\"\"<\/a>Happy hump day to all of you!\u00a0 We have a big wine tasting tomorrow, but let’s taste a couple of great wines today!\u00a0 I have a Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon and Giesin Sauvignon Blanc from New Zeland ready to taste!<\/p>\n

Decoy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($24.99) – For years now Duckhorn Vineyards has produced a Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend under the Decoy label, and Duckhorn fans have enjoyed its distinctive forward style and its first rate quality at a great price. \u00a0Well the people at Duckhorn knew a good thing when they saw it, and they expanded the Decoy line into varietal wines like this lush Cabernet Sauvignon. \u00a0Accessing prime grapes from vineyards throughout the Napa Valley they’ve created this value Cab that’s pure Napa and drinking beautifully right now. Of course they blended in 18% Merlot (it is Duckhorn after all) and aged it in French oak for 12 months. \u00a0All for Under $25. \u00a0Their latest Estate Cab release from ’07 earned 95 points,(which I am lucky to still have in stock in full and half bottles!) so you can imagine if any of that fruit contributed to Decoy, it’s a crazy value!<\/p>\n

Giesen Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand ($11.99) – Has pronounced grass and herb aromas with nuances of evergreen trees, lemon slices and green apples. Medium bodied, crisp and dry with very good concentration and a long finish, this great value is a fine example of this style!<\/p>\n

Upcoming Events!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look for tomorrow’s email for a big announcement.\u00a0 I’m looking to do something extra special for valentine’s day.\u00a0 The details are almost done, but I need one more day to finalize it.\u00a0 It means I will be open on Monday for a very special event.\u00a0 This will also give all of you one more day to buy your valentine’s day wine.<\/p>\n
