Caymus Cabernet
What really needs to be said...??? Chuck Wagner has been producing delicious Cabernet at Caymus for over 30 years (he's got a pretty solid track record)...all things considered, I'd say this is a buy.

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 2009 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 2009 since, well, 2009. So maybe it is. And it is Yummy.

Chehalem 3 Vnyd Pinot Noir
Chehalem has been skillfully crafting Pinot Noirs that straddle the line between friendly and fruity, and toasty and extracted, for years, and they continue to do so as well as any of the best.

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.

Closa Batllet Torroja
Another Priorat producer who decided to utilize the family's old vineyards for a new family label, Closa Battlet is unlike any other Priorat you will taste, in a very good way. 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.

Corasado
Bodegas Lo Nuevo has unquestionably modernized their winery; it’s practically a technical marvel now. But what makes these wines special is the place, Jumilla, with its intense weather. It’s tough ground for most grapes, but Monastrell (the French, who borrowed it from Spain, call it Mourvedre) and Cariñena (once again, a borrowed grape dubbed Carignan by the French) can thrive here.

Dipinti Pinot Grigio
Pinot Grigio just the way you ordered it: light, fruity and refreshing.

Dme Grand Montmirail Deux Juliettes
Heady Grenache and elegant Pinot may seem as far from each other as Moscow and Memphis. But Denis Cheron of Montmirail had just moved from Burgundy and created a co-op in the Rhone in the 60s. He handled a lot of estates’ wines but felt something special was happening at Montmirail. When the owner decided to sell, he offered it first to Cheron who he felt had so improved his wines. It’s a remarkable spot, with vineyards at 1200 feet, among the highest in Gigondas.

Domaine de Ballade
You know the Gascony region from some Three Musketeers movie (or comic book or even real live actual book) but we geeks know it for one of the world’s greatest spirits, Armagnac. Still not all the vines in the area are meant for brandy; an increasing number are giving us tangy, lip-smacking wine from Sauvignon Blanc and Colombard grapes.

Domaine La Garrigue Vacqueyras
As delicious and special as the wines are, my love of Domaine la Garrigue is based as much upon my memory of the place as it is upon the character of the wine they produce. The Bernard family who own La Garrigue also own the beautiful inn and restaurant Les Florets, one of my favorite spots in that glorious region. Oh, yeah, the wine rocks.
