The Last Great Wine I Had

'08 Joel Gott Zinfandel California
everyday low price $14.99
This Zinfandel displays good balance. Dark cherry fruit is subtle yet noticeable. The finish is where this wine shines, very mellow with a touch of tannin. Highly recommended. -Rich1/13/2010

'05 Rosenblum Syrah Abba Vineyard Lodi, CA everyday low price $15.99 Dark berry fruits coat the palate. Leathery, chocolatey tannin on the finish. Open 45 minutes to an hour before drinking. -Rich 88pts Wine Specator

'06 St. Francis "Old Vines" Zinfandel Sonoma County, CA

Everyday Low Price $23.99

This big, expressive red overdelivers for the price. 15 months in American oak gives this wine a deep color and richness of mouthfeel. The finish is surprisingly mellow for such a big zinfandel - Rich

1/7/10 '07 Columbia Crest Cabernet H3 Horse Heaven Hills,WA Everyday Low Price $13.99 If this light to medium bodied red is any indication, we will be enjoying the 2007's from Washington State for some time. -Rich 90pts. Wine Spectator

'08 Alba Vineyards Riesling Finesville, NJ

Everyday Low Price $12.99

A floral nose leads to a clean finish of honey & melon in this American Qualitatswein. Great to pair with the heat of Thai or Indian foods. -Rich

This stainless steel fermented chardonnay has a light bubbly effervescence.

Would make the perfect pairing with linguini & clam sauce. -Rich
