North Berkeley Imports with Chris Poulos

North Berkeley is a supplier that sometimes has great value wines esp from the south of france.

Destefanis Dolcetto d'alba 2006 tank fermented and just a little too green for me.. i remember when I loved dolcetto and I think why is they are good starter wines for piedmont area

Laila Verdicchio 2006 lush, fruity, citrus and pears...nice

Mattes Sabran Le Viala 2004 Corbiere dark and cloudy.. strong and brooding and not in a good way.

Clearwater Creek Cab Sonoma 2006 fruity, tannins and unusual nose though

Margelleau Vouvray Brut 2005 dry chenin, tough finish, almost like a prosecco...and i dont like prosecco

Mesa Cab 2005 one note charlie and dont even get me started on the label, looks like a silhouette of a ice cream cone top or worse.
