Scagliola, Barbera d'Asti "SanSì Selezione" was 64.99 now $47.99
The Scagliolas' top bottling, SanSì Selezione, won three consecutive three glass awards from the Gambero Rosso's Italian Wines guide for the 1999, 2000 and 2001 vintages. Only the finest grapes from the top vintages are used for this luxury cuvée. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in new French barriques, the SanSì Selezione boasts a dense garnet ruby color right to the edge. It releases refined, concentrated notes of small red berry fruit with hints of charred oak, dried leaf and forest floor. The palate is full-bodied but dry, progressing into a lovely, consistent, lingering finish with nuances of licorice. This wine is surely a tribute to the quality of the estate's winemaking.

Chalk Hill Chardonnay was $48.99 now $37.99
Ideal weather through harvest allowed grapes from every block to reach desired ripeness. Aromas are concentrated and complex – white flower, sweet cream, ripe peach, lemon oil and wet stone – leading to a palate anchored with rich minerality and tropical and stone fruit. A clean acidity and mouth-filling texture unite pear, pineapple and sweet orange fruit with subtly sweet brown spice and honeyed toast.

*Merriam Vineyards (Autographed Bottles) Cab Franc was $43.99 now $33.99
This very dark opaque purple colored Cab Franc opens with a mild spicy blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and a bit lively. The flavor profile is a very spicy blackberry with a hint of pepper. The finish is quite dry and its rather noticeable tannins are very nicely extended. This wine would pair well with barbecue short ribs.

*Merriam Vineyards (Autographed Bottles) Cabernet Sauvignon was $38.99 now $29.99
Deep, dark and ruby in color with bing cherry, eucalyptus, strawberry and cedar in the nose. Has flavors of red berries, black cherry and bittersweet chocolate with a medium body. It has an abundant mouthfeel with no hard edges–bright acid, tannins with a slight toast of oak. It has a lasting finish of cassis, cedar and tobacco. Drink now, but will age gracefully for 5-8 years.

Rully 1er Cru-Rabource Grand Vin de Bourgogne was $41.99 now $32.99
This wine has a pretty and very fresh nose of lightly spiced pear and lemon peel. A slight herbal element that is picked up by the racy, crisp and vibrant light to middle weight flavors that possess really lovely delineation on the stony, punchy and refreshing finish. I like the purity here and while a bit more overall depth would be necessary to ascend to the next level, this is really quite good and worth a look." 89 pts.
