| 74402 | 74401 | Spain | Floral cherry and raspberry scents are moderately earthy. This has an edgy, tannic feel along with good plum and cherry flavors that don't falter or break up on a choppy, lightly candied-tasting finish. | | 87 | 12 | Northern Spain | Cariñena | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Loca 2013 Tempranillo (Cariñena) | Tempranillo | Loca |
| 74403 | 74402 | Spain | Concise and basic on the nose, with aromas of melon and minerals, this crisp, stony wine is pleasant and clean, with malic acidity. Lime, green apple and tangerine flavors finish dry and pithy, with cleansing acidity. | | 87 | 12 | Northern Spain | Navarra | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Otazu 2013 Chardonnay (Navarra) | Chardonnay | Otazu |
| 74404 | 74403 | Spain | Raspberry and plum aromas smell a bit powdery, like Kool-Aid. This feels wide, jammy, grabby and tannic, while flavors of currant, red plum and herbs end fresh and juicy, but also a bit scouring and rough. Drink through 2018. | Crianza | 87 | 17 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Castillo Labastida 2011 Crianza (Rioja) | Tempranillo Blend | Castillo Labastida |
| 74405 | 74404 | Chile | Lightly candied cherry and raspberry aromas are fresh. This has a ripe, edgy mouthfeel with modest tannins.

| 74406 | 74405 | Spain | Cigar spice, baking spice and butterscotch aromas hint at richness but never quite get there. This is mild and smooth on the palate, with caramel, white pepper and bitter chocolate flavors. It's static on the finish. | Premium Medium Blend of Oloroso | 87 | 16 | Andalucia | Jerez | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Delgado Zuleta NV Premium Medium Blend of Oloroso Sherry (Jerez) | Sherry | Delgado Zuleta |
| 74407 | 74406 | US | This smells like butterscotch and ripe pear, tastes floral like honeysuckle and has an almost sweet feeling on the tongue.

| 74408 | 74407 | Chile | Raspberry, plum and spice aromas are simple but solid and approachable. In the mouth, this blend is grabby and tannic, but boosted by good acidity. Flavors of raw oak and related resin are spicy and blanket standard black-fruit flavors, while pinching tannins and residual oak are prominent on the finish. | Duette Premium | 87 | 18 | Maipo Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Indomita 2013 Duette Premium Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenère (Maipo Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenère | Indomita |
| 74409 | 74408 | France | Very perfumed, this lightly sweet and poised wine is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Gros Manseng. It has cool acidity as well as wonderfully fragrant fruitiness. The texture gives the wine the potential to age, so drink now and until 2017. | Villa Chambre d'Amour | 87 | 13 | France Other | Vin de France | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Lionel Osmin & Cie 2013 Villa Chambre d'Amour White (Vin de France) | White Blend | Lionel Osmin & Cie |

| 74411 | 74410 | US | Juicy red berry, currant and cola aromas jump out of the glass along with sweet tobacco and leather. The flavors in this blend of 51% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 12% Mourvèdre, 4% Counoise and 1% Cinsault aren't as boisterous, with rose petal soda, root beer and iced coffee, proving light but with a leathery grip. | M5 | 87 | 28 | California | Santa Barbara County | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Margerum 2013 M5 Red (Santa Barbara County) | Rhône-style Red Blend | Margerum |

| 74413 | 74412 | Germany | Wisps of smoke, toast and dusty mineral accent fresh lemon and apple flavors in this dry, medium-bodied Weissburgunder (more commonly known as Pinot Blanc).

| 74415 | 74414 | France | This wine is still tight and closed. Hints of the lemon and fresh pear fruits are sustained by a crisp, mineral texture. This is a wine to age for a few months, so drink from 2016. | Domaine de la Grenaudière Sur Lie | 87 | 13 | Loire Valley | Muscadet Sèvre et Maine | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Ollivier Frères 2013 Domaine de la Grenaudière Sur Lie (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine) | Melon | Ollivier Frères |
| 74416 | 74415 | Italy | Aromas of white rose and jasmine lead the nose.

| 74417 | 74416 | Portugal | The combination of Chardonnay and Arinto seems to work so well. It gives a rich wine that has just the right edge of fresh acidity and crisp apple flavors.

| 74418 | 74417 | US | What differentiates this from the winery's other Grüner is hard to say. Both are round and spicy, with moderate acidity and a suggestion of residual sugar. This has a touch more alcohol, and a bit of heat in the finish. | Winemaker's Reserve | 87 | 29 | Oregon | Umpqua Valley | Southern Oregon | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Reustle 2013 Winemaker's Reserve Grüner Veltliner (Umpqua Valley) | Grüner Veltliner | Reustle |
| 74419 | 74418 | US | Restrained yet ripe peach and nectarine aromas show themselves slowly in a very demure manner on this wine. The palate is more about sensation than flavors, with bitter-sour elements and a bit of grit more prominent than the nectarine flesh and green apple flavors. | Estate | 87 | | California | Santa Ynez Valley | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Rideau 2013 Estate Viognier (Santa Ynez Valley) | Viognier | Rideau |

| 74427 | 74426 | US | Clove and peppercorn give this an herbal edge around juicy cranberry and cassis. All five of the classic Bordeaux red varieties are represented here, with Cabernet Sauvignon the majority.

| 74428 | 74427 | Italy | Made with 85% Grechetto and 15% Trebbiano Spoletino, Caprai's fresh Anima Umbra (“the soul of Umbria”) would taste great with bruschetta with chopped tomato and basil.
