Michael Sebastiani’s 2008 was “a beautiful and serious wine, among the best of its type,” (Wine Enthusiast). Wait ‘til you taste this stone fruit and melon-filled 2009.
The force behind the Rhône’s rare Condrieu is just as happy in the renowned Kautz family’s special vineyard. Pair this apricot-and lime-laden charmer with cheese.
Spain’s made-for-seafood star thrives in the Pacific-influenced Edna Valley — and the masterful Christian Roguenant really draws out its thrilling citrus complexity.

Celebrate Summer with World-Class Fizz ‘Exquisite’ Triple-Gold Prosecco
Sophisticated Spanish Cava
Fine Sparkling Pinot Grigio
Prosecco is Italy’s favorite celebration fizz, and few make it finer than Marco Rabino. Just ask the 40 Masters of Wine who rated his Ca’ Bolani ‘Best in Class’: “White blossom scent and mouthwatering apple aromas. Subtle, fresh and mellow … exquisite in its simplicity and purity of flavor.”
This is serious, handcrafted Spanish fizz hails from a 17th century, Parker-rated estate just outside Barcelona. Made with local grapes Xarel-lo (for its enticing aroma), Macabeo (for ripe stone fruit) and Parellada (for zingy citrus notes), it’s clean and crisp with fine bubbles. Two years in fine oak adds creamy complexity.
Ca’ Bolani Prosecco
Oriol Rossell Cava Brut
Fresh off success at top shows in France and the U.K., this rare sparkling Pinot Grigio arrives from the ancient vineyards of Hungary (a country to keep on your wine radar). Look forward to a lovely, creamy mousse. Then refreshing flavors of white peach and citrus, followed by a lingering, spicy finish. Campanula Sparkling Pinot Grigio

Top-Class Tuscany — Over 20% OFF
Rich Chianti Classico Riserva “ There certainly is a lot to like here” — starting with an $80 savings In a part of Tuscany prized for richer wines, Canonica a Cerreto wins serious acclaim for its “full-throttle Chianti Classico” (Wine Spectator). “There is certainly a lot to like here,” says The Wine Advocate.
The top tier of Tuscany’s most famous red Wait until you taste this gem from 2008 — the year legendary Franco Bernabei and talented son Matteo took over in the cellar. Centered on top-quality Sangiovese (85%), firm Cabernet (10%) and velvety Merlot (5%), it goes well beyond the extra-aging required for toptier ‘Riserva’ status. Expect sumptuous depth of flavor, courtesy of 18 months in fine French barriques. Deep scarlet red, with enticing berry, black cherry and violet aromas. Elegant tannins frame layers of ripe red fruit and spice on the palate, with a long, mouthfilling finish. Drinking beautifully now or to 2018, with special dinners.

Southern Italian Reds
Head South for Italy’s Hottest Values We now head south to Puglia, Italy’s stiletto heel. This is a region where intense sunshine, local grapes, ancient vines and expert winemaking produce reds that deliver BIG on flavor and value. They’re perfect alongside simple, rich southern Italian food, such as pizza, pasta or buffalo mozzarella drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. Each one is very good with barbecued meats too. Two NEW gold-medal champions from superstar Mario Ercollino lead your case – smoky, complex Corsiero Nero and
Tenuta di Somaro (a barrel-aged blend of dark Aglianico and plummy Primitivo). Then, three big favorites from Angelo Maci (a three-time Vinitaly Winemaker of the Year) – his chocolaty Pillastro Primitivo and ‘Super Puglian’ Tenuta Albrizzi (a rare blend of Primitivo and Cabernet), plus the powerful Fortium (Negroamaro meets Malvasia). Gaetane Carron’s striking, old-vine Tarantella Merlot rounds off your case in silky-smooth style.
