This German Riesling is a spatelese that means the harvest came a little later than usual to give more density to the grapes.

we call it our Jacuzzi wine! because it's refreshing and exotic. This wine can also go very with spice food.

 Enjoy! $12.99

This is a great wine and we were happy to get a few cases! Please go see their website!Tenuta Friggiali - Montalcino - Benvenuti! I love my job! In the store at $18.99. I am not sure there's a big difference with the Brunello.

The idea is to present some excellent wines you wouldn't think about. This is one of them.

This red wine was obtained from the combination of Alfrocheiro, tinta-roriz and Touriga-nacional grapes. Thess grapes were vinified separrately. After being aged during 6 months in French oak barrels it was bottled and kept in cellar before coming to market.

Amancaya, a blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, never fails to impress. This wine is rich and controlled but also alert and upright. It is juicy and succulent, with ripe blackberry and cassis at its base. Finishes tight and long, and sports a fine structure throughout.
89 pts Wine Spectator 11/30/07
Has the vivid raspberry and boysenberry fruit of Malbec, along with the fine-grained tannins and nice framing notes of cedar, coffee and loam that come from Cabernet Sauvignon. The finish is long and focused. Drink now through 2008.
91 pts Wine Advocate Issue #174 Dec 2007
The 2006 Amancaya is composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Malbec aged for 12 months in French oak, 25% new. It offers an attractive bouquet of cedar, tobacco, damp earth, black cherry, red currants, and black currants. Supple, forward, ripe, and tasty, it conceals enough tannin to evolve for 2-3 years and will drink well through 2016. It is an outstanding value.

I don't believe too much in points but at least the wine got some accolades.. On Philippe 's  scale it's 95 points.

 Domaine de la Pertuisane Mauri  , near Perpignan France 2004

date selected 01/18/08

Why?• Because it's very good! Like a chateauneuf du Pape but with more body!

La Pertuisane 2004 ***(*) : Première barrique, 100% Carignan, qui révèle une matière imposante, légèrement piquante (gaz), avec des tanins encore un peu raides et serrés. Deuxième barrique, 100% grenache, riche, grasse, onctueuse, avec persistance d'une pointe de gaz, exprimant un beau fruit sur un boisé discret. Le vin définitif n'est donc encore pas déterminé, mais cela s'annonce plutôt très bon.

Des vins séduisants, dont on devrait reparler!

For the ones who don't speak French that means very good!

cost $29/bot
