2010 Pape Clément, Pessac-Léognan Pre-Arrival

Yes, this is made in a ripe, extracted style, but it also shows balance and structure. Flavors include bittersweet chocolate, clove and crushed blackberries.

2007 MacPhail "Pratt Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Review Date: 11-5-2010
For those of you who like Pinot with a little more kick, this is a big, dark, chewy Pinot Noir that shows aromas of grilled meats, smoke and spice. The fruit is darker and a bit rougher around the edges, with a classic Burgundy cola note.
Price: $44.99
2005 Joseph Phelps Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 6-18-2008
A very approachable blend of 90% cabernet sauvignon, 6% merlot and 4% petit verdot. About 75% of the fruit came from estateowned vineyards and 25% from independent growers. The 2005 vintage was unusually late due to mild temperatures. The wine shows lush and
creamy in the mouth, with hints of vanilla, mocha, red cherry and plum fruit. Tannins are sweet and integrated.
Price: $49.99
Arette Artesanal Blanco Suave Tequila 750ml
Review Date: 5-20-2008
Arette was founded in 1900 by the Orendain family. Since 1976 it has been produced and bottled by Eduardo and Jaime Orendain in their distillery “El Llano” in Tequila, Mexico. The Blanco is one of the most unique tequilas I have tasted yet. It is very bright and citric, with a lively palate and hints of oak. The Reposado is your sipping tequila: complex, deep and rich. Both are excellent, hand-crafted tequilas that I would highly recommend.
Price: $39.99
