\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Saarstein Riesling from Germany ($17.99)<\/strong> – \u00a0A new Riesling I just got in the shop this week.\u00a0 A brisk, electric white, with peach, ripe apple and mineral flavors vibrating off the laser like structure.<\/p>\n

Simonsig Chenin Blanc from South Africa ($15.99)<\/strong> – \u00a0Simonsig Chenin Blanc 2011 is 100% Chenin Blanc. It is vibrant bright straw in color. On the nose the wine is leaping out of the glass with aromatics of ripe tropical fruits like pineapple, ripe pear, guavas and a hint of floral notes. Sun ripe grapes add to concentration of complex fruit flavors on the palate with hints of honey and raisins. The wine has a fresh crispy and smooth silky texture on the finish.<\/p>\n

Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais Nouveau from France ($11.99)<\/strong> – \u00a0The Beaujolais Nouveau celebration continues!\u00a0 Showing a hint of banana, this is aromatic and fresh, offering flavors of blackberry and currant, joined by subtle herb and spice notes. Juicy finish.\u00a0 ” Summer has finally settled in Burgundy and Beaujolais. Weather has been beautiful with bright, sunny and warm days and\u00a0 cool nights, except these last days. Under those circumstances ripeness has nicely progressed. There is still an heterogeneity\u00a0 between the grapes and the parcels because of the long flowering season in the spring. We have noticed grapes with a small\u00a0 number of berries and others more compact with a classic Gamay look. The volume of the crop will still be one of the smallest\u00a0 we have ever seen. The harvest date is expected around September 10th and if the weather remains nice the quality\u00a0 of the Beaujolais Nouveau could be good to very good because of the small yield giving more flavors concentration. – August 22nd 2012.” -Joseph Drouhin<\/p>\n

Renwood Premier Old Vine Zinfandel from California ($19.99)<\/strong> – \u00a0This wine has a nose of exotic spices and dried fruits. This classis old vine character also exhibits notes of lavender. On the palate full in body and very ripe the dark fruit on the first taste melds into mildly spicy fruit with a hint of roasted coffee towards the end. Overall this dusty and bold wine offers ample flavor..<\/p>\n

Rex Hill Willamette Valley Pinot Noir from Oregon ($35.99)<\/strong> – \u00a0Beguiling aromatics of Bing cherries, ripe raspberries, huckleberries, pomegranate, violets sandalwood, earch and wood smoke develop into deeper notes of coffee, tobacco, cloves, black fruit and soft leather. The palate intrigues with red, blue and black fruit flavors, appealin spice and minerals framed by delicate, ripe tannins. The wine’s structure builds gradually through the mid-palate reflecting its intensity balance and potential for longevity. This wine is pure example of Oregon Pinot Noir from a classic vintage.<\/p>\n
