Trapiche, Pinot Noir 2007, Argentina $9.99

Full bodied, plum and cherry, great with food and friends. Solid value, a very reliable wine.

Domain Chandon Rose Brut NV $13.99

This is a rose, sparkling, festive, not too dry, a hit with everyone at dinner or a party.The vineyard is pretty much a guarantee you are going to get something good, at a good price.The great thing about sparkling wines is they tend to go well with everything, and people think you have really splurged! Makes any occasion more of a party as well. Delicious, no citric sharpness, but not too soda-pop either.

Domaine Marcel Langoux Pouilly Fume 2008 $12.99

Was just NOT my glass of wine.Too earthy a red, with a rough edge to it, even when having it with food.Sorry, but YUCK was the only word to sum it up. Had a good nose too–very disappointing!

Chateau de Moulin Rouge 2006 Bordeaux,$11

Good body and flavor, a bit thinner than I would have thought for a Bordeaux.An earthy red long on taste, great value for a French wine, slightly off dry for my liking.
