Summer $1.00 SALE, this week is:

   
2010 Masi, Masianco, Pinot Grigio & Verduzzo, Friuli: Was $20.00, our price is $19.00 and get the second bottle for $1.00:

"Pinot Grigio haters - listen up. This unusual Friulian blend of Pinot Grigio and Verduzzo from top Amarone producer Masi will have you singing a different tune. Picked and vinified separately, the Pinot Grigio, which accounts for 75% of the blend, is fermented in stainless tanks without full malolactic fermentation, yielding a more crisp, brighter wine. The Verduzzo component is further ripened on racks for three weeks before vinification in barrique, a Venetian style called 'appassimento.' The assemblage results in a wine that's fresh, yet complex, crisp and mineral yet full-bodied and rich. It's interesting even when young. So branch out! You'll be delighted you did." -Lily Davis, WHWC
  
  
2010 Bruno Giacosa, Roero Arneis DOC, Piedmonte: Was $45.00, our price is $39.00 and get the second bottle for $1.00     
  
The knowledge, passion and wisdom that Bruno Giacosa brings to his work as producer of fine wines is the fruit of the dedication of three generations of wine makers.

The family interest in vine cultivation began during the constant search for the best vineyards from which to buy the grapes necessary for wine making. The next step, naturally, was to acquire some of the same vineyards for the family business - and the one after that, to specialise in the Nebbiolo grape and the grand wines made from it.   
 
Dark, straw-yellow colour. Intense, fine and elegantly fruity bouquet reminiscent of  peach, apricot, citrus, fruit and acacia flowers. Fresh and fragrant flavour with soft plentifulness.

 This Week's Village Wine Cellar Features     

 

  • 2011 Rombauer, Chardonnay, Carneros, Napa Valley, 90 pts., Wine Spectator; $39.00: Rich yellow color and becoming more golden with age. Inviting fruit aromas of honeydew, yellow peach and fig are supported by vanilla and caramel. Creamy vanilla integrates with honeysuckle, pineapple and apricot for a fabulous richness on the palate. A luscious mouthfeel leads to a generous and creamy finish. Pleasantly voluptuous from a cooler vintage.
  • 2001 Cakebread Cellars, Chardonnay, Napa Valley; $45.00: Winemaker's notes: Cakebread Cellars' 2001 Napa Valley Chardonnay has a light straw color with a glint of gold. Its aromas are reminiscent of green apples and the faint scent of apricots. There is also the clean scent of mineral that some tasters would describe as being "flinty." On the palate, the flavors closely resemble those of the aromas, but with a very slight buttery finish as well as the subtle hint of vanillin from the French oak in the background. The wine has good depth, with an ideal balance of fruit and crisp acidity. A fresh, silky finish completes what we believe is an outstanding Napa Valley Chardonnay.
  • 2011 Kosta Browne, Chardonnay, One Sixteen, Russian River Valley; $90.00: "One Sixteen" is named for Highway 116, which runs through the Green Valley of the Russian River Valley appellation, where vines grow in sandy, Goldridge soil. According to the winery's tasting notes, it's "a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sweet spot within the Russian River Valley... These sites all have superb micro-climates, offering just the right amount of warmth during the day and very cool nights, which leads to intensely focused wine with generous natural acidity." 
  • 2011 Kosta Browne, Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley; $125.00: This Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is pure, balanced, lush and focused. Rich chocolate covered cherries come to the front, while fresh ripe raspberries, pomegranate and cola develop throughout the palate, all resting generously on the top of the tongue. The lingering finish wraps around your palate with focus and freshness.
  • 2011 Kosta Browne, Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, 90 pts., Wine Spectator; $125.00: The 2011 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir exhibits dark black and blue fruits that drive down the center of your palate and slowly melt into all areas of the mouth. There is focused acidity and a tannic grip that carry the rich dark fruit character towards the midpalate, followed by creamy black cherry, dark plum and dried currants. There is intensity to this wine that is followed by a slow release of complex flavors and textures, leading to a long and lingering finish.
  • 2011 Kosta Browne, Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands, 90 pts., Wine Spectator; $125.00: This wine displays deep notes of orange peel, cherries, and five-spice and is supported by hints of ginger, strawberry and rhubarb. The Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir is a luscious mouth-filling wine. It is deeply structured with supple tannins centered in the mid-palate. A sweet and sour mix of red and black fruits; penetrating red cherry and blackberry dominate, ending in a clean strawberry and dark cherry finish.
  • 2010 Caymus Vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 92 pts., Wine Spectator; $88.00: The nose of this wine is especially interesting to me. There's the presence of a well-cared for, clean farmstead. Possibly the aroma of a freshly opened bale of hay or the combine dust during the summer harvest at my cousins wheat farm in St. John, Washington. This is layered with the fruit components- ripe cherries crushed in a snifter, a subtle smell of ripeness. And a bit of grape pumice at fermentation, rustic. Other nuances come to mind- smoke in a forest cabin, earth, spice and cola.
  • 2010 Caymus Vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon, Special Select, 96 pts., Wine Spectator; $135.00: A seductive style that's openly fruity, showing supple plum and black cherry notes, with floral scents and spices, turning creamy and gaining a mocha-espresso-vanilla scent that's enticing. Finishes with a smooth texture, fine-grained tannins and then another burst of fruit. Drink now through 2025. From California.-J.L.
  • 2011 Castello Banfi, Col di Sasso, Tuscany, 5 Litre; $77.00: One of the best known and appreciated Banfi labels in the world, Col di Sasso, which translates to "Stony Hill", is a blendof Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese cultivated on the mostrocky and impervious slopes of the Banfi estate in Montalcino.The perfect marriage between these two grapes gives birth to ayouthful yet concentrated and extremely fruity red wine.      
  • 2010 Castello Banfi, Centine, Tuscany, 5 Litre; $95.00: Colour: intense ruby red with youthful hints. Bouquet:intense, vinous and spicy in which the Tuscan character of the Sangiovese is perfectly married with the international character of the Cabernet and Merlot. Taste: gentle approach, soft, easy-to-drink. 
  • 2004 Taittinger, Comtes de Champagne, Blanc de Blancs, Brut, 96 pts., Parker; $150.00: "Taittinger's 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is off the charts. I have tasted the 2002 now many times, and it has never been less than thrilling. A vivid kaleidoscope of pure Chardonnay aromas and flavors opens up in the glass. The 2002 is at once incredibly rich yet also totally weightless and impeccable in its balance. All the classic Comtes notes are there, but with a level of detail and nuance I don't think I have ever seen before. The 2002 is breathtakingly beautiful today, but also appears to have the stuffing to age for decades. Personally, I would be looking to buy the 2002 in magnums if at all possible. Sadly, there is little wine to go around as 2002 was a very short crop. Readers who can track down the 2002 are in store for something truly great. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2042."

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.
