This wine has notes of saddle leather, forest floor, pencil
shavings....I'm just kidding. Don't you hate when people talk like that?
Friends, rest assured when we bring you a wine for only $7.99 it is
going to be a show stopper amongst a sea of floating garbage. Are we
here to try and tell you that this is the best bottle of wine you will
ever drink? No we are not...we'll save that kind of hyperbole for some
big name publications that shall not be named. What we are here to tell
you is that for the price of a large BBQ plate at Bill Spoons you can
have yourself an entire bottle of wine that pairs well with all days and
nights that end in Y. Rich fruit, easy drinking and a cork that does
not get stuck. Check, check and check!
We brought in 112 cases of this gemstone for you, because we are pretty
sure this is not going to be a vino you buy by the bottle. I mean think
of all the possibilities....wedding, having family in town, going over
to friends for dinner, cooking burgers on the grill, you had a bad day.
This wine goes with everything!
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do - and as always, THANK YOU for your business!

Taste Caymus Special Select Blind!
Saturday June 8th, 2013
11am-8pm
All Day Long!!
Featuring 2010 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet
Can we find you a $15 wine that tastes as good as a $100 wine? Is it possible?
Time to bring out one of the big boys of California Cabernet production
in our 6th Annual Caymus Special Selection Blind Tasting! Tough to
forget that back in January our Silver Oak blind tasting produced a
superstar winner in the 2010 Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvee
- an $18.99 epic value that beat out competition at an average bottle
price of $35. It almost seems unfair to all the big boy Cabs out there; I
mean a Maserati is supposed to go faster than a Kia, and a $100 wine is
supposed to taste better than a $25 one. Right? Well, maybe not. A
wine's success isn't measured in MpH, it's measured in the taste that is
transferred from the glass to your mouth. If you don't know the price,
can't see the label, and can't hear someone waxing poetic in your ear
about the wine's "score," then all that is left is the juice and your
taste buds. It's a scary proposition for any winemaker. That's why you
have marketing departments that design catchy labels, create campaigns
to build a wine's image, and spend all of their time and energy
essentially trying to convince consumers that a wine is great. The
problem is that you can't out "market" a blind tasting.
Which is why we're playing "Find the Caymus Special Selection Cabernet" this Saturday. It's
simple really. The wines will all be tasted blind on our tasting
machines. One of them will be the new 2010 Caymus Special Selection
Cabernet and the others will be an assortment of wines at every price
point from a number of different regions. All you have to do is taste
and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If
that's the Caymus, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be
surprised as to what your favorites actually are.
We hope to see you Saturday - these are always fun events!
2011 Silver Palm Cabernet
Regular Price: $15.99
Winestore Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 19%
Yes, we have been running a lot of deals lately on Grenache, Syrah,
Tempranillo, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and others. What about the Cabernet
lovers? Where are the deals?! Well, we found a good one for you. Silver
Palm is not a hard to find wine. We're pretty sure it is on the "by the
glass" list at every steakhouse in North Carolina and for good reason -
this is some pretty darn tasty Cabernet. For $12.99, it really darn
tasty. Take into account the winery sells this wine for $22.00 on their
website and we have a winner!
So if you're looking for a great deal on a great Cabernet, this is the
one you have been waiting for! BBQ this weekend? Perfect. Burgers
tonight on the grill? Amazing match? Watching three hours of Arrested
Development on Netflix and need something to pair with it? Silver Palm
needs to be your wine.

3rd Annual California vs. Spain Taste Off!
Saturday June 1st, 2013
11am - 8pm
Representing California:
2010 Snowden "The Ranch" Cabernet
2010 Whitehall Lane Tre Leoni
2010 Laurel Glen Counterpoint
2009 Banshee Mordecai
Representing Spain:
2010 Planetes de Nin Priorat
2007 Finca Villacreces Crianza
2009 Casa Castillo Las Gravas
2010 Clos Erasmus "Laurel"
People of the interwebs - it is time for
our 3rd Annual California vs. Spain Taste Off! This is where we are
going to put some serious Cali firepower up against Spanish wine that is
going to make you wonder why you have not been drinking this stuff for
years! Lowest prices in the US on some of these gems? We've got that
too...I mean, that is just how we roll.
Villacreces, Erasmus, Whitehall Lane, Laurel Glen? Yes, this could be a
lineup at a dinner of some of my favorite producers. It also could be a
lineup of world class wines at prices that may surprise you (in a good
way). It's summer dammit, and that means grilling out with friends,
sitting on the beach and trying not to burn, cannonballs in the pool,
and sipping some vino at 8pm on the patio while it's still light
outside. So stop in this weekend and taste some weekend wines - these
are not your Tuesday night sippers, these are your Saturday bombshells. A
treat to yourself for working hard during the week....come on, you've
earned it!

Any time Charlotte based wine importer
Eric Solomon creates a new project we pay close attention. When he
creates it with winemaking wizard Jean Marc Lafage we pay double close
attention. And when wine critic Robert Parker goes out of his way to post the following we pay SERIOUS attention.
"There are 3,000 cases of the naked virginal, unoaked 2011 Bastide
Miraflors Vieilles Vignes made from 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache aged in
concrete. The difficult economic situation in the Languedoc Roussillon
corridor is being exploited to the maximum by importer Eric Solomon. The fact that wines such as this can be purchased is unbelievable. Largely an artisinal wine, it is brilliantly pure with a stunning nose of spring flowers, blackberries, cassis and earth.
It is almost incomprehensible that something of this quality,
complexity and richness can be purchased for $15 to $50, much less $10
to $12. The 3,000 cases should be gobbled up as quickly as they
hit retailers' shelves. I am honored to share my excitement about this
amazing wine with readers."
- Robert Parker
So ignore the hype if you want...all we know is we're buying cases for ourselves, and we think you should too!

2012 Lafage Miraflors Dry Rose
Wine.com Price: $18.99 (Click HERE to see)
Winestore Price: $14.99
SAVE 21%
Back In Stock!
Listen up people...we are laying it down on the line with this wine. If you love dry rosé during the warmer months, and you do not buy a case of this stuff to sip on all summer long, you might be out of your mind. The 2012 Lafage Miraflors Rosé is a game changer in our opinion. Dry rosé
is the flavor of the moment, and southern France is the style’s
birthplace and homeland. A refreshing blend of Mourvedre and Grenache
Gris, this lovely lady is more complex than most any dry rosé you’ve ever had....
We have it to taste at all three stores but don't dawdle...it won't last long.

2007 Finca Villacreces Crianza
Zachys Price: $40.00 (Click HERE to see)
Winestore Price: $24.99 (net)
SAVE 37%
Lowest Price in the USA
Only 15 cases available
Drinkers of delicious Spanish wine, listen up! Villacreces is a
first-rate, listen to me, FIRST-RATE, Ribera del Duero producer. Yeah,
that means I’m comparing it to Pesquera (better), Vega Sicilia (better
priced), and Aalto (now you've gone too far). Their wines are
Tempranillo (yes, they call it Tinto Fino here) at its elegant pinnacle,
but their Crianza bottling is more exuberant than the rest, as it is
Tempranillo laced with a bit of Cabernet and Merlot.
For all you folks interested in such
things, Villacreces also sits on some pretty amazing land. There is
written evidence that the first vines were planted on the property in
the 13th Century (yes, you read that correctly), and their next door
neighbor is wine legend Vega Sicilia (priced at a lofty $300 per
bottle).
So there you have it. Serious Spanish value at the lowest price in the USA. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
