Best Selection of 90+ Point Wines Anywhere!!!
We have one of the largest selections of TOP RATED WINES in the nation. Our outstanding
staff selected
many of these wines well before they received outstanding ratings allowing
us to purchase large quantities at bargain prices. These wines all received top honors
from noted wine publications including; Robert Parker's Wine Advocate,
The Wine Spectator, and Stephen Tanzer's International
Wine Cellar.
Best of all, we do not mark these wines up after they received
their high ratings. We maintain our low prices and in many cases we mark down these
wines to ensure that we have the best prices available. If a supplier marks up a wine
after it receives a high rating - we won't offer it to you as we believe we can offer you
outstanding, and high-rated wines, at good prices.
All SALE Wines featured on this page are marked down 10 - 25%. Additionally,
there is a 10% Mixed Case Discount on all non-sale wines. So when you purchase
12 or more bottles of sale and non-sale wines, you get 10% off all the non-sale wines.
You can't beat these wines, or these prices!
NIEL SANTOFIMIA RED 2011, SPAIN
(85% garnacha tintorera and 15% merlot, fermented in stainless steel and then aged for three months in older French oak): Opaque ruby. Black and blue fruits on the highly fragrant, smoke-accented nose. Juicy, penetrating blueberry and bitter cherry flavors display very good clarity and pick up sweetness and spiciness with air. Fine-grained tannins give shape and grip to the long, spicy finish. Superb value here.

TILIA TORRONTES 2011, ARGENTINA
The 2011 Tilia Torrontes is sourced from Cafayate in Salta and sees no oak aging. It has an attractive bouquet of yellow plum, dried flowers and grapefruit that is very well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with light peach notes on the entry. It needs a little more tension, especially on the finish, but it is still endowed with lovely light apricot and buttery notes towards the finish.

BODEGAS BRECA GARNARCHA DE FUEGO OLD VINES 2011, SPAIN
The 2011 Garnacha de Fuego, a 100% Grenache cuvee, was aged in both stainless steel and neutral French oak. There are 10,000 cases for the United States. This amazing wine boasts a dark ruby/purple color along with a sweet kiss of jammy black cherries intertwined with crushed rock notes that give the wine an undeniable minerality. As it hits the palate, a full-bodied, voluptuous texture takes hold and the flavor profile moves towards blacker fruits (ripe raspberries and black currants) intermixed with camphor and forest floor. This full-bodied, rich, glycerin-filled effort should drink well for 4-5 years, perhaps longer.

UVAGGIO VERMENTINO 2011, CALIFORNIA
This is an incredibly priced, low-alcohol sipper that's also complex enough to pair with a range of lighter foods. Its aromas of apricot and sweet peach are most inviting, and the wine also has a saltiness layered around its acidity that hits in the midpalate and then finishes dry. A complex, medium-bodied, layered white that tastes of the sea.
"Made from a hard-to-find variety in California, this bright, beautifully aromatic wine expresses gorgeous scents of jasmine that follow through in flavor to the finish. Its layers of lime, apple and a generous level of minerality are perfectly executed and waiting for seafood."

VINA EGUIA RIOJA CRIANZA 2008, SPAIN
"I was immensely impressed by the two wines that I tasted from
Bodegas Eguia, located in the Alavesa subregion in the village of Elciego. The company was founded in 1982 by Julian Murua,
who resurrected his fathers winery, which had been established
in the 1920s. They both represent outstanding value." - Robert Parker
"The 2008 Vina Eguia Crianza is aged in American oak for 12
months. It offers a crisp, natural bouquet of dark berries, burnt toast and singed leather. The palate is very well balanced, with lithe tannins that caress the mouth. The oak is seamlessly integrated towards the lingering, supple finish. This is a very wellcrafted, natural Rioja."

CAMBRIA KATHERINE'S VINEYARD CHARDONNAY 2009 (HALF BOTTLE), CALIFORNIA
A tribute to Cambria's consistent style and character, Katherine's Chardonnay is a lush, well-rounded wine revealing vibrant tropical flavors folded over hints of vanilla and pear. The finish is enduring, made memorable by notes of vanilla and oak spice.

NORTH BY NORTHWEST RIESLING 2011, WASHINGTON
Golden straw in color with aromas of peach, jasmine, clover, paper whites, and graham cracker. The flavors consist of apricot, mango, lychee, lemon meringue, and citrus. On the palate it is crisp, round, long finish, balanced with dry acidity.
"Quite tart and bone dry, this is made from fruit sourced from the Wallula Benches Vineyarda site also prominently featured in Pacific Rims Riesling lineup. Racy and gin-like in its flavor profile, it emphasizes botanical and citrus notes, with good penetration and length."

DOM LAFAGE GRENACHE NOIR 2010, FRANCE
Proprietor and winemaker Jean-Marc Lafage has fashioned a knock-out red wine that sells for a ridiculously low price. Made from 100% Grenache aged six months on its lees in older barrels, the 2010 Cuvee Nicolas Vieilles Vignes reveals serious glycerin along with a sexy, open-knit, fruit-forward style with oodles of raspberry, black currant, cherry and kirsch liqueur characteristics. Medium-bodied, round, supple, heady and succulent, this is a big, lusty red for true hedonists. It is one of the finest 100% Grenache cuvees currently on the market at this price point and quality level.

ADAMI PROSECCO BOSCO DI GICA N/V, ITALY
This delicious frothy, dry wine has the soft feel typical of great Prosecco. Made just north of Venice, this wine has been the base of the traditional Belini cocktail, combining peach nectar with Prosecco. It is also a great choice to drink by itself. Moderately fine, persistent, and frothy mousse. Lovely, elegant scents of green apples, white wildflowers, minerals, and glazed almonds. The palate is dry but still generous with flavors of yellow cherries and tropical fruits, and a very long finish. Excellent.

COLUMNA ALBARINO 2011, SPAIN
Columna Albarino is the most recent Albariño that we've totally flipped over as it is flat-out delicious. Made from 100% Albariño grapes tended in granite soil, it reveals an inviting bouquet of mineral, nutmeg, lemon, and spring flowers. It has a ripe, savory, concentrated palate with good balance and a vibrant finish. Columna is a very unique expression of Albarino resulting in a style that is bright, floral mineral and rich.
As soon as you pour the 2011 Columna Albariño in the glass the aromas fill the room with fresh flowers. It's extremely bright with clean white fruits, minerals, great acidity, and a long finish.
"A terrific Albariño from vineyards planted in 1978 on granite and slate-based soils, the 2011 Columna Albariño exhibits exotic notes of pineapples, white peaches and honeysuckle, fresh acids, and medium-bodied, intense, concentrated, alluring flavors. Consume it over the next 1-2 years."
