2009 Abbazia di Novacella Kerner at Gary's Wine & Marketplace NJ Wine Store

http://www.garyswine.com/fine_wine/italy/14727.html

Wine Advocate 90 Pts and Tremendous Value from Italy

$1/Bottle Shipping on a Case
Price: $17.99
Reg: $22.99
ON SALE!

At a recent dinner featuring a great lineup of wines like Solaia, Quintarelli Amarone, and Shafer Hillside Select there was another wine that shined that isn't nearly as popular or similarly priced. It was the white wine that started the evening off, the 2009 Abbazia di Novacella Kerner. The perfect crisp white with great flavors of white fruits, with minerality and good weight as well.

I know what you're saying. What is Kerner? Kerner is a hybrid grape produced by a crossing of Trollinger (a red grape variety) and Riesling. Think of it as a Riesling with a bit more character and more full-bodied.

Anyway, it's a great bottle of wine that needs to be tasted to understand just how good it is. How many of us have actually tasted a Kerner before? Try this delicious example of Kerner and add another variety to your lifetime list of grapes tasted.

Antonio Galloni Wine Advocate 90 Points -- The 2009 Kerner is another fabulous wine from Abbazia di Novacella. The taut, mineral laced Kerner caresses the palate with expressive aromatics, chiseled fruit and fabulous overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.These entry-level, unoaked whites from Abbazia di Novacella in the Valle Isarco deliver plenty of bang for the buck.

2007 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Ornellaia at Gary's Wine & Marketplace NJ Wine Store

http://www.garyswine.com/fine_wine/italy/13928.html

7 points and One of Tuscany's Best
Free Shipping on 6-Packs

James Suckling on the 2007 versus the 2006 vintage in Tuscany: "The 2006s seemed a little more aromatic, with finer tannins and a racier, more refined character overall, while the 2007s were rich and powerful, with a riper and rounder mouthfeel. I think, if I remember correctly, the growing season was a little hotter in 2007 and the harvest for most producers was a little earlier. So that's why they may seem a little more concentrated with riper tannins than the 2006."

The Wine Spectator rated the 2007 Ornellaia at 97 points, their highest rating for Ornellaia since the 2004, which was the #7 wine in the Top 100 of 2007. It's also higher than the 1998 they ranked as the #1 wine in the Top 100 of 2001. Where will the 2007 finish up in the ranking this year?

We tasted the 2007 Ornellaia a few weeks back and it was showing much more concentration than the 2006 did when we tasted it a year ago. It is not as tannic or as tightly structured as the 2006, but it certainly is a great Ornellaia that probably will drink better than the 2006 at a much earlier age. It would be best to wait for a couple of years before opening the 2007, if you can resist the temptation to drink it right now. Then, drink the 2007 while you wait for the 2006 to mature in the bottle.

Wine Spectator 97 Points -- A wine that does everything right and puts it in beautiful balance. Full-bodied, yet reserved, silky and elegant, with wonderful fruit and friendly tannins. Best after 2012. -JS

Antonio Galloni Wine Advocate 93 Points -- The 2007 Ornellaia is remarkably open and accessible, very much in keeping with the personality of the vintage. Clean, minerally notes frame a core of silky, perfumed dark fruit, mocha, spices, licorice, grilled herbs and leather that impresses for its exceptional length. The 2007 is not a big, massive Ornellaia, but rather a wine built on elegance and finesse, both of which are on full display. The 2007 should drink well with a minimum of cellaring, but whether it will make old bones remains a question mark at this point. The 2007 Ornellaia is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.

Buy Wine 2009 Domaine des Grandes Perrieres Sancerre at Gary's Wine & Marketplace


http://www.garyswine.com/fine_wine/france/09842.html

WS 90pts Best Sancerre at Gary's Under $20 $1/Btl Shipping on a 6-Pack
Price: $14.99
Reg: $19.99
ON SALE!

We first discovered the Domaine Grandes Perrieres Sancerre from Jerome Gueneau in the spring of 2009 while in France. This was a real find! We brought in the 2008 last July and blew through almost 75 cases in a month.

We decided this year to double our purchase of the 2009 so it would be in the stores throughout the summer. We just received a new shipment and it's still just $14.99 per bottle on sale! Even with the new shipment we've already purchased an additional shipment to arrive in early September.

We've mentioned in the past that this was a producer under the radar. Well, it's no longer under the radar as the Wine Spectator recently rated it 90 points. The price is the still the same though.

Jerome founded the domaine in 1993 consisting of eight hectares of vineyards. Some of the vines are as old as 45 years of age. The estate is located in Chavignol and Sury-en-Vaux, known for producing a more minerally styled Sancerre due to the rocky soil.

"Very fresh, clean, and crisp. Very round fruit flavors of lemon-lime, even some peach on the mid-palate. Lots of minerality balanced with good acidity yet keeping all of the wonderful fruit through the long finish. Very well-made Sancerre at an amazing price!"

Jon Visser, Wine Buyer 4 stars

Wine Spectator 90 Points -- Pure and chiseled, featuring a lovely core of lemon verbena and straw woven with additional gooseberry, herb and flint notes, followed by a long, fine-tuned finish. Drink now through 2011. 5,000 cases made.

Buy Wine 2007 Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon at Gary's Wine & Marketplace NJ Wine Store

http://www.garyswine.com/fine_wine/chile/14397.html

WA 91pt Cabernet - Amazing Value for the Quality Free Shipping on a Case | $1/Btl Shipping on a 6-Pack
Price: $15.98
Reg: $23.99
ON SALE!

Finding a 91 point Cab that sells for less than $20 these days is difficult to say the least. We tasted one recently and it definitely lives up to its 91 point score. And just to let you know how difficult it is finding a 91 point Cabernet under $20... only four under $20 Cabs including the Montes Alpha 2007 have been rated 91 points or higher by the Wine Advocate in the past three years!

The grapes come from "La Finca de Apalta" Estate, in the Apalta Valley, reputed to be the best for red wines in Chile.

A velvety, delicious Cabernet
that you can just pop and enjoy any night of the week!

Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate 91 Points

The 2007 Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon raises the bar considerably. A glass-coating opaque purple, it has an excellent bouquet of toasty oak, tobacco, espresso, and blackcurrant. With good richness, excellent depth, and a firm structure, it will evolve for several years and drink well through 2019.
