EDITOR’S
CHOICE
“A unique
blend of spice and blueberry sets this Shiraz
apart from
the pack, and it pulls away even further due
to a lush,
creamy texture and long, mouth coating finish.
There’s
great purity to the fruit, but enough peppery
spice for
complexity. Drink now – 2016.”

November 2008
Errazuriz Carmenere Chile 2007 $14.99
Wine Maker Notes:
Deep violet-ruby red, with a nose that starts with notes of sweet
spice and chocolate and leads into black fruit that builds along
with characteristic black pepper notes. Full of rich flavor and
excellent typicity on the palate, with notes of roasted red peppers,
soy sauce, cinnamon, and blackberries, complemented by tobacco and
pencil lead. This is a lush, mouth filling wine with soft, ripe and
very sweet tannins and a firm acidity that refreshes and guarantees
longevity in the bottle.
Carmel Road Chardonnay California 2006 $14.99
Beverage Dynamics
Four Stars July 09
"Rich chardonnay with
pronounced minerality and firm acidity; a fruit forward wine
with a very rich palate of grapefruit, peach and melon flavors
framed with minerality leading to a long, crisp finish."

Allan Scott Sauvignon Blanc New
Zealand 2008 $10.99
Wine Enthusiast
Best Buy
Delicate lime, passion fruit and melon
flavors with a distinct minerality and a tiny bit of well
integrated oak contribute to add a bit more richness then the
typical "grapefruity" New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
Pavilion Crossing Cabernet
Sauvignon California 2007 $11.99
Wine Advocate
"A drop dead value"
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma
County, this wine is a drop dead value. Cedar, sweet black
currant fruit, licorice, and tobacco leaf-like notes emerge from
this spicy, ripe wine. A wonderful discovery, Pavilion Crossing
appears to be making some terrific wines at incredibly low
prices.
Tres Picos Garnacha Spain 2008 $15.99
A consistent 90+ point winner and a great
value

Brindly Gold Coffee & Coconut Rum -
A coffee flavored & coconut flavored rum St. Kitts
Chocovine - Dutch chocolate blended
with red wine. A favorite any time we sample it and after dinner
drink for the holidays.
Saga Vodka -
Distillers Notes:
It should have hints of true
Grain flavor. A subtle aroma. A lingering smoothness. Real vodka
should be something you can smell, sip and savor. When you mix
it, it should reinvent your signature drink. Real vodka should
not have dirty secrets. Because you have to filter those out,
and when you do, you take the good character with the bad.
Saaga 1763 has a perfect
balance of purity and a smooth taste and aroma that retain the
fine character of the Grain. The vital Grain and slow
distillation method provides the unique and original taste of
Saaga 1763.
Saaga 1763
is so smooth you can truly enjoy it like fine cognac: straight
up, slow sipping.
Compare Saaga 1763 vodka
with other vodkas at room temperature and discover the taste the
difference and the purity.
La Playa - A Chilean Carmenere
WINEMAKER'S NOTES: "An alluring example of the Bordeaux
variety that was considered long-lost until it was rediscovered
in Chile a decade ago. Deep ruby color with notes of ripe red
fruits, spices, tobacco, pepper and cedar. On the palate it is
very approachable thanks to its ripe tannins and good balance,
with notes of blackberry jam, dark chocolate and sweet fruits,
plus a long, pleasant finish."
