terra firma wines

One reason I like doing business with all my different distributors is you never know when a very nice wine at a great price will show up.

Vina Robles Rose 2007 light salmon color, soft red fruits and a touch earthy...perfect for this time of year at only $7

Chevalier de Dyonis Pinot Noir Romania a rustic color, soft earthy nose and nice cherry fruit, just the right earthy or mushroom quality. very good for the money at around $7 also

Little Canyon Vin de Pays grenache and syrah...purple in the glass, earthy on the nose and green on the palate. there are some fruits that come through but the green rustic notes overpower.

Couron Cotes du Rhone Villages 2007 from what is going to be the great rhone vintage of 07...village wines are more selective than regular Cotes are... dark fruit and spice. will be in the store around $15

Dolce Stilnova from Cantina Aurora a non vintage sweet pink almost the color of raspberry moscato...no spritz but it had been opened for a time...quick finish. but probably will be popular in the summer tasting on June 18
