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!
MAYOL VITICULTURE GLOP PRIORAT 2010, SPAIN
"Readers should know that Glop means sipping Catalan dialect and the 2010 is a blend of 60% Garnacha, 20% Carinena and 20% Syrah from two estates, Els Bevisos and La Solana. It is aged in French oak for four months, mostly in three-year-old barrels. It has a well-defined, unpretentious bouquet with lifted scents of mulberry, dark plum and a touch of liquorice that is very appealing and evolves floral notes with aeration. The palate is full-bodied with ripe black fruit, a slightly grainy texture and crisp acidity. This Priorat is punching well above its weight with a very elegant finish. Youll want more than a glop. Drink now-2018."

JORGE ORDONEZ BOTANI MOSCATEL SEC 2011, SPAIN
Green, grassy, floral and minerally on the nose. The wine shows multiple dimensions on the palate; green apple, orange, grapefruit with subtle white flowers and fresh squeezed lime acidity. A hint of anise and spice toward the medium finish.
Dry styles of Muscat pair very well with smoked ham, soft cheeses, light curries, shellfish, seafood, vegetarian dishes, quiche, omelets, sushi or risotto.

BODEGAS CONVENTO DE LAS CLARAS RIBERA DEL DUERO 2011, SPAIN
Another knock-out offering from a winery founded in 2010, with some vineyards dating back to 1900, the 2011 Las Claras was aged in French oak, most of it new, for eight months prior to bottling. This fabulous bargain over-delivers in every sense. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by abundant notes of lead pencil shavings, white chocolate, espresso roast and creme de cassis. This modern-styled Spanish, super-rich, intense red takes ripeness to the limit. Consume it over the next 7-8 years.

MICHEL GASSIER COSTIERES DE NIMES NOSTRE PAIS ROUGE, 2010, FRANCE
"The sexy, medium to full-bodied 2010 Nostre Pais Rouge exhibits velvety tannins along with copious garrigue, lavender, licorice, black currant, cherry, kirsch and spice box characteristics. This luscious, fruit forward, undeniably seductive red is composed of 35% Grenache, 25% Carignan, 20% Mourvedre, 15% Cinsault and 5% Syrah. Aged six months in French oak, mostly on its lees, the price point is ridiculous for a wine of this quality. It is best drunk over the next 1-2 years."

CHAKANA ESTATE SELECTION RED BLEND 2011, ARGENTINA
Aged in 100% new French oak Barrels for 10 months. This is a huge wine with gorgeous fruits, depth and style. Intense fruity flavors with velvety tannins. Excellent with grilled steak, roasted chicken and drinking it on on the deck! Expressive fruit driven aromas of berry, liquorice and pencil lead. Palate shows integrity, good structure and texture with sweet tannins.
"Chakana's top cuvee is their 2011 Estate Blend, which is 60% Malbec from the Agrelo vineyard and the rest equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Aged 10 months in French oak, this wine displays notes of toast, blackberries, sweet cherries and Asian plum sauce as well as notes of white chocolate and barrique. The wine has great fruit, an opaque purple color, medium to full body, and loads of glycerin, fruit and length. It will drink well for 7-8 years, possibly even longer, and it is a sensational value."

SAINT-ROCH CHIMERES COTES DU ROUSSILLON VILLAGES 2009, FRANCE
"From (in order of importance) Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan grown on schist, the Chateau Saint Roch 2009 Cotes du Roussillon Chimeres delivers scents and palate impingement akin to crushed stone, with iodine and fruit pit further accenting its ripe dark cherry, purple plum, and black raspberry fruit. This displays a saturation of tine tannins and a stain-inducing intensity of sheer fruit, along with a surprising sense of lift and vivacity, even though those virtues are combined with a hint of heat. It should perform well for at least 3-4 years."

DOM DU PAS DE L'ESCALETTE PETIT PAS ROUGE 2011, FRANCE
An homage to our sons, Julius and Gabriel, who were born at the beginning of our adventure in Languedoc. Zesty, with lively red plum, raspberry and cherry flavors and touches of licorice. The flavors echo on the fresh finish.
"This Grenache-Syrah-Carignan offers a melange of blackberry and strawberry with marrowy meatiness and a savor of pan drippings. Subtle, bittersweet floral suggestions waft from the glass as the wine takes on air, while notes of iodine and salt extend a mouthwatering finish."

BODEGAS LA CANA RIAS BAIXAS ALBARINO 2011, SPAIN
Bodegas La Cana's Albarino was fermented in stainless steel (80%) and larger barrels (20%) and aged sur lie. Mineral, lemon zest, baking spices, and floral notes inform the nose of this round, smooth-textured, savory white. With excellent volume and length, this outstanding value will provide pleasure for another 3-4 years.
"Light yellow. Explosive aromas of tangerine, melon, peach pit and white flowers, with an exotic note of lemongrass emerging with air. Dry and nervy on the palate, offering lively citrus fruit and honeydew flavors and a bracing mineral quality. Shows impressive energy on the finish, which features chalky mineral and spice qualities."

LOIMER GRUNER VELTLINER 2011, AUSTRIA
Loimer's Kamptal DAC Grüner Veltliner should reflect the home region at its best. Freshness, typical spice components, apple and citrus hints and a vibrant acidity. Light citrus yellow; Spicy, peppery, bright green apple and even exotic notes like grapefruit. The very clear, juicy fruit and fresh acid structure play a crucial role for the mouthfeel and make this a very pleasurable wine to drink. Because of its structure and lengthy mineral palate, this is a wine of depth - even with its medium body. A perfect partner with cold cuts or fish like trout; also good with veal and ambitious chicken dishes.
