one of the premier suppliers for value wines from the old world...several of their wines have been staples in my corner for many years.
Val de Sil 2007 Godello mineral, a little herbacious and just a little too dry
Roger Champault, Sancerre 2007 sauvignon blanc as its meant to be.. light yellow/green
rounder than most sancerre i have had and still it was all stainless steel, stirred on lees i imagine, just a hint of sweetness that surprised me
Espelt Saulo Red 2007 from emporda region of spain near the french border.. a little green on the nose, grenache and carignan blend... rustic through and through...a little alcoholic on the palate... but a cute label and it tasted better after being open a few minutes.
L'hortus Rouge, Pic saint loup, Coteaux languedoc, 2007 syrah, grenache and carignan. really beautiful nose, with mocha and red cherry fruit on the palate...
Artadi Pagos Viejos Rioja 2007 beautiful fruit...dark and potent..long tannic finish..tempranillo
Aalto Ribero del Duero 2005 cedar, earth and fruit on the nose, long long finish...french oak...tempranillo...in 5 hours open I bet it would rival any big california cab,
