| 61561 | 61560 | US | Though there's no oak on this Chard, it's still quite rich and ripe with loads of honeydew, yellow peach slices, lightly baked apple and tangerine oil. The mouth is round and lacking a bit more acidity, but as a whole the wine is enjoyable and easy to drink. | Surfside | 84 | 14 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Penguin Bay 2008 Surfside Chardonnay (Finger Lakes) | Chardonnay | Penguin Bay |
| 61562 | 61561 | Austria | A curiously textured wine, with dry stone fruit characters, missing some of the aromatic virtues of Riesling. That said, it has good freshness, white currant acidity and a light, crisp finish. Screwcap. | Select | 84 | 22 | Niederösterreich | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Pratsch 2008 Select Riesling (Niederösterreich) | Riesling | Pratsch |
| 61563 | 61562 | US | The fruit is plenty ripe, offering rich flavors of blackberries and black currants, and the finish is thoroughly dry. The drawback with this Cab is its texture. It's rough and angular, suggesting unevenly ripe stems and seeds. Drink now. | Reserve Bingham Ranch | 84 | 65 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | | | R & B Cellars 2005 Reserve Bingham Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | R & B Cellars |
| 61564 | 61563 | US | Starts off fine, with rich blackberry and black currant aromas and flavors. But once you take a sip, the wine turns sharp and unbalanced. Still, it's a perfectly decent sipper for everyday fare. | Fine Irish Cab | 84 | 15 | California | Lodi | Central Valley | | | Shenanigans 2007 Fine Irish Cab Cabernet Sauvignon (Lodi) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Shenanigans |
| 61565 | 61564 | France | Open, soft, creamy, along with a candied fruit character. There is freshness here, with the acidity dominant on the finish. | | 84 | 15 | Burgundy | Mâcon-Villages | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Signé Vigneron 2008 Mâcon-Villages | Chardonnay | Signé Vigneron |
| 61566 | 61565 | Chile | Not a bad wine but definitely overoaked for what it is. The nose bleeds resin and faux milk chocolate, while the chunky, herbal palate offers pretty good mouthfeel but also roasted berry flavors. Menthol and herbal notes rise up on the hot finish. | Special Reserve | 84 | 13 | Maule Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Simone 2008 Special Reserve Carmenère (Maule Valley) | Carmenère | Simone |
| 61567 | 61566 | France | Tropical fruit and new wood flavors thread this opulent, seductive Chardonnay. It has surface glamor, with its flavors of ripe mango, peach and toast. Under the surface, the flavors are simple, softly textured. | | 85 | 27 | Burgundy | Bourgogne | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Maison Jessiaume 2010 Bourgogne | Chardonnay | Maison Jessiaume |

| 61569 | 61568 | US | Ripe flavors of orange and tropical fruit jam abound, with a buttered toast richness from the oak. Its appeal is all upfront, with a simple, popular sweetness. | | 85 | 35 | California | Sonoma Coast | Sonoma | | | 16X20 2010 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) | Chardonnay | 16X20 |
| 61570 | 61569 | Argentina | Dusty and warm up front, this has baked apple and peachy aromas. It feels round with only mild acidity, while the flavors yield barrel resin, citrus and sweet melon. It's not too evolved on the finish. | | 85 | 10 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Tilia 2011 Chardonnay (Mendoza) | Chardonnay | Tilia |
| 61571 | 61570 | Italy | Easy and cheerful, this has bright acidity and simple berry aromas. There's a hint of forest floor and a touch of bitter almond on the finish. | I Roccoli | 85 | 15 | Veneto | Valpolicella Classico | | | | Vigneti Villabella 2011 I Roccoli (Valpolicella Classico) | Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara | Vigneti Villabella |
| 61572 | 61571 | South Africa | Here's a bright Pinotage that offers aromas of blackberry and plum, as well as faint hints of dried herb and cured meat. The palate is light and easy drinking, with approachable tannins and a short but clean finish. | Bush Vine | 85 | 13 | Stellenbosch | | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Winery of Good Hope 2011 Bush Vine Pinotage (Stellenbosch) | Pinotage | Winery of Good Hope |
| 61573 | 61572 | Italy | This is redolent of red cherry, spice, leather and dried apple skin, with a sharp touch of medicinal herb on the finish. | | 85 | 24 | Veneto | Valpolicella Superiore | | | | Zanoni 2008 Valpolicella Superiore | Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara | Zanoni |
| 61574 | 61573 | US | Alluring aromas of tobacco, forest floor, smoking incense and chocolate are well defined. Supportive tannins frame its soft core, while conspicuous acids ramp up the earthy flavors. It finishes long, with a lingering note of dark stone fruit. | Bethlehem Valley | 85 | 25 | Missouri | Missouri | | | | Mount Pleasant Winery 2008 Bethlehem Valley Norton (Missouri) | Norton | Mount Pleasant Winery |
| 61575 | 61574 | US | Notes of sweet pipe tobacco, dark fruit liqueur, mint-chocolate and raisin mingle on the medium-intense, ripe-smelling nose. Medium in body, this has a texture defined by its salient acids rather than its tannins, creating a bright feel. The light tannins add a dusty quality to the finish, concluding with hints of raspberry coulis and cherry. | | 85 | 18 | New Mexico | New Mexico | | | | D.H. Lescombes 2009 Pinot Noir (New Mexico) | Pinot Noir | D.H. Lescombes |
| 61576 | 61575 | Spain | This starts with some Verdejo sweat and funk on the nose, and while those notes don't last, the bouquet doesn't improve dramatically with airing. It feels soft and basic, with melon and lettuce flavors. Falls off a bit on the finish, which tastes a bit briney. | Ducado de Altan | 85 | 13 | Northern Spain | Rueda | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Naia 2010 Ducado de Altan Verdejo (Rueda) | Verdejo | Naia |
| 61577 | 61576 | US | A solid if standard Cabernet, this show typical varietal flavors of blackberries, black currants and anise, with the requisite jacket of toasty oak. Dry and full bodied, there's some bitterness on the finish that suggests its limited ageability. Drink now. | | 85 | 35 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | | | Napa Wine Co. 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Napa Wine Co. |
| 61578 | 61577 | France | Intense acidity precedes the ripe yellow fruits of this bright wine. It has a rich texture that's very minerally and steely, pairing with a vanilla note from its wood aging. It's a wine to be consumed young, over the next 2–3 years. | Les Vieilles Vignes | 85 | | Burgundy | Chablis | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Pascal Bouchard 2010 Les Vieilles Vignes (Chablis) | Chardonnay | Pascal Bouchard |
| 61579 | 61578 | US | This tastes sweet and clean, with mango, peach and orange flavors that are brightened with zesty acidity. | | 85 | 18 | California | North Coast | North Coast | | | Ruby Red 2011 Sauvignon Blanc (North Coast) | Sauvignon Blanc | Ruby Red |

| 61581 | 61580 | US | There are lots of rich, ripe vanilla, buttered toast and tropical fruit flavors in this creamy wine.

| 61582 | 61581 | US | With some veggie and green, stemmy notes alongside tones of cherry and cola, this doesn't taste fully ripe. It's a very dry wine, with brisk acidity. Drink now, as it's unlikely to develop with age. | Durell Vineyard | 85 | 45 | California | Sonoma Coast | Sonoma | | | Armida 2010 Durell Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) | Pinot Noir | Armida |
| 61583 | 61582 | Spain | This opens with a blast of berry fruit and a note of spice. It feels bouncy, full and healthy, with black fruits and dark spices comprising the flavor profile. The finish is short, but fruity and clean. | | 85 | 8 | Central Spain | Valdepeñas | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Viña Albali 2011 Tempranillo (Valdepeñas) | Tempranillo | Viña Albali |
| 61584 | 61583 | Argentina | Initial tar and asphalt aromas yield to grapy berry and earth notes. It feels hard but not real deep, with a short wild-berry flavor that leads to a reasonably good but superficial finish. Juicy and fresh. | Alta | 85 | 9 | Other | Tulum Valley | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Callia 2011 Alta Shiraz (Tulum Valley) | Shiraz | Callia |
| 61585 | 61584 | US | Aromas of sweet white peach and apple blossoms are lovely on this lean, light-footed Grüner Veltiner. The palate could use a hint more concentration, but it's lemony and brisk, with pleasant crushed chalk and grass notes. Drink now. | Estate Bottled | 85 | 20 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Lamoreaux Landing 2011 Estate Bottled Grüner Veltliner (Finger Lakes) | Grüner Veltliner | Lamoreaux Landing |

| 61587 | 61586 | South Africa | The bouquet bursts with ripe black-fruit aromas, alongside hints of crushed violet petals. The mouthfeel is round and filling, with a chocolaty flavor that stays through to the finish. | | 85 | 13 | Western Cape | | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | False Bay 2011 Pinotage (Western Cape) | Pinotage | False Bay |
| 61588 | 61587 | US | A very sweet wine, this is just the thing most Muscat lovers will love. It's delicious in orange jam, tropical fruit and vanilla bean flavors. The acidity surfaces just in time, preventing the sweetness from seeming cloying. | Late Harvest | 85 | 20 | California | California | California Other | | | Herzog 2011 Late Harvest Orange Muscat (California) | Orange Muscat | Herzog |
| 61589 | 61588 | US | This is so softly sweet and delicious in mocha, wild berry, buttery nougat and spice flavors, it's like a candy bar with alcohol. Easy to drink, with a gentle mouthfeel. | | 85 | 24 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | | | Balletto 2007 Zinfandel (Russian River Valley) | Zinfandel | Balletto |
| 61590 | 61589 | US | This is easy to drink, with crisp, mouthwatering acidity that brightens the lemon, lime and tropical fruit flavors. It's slightly sweet, but not overtly so—just enough to pair with Asian-inspired fare. | | 85 | 12 | California | California | California Other | | | Butterfly Kiss 2011 Pinot Grigio (California) | Pinot Grigio | Butterfly Kiss |
