This Week's Blow-out Wine is....
2007 Travaux De Vigne (Work of the Vine)
Napa Valley Pinot Noir
Vintage 2007 is one of California's best in many years, especially for grapes from the Napa Valley. The grapes for this beauty are sourced from some of the top vineyard sites in California. We have featured this wine before and many of you already know how good it is, but for "quality control", we tried it again yesterday and wow!!-we delighted to discover it just keeps getting better and better. After looking at the numbers we quickly discovered that it was our top selling Pinot Noir last year! (over 60 cases)
The 2008 is on the way with a completely different look, and this time the grapes are from the Russian River Valley in Sonoma. So to make room for the new vintage we have the wine at an unbelievable price. Our everyday price is $17.99 (regularly $19.99) but for the lucky few who jump on this deal the price will be
$12.99 per bottle
&
15% discount on a case
The wine will arrive in the Shoppe on Wednesday, March 10th but you can pre-order if you like. Have your credit card ready and call the Shoppe at 980-9995 or email us with the appropriate info at vintagewine@charterinternet.com
The wine will be opened on Wednesday afternoon.
We can not "hold" any wine without payment, sorry.

**2005 BAROLO SALE/PRE-SALE**
Once again, another great vintage for Barolo!
But don't just take our word for it. Here is what The Wine Advocate has to say:
“……So, how are the wines? The answer is far better than I originally expected. The firm tannins the wines showed a few years ago have in many cases softened and the top wines are gorgeous. This is a medium-bodied style of Barolo, with about 1% less alcohol than has become common over recent years. To consumers who have been buying Piedmont wines for several decades, the wines will feel quite classic. In some ways 2005 reminds me of 1979, a vintage of smaller-scaled wines that were largely overlooked on the heels of the monumental 1978s, but that have aged beautifully. In terms of more recent years, 2005 reminds me most of 1993, a vintage in which the wines have developed nicely and are beginning to reach their maximum expression. The 2005s appear to be relatively early-drinking Barolos. Most of the better wines should peak around age 15 in terms of their development, but may continue to hold for sometime thereafter, as the acidities are slightly higher than normal. Readers who love the great Barolos of Piedmont should be enthusiastic about the prospects of a high-quality vintage where the wines won’t require decades of aging prior to reaching maturity.
As I alluded to above, Barolo once again finds itself with another string of potentially outstanding harvests spanning 2004-2008, recalling the unprecedented series of strong vintages from 1996 to 2001……”
