4 Fantastic Finds!


Sample Tasting, originally uploaded by mitchancona.

Sample Tasting

It's a difficult job but somebody has to do it. Thursday is our sample day. Vendors stop by with new wines that they would like us to carry. We taste though the wines and make our selections. This week we waded through 30 or so wines and came away with 4 winners that will be added to our selection ASAP.~Mitch

2007 Albet i Noya Old Vine Xarel-Lo (organic)

Spanish (Penedes) 100% Xarel-Lo- Clear Light straw color, aromas of almond, cream, lemon. Very crisp and lively on the tongue, clean pure citrus flavors, slightly sour refreshing finish. Perfect with light seafood fare.~Mitch

2007 Dom De Pellehaut

French (Cotes De Gasconge)- Clear light straw color with hints of green, clean minimalistic nose of lime and bread. Crisp lemon and lime, zingy and zippy. Inviting slightly bitter finish. Warm weather thirst quencher.~Mitch

2003 Domaine de Murmurium Cotes du Ventoux Cuvee Opera

Ok. Baby Chateauneuf du Pape, this wine is impresive.... very dense and intricate, pretty full bodied syrah-grenache blend wine that makes me scratch my head wondering if this indeed is just a Cote du Ventoux, delicious wine.~Dan
