Black Slate Gratallops Priorat
Priorat is for people who want big wine, gorilla big, glowering and roaring in front of winedom's schoolchildren. This wine is a perfect example of that - and in terms of Priorat is a real value.

Bodegas Ego Marionette
This is what Jumilla does in spades: to produce wines at a very friendly price point and with Mediterranean Spanish richness, all with the balancing acidity gained from higher elevation sites.

Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon
Chuck and his family, as you probably know, are virtual dynamos in the California wine business, with Joe Wagner, his son and the grandson of Chuck Sr. one of the great pioneers of Napa, producing Pinot Noir in Oregon as well. Chuck and his other son Charlie and daughter Jenny, continue to make Caymus the grand Napa benchmark that it is. So when he makes a tasty little blend like this, it makes sense to buy some and enjoy them tonight.

Ca' Momi Rosso
If a trio of transplanted Italian winemakers in Napa don't know how to blend an ideal 'house wine', I don't know who would. Their Rosso is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Petit Sirah.

Cantine Povero Dolcetto
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but it’s summer, as in real summer, with dogs panting in the shady corners or simply collapsed in the middle of the sidewalk. I need refreshment. Big reds busting their buttons with tannin and alcohol? Not so much. But this wildly fresh, raspberry scented fruit bomb? Absolutely. The importer may hate me for saying it but you won’t mind this straight out of the fridge

Cary Potet Bourgogne
Though this domaine’s claim to fame is Montagny, they have traditionally produced Pinot Noir as well, and the new owners have applied their centuries’ long experience to craft delicate, gentle red Burgundy. They are organic, hand-harvested and the wine sees mostly used oak with long settling in tanks to preserve those delicacies: roses, strawberries, bing cherries and mushrooms.

Cary Potet Montagny
Cary Potet is an ideal example of hidden Burgundy; the label disappeared after being imported by a small producer for years. Some importers were adept scroungers of the French retail shelves and years later they spotted the Cary Potet label. These folks, the Desfontaine family, have been making wine for 12 generations and their family motto is ‘Ex Nihilo Nihil’: nothing comes from nothing. But from hard work, delicious wine can be coaxed from the old stones.

Casarena Estate Red Blend
Mariano Quiroga Adamo is a young winemaker who is successfully making trouble in Argentina with new ideas and energy. His wines are drawing attention to some old and venerated vineyards as well. This red is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Malbec (that blend alone is still unusual, though it should not be) and is from vines some as old as eighty years, at high elevations (3,120 feet). I’m not sure what you think of Argentine wines, but this is truly sexy stuff and you should try it.

Chateau Pas De L'Ane
This little property lies on the sandy side of Saint Emilion and, like some of its peers, has gained in power and complexity over the past decade as the owners adopt more stringent winemaking processes and the vines get older. Bear in mind too that this is from the 2014 vintage, you know, the vintage of the century? Of course, we say that the Bordelais claim a vintage of the century every other year, except there hasn't been a vintage like 2014 since, well, 2014. So maybe it is. And it is Yummy.

Clandestin Les Semblables
This is unusual stuff: 100% Pinot Noir Champagne that is hand harvested, undergoes natural yeast fermentation with carbonic maceration, and is aged in French oak barrels. This is the first release of this new cuvee; it’s from far cooler sites than most Pinot Noir vineyards and expresses a bright, crunchy, tart character, then it’s bottled with no dosage at all.
