JANUARY 5, 2008 - VINTAGES RELEASE
#53520 - 2004 De Sousa Unoaked Chardonnay - $13.95. Anyone looking for a ray of sunshine during the dreary winter months will pick this up.
#677450 - 2006 Dog Point Vineyard Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc - $21.95. Wine Spectator, Josh Raynolds, Michael Apstein, and Winestate Magazine all scored this wine 91 points. Vintage Direct of Melbourne gave it a score of 96 points and 5 stars for value. Bingo!
#656637 - 2006 Water Wheel Memsie 87% Shiraz/ 7% Cabernet Sauvignon/ 6% Malbec - $14.95. Jay Miller and Josh Raynolds and Vintage Direct all scored this wine 90 points. Bingo!
#980631 - 2005 St. Hallet Faith Barossa Shiraz - $19.95. Wine Spectator scored this 90 points & Smart Buy and Vintage Direct scored it 92 points; Gordon Stimmell rated it 90 points as well.
#606236 - 2006 d'Arenberg The Stump Jump 48% Grenache / 28% Shiraz / 24% Mourvedre - $13.95. A reasonably priced, reliable Rhone-style quaffer.
#665125 - 2003 Camelback Rockbank Vineyard Shiraz - $19.95. I admit a bias towards wines from Victoria and this one should "sing".
#48629 - 2004 Concannon Limited Release Petite Syrah - $16.95. Could peel enamel off your teeth since it is neither Syrah nor Petite. :-)
#58172 - 2002 Lammershoek LBV Vintage Zinfandel - $18.95. Vic Harradine scored it 4 1/2 stars out of 5. Fortified at 16.5%, it should offer strength to endure winter.
#60731 - 2001 Vaeni Naoussa Xinomavro - $14.95. Lamb souvlaki, lamb chops, lamb... (you get the idea)
#39883 - 2005 Papa Luna - $16.95 - From Spain, this is a blend of GSM. Scored 5 stars out of 5 by Cuisine Magazine of New Zealand.
#47647 - 2006 Ingoldby McLaren Vale Chardonnay - $14.95. James Halliday scored it 92 points. Kemenys scored it 90 points and notes it has won a Trophy and Gold at wine shows.
533208 - 2005 Glass Mountain Napa Chardonnay - $13.85 - January 5, 2008 Vintages : Info sheet
#54098 - 2004 Zolo Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - $16.95. Wine Spectator scored it 87 points. David Lawrason of Toronto Life scored it 90 points. Good wine at a fair price.
#54502 - 2004 Haras Character Cabernet Sauvignon - $17.95. The owner is a top horse breeder so naturally his gravity-fed winery was built in the shape of a horseshoe. 1% Shiraz was mixed for some complexity and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
#62232 - 2004 Chateau de Malle Sainte-Helene AC Sauternes - $19.95.
#650960 - 2005 Perrin & Fils Cairanne Peyre Blanche - $17.95.
#10330 - 2002 Spadina Uno Rosa Signature Nero d'Avola - $19.95. A repurchase from a 2007 Release which appeared on the Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2005.
#328997 - 2005 Illuminati Riparosso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo - $12.95. Match with any food that has tomato sauce.
