5685156850ItalyExtreme elegance and balance characterize Gianfranco Bovio's Barolo Rocchettevino. The wine is studied and sophisticated with a clean presentation of fruit, spice and ethereal balsam or herbal aromas. It's a toned and carefully structured wine that will last many long years in the cellar.Rocchettevino92PiedmontBaroloGianfranco Bovio 2006 Rocchettevino (Barolo)NebbioloGianfranco Bovio
5685256851FranceJust approaching toasty maturity, this is a rich and full wine, its white fruits and perfumes floating above yeast, cookie and pine nut flavors. It has a great mouthfeel, a tingling character, acidity and richness in harmony.Brut Saphir 1.5 liters92ChampagneChampagneRoger Voss@vossrogerLouis Barthélémy 1998 Brut Saphir 1.5 liters (Champagne)Champagne BlendLouis Barthélémy
5685356852AustriaSteely. Cool fruit joins an immense series of flavors—crisp citrus, lime zest, pink grapefruit in the tightest texture. For aging over 3–4 years, probably longer.Engelreich9225TraisentalRoger Voss@vossrogerMarkus Huber 2009 Engelreich Riesling (Traisental)RieslingMarkus Huber
5685456853AustriaFrom a steep vineyard above the village of Straden, this has wonderful tropical fruit aromas, the fruit beautifully ripe.

5685556854ItalyHere is a classic expression of Barolo from a very good vintage that opens with bright fruit aromas that are embellished by carefully measured oak tones. You'll recognize blackberry, cassis, tobacco, mineral, cola and humus. The tannins are young and this wine requires more years of bottle aging.9261PiedmontBaroloPio Cesare 2006 BaroloNebbioloPio Cesare
5685656855USThis beautiful Bordeaux blend is based mostly on Cabernet Sauvignon. It's likeable now for the soft, refined texture and luscious flavors of tart cherry candy, accented with nearly half new oak. Shows real balance and flair, from a winery known for objective pricing.

5685756856ItalyHere's a hefty, big expression of Nebbiolo with thick spice notes and touches of vanilla and cinnamon that sit over a core of bright fruit. The wine offers a soft quality of tannin, followed by tart freshness, resulting in a pleasurable sensation of richness and opulence on the palate.

5685956858FranceWith its high percentage of Champagne's third grape, Pinot Meunier, as a result of the growing conditions of 2003, this is a great wine that is developing fast. It has more toast, less fruit, although its richness and weight are finely in balance with a yeasty cookie dough character.Grand Vintage Brut92ChampagneChampagneRoger Voss@vossrogerMoët & Chandon 2003 Grand Vintage Brut (Champagne)Champagne BlendMoët & Chandon
5686056859FranceA smooth and creamy Champagne, delicious peach and apricot fruits linked by acidity into a harmonious whole.

5686156860FranceAttractive aromas of violets, clove, pepper and plummy fruit give way to leather and spice on the palate.

Drink now.8612Rhône ValleyCôtes du RhôneJoe Czerwinski@JoeCzMichel Picard 2015 Red (Côtes du Rhône)Rhône-style Red BlendMichel Picard
5686256861USVery fruity and rather soft in texture, this wine has a sense of sweetness from the buttery, grape aromas to the ripe, almost jammy flavors and gentle finish.8614CaliforniaCaliforniaCalifornia OtherJim Gordon@gordone_cellarsProphecy 2015 Pinot Noir (California)Pinot NoirProphecy
5686356862GreeceTropical fruit aromas and flavors of mango, vanilla and melon give this white blend an exotic spin. Mild acidity gives the wine lift, but the style is easy-drinking and offers a long finish. Pair with poultry or grilled seafood.868Central GreeceSusan Kostrzewa@suskostrzewaPurely Greece 2016 White (Central Greece)Malagouzia-ChardonnayPurely Greece
5686456863USSmoky oak and a distinct note of birch mark the nose of this broadly built, full-bodied and robustly ripe wine. Grippy tannin and leathery texture give it extra weight and breadth, with a green undercurrent of cedar and peppercorn lurking beneath.Reserve8650CaliforniaRockpileSonomaVirginie Boone@vbooneRock Wall 2015 Reserve Zinfandel (Rockpile)ZinfandelRock Wall
5686556864USThe aromas are light in style, with notes of tin, mint, berry and wild raspberry.

5686656865USFresh apple, lemon and peach notes are shaded by darker tones of dusty mineral and struck flint in this medium-bodied Pinot Grigio. It's a bit closed in profile, but refreshing and dry with an invigorating lime finish.8617New YorkNew YorkNew York OtherAnna Lee C. IijimaSuhru 2016 Pinot Grigio (New York)Pinot GrigioSuhru
5686756866SpainHerbal blackberry and jammy black-plum aromas are forceful and brutish. This Toro has a hard, collapsed, jammy palate and overripe berry fruit flavors. A dense, chewy, baked finish is solid but lacks elegance.Dehesa Gago8618Northern SpainToroMichael Schachner@wineschachTelmo Rodríguez 2015 Dehesa Gago (Toro)Tinta de ToroTelmo Rodríguez
5686856867SpainYeasty aromas are simple and low on both fruit and acidity. Flavors of almond skins and lightly salted stone fruits finish mellow, without much snap.8613Northern SpainRiojaMichael Schachner@wineschachBeronia 2016 Viura (Rioja)ViuraBeronia
5686956868SpainA dark color and stewy aromas of earthy berry fruits lead to a lush, lazy palate that tastes of toasty oak and roasted berries.

5687056869SpainMelon, Animal Cracker and tropical fruit aromas lead to a plump but solidly fresh palate. A mix of stone-fruit and pink-grapefruit flavors is chiseled, and tastes a touch peppery on the finish.869Northern SpainCampo de BorjaMichael Schachner@wineschachBorsao 2016 Rosé (Campo de Borja)RoséBorsao

5687556874FranceWith an edge of tannin and with sweet strawberry fruits, this Doublet family clairet is an attractive wine. Dark pink in color, it appears and tastes rich.

5687756876FranceA medium-bodied blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, this is a crisp, plummy wine with hints of leather and earth. It's juicy and mouthwatering on the finish, but don't expect it to last—drink it over the next six months or so.869Rhône ValleyVin de Pays de VaucluseJoe Czerwinski@JoeCzCuvée Jean-Paul 2015 Red (Vin de Pays de Vaucluse)Rhône-style Red BlendCuvée Jean-Paul
