Regular Price: $24.99
Winestore Price: $17.99

Case (12 bottles) price: $14.99 per bottle - Save 40% off SRP!

Regular Price $23.99
Winestore Price: $17.99

Full Case (12) Price: $14.99 per bottle - Save 37%

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.

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."
