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!
BEN GLAETZER WALLACE SHIRAZ/GRENACHE 2008, AUSTRALIA
The 2008 Wallace is a blend of 80% Shiraz from 45-130 year old vines and 20% bush vine Grenache from 75 year old vines located in the prime Ebenezer district of Barossa. Yields were a meager 1.5 tons per acre. Dark ruby-colored, it has an alluring bouquet of smoke, violets, incense, black cherry, and blueberry. The wine has a bit of underlying structure, medium to full-body, plenty of sweet fruit, but a slightly compact finish. This pleasure-bent effort is an outstanding value. -Robert Parker

ARROWOOD CABERNET SAUVIGNON SONOMA COUNTY 2005, CALIFORNIA
Blend: 89.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.2% Merlot, 1.6% Malbec, 1.3% Petit Verdot. For vineyards, this Cabernet combines Arrowood's favorite bench, hillside and mountain sites (many organically farmed) in Sonoma, Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. By blending lots from a variety of sources, Richard Arrowood is able to capture the character of the vintage and the essence of Sonoma County Cabernet.
The color is deep and youthful. The nose is a mix of ripe dark fruits, cassis, sandalwood and violets. The palate is rich and mouth-coating with tannins that are clearly present, yet beautifully integrated. This is a delicious, full-bodied Cabernet that will bring great pleasure over the next decade. "A beautiful Cabernet, made in an elegantly approachable way. Dry and smooth, it shows complex flavors of blackberries, currants and dried herbs wrapped into rich, dusty tannins."

FRANCOIS CHIDAINE MONTLOUIS SUR LOIRE LES TUFFEAUX 2007, FRANCE
Still a touch tight, with a core of pure Bosc pear and Jonagold apple notes waiting in reserve. Hints of orange blossom, quince, cardamom and green almond chime in on the lengthy finish, which has latent depth. Should open nicely with brief cellaring. Drink now through 2012. 1,690 cases made - Wine Spectator

WHITEHALL LANE MERLOT NAPA 2006, CALIFORNIA
The aromas are somewhat exotic, melding spicy aromas with dark cherry and blackberry notes and hi-lighted by hints of violet and lavender. The flavors are similar to the aromas with sandalwood and vanilla just beginning to give ground to the greater fruit below. It finishes long and silky, revealing its cherry core in the delicious finish. The wine is ready to enjoy now and will evolve with cellaring to 2012.

FRANCOIS VILLARD LES CONTOURS DE DEPONCINS 2007, FRANCE
Here's a chance to try a stunning Viognier from one of the masters of Condrieu for a fraction of Condrieu prices. Robert Parker has called Francois Villard one of the "stars" of the Northern Rhone based on his highly allocated, highly scored, and highly priced Condrieus. Villard brings the same care, talent and skill to the making of this delicious Viognier from the Collines Rhodaniennes just south of the Rhone valley. Pretty floral aromas lead to loads of bright peach and apricot flavors followed by just a hint of mineral and smoke. Rich, but great energy and drive keep the wine refreshing. Drink now or over the next 3-4 years.

SCHRAMSBERG BLANC DE BLANCS 2006, CALIFORNIA
"Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, this bubbly is dry, elegant and will take some bottle age. It has rich and complex, but subtle, flavors of grilled peaches, pears, brioche, vanilla and smoke, with a spicy finish. Give it a few years for the edges to smooth out."

HOLLORAN LE PAVILLON PINOT NOIR DUNDEE HILLS 2007, OREGON
Every year we taste Holloran's top-of-the-line Pinot and marvel at how can Bill sell a wine like this for half the price charged by other high-end Willamette Pinot producers? This Pinot comes from 30 year-old vines in Holloran's Le Pavillon vineyard in the Dundee Hills. The vineyard has been farmed organically since 1999 and biodynamically since 2005. Ripe strawberry and cranberry aromas meld with spicy, licorice, cocoa,and cinnamon notes. Flavors follow the nose, and a big, rich, mouthfeel largely obscures the ripe tannin that will allow the 2006 Le Pavillon to age gracefully. Decant for 30 minutes to drink now, or hold for 2-5+ years if you can!.
