November Selections

Three wines of outstanding quality and value, with extra savings on the triplet.

$35.58/ triplet

2006 Zeni Costalago Rosso Veronese IGT Verona, Italy $13.99/ btl
We love the wines from Verona, and we love the reds like Amarone della Valpolicella, but sometimes they can be overkill on the palate and on the pocketbook. Zeni winery comes through with this blend of Corvina, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot that delivers both the juicy plum and chocolate aromas of Valpolicella and the graceful cassis laden power of the Super Tuscan wines. This is the affordable equivalent of the Palazzo Della Torre we know and love.

2007 Chateau Laulerie Blanc Bergerac, France $12.99/btl
Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc from the source in the Bergerac region near the city of Bordeaux. Semillon adds a silky, rich quality to Sauvignon Blanc's bright citrusy character in delicious harmony with its fresh, clean aromatics of lemon and mineral. This is the white wine to start your gathering with, even before guests arrive!

2005 Vinos De Arganza Flavium Crianza Bierzo, Spain $12.99/btl

Let's say you had Thanksgiving dinner smack dab in the middle of Spain near Leon in the Bierzo region and couldn't find a good Pinot Noir. Here is what saves the meal: the Mencia grape. Light, almost crisp red berry and juicy blueberry notes make this ideal for poultry and roasts. Certainly a contender for best red grape to bring to the Holiday table. Grate some nutmeg in your pan gravy and sip a glass of this, you'll understand where we're coming from!
