Holiday Stocking Stuffers!
    
  • 2001 Trimbach, Riesling, Clos Ste. Hune, Alsace, 94+ pts., Tanzer; $129.00: One of the greatest Rieslings in Europe!  Rich and inviting, with complex smoke, apple, peach, lemon and mineral flavors.  Great intensity on the palate and a smooth texutre the melds with the vibrant structure.  Long and detailed finish.  
  • 2007 Sea Smoke Cellars, Chardonnay, Sta. Rita Hills, 1.5 Litre; $135.00: An elegant Chardonnay with aromas of macadamia, bananas foster and honeydew, complemented by a rich mid-palate and the refreshing cool climate acidity of our estate vineyard.       
  • #46, Top 100, 2009 Argiano, Toscana Non Confunditur, 92 pts., Wine Spectator; $25.00: "An appealing graphite aroma adds depth to the black currant, violet and cedar aromas and flavors in this svelte red, which is smooth, with finely woven tannins. The bright acidity drives the spicy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. Best from 2013 through 2021. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 9,166 cases made."     
  • #63, Top 100, 2007 Darioush, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 94 pts., Wine Spectator, 375 ml.; $45.00:  A rich, generous and complex vintage offering aromas of European dark chocolate, blackberry, espresso and graphite framed by succulent, fully-developed tannins and a sleek, old-world, mineral-driven structure.           
  • 2008 Corra Wines, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 94 pts., Wine Spectator; $135.00:  Aromas offer an impressive array of dark sweet cherry, perfumed boysenberry and ripe blackberry, vanilla, cinnamon bark and sweet anise notes. On the palate, the wine dances in an interplay between the light, vivacious fresh purple fruit tones and the undercurrents of mocha, vanilla and caramel, while texturally the wine is consistently full from start to finish. 
  • 2009 Cayuse Vineyards, Syrah, En Cerise Vineyard, Walla Walla Valley; $95.00: Frenchman Christophe Baron specializes in compellingly aromatic, layered Syrahs with a distinct Old World flavor, from a rocky vineyard in Walla Walla Valley. He discovered the site on the Oregon side of the valley back in the mid-1990s, when he was searching for the perfect site for growing the varietal. The rocky soil sold him on this spot, as it reminded him of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.   
  • 2008 Domaine des Pedrix, Nuits-Saint-Georges, 90 pts., Wine Spectator; $85.00  A beautifully perfumed wine. It has a good edge of firm tannins, but the fruit is so sweet and ripe, packed with strawberry jam flavors. Very seductive, the wood spice gives an extra edge.     
  • 2007 Bouchard Pere & Fils, Greves Vigne de L'Infant Jesus, 93 pts., Wine Spectator; $139.00: Medium-plus color. Intense violets over red cherry and a faint white pepper. Very, very silky - gorgeous depth of plush red fruit. Very, very long with just a hint of barrel flavour. It's a beauty.
  • 2009 Pingus, Flor de Pingus, 95-98 pts., Parker; $99.00: The 2009 Flor de Pingus (3000 cases) will ultimately spend 14 months in a mix of new and used French oak. It is opaque purple in color with a primary perfume of pain grille, mineral, spice box, incense, and blackberry. Locked and loaded with remarkable concentration and depth, this mouth-coating lengthy offering manages to incorporate some elegance into its powerful physique. It will drink well for 30-40 years.

Village Wine Cellar - Where we keep our entire store at a constant 64 degrees
 
From Parker's Wine Buyers Guide No 7 by Robert M. Parker, Jr.  is this quote from the introduction, How to Store Wine, page 9:
 
"If you can somehow get the temperature down to 65 degrees Farenheight or below, you will never have to worry about the condition of your wines."

Here at the Village Wine Cellar we proudly keep  we proudly keep our ENTIRE store a constant "64 degrees temperature controlled," 365 days a year, hence Village Wine Cellar. 

This separates our store from all others as temperature is vital to the keeping wine from being spoiled.  Proper storage is crucial to keeping the wine's integrity and quality from being compromised.  As you are aware,  all too often, someone has purchased a bottle of wine elsewhere only to find that their purchase is ruined due to the store temperature was too warm.  This will never happen at Village Wine Cellar.
