We have put together a list of some cool stuff that is available at incredible prices. Most of the wines are from my favorite region: Burgundy…but there are some other gems…so scroll down. The wines are still not inexpensive but the prices are deeply discounted. This is a great opportunity to stock up on some wines for your cellar. The wine supply is very limited so give us a call or email us. We will get the wines in by the end of this week or early next week. We will need a cc # to hold the wines.
Cheers,
Kristin

2007 Lamy St Aubin Blanc Derrier Chez Edouard 1er Cru
Retail: $54 Best Price: $43
92-94 WINE ADVOCATE
Wine Advocate: Tasted at the Domaine. Again, this is quite closed on the nose with touches of green apple and limestone, although with a couple of swirls it begins to open up nicely. The palate is very attractive with pert green fruits, vibrant, lime and touches of kiwi and passion fruit. This has such vibrant acidity and at the same time immense, life-affirming harmony, then beautiful poise on the finish. Good length with just a hint of orange-blossom on the aftertaste. Exquisite! Drink now-2018. Tasted November 2008.
Burghound: An elegant and exceptionally fresh nose that is ripe, pure and airy offers notes of rose petal, anise, brioche and citrus that introduces racy, chiseled and very finely detailed middle weight flavors brimming with minerality on the superbly long and mildly austere finish that stains the palate with extract. In a word, terrific.
2008 Lamy St Aubin Blanc Princee
Retail: $42 Best Price: $33
90 POINTS WINE ADVOCATE
Wine Advocate: Bottled two weeks ago before tasting, this has a reserved, Zen-like, stony/granite nose with very fine definition. The palate is well balanced with subtle citrus flavours, a hint of dried apricot but more stony in profile with crisp acidity on the flinty finish. Great focus and sense of transparency. Tasted November 2009.
2006 Domaine Jean Chartron Puligny Montrachet Vielles Vignes
Retail: $82.99 Best Price: $55
90 POINTS WINE SPECTATOR
Peach, spice and white chocolate flavors grace this elegant white. Though delicate, it’s detailed, well-integrated and deceptively long on the finish. Drink now through 2012. 250 cases made.

2006 Faiveley Chambolle-Musigny – Burgundy
Retail: $65 Best Price: $50
WINE SENSE RATING: 91 pts
Medium cherry red color with pale meniscus; cinnamon, tart cherry, baked strawberry nose; subtle, soft, tart cherry, strawberry, mineral palate; medium finish.
2006 Faiveley Nuits St Georges - Burgundy
Retail: $75 Best Price: $42
90 WINE ENTHUSIAST
Wine Enthusiast: Nuits-St-Georges is Faiveley’s home base, so they know a thing or two when it comes to making a village wine. This is a wine that manages to combine the mineral toughness of Nuits bottlings with an extra layer of rich plum skin and juice flavor. There is a light strawberry jam character that offers some final sweetness.
2006 Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin - Burgundy
Retai: $80 Best Price: $49
91 WINE ENTHUSIAST
Wine Enthusiast: This Gevrey is luxuriously perfumed, finely structured with dusty tannins and already delicious Pinot Noir. It has a fine strain of acidity, which adds freshness to the solid character.
2006 Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru les Cazetiers - Burgundy
Retail: $100 Best Price: $60
Very Limited
Burghound: As good as the Combe Aux Moines is, this is a distinct step up in virtually every dimension with its spectacular nose featuring ripe, serious and earthy dark pinot fruit, floral and slightly sauvage notes that can also be found on the powerful and amply muscled full-on flavors brimming with dry extract and an explosive, minerally and velvety finish. This is a terrific Caz but be prepared to cellar this beauty for at least a decade as the structural elements are quite firm.
IWC: Medium red. Captivating nose combines bitter cherry, dried flowers, allspice, incense and smoky oak. Then suave, silky and harmonious, with very rich flavors of cherry and smoked meat. This has the plump middle-palate extract to support its serious tannins, which dust the front teeth. Long and sexy on the aftertaste.
2006 Faiveley Clos Vougeot (Grand Cru) - Burgundy
Retail: $200 Best Price: $100
92-95 BURGHOUND
Very Limited
Burghound: “Here the wood is decidedly more discreet with reserved and layered earthy and slightly animale red, blue and violet aromas that introduce delicious, intense and strikingly powerful flavors that are sleekly muscled and possess serious weight and length. Despite the sheer size however, this delivers its punch with both style and grace and I found this to possess simply huge potential. Highly recommended but note that this is crafted in the classic Faiveley old school style and will require as much as two decades to reach its apogee.”
2005 Corte Riva Cabernet Sauvignon - California
Retail: $75 Best Price: $58
94 WINE ADVOCATE
Wine Advocate: The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (also a Napa and Sonoma blend) boasts a deep ruby/purple hue along with aromas of tobacco leaf, creosote, creme de cassis, black tea, incense, and new oak. Muscular, fleshy, full-bodied, and dense with sweet tannin and a long finish, it is accessible, but promises to be even better with 3-4 years of bottle age, and last for two decades.
2004 Corte Riva Merlot - California
Retail: $40 Best Price: $30
91 WINE ADVOCATE
Wine Advocate: Corte Riva’s 2004 Merlot is a wonderful successor to the brilliant 2003. Aromas of chocolate, underbrush, blackberries, cherries, licorice, and espresso roast emerge from this deep, opulent, full-bodied Merlot that coats the mouth. It is ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years.
2005 Hazyblur Shiraz Invictus - Australia
Retail: $115 Best Price: $85
97 POINTS WINE ADVOCATE
Very Limited
Wine Advocate: Hazyblur’s flagship is the 2005 Shiraz “Invictus” Barossa Valley. Sourced from vines at least 50 years of age from the Ebenezer region of Barossa (thought by many to be the finest sub-region of the Valley), the grapes were dried on racks for one week prior to crushing. The fermented juice was aged in 100% new French and American hogsheads for 16 months. The wine is deep crimson/purple with a brooding bouquet of toasty oak, lavender, pencil lead, truffle, plum, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Opulent, even voluptuous on the palate, this Shiraz has all the right stuff but will need 8-10 years of additional cellaring to reveal all of its powerful personality. The wine has enough baby fat to accompany a grilled, dry-aged prime rib-eye but this is one case in which delay of gratification will be well rewarded.
2005 L’Ecole Perigee-Washington State
Retail: $58 Best Price: $45
92 WINE ADVOCATE
Wine Advocate: The 2005 Perigee Seven Hills Vineyard is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc aged in 50% new oak. Dark ruby/purple-colored, it has an alluring perfume of violets, wood smoke, spice box, black currant and blackberry liqueur. Elegant and seamless on the palate, it has superb depth, concentration, and spicy, savory flavors. Give it 4-6 years and drink it from 2012 to 2025.
