Torciano-brunello Di Montalcino
No other Italian DOC has risen to such prominence as Brunello di Montalcino. This small Tuscan district around the hill town of Montalcino has become the darling of wine connoisseurs around the world. Here the Sangiovese Grosso yields wines with sensual aromas. The fragrances of Licorice,smoke,violets,truffles,incense,and raspberries have all been found in these wines. By law Brunello must be aged a minimum of 3 1/2 years in oak barrels. Now we are proud to add the Brunello of Tenuta Torciano to our offering. The quality of Pierluigi Giachi's wines have proven themselves over the years.
Chassagne-montrachet-rouge
An absolutely deliciously mouth-watering wine. Rich, fruity pinot with sultry, silky overtones of polished wood. Doudet-Naudin has turned out a tremendous red wine in a district best known for its whites....although connoisseurs have followed Chassagne's Pinot noir's for years.
"evillabellini"e Amarone Classico D. Valpolicella
After a hiatus of 2 years, the fabulous Villabellini Amarone is back! This wine is packed with rich, deep fruit. The popularity of Amarone has exploded in the last couple of years and this Classico from Corvina and Rondinella grapes is one of the finest examples to be found ... this is the second highest rated Amarone by the Beverage Testing Institute over the last 6 years. Sleek, plummy, sweet, and fragrant.
Ch.petit Fombrauge-st. Emillion Grand Cru
This 17th century Chateau was named after the winegrower, Dumas de Fombrauge, and was originally a monastery. It is also one of oldest properties in St.Emilion (the oldest district in Bordeaux). Since 1989 the quality of this estate has shown a sharp upward curve. The 1997 has exceptional depth with solid tannins, and a medley of ripe fruits, spices and vanilla. A really super Bordeaux!
Michel Labbe 1er Cru Champagne
Michel Labbe is a grower first and foremost, and his harvest is eagerly sought by the big houses in Epernay. However, a small portion of his crop goes into his private blend, a source of much pride for Mrs. Labbe, if not much profit. His Champagne is regularly touted in the Wine Guides of Hachette and Gault-Millau. An excellent, creamy wine with a Premier Cru appelation.
Torley Charmant Rouge(red)
	A really rare find in a RED sparkling wine, mild and fruity. You will love this one. This "Specialty" Sparkler is made by a Century old Cellar in Budapest Hungary,a highly desired Sparkling wine by Europeans. We have the first cases ever in the US market.
Juve' Y Camps Extra Brut Spanish Cava
	This crisp, toasty Spanish sparkling (Cava) is the finest produced in the country and has been selected by King Juan Carlos as the "House Cava" of the Spanish Royal Family. Made entirely from free-run juice (the juice which results from the natural crushing caused by the weight of the grapes themselves and not the use of a press), the sparkling is allowed to age in the bottle for 3 to 5 years after a gentle "cool fermentation" processing.
Tuscan Torciano Baldassarre
A new vintage of the terrific Baldassarre from Tenuta Torciano. This magnificent blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot(1/3 each) comes to us from Pierluigi Giachi! Aged in chestnut and oak barrels, the wine achieves incredible balance between rich plummy fruit and measured hints of the wood. These special Tuscan 'blends' do not conform to the local requirements for the various appellations(Chianti, etc.). They may not be classified as DOC wines, but they have received a special category of 'Indicazione Geografica Tipica', which replaces their 'Table Wine' designation.
Cabernet Sauvignon - Eger
	This one outsells every other wine we carry. If you have never found a red you enjoy this is a must-have. From the moment you open the bottle the fragrance of ripe black cherry just consumes you. This is the most elegant Red Ausbruch we have ever had. The texture is light and silky and the taste unbelievable. It is jam packed with intense raspberry and current flavors, followed by that lively black cherry coming through at the finish. A remarkable wine, and one that you are not likely to find anywhere else in the world outside Hungary.
River Road Proprietor's Reserve Chardonnay
	Gary mills has provided us with this fine wine for 9 years now. With fine balance, this wine features lively fruit acidity with warm overtones of new oak barrels. A perfectly delightful Sonoma Chardonnay which is certain to please those of you who keep coming back for more or first time enthusiasts!
Tenuta Tociano-"fragolino"
	The Fragola grape is often known as the Uva Americana, since it was originally brought from the United States to Italy. In Italy it is used to make a quite unique semi-sparkling wine of exceptional fruit. This unusual wine has a pronounced flavor of strawberries,hence its name, Fragolino, which is Italian for strawberry. Enjoy this lovely wine young and nicely chilled. Remarkably refreshing!
