For years, there's been a disconnect between what people say makes a great California vintage, and what they want from their California red wines. They say that a long, cool vintage makes for a great wine (it does) but they seem to prefer wines that are overripe, powerful, high in alcohol and lack balance.

Maybe that style of wine is on the wane; the world's greatest wine writer, Jancis Robinson, has penned a recent piece offering that prediction. I don't know that Americans are quite ready to give up on their powerhouse Napa Cabs. I think they're crazy, but they have a right to their own opinions or why else would refer to that sort of thing as "taste"?

Still, the California vintages that get bally-hooed are the cooler, longer ones, such as 2005 and 2007. In 2007, some folks picked early; you could do that if you wanted. But September turned cool and turned the ripening down from 11 (on the Spinal Tap scale) to something close to 2 or 3. The rain didn't hit till late October.

Those who wanted to make overripe wines could do so. Those who want to drink them can do so, as far as I'm concerned, and you can have my portion too. But a lot of producers took what nature gave them and made wines with some of the fruit purity and balance of 2005, and some of the weight and power of 2004. Yields were down, sometimes as much as twenty percent, and that's not always a great thing in California – it can lead to over-ripening with the grapes that are left out there. But in this case, it added intensity.

When the vintage charts are updated a few years from now, I don't know what will be said for sure. But I know what I think: 2007 may be the best vintage among the "naughts", with 2005 and 2002 close behind.

We'll see you on Saturday and Happy New Year!

Charles Smith Eve Chardonnay Washington State, 2007

$13.99 at Winestore

This very tasty chardonnay has a wonderful fresh-apple flavor, with a hint of mineral and a kiss of oak. It's a terrific selection by the glass or with a meal, and is one of those wines that's so versatile to have around, you may want to snag a couple of bottles. It's from a winemaker I'm crazy about - the fun, eccentric Charles Smith. Check out his Web site, www.charles smithwines.com , for several other wines in the lineup that are worth trying.

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone the holiday party season is in full swing. You've probably received multiple clever invitations and sent at least one of your own, but the question remains: what wines should I serve and what exactly makes a wine a good "party" wine.

We've put together some simple guidelines for you to follow in the hopes of making your life easier this holiday season. Remember, these aren't rules (we don't like rules), merely some suggestions. Rules are for wine snobs, and let's face it, you didn't invite them to your party anyway.

#1. Party wines need the ability to pair with many different foods.
It's a pretty safe bet that you're serving a wide variety of foods and need a wine that goes with everything from cheese to those mini cocktail wieners. You'll probably never hear Bob Parker say, "This cab is a hedonist's delight, filled with black fruits and perfect for cocktail wieners." I really wish he would though. With this in mind, you might want to find a Red and White that are overall crowd pleasers and don't paint yourself into a corner with an obscure wine that tastes like "Chestnuts and shoe leather" or anything like that.

#2 Budget, Budget, Budget
If your friends are anything like mine, then they tend to sport-drink at parties. Basically they only notice the wine if it's REALLY bad. Other than that, they just happy to be socializing with friends and even though the wine may be delicious, it's not likely to be the first thing on their mind. Given this, there's really no need to break the bank when buying a case or more of party wine (hence our 15% discount). I know, you never expect your average retailer to tell you "spend less money," but we didn't set out to be an average retailer. We figure that Charlotte has plenty of those.

#3 Easy Access?
If there's ever a time in life where a screw cap comes in handy, it's when Cheryl from the office just polished off her third bottle of Chard and you're in charge of opening the wines. Just a thought.

#4 Experiment
Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. Try an Albarino instead of Pinot Grigio, or a Grenache instead of Cab. It's your party and a perfect time to introduce your friends to some wines that they may or may not ever had before. You'll probably be surprised by their response. Besides, what better impression to leave on your guests than "Amy really knows her wines." You can just smile, nod, and never tell them that it was $9.

#5 The only rule is that there are no rules
Well, actually, there is one rule. Don't drink and drive. Other than that, have fun, be goofy, and enjoy the time with your friends and family. If the wine is preventing your friends from having fun, then you should consider revising your invitation list.

Cheers!

Saturday December 5th, 2009
11am - 8pm
All Day Long!

Back in September we got crazy with some high-end wines. In truth, I think a lot of us expected the other economic shoe to drop before we saw September and October in the rear-view, but it didn't happen. It STILL hasn't happened. Heck, maybe everything's okay!! Maybe it's time to, if not party like it's 1999, maybe we can party like it's 2007 or some other time when we thought that any bubble that popped would simply be replaced by another, and all we had to do was to just keep running to the next financial trinket, and, oh, there I go again. It's the holidays, people! Let's focus on the good stuff! We have our health and our families and friends and all, and even if we don't have our jobs, in the immortal words from the film Raising Arizona (spoken as career advice to a young Nicholas Cage), "You're young. You've got your health. What do you need a job for?" This Saturday, we've got some wines you just have to try, even if buying such wines becomes a matter of parsing bottles, rather than cases. For one, we've got the 2007 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauenuf-du-Pape and, yes, everything you've heard about the 2007's is true. Just because the clueless people who thought 2003 was a great vintage are saying it, that doesn't make it a lie. The 2007's are gorgeous, just like the 2005's were, and the 2004's and 2006's ain't that bad either. But for now, you can wallow in the lushly layered fruit of 2007 from Beaucastel, a benchmark for Chateauneuf and, maybe some people would say, THE benchmark for Chateauneuf. Caymus Special Select Cabernet Sauvignon has always been rich and powerful but these days it seems more like a graceful Napa Cab than most of the newly minted names in Napa. And this is from the 2007 vintage: up there with 2002 and 2005 (in my pantheon) as one of the three vintages that will probably matter when the dust settles from this decade. Then there's the 2007 El Nido, which is a whole 'nother level of jam, even if it probably lacks the complexity and certainly lacks the balance of Beaucastel. You know what? Stuff like balance really doesn't become important for five to ten to fifteen years from now, so WHO CARES?? We're drinking it Saturday. Anybody who reads these occasional missives knows I love AALTO. Great Ribera del Duero is something very different than great Jumilla like El Nido (I still feel funny typing the words "great Jumilla" but then El Nido winemaker Chris Ringland has been good at re-defining expectations): there is a nobility in amongst the rich and powerful blue fruits, and, oh, yes, balance. In 2006, a sense of balance that can seem like a sense of grace. But over in the Ebro River Valley, Rioja's version of the Tempranillo grape is less explosive than Ribera del Duero, if even more graceful. The 2001 Muga Prado Enea is a wine from a winery (Muga) that is confounding, but in a good way. The Torre Muga is super ripe, uber-international in style. Muga's Rioja Riserva has a strongly traditional feel to it; Prado Enea is something in between. And 2001 is a great, great vintage. Finally, we allow France's Languedoc to get into the act: 2005 La Peira Terrasses du Larzac is one of the many wines that wise taster David Schildknecht has turned a lot of us onto. A blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre, count yourself lucky to have found some 2005, a vintage the rest of the country has run out of. There will be more treats like 2007 Alto Moncayo but you'll have to stop by to see all the goodies we are pulling out. Happy Tasting and we'll see you Saturday!!

Taste the Wine that made Silver Oak Famous

The Wine That Made Silver Oak Famous

2004 Bonny's Vineyard Cabernet Tasting

Saturday November 14th 2009
11am - 8pm

Only 12 bottles come to NC and they are exclusive to Winestore.

What's the big complaint about Robert Parker? Lots of people are probably motivated by little more than jealousy, but many believe that there is something inherently wrong with one man having so much power in the marketplace. Query many of those folks a bit more and you find that they wouldn't mind owning that sort of power; they just don't like what Parker does with his power. So they aren't being honest: it's not that one man shouldn't have power, it's that THIS man shouldn't have that much power.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Parker's affection for big, unctuous red wines is legendary and despite the fact that he tastes tens of thousands of wines each year, he knows exactly what he's looking for and if he likes something, it's undeniably cut from that loud and powerful cloth.

Not everybody wants wines of such intensity; but Parker's success is proof that plenty do and if they are looking for one of the famous names among these powerhouses, they could do worse than purchase Meyer Family Bonny's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

The eponymous Meyer family includes Bonny Meyer, for whom the Bonny's Vineyard is named. Bonny's Vineyard was, as you probably know, the most sought-after wine in the Silver Oak stable. Bonny's late husband Justin Meyer had named the vineyard for her, and it was the jewel in the crown that Justin Meyer crafted at Silver Oak. In 1991, he stopped making a single vineyard wine, insisting that silver Oak's worldwide popularity made it too troublesome to continue to make a 400 case production wine, with every customer assuming that they could buy access to that limited production wine.

Justin's son finally talked the family into returning to a Bonny's Vineyard Cabernet in 2001; Justin Meyer passed away suddenly in 2003 and never saw the release of the wine. The 2004 is the second release of that wine, and the Meyer family thinks it's not as big and full-throttle as many of Napa's most famous and Parker-awarded wines. Perhaps they're right; the alcohol is only 14% and that's modest these days. But perhaps it's a matter of context. The 2004 Bonny's isn't shy and that should suit the lovers of the big, unctuous red wine style, the ones who remember the Silver Oak Bonny's of old, just fine.

Hapy Tasting and we'll see you on Saturday,

Finca Sandoval @ 50% off!

2005 Finca Sandoval


Regular Price: $49.99

Winestore Price: $24.99 (net)

Save 50% or $25 a bottle!

This is easily one of the most exciting deals we have put together this year!

We bought 36 six packs of this wine over the weekend and now are able to offer them to you at the lowest price in the US! Finca Sandoval has long been one of our favorite Spanish wines, but it usually retails in the not so price friendly $40 range. Now, at $25 a bottle, we abolutely LOVE IT! The 2005 Finca Sandoval is 76% Syrah, 13% Mourvedre, and 11% Bobal that is aged from 11-13 months in French and American oak as well as a mix of new and seasoned 225 and 300-liter barrels. Winemaker Victor de la Serna, aside from making this beauty of a wine, also happens to be one of the most respected wine writers in Spain.

This is a perfect opportunity to get:
- some wine for Thanksgiving
- Holiday Gifts
- Client / Corporate Gifts

All at a very silly price! Who said being thrifty can't be fun and exciting!

Solomon Tasting!

Eric Solomon Wines You've Never Seen!

Saturday November 7th
11am-8pm

Charlotte's favorite wine importer brings a treasure trove of wines into the United States - and yet we only really get to show you just a handful at a time. That is why this weekend we are pulling out the Solomon Selections that you may have never seen. Made in miniscule quantities, most of these wines will absolutely wow you for the price (as Solomon usually is able to do). So all weekend long we are going to be looking at some of the "other" Solomon wines - and we are pretty sure you are going to love them as much as we do.

Some of what we are tasting will include:



2006 Domaine La Garrigue "Vayqueyras"

This is the flagship offering from our 2009 best selling wine - Domaine La Garrigue Cuvee Romaine. Well, it's a flagship with a not so flagship amazing price of only $14.99. Phenomenal juice that would also just happen to go perfectly on the dining room table.



2005 La Peira

We featured the entry level offerings from this new winery a few weeks ago and recently uncovered some of the high end cuvee still available for retail (only 1,500 bottles were produced for the whole planet). It's big, it's rich, it's fun, its impossible to find - it's just about everything we love about wine!



2006 Chateau Saint-Roch Chimeres

Wine writer Robert Parker's Wine Advocate recently commented that "I want to re-emphasize this wines amazing quality (not even to mention for the price!)" and we could not agree more. Another quality Grenache and Carignan offering that will pair well with Thanksgiving Dinner or Carolina Panthers football.



2007 Mas Alta "El Pics" Priorat

A brand new offering from Bodegas Mas Alta from the crazy popular Priorat region of Spain (Clos Erasmus anyone?). If you love Priorat - you know, wines like Marge, Laurel, Mas D'en Compte etc. - then you are going to love this wine at what is, for Priorat, a very friendly price.



2007 Domaine LaFage Cote SUD

You have probably loved some of the white wines made by Jean Marc LaFage...wines like LaFage Cote Est and Novellum Chardonnay. Chances are though, that you have never seen his red wines - and they are, for only $12, quite a treat.



2005 Paisajes VII

If it is from Rioja does it have to be from the Tempranillo grape? No it does not! This is what people are talking about when they talk about "Moden" Rioja. Full of fruit, lush and vibrant and 100% Garnacha. Stunning wine!

This is just a sample of some of the great Solomon wines we will be featuring this weekend. There will be more! So swing on by, bring some friends, and enjoy some wonderful wine on a great fall Saturday!

Cheers,
The Team @ Winestore.

We are offering over 28 cases of this wine at the lowest price in the US - only $14.99 per bottle. We thought about doing it by the case only but we want to make sure everyone gets a chance to get invovlved in this great deal - not just those who purchase 12 bottles or more.

So - until this batch runs out you have the opportunity to grab a great bottle of wine for only $15. We will not be offering this price again!

2007 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape

2007 Beaucastel Chateauneuf!

This is one of the wines we have been waiting all year to arrive! There is no need for us to further address the hype surrounding the 2007 vintage in Chateauneuf - I mean, Robert Parker just wrote on October 31st that "Tasting the 2007s out of bottle has confirmed my thoughts – this is a truly historic and profoundly great vintage."

We now can offer you the 2007 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape and are pleased to do so... Parker Said about the wine, "Beaucastel’s 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape has turned out even better out of bottle than I predicted. An inky/ruby/purple color is followed by a glorious nose of blue and black fruits, truffles, pen ink, licorice, and meat juices as well as glorious levels of acidity and sweet tannin, buttressing the fruit’s fabulous freshness and vibrancy. This full-bodied effort still displays considerable tannin, no doubt because of the relatively high Mourvedre content. It should resolve its tannins in 2-4 years, and last for 25 or more."

Taste Wines from Our Favorite New Winery!

Taste Wines from Our New Favorite Winery!


Saturday October 24th - Sunday October 25th

All Day Long!

International Wine Celebrity / Importer and Charlottean Eric Solomon is well known for bringing "the next big thing" to the United States - and his new import, La Peira, might very well be "the next big thing". We have gone completely ga-ga over these wines - but chances are you probably have never heard of the winery or ever even tasted their wines. Their flagship wine "La Peira" has an annual worldwide production of only 1,500 bottles (compare that to the 420,000 bottle production of Caymus Cabernet) and even their less expensive offerings are offered only in minuscule quantities. That is why we are more than excited to be the first in North Carolina and one of the first in the Country to showcase these wines for you.

Here is just a little of what the wine press has been saying:

"The flagship wine from this new venture is easily going to be the next great global cult wine. Think Clos Erasmus or Masseto; that’s the level of quality that this wine brings!"
- Gary Vaynerchuk

"This wine will ring changes on your palate for a decade. The deep alluvial fan that is the basis for this site is only barely tilted, as it might be in St. Helena or Rutherford, St.-Estephe or Pomerol ... and these comparisons will not seem inapt once you experience the quality of La Peira’s wines."
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The most apt analogy, perhaps, is the publisher’s slush pile—that legendary stack of unsolicited manuscripts where, sandwiched between laborious first novels, eccentric diets, and the childhood reminiscences of the elderly, the house reader dreams of finding a golden text to wave at cynical seniors. So with the samples delivered to the homes of those who write about wine. All deserve a taste, most a note, but I’ve never come across one that rearranged my inner pantheon in the way that truly great wine can. Never, that is, until a few weeks ago. Then it was that a relatively ramshackle package of boxes arrived from the Languedoc containing 11 bottles and a text. The bottles (cask samples, in the main) had beautiful, austerely classical labels with puzzling, hard-to-pronounce names. No UK importer, let alone retailer. Just an apologetic e-mail, a few days earlier, from one of the wine’s creators, Rob Dougan, alluding to their presence a year before at a tasting in Bordeaux that I’d been unable to attend. Enough waffle. These are the best unsolicited samples anyone has ever sent me."
-Andrew Jefford

If that wasn't enough to get you excited, you can check out a great video by clicking here. Now...after all of that if you are not even the least intrigued to come be one of the first to experience these wines then I am not sure what else we can do!

Here are two of the wines we will be featuring:

2005 Las Flors de La Peira


Only 4,400 bottles produced

Regular Price: $55.00
Winestore Price: $39.99 (net)
Save 27%

Hyperbole aside, this is one of the best wines we have tasted in 2009, regardless of price. Buy one to lay down in your wine cabinet, buy one for your loved one, buy one for your boss, or just buy one because this is just brilliant wine from a brilliant vintage at a great price.

2007 Les Obriers de la Peira

Regular Price: $26.00
Winestore Price: $19.99
Save 23% (Save an extra 5% on six bottles or an extra 10% on 12 bottles or more)

An extraordinary value from the super hyped 2007 vintage, we think Robert Parker's Wine Advocate said it best when they stated "In my fantasy world where the authorities require every Languedoc vigneron to protect some old Cinsault and Carignan vines, they should all be required as well to taste La Peira’s 2007 Les Obriers de la Peira". This stuff flat out rocks!!

Would you like to taste more amazing and hard to find wine? Your wish is our command! This weekend we will also be tasting:


2007 Philippe Cambie Cotes du Rhone Calendal


A Winestore Exclusive in North Carolina

Only 4,500 bottles produced

A mere 48 bottles have come into the state and this intense superstar is another must try from the Solomon portfolio. If you love all things Rhone (and yes, we do) then you are going to want to see what all the hype about this wine is all about!!
