May Wine Specials

May Wine Specials

WHITE

Sitios de Bodea "Con Class" Rueda
2005 ~ Spain
Regularly $9.99 ~ Sale $8.99
80% Verdejo, 10% Viura and 10% Sauvignon Blanc. Medium straw-colored, it reveals aromas and flavors of melons and citrus in a refreshing style. This excellent value offers surprising complexity for a wine of its humble price.

Baileyana Chardonnay
2004 ~ California
Regularly $23.99 ~ Sale $19.99
It has bright tropical fuit flavors and a lsight lemony character, but it is also full, rich and round.

Domain de la Cadette Bourgone Blanc
2004 ~ France
Regularly $15.99 ~ Sale $13.99
Lovely cool-climate chardonnay, vinified without the use of new oak. A mini-Chablis, if in any sense this wine is 'mini.' Firm, dry, with hauntingly creamy fuit that shispers rather than shouts.

REDS

Aries Merlot
2001 ~ California
Regularly $11.99 ~ Sale $9.99
Certified Organic! Jammy fuit fills this wine, redolent of dark cherries and plums that play off the bright acidity and mild tannins. Accents of oak and herbs play around the fuit adding complexity and varietal character.

Baileyana Syrah
2003 ~ California
Regularly $23.99 ~ Sale $19.99
A subtle interpretation of bright, fresh fruit and stony tannins, this wine stays cool while black peppercorn flavors and floral scents expand into a beautiful finish.

Castle Rock Pinot Noir Sonoma
2006 ~ California
Regularly $12.99 ~ Sale $10.99
This elegant well-balanced wine offers aromas of red fruit and spice. On the palate, there are flavors of plum and cherry with oak nuances, and the finish is long and harmonious. An unreal price on Sonoma Pinot Noir!
