FIVE INTERNATIONAL WINES FOR FREE TASTING: FRIDAY, 4 MARCH 5-7 PM

Ben Ferril of Banville will share five wines from his fantastic portfolio for FREE tasting Friday evening.  We'll start with perhaps our biggest selling white wine, Koha's Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.  See what make's this bargain white such a huge seller!  Next we'll move to France for a classic white with a convoluted name- Meurgey-Croses Macon-Uchizy Vin de Bourgogne Blanc.  That title is a mouthfull, but so is the wine- a super high-quality Chardonnay from the famed Burgundy region of France.  We'll move to Italy for the final three wines.  First, we'll have two Tuscan wines from Donna Laura, her "Ali" Rose and "Ali" Red, both Sangiovese-based crowd-pleasers.  Finally, we'll sample a unique southern Italian red- a Copertino Riserva.  This unique blend is predominantly Negro Amaro, with a small percentage of Malvasia Nera.  This is truly a super lineup!  And as always, all of these wines will be on sale all day!

This 95-pt rouge is the next great bargain Red Bordeaux!!

2019 CHATEAU BOURDIEU "NO. 1" BLAYE COTES DE BORDEAUX IS A STEAL AT ONLY $18.98!!!

"Pristine definition of pure and driving damson, cherry and plum, with understated vanilla oak. Deep and long, the palate reveals a cascade of fleshy black fruits over ripe, fine-grained tannins and fruit-bonded acidity. Lovely stuff." - Decanter, 95 points

Humankind is perpetually seeking certain things that seem forever beyond reach: enduring peace, rational political debate, a unified field theory and, most important- great Bordeaux Rouge at a bargain price!  Most of this is beyond our ken, but that Bordeaux Rouge thing definitely falls within the purview of Finewine.com.  In fact, one of our perpetual goals is finding truly superior Bordeaux Rouge that prices near or below $20 to our customers.  This is an often thankless search; we taste many more Bordeaux than ever make it to our shelves, and even some highly-rated wines disappoint.  Today we feature a wine that easily made the grade- Château Bourdieu "No. 1" Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux 2019.  This super red is also a super value at our sale price of only $18.98 a bottle!

Bourdieu No. 1 is not to be confused with Chateau Bourdieu, which we featured a few months ago.  This is a different bottling, at a somewhat lower price and imported by a different distributor- but it does come from part of the same ancestral vineyards as it's delicious counterpart.  These vineyards are located in the "right bank" appellation of Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux, just across the Gironde River from famous "left bank" Médoc vineyards.  This is a classic "right-bank" wine, a Merlot-predominant blend supplemented in this instance with 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Malbec.  "Bourdieu No. 1" sports a stratospheric 95-point rating, and when we tasted this jem, our reaction was immediate: Wow!!  In contrast to the many Bordeaux that fail to meet our standards, this is no lightweight- it has real depth, power and a supporting tannic structure.  The winery's description captures our impressions well in saying it: "offers a beautiful deep garnet color...its expressive and complex nose, made up of very ripe black fruits: blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry and fresh red fruits: strawberry, redcurrant- is enhanced with wonderful toasted and vanilla notes. Its mouth is rich, structured, fleshy and ample thanks to its round and silky tannins." 

Red Bordeaux is one of the world's greatest wines, and the best command prices that make Manhattan real estate seem reasonable.  But unlike a region such as Burgundy, Bordeaux can still offer world-class values, especially in wines whose prices lag behind their increasing quality.  The 2019 Chateau Bourdieu No. 1 is a case in point, the product of old vines from classic terroir of clay, limestone and gravel.  The result is remarkable - a wine that tastes like it could cost double our sale price, and a perfect pairing with lamb, steak, gourmet burgers, pulled pork, you name it.  Every Bordeaux lover needs to try this wine- you will not be disappointed!  Order online NOW or call 301-987-5933!
