Villa Cafaggio and Paraiso

A couple more close-out wines to look for:

2000 Villa Cafaggio San Martino and Cortaccio - A pair of nice tuscans from a good vintage. Sara and I just tasted these this afternoon, and they're drinking well. Originally $65.99 a bottle, they're now just $32.99 each.

1996 Villa Cafaggio San Martino - Admittedly from a poor vintage, this is still a nice Sangiovese that was rated 88 points by Wine Spectator. It's just a little past it's prime, but after breathing for a few hours this morning it is drinking ok. Leather and earth, with just a hint of fruit still hanging on, it is a great food wine. Originally $39.99, now just $9.99 a bottle.

2003 Paraiso Estate Syrah - Nice California Syrah, and drinking extremely well. Lots of fruit. Originally $17.99, now only $9.99 a bottle.
