June Specials
2009 Abad Dom Bueno Godello~Bierzo, Spain
Jim's Comments-I love this white grape for its dry, clean minerality and for its citrus and pear-skin fruit flavors. The Godello has the ability to call to mind a cool mountain stream, and make you hungry for freshly caught seafood and grilled chicken.

2007 Real De Aragon Granacha~Calatayud, Spain
Jim's Comments-This is one of the WOW wines this month. Fantastic plumb and cherry with an expressive nose of light spice and cassis. On the palate it has a touch of silky tannin, good floral aspect, and a great long dry finish. This wine is tough to do justice to in a short description but it is one of our best deals.

2005 '1707 Crianza'~Almansa, Spain Super Sold Out!
This 2005 blend of 25% Monastrell, 20% Petit Verdot, 20% Syrah, 20% cabernet Sauvignon & 15% Merlot rocked me as I tasted it. I tried 15 different Spanish wines to pick this month's specials and this was my favorite. The complexity was amazing, soft on the palate, lovely floral tone and just the right hint of spice. They only had 5 1/2 cases so I bought them all. When you are looking for an impressive wine to serve this one is a winner.

Chardonnay specialist Sarah Quider is the force behind Ferrari-Carano's beautiful Chardonnays. Working with only estate fruit from the Carano family's holdings, Sarah specializes in small lots of wine with her boutique Chard, the Tre Terre
Jim's Comments: A delicious Chardonnay that is creamy to the taste and flavors of apple, pear, coconut, vanilla cream and crème brulee. Very much in the style of a Meursault from Burgundy. This one rivals +California's finest with its sophistication at a fraction of the cost of the big boys- a don't miss.
