EILENZ AYLER KUPP KABINETT 2006, GERMANY
Half Price! This stellar value won't last. We got one shot on this gem. The wine village of Ayl began as a settlement in Roman times. The Eilenz vineyars are located along steep slopes. Aromas of honey, citrus and toast lead into flavors of tropical fruit, oranges and white flowers. The finish is refreshing and long with lingering hints of fruit. Try it with spicy fish, honey ham and as a cocktail. Great for pool side sipping and back porch relaxing.

MONMOUSSEAU VOUVRAY 2007, FRANCE
Calling all fruity wine lovers! A mildly sweet, low acid version of Vouvray. Very friendly, nice fruit. Easy to glug it down. Nice wine for sweeter wine lovers to enjoy without excluding the dry white consumers. This is a no brainer. You will love this old vine Chenin Blanc that is so smooth and elegant.
We bet you can't just drink one glass... this is too delicious to restrain yourself!
Ripe with all of the floral, honey and white peach notes characteristic of Chenin. A hint of lanolin and beeswax are beginning to show as the wine has had time to age. Medium-bodied and semi-dry (fruity!) on the palate with citrusy acidity balancing the slight sweetness and delicious mineral flavors on the finish.

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.

BIBI GRAETZ CASAMATTA BIANCO 2007, ITALY
"These two entry-level wines from Bibi Graetz offer a lot of bang for the buck. Graetz remains one of my favorite producers in Italy. His hand-crafted wines, and in particular, the flagship Sangiovese Testamatta, are among the most compelling wines being made today." -Wine Advocate
The 2007 Bianco di Casamatta is 100% Vermentino sourced from vineyards in Bolgheri. It is a soft, easygoing white, yet there is a lot going on in the glass. White peaches, spices, mint, minerals, are just a few of the aromas and flavors that emerge from this delicious white. A crisp, long finish makes it difficult to resist a second taste.
