate 90 Pts
Deep, bright red. Fresh red berry and baking spice aromas are strikingly brisk and focused. Racy, light-bodied raspberry and cherry flavors are unencumbered by tannins but nicely framed by juicy acidity. Pinot-like in its vivacious, red-fruit expression and firm finishing cut. This is really delicious.

VALDELAINOS VERDEJO RUEDA 2008, SPAIN
Wine Enthusiast rated #8 of Top 100 Best Buys of 2008
A brilliant straw-yellow colour, with a fresh bouquet, and light touches of grass typical of the Verdejo variety, perfectly blended with the tropical notes that are more typical of the Viura variety. In the mouth it is fresh, with a very tasty palate and a full variety of fruits.
