Dear
For 16yrs we have referred to our monthly assortment as "mixed" as if to imply that the selection is random.
Nothing could be further from the truth! Each month we spend a considerable amount of time tasting and selecting the wines for the the monthly "mix".
Bringing you the only wines that matter.....good ones!
THE TASTING TABLE This Saturday the tasting table is open! We'll show a selection from the November "not mixed" case.
2009 HIGUERUELA Almansa, Spain
(mistook this for a gosh darn Vacqueyras!)
2009 SECRET DE CAMPAGNES, France
(if we tell you what it is it wouldn't be a secret)
2011 INDABA SAUVIGNON BLANC, South Africa
(Wine Spectator "top value")
2010 HAZYBLUR PINOT GRIS, Kangaroo Island

2010 CEDRUS le BLANC, Gascogne France $12.99
This is a Colombard and Ugni blanc blend from SW France. No wood so it retains a brightness of fruit that is "startling" Finishes with a clear grapefruit tang.

|
2011 INDABA SAUVIGNON BLANC, S Africa $12.99
Southern Hemisphere i.e. big fruit but with a vibrancy and verve. Lime/melon/herbs. Classy and a
Wine Spectator Best Buy
AFFINITY: Sauteed Scallops with English pea puree
|
NV CA del SARDO FRIZZANTE, Italy $10.99
Not quite Prosecco, not quite Vinho Verde. It bubbles seductively, has an aroma of a freshly peeled peach. But mostly it's fun and what's wrong with that?
Did we mention it is a Barolo Grill feauture?
AFFINITY: In Italy they drink it with football games (soccer). Hey, beats Budweiser
|
2010 HAZYBLUR PINOT GRIS, Australia $13.99
Kangaroo Island, sounds like a hoppin' place. Soft and viscous with nice fruit flavors, would meld well with a variety of dishes
AFFINITY: Perfect before dinner and very versatile
|
2011 TORTOISE CREEK VIOGNIER, France $12.99
Wild aromatics of unripe pit fruits and dried flowers. Has an earthy component that marries well with the exotics. Dry, and slightly viscous. Very cool

AFFINITY: Wonderful with Mexican meat dishes or anything grilled
|
2011 FOLONARI CHIANTI $9.99
Modern-style sangiovese with vibrant color and scents of cedar, vanilla and black cherry. Dried spices and vanilla buttress crisp cherry flavors on the palate. A follow up to the highly rated 2010
AFFINITY: Pasta red sauce, what else? Oh yea, pizza
|
2010 TINTO NEGRO MALBEC,Argentina $12.99
This is a lighter and softer version of the sometimes over the top Malbecs. That makes it better suited to "drinking"

From down in the Southern Rhone, where Grenache is king. Like Cotes du Rhone but softer and more gulpable
