Here are Jamie and Eric's Top Ten picks for September.

2006 Chardonnay ‘Unoaked’, Calamus Estate (Niagara, Canada)

2006 Torrontes ‘Alta Vista’, La Casa del Rey (Mendoza, Argentina)

|
| 6. |
2001 Ribera del Duero Crianza, Torrederos (Ribera del Duero, Spain)
A very fruity and expressive Temprenillo. There is a touch of oak, but other than that the palate is pure strawberry, raspberry, cherry and vanilla. $18.95 CSPC # 40808
|
| 7. |
2005 Syrah ‘Central Coast’, Qupé (California, U.S.A.)
From Cali’s true Rhone Ranger. Medium weight, fresh plumy juiciness. Nice to compare with the above Vins de Vienne. $24.95 CSPC # 655878

2001 Brunello di Montalcino, Fattoi (Tuscany, Italy)
Small boutique producer at an affordable price. Classy Brunello. Black cherries, earth, leather and forest floor notes come to mind. $39.95 CSPC# 33498

2003 Chateau La Croix Canon (Canon Fronsac, Bordeaux, France)
Remarkably concentrated, succulent and black-curranty. At this price claret lovers can finally relax. $27.95 Rouge et Blanc 416.858.0864

Something really special for the cellar………………….
2005 Chablis ‘Grenouilles’, Louis Michel (Burgundy, France)
