JUNE 2008
JAMIE AND ERIC'S TOP 10 PICKS FOR JUNE
This month Jamie and Eric have come up with a mix of great value wines, quaffers, and reasonably priced bottles for the cellar.
| 1. |
2006 Soave Classico, Az. Agr. Prà (Veneto, Italy)
100% Garganega. Top-flight producer crafting wines in a clean yet concentrated style. $19.95 CSPC# 074534
|
| 2. |
2007 Costières de Nîmes Blanc ‘Cuvee Tradition’, Mas de Bressandes (Languedoc, France)
Here is your perfect bistro white. Looks, smells and tastes as it should, like white wine! $12.95 CSPC# 701094
|
| 3. |
2006 Taburno Greco Ocone, Az. Agr. De Monte (Campania, Italy)
Weird and wonky stuff from just outside of Naples. The Greco grape combines candied fruit with a slight nuttiness. $16.95 CSPC# 072231
|
| 4. |
2000 Tokaji Aszú 3 Puttonyos, Château Dereszla (Tokaji, Hungary)
For us Tokaji is so versatile that it doesn’t have to be a dessert wine. Here we have an example overflowing with apricots, caramel and walnuts. $24.95 CSPC# 071498
|
| 5. |
2004 Malbec, Luigi Bosca (Mendoza, Argentina)
We are just crazy for Malbec. This is a juicy, grapey everyday quaffer. $17.95 CSPC# 074922
|
| 6. |
2005 Costers del Segre ‘Vilosell’, Tomàs Cuisiné (Costers del Segre, Spain)
A blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah. Modern wine with plenty of fruit and alcohol in wrapped up in a well rounded, sexy package. $20.95 CSPC# 066928
|
| 7. |
2005 Gigondas, Domaine Font-Sane (Rhône Valley, France)
One great value for the cellar. This Grenache based wine will surprise us in the years to come and it doesn’t break the bank. $24.95 CSPC# 735779
|
| 8. |
2005 Château La Vieille Cure Fronsac (Bordeaux, France)
This is a Bordeaux that keeps producing better wines every year. The 2005 might be the best ever. Hold on to this for at least five more years. $46.95 CSPC# 947127
|
| 9. |
2001 San Leone, Castello Sonnino (Tuscany, Italy)
This estate is almost as famous for its olive oil as it is for its wine. This Super-Tuscan is approaching maturity. Dusty black cherries, leather and bitter chocolate dominate. $46.95 CSPC#066043
|
| 10. |
Château Musar (Bekka Balley, Lebanon)
Gaston Hochar’s wines has developed cult status over the years. One of the world’s most unique reds. Picture a super exotic and wild Châteauneuf-du-Pape. $54.95 CSPC# 708552
