2010 LATOUR "ARDECHE" CHARDONNAY (UNOAKED) (FRANCE) Reg. $11.99
A very nice value in French unoaked Chardonnay.
AFFINITY: Perfect for roasted vegetables
|
2011 PEPI CHENIN-VIOGNIER (CA) Reg. $11.99
Move over Pine Ridge! These grapes make a great blend together. From a renowned producer, Pepi (no skunk here), and a bit drier version than the Pine Ridge. You likah.
|
2010 LEESE-FITCH SAUVIGNON BLANC (CA) Reg. $12.99
2012 Wine Enthusiast "top 100" and a 90 pt wine... but don't hold that against it! A lovely Sauvignon Blanc, dry, crisply acidic and clean, with complex citrus, flower and mineral flavors. A great value for the money. Check out the capsule.
AFFINITY: Fruit, Cheese and Fresh-Baked Sourdough Bread!
|
2011 MERCATTO PINOT GRIGIO (ITALY)
Reg. $13.99
It is uncommon to find a Pinot Grigio selling at this price to be of this quality. From Trentino DOC, it is full of rich flavors and bright acidity. Decadent fig and melon flavors with complex minerality and floral tones, but a crisp fresh finish. Nice debut for City Wine! From Piedmont.
AFFINITY: Pasta Ravioli with goat cheese, wild mushrooms, arugula, truffle oil (please dial 303-393-7576 and invite Kirk)
|
 2011 VIEGA DA PRINCESA ALBARINO (SPAIN) Reg. $14.99
This may be the best find of all the whites, and it normally sells for $22. This wine is a BIG and FLORAL white, loads of personality, and not a shy one, either. Single estate vineyard. Intense, pure, some anise notes along with lime zest and orange peel. Delicious. A couple 90pt scores.
AFFINITY: A big bold Paella - OMG

STAFF PICK WHITE
Ya just never know what we'll come up with ;)
|
 2011 CONO SUR PINOT NOIR (CHILE) Reg. $10.99
Perpetual value here (even Tanzer gave it a good review). Textbook pinot scents of red berries and musky herbs. Light-bodied strawberry and raspberry flavors show good clarity and some depth.
AFFINITY: Burgers & Brats (one last time!)
|
2010 DELAS COTES-DU-VENTOUX (FRANCE) Reg. $13.99
"The 2010 Cotes du Ventoux reveals crisp, elegant berry fruit intermixed with crushed rock and roasted herb notes in its medium-bodied, Burgundian-like, elegant personality." WA "best buy". Very drinkable red (Grenache/80 and Syrah/20) from the southern Rhone.
AFFINITY: Herbed Chicken and Roasted Vegetables
|
2010 ZESTOS (SPAIN) Reg. $10.99
1/2 each Garnacha and Tempranillo. Spicy aromas of cherry, raspberry, fruitcake and minerals. Ripe and lush, with good texture and heft to its red and dark berry flavors. A ripe, slightly jammy finish features a suggestion of smoky minerals. A perpetual crowd-pleaser and super value.
AFFINITY: Pizzas or simple Tapas
|
2010 TIKVES VRANEC (MACEDONIA)
Reg. $13.99
Different-and-exotic-R-Us. Macedonia?? This wine is made by famed oenologist Phillippe Cambie and has 90pts from Robert Parker. "Gorgeous fruit, medium to full body, supple tannins and outstanding purity as well as length. This remarkable value exhibits a deep ruby/plum color, abundant black currant fruit, and an unmistakable personality. It comes from 30 to 60-year-old Vranec vines from the oldest winery in Macedonia, first established in 1885."
|
2008 DUTSCHKE "WILLOW BEND" (AUSTRALIA) Reg. $14.99
What a steal here, from a venerable estate (Barossa winemaker of the year), a scrumptious blend of Shiraz, Cab & Merlot, made to sell for $25. Nice maturity, just perfect big red.... and a find only @ City Wine! Hoo-boy!
AFFINITY: Lamb Stew or some Kangaroo Chops
|
STAFF PICK RED
This month, we debated and actually PICKED one! A great 2010 Primaterra Primitivo from ITALY. It is juicy, jammy, low alcohol and perfect for your backyard BBQ's. Staff-picked! Reg. $11.99
