2007 J. Runquist "Z" Amador County Zinfandel
(out of stock)
Review Date: 9-17-2010
One of my favorite zins in this price range and in the Amador/Napa style. Very consistent year on year. Alcohol not overpowering.
Price: $19.99
2008 Sean Minor "Four Bears" Carneros Pinot Noir
(out of stock)
Review Date: 9-17-2010
Unbelievable for the price. Carneros pinot for 13.99 that blows many value-priced names in the same year/AVA out of the water.
Price: Hidden
Deligeroy Cremant de Loire Brut
Review Date: 9-17-2010
Lovely stuff. Excellent QPR. Tiny, creamy bubbles.
Price: $11.99
2005 Clos Tita "Gironde" Santa Cruz Mountains Red Wine
(out of stock)
Review Date: 9-10-2010
A value-priced Santa Cruz Mountains classic, with enough bottle age to be drinking beautifully tonight? Yes please. Back up the truck. At $20, its a bargain. At its original $30, its fairly priced among its peers.

2006 Domaine les Pallières Gigondas
(out of stock)
Review Date: 8-17-2010
At the 23.99 club price, this has to be the best "drink-now" Gigondas value on the market. After 30 minutes decanting, it transforms into an ultra-smooth wine packed with the dark fruit and leathery/gamey flavors that we know and love in this region. After a glass of this, I asked myself: "Why not buy more of the excelent 05 and 06 vintages, which are selling off at a dramatic rate due to the early buzz of 2007?"

2001 Fromm "La Strada" Pinot Noir Marlborough New Zealand
(out of stock)
Review Date: 7-12-2010
Very frustrated with this one. Nothing left in this wine, and if the rest of the lot is like this, K&L should know better than to sell off a lot of wine that is tired.
Price: $9.99
2007 Passopisciaro Passopisciaro Sicily IGT
(out of stock)
Review Date: 7-7-2010
Hmm. A nice wine, but not $30 nice to me. When there are so many barberas to be had in the 10-20 range, I think this one could easily be skipped. (BTW, not sure what this grape is, from Sicily, but not nero d avola. I would easily misguess it as barbera.)
Price: $29.99
2007 Tenuta di Biserno Insoglio del Cinghiale
(out of stock)
Review Date: 7-7-2010
A great super Tuscan value, especially appealing to those who like them more modern and Parkerized in style. This particular vintage is excellent -- could easily pass for $50-60 wines in the same region on average years. The only challenge I have is that I seek more earthy, leathery, herbal flavors in these kinds of wines.
Price: $18.99
2008 Ermacora Friulano
(out of stock)
Review Date: 7-7-2010
It's a beauty. One of my summer house whites. Great introduction to Tocai Friulano...oops, now just Friulano. This has that steel/acid/minerals gestalt that the US winemakers find it so hard to duplicate.
Price: $9.99
2008 Alois Lageder Biodynamic Beta-Delta Chardonnay/Pinot Grigio
(out of stock)
Review Date: 7-7-2010
Chardonnay and pinot gris are often strange bedfellows to me, but not in this case. It's a great summer wine...well, anytime wine.
Price: $9.99
