Kingstree Cabernet
This is a tasty little gem unearthed by the pros at Banshee Wines. Banshee, started by three guys who just happened to like wine and wanted an excuse to be out west, hasn't been around long but they sure have kicked off righteously during their short career. They’ve always been focused upon cooler climate sites, especially with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and at the prices they offer their wines, it’s no surprise that things have gone swimmingly well.

Kingstree Chardonnay
Do you want big? I said, DO YOU WANT BIG? Cuz that is what Kingstree is all about. The Chardonnays are unctuous, lush and just plain big. Bring the thunder!

Kingstree Proprietary Red
I'll be honest. Wines of this quality at this price are few and far between as vintners continue to try and stretch their prices further and further. It's a big and bold red from your friends at Pavilion...these guys know what they are doing!

Kuleto Estate Native Son
Pat Kuleto was one of San Francisco’s preeminent restaurateurs when he bought acreage in eastern Napa Valley. They established vineyard sites and started a winery that has since been gobbled up by the Foley empire but that’s not a bad thing. Foley’s wineries always provide first rate value and the Native Son bottling is definitely intended to over-deliver, offering more than the sum of its parts. Its parts? 27% Zinfandel, 22% Malbec, 20% Petite Sirah, 20% Merlot, 11% Tempranillo.

La Cabane aux Oiseaux Sauvignon Blanc
A Bordeaux group making wines since 1949, Producta Vignobles blends this crisp, tangy white from throughout the Bordeaux region, but especially from under-appreciated places like Bergerac. From Sauvignon Blanc with a trace of Semillon, this is the kind of steely, refreshing white wine that comprises a small but significant portion of what has made Bordeaux the centerpiece of French wine production. Drink this well-chilled and with rapidity.

La Croix des Orbinieres Sauvignon Blanc
This sweet little vineyard is located in the Loire Valley, halfway between the famous mansions, Chateau Chambord and Chateau Chenonceaux. Most of the vines are a quarter-century old, on clay and silt soils, locally called “sables de Sologne”; Sologne used to be Louis XIII’s hunting grounds, but Sauvignon Blanc is more planted in the region than hunting blinds today.

La Culottee Rose
This 100% Caladoc wine is barrel-fermented, though it is still recognizably rosé in style. Needless to say, barrel-fermented rosé is anomalous anywhere, much less in southern France. The barrels are over-sized, and the wine has no added sulfur or added yeast. Dry, clean and rather full for a rosé, you can nonetheless drink it chilly on a sunny day, just like you would the rest of the rosés you’re slamming this summer.

La Giaretta Amarone
Amarone is Old School winemaking- drying the grapes before fermentation is the earliest known version of winemaking, dating back to 4th Century BC, at least in print. But Amarone itself is only about a century old in Italy's Veneto; historians think it's because the international market for Venetian wines are geared toward dessert wines, not these crazy rich red wines. So imagine that someone has taken dried grapes and made them into a dry wine meant for food.

Ladron del Palacio
The powers behind Bodegas Lo Nuevo are crucial to the modern success of Spanish wine, especially wines from the Levante, the Africa-facing south. Here the Almansa region grows Garnacha, among other traditional Spanish red grapes, but unlike the oxidized, alcoholic wines of yore, the new wines are bright and sunny with all the original fruits from the grape preserved. Bodegas Lo Nuevo would be the first to insist that their success is conditioned upon old vines grown at high altitudes. Here the Garnacha is at nearly 3500 feet, where the otherwise relentlessly warm temperatures see nighttime cooling into the 40s.

Lafage Miraflors Rose
Dry rose is the flavor of the moment, and southern France is the style's birthplace and homeland. A refreshing blend of Mourvedre and Grenache Gris, more complex than most any dry rose you've ever had.
