Red Newt Cellars Riesling

FINALLY!!
For years my customers have been asking me for wines from the Finger Lakes region of New York, but they have mostly been unavailable, which is why I got excited when this wine was presented to us here at Austin Liquors. When I tasted the wine I got even more excited. It has all the great tropical fruit flavor you would expect from a nice German Riesling. It is not cloyingly sweet, but does have a touch of sweetness, which gets balanced by a cleansing, soft tingly acidity on the finish.  If you like Riesling, you have got to try this wine.

Mandrarossa Fiano

ELLYN'S PICK

A terrific under $10 value in dry white wine and a great alternative to Pinot Grigio. It's full of minerality, lemon and pear flavors with a hint of almonds. Enjoyable with cream-based pasta dishes, seafood, and pork.

Ch Valentin 2005 Premieres Cotes de Blaye

Ellyn's Pick

Ch Valentin is in the Cotes de Blaye region, home to many of Bordeaux's best red wine values. It has a gorgeous bouquet and all the multi-faceted flavors you get from a five year old bordeaux from an excellent vintage: smoky/gravely underpinings, with smooth plum, herbal, and licorice flavors. (70% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, and 13% Petit Verdot)

BV Napa 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon

RICH'S PICK

The last two vintages of this wine got 90 points and this vintage seems sure to keep that tradition going. It was once said that only Bv could produce Napa Cab this good for this price, and whoever said it was right. Right off the bat, its deep purple color is striking. It has a nose of boysenberries, oak and a hint of lavender. What follows is a soft and almost creamy palate of cocoa, oak, and black fruits that are harmoniously intergrated. There is a light amount of acid, and while thier isn't alot of tannins, what is thier is pretty firm. I say grab some of this while you can because I have a feeling that once the ratings come out on this one it is going to disapear fast. 

Castello do Papa Godello

MandraRossa Fiano

Fiano is a grape that is native to southern Italy, but is starting to be palnted in Australia. This is a great example of what the grape has to offer. Wine Makers Notes-“Brilliant pale yellow with hints of green. Ripe sub-tropical fruits and citrus aromas. Very lively and enticing. Medium bodied and dry with elegant balance. The fruit and citrus aromas on the nose evolve on the palate in an array of fruit flavors. Enjoy with chicken and turkey entrées, fish and grilled vegetables.”

Frey Natural White "Organic"

A great everyday food wine. A blend of Butte County Chenin Blanc and Mendocino Chardonnay results in a medium-bodied wine with crisp acid and melon and pear fruit. Perfect for a picnic or a soup and salad dinner. This excellent wine is a pleasure to both purse and palate.

Chateau Claud La Chappelle 2007 Cotes de Castillon

ELLYN'S PICK
Every now and then, we discover a wine that is so underpriced, we feel the need to herald its arrival. Well, sound the trumpets, Ch Claud La Chappelle is here! Its home is Bordeaux' Cotes de Castillon, a sub-region rich in history and great-value red wine. Here, next door to St Emiilion, Merlot vines are predominant, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc playing supporting roles. The wines of this area are similar to Saint Emillion, but tend to be lighter, smoother and considerably less expensive.
This 2007 is a top value of the vintage, featuring dense flavors of smoky oak, leather and mint overlaid with dark berries and tongue-coating tannins. From the originator of the "garage movement", Jean Luc Thunevin, this is a must try for Bordeaux enthusiasts or lovers of rich red wines.

Frey Natural Red "Organic"

A blend of organic Carignane, Zinfandel, and Syrah. Bright garnet hue. Well-balanced, medium-bodied palate with a crisp, fruit finish. An excellent everyday organic red wine, carefully crafted from the vineyard to the winery to your table. Try it with pizza or pasta.

2007 Santa Ema Reserve Merlot

RICH'S PICK 

This is an absolutely amazing bottle of wine for an even more amazing price. Once you taste it, it's not hard to figure out how it got a 90 point rating from the Wine Advocate.

"The 2007 Merlot Reserve is a glass-coating opaque purple. The nose offers up coffee, mocha, and cherry leading to a wine with no hard edges and plenty of character. If all Merlots offered this much pleasure, Pinot Noir would never have become so popular."

Ch Ste Chappelle Soft Red

Permutation Pinot Noir

Ellyn's Pick

Victoria’s Yarra Valley is THE place for Australian Pinot Noir.  Here the cool climate allows Pinot to ripen slowly and evenly resulting in perfectly mature grapes.  Add all-star winemaker William Downie’s expertise,  and you end up with an elegant, smooth great value.   With its strawberry, smoky, slate aromas and gorgeous black cherry, herbs, spice and vanillin flavors, this will match well with chicken in red wine, salmon, tenderloin and pork dishes.

Strong Arms Shiraz

"Sweet-fruited vibrant nose of fragrant violets, plums, cherry and musk. The palate has rich blackberry, raspberry, licorice and tar. Finishes with a creamy, vanillin oak and slightly smoky character."

"Strong Arms is a McLaren Vale Shiraz, soft, easy-drinking and modest yet stylish. It is named after a work of art by a talented artist named Mel Kadel whose work captures the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of everyday life—in essence, why we drink wine"

Finca Antigua Garnacha

Prado Rey Roble

2008 Marquis Phillips Shiraz

d'Arenberg Stump Jump Shiraz

RICH'S PICK 

Like all the d’Arenberg wines, this wine displays an incredible elegance and balance. It has a slightly creamy mouth feel that is packed with bright, ripe bery flavors, hints of white pepper, and a minerality that comes out on the finish. It’s no wonder that it got 90 points from Wine Spectator and made #82 on the magazine’s top 100 wines of the year.
