The first wave of close-out wines has arrived, and here is the list of bargains to peruse:
2005 Joseph Phelps Pastiche - A perennial favorite at the market, it's been inexplicably reduced to just $10.99 a bottle (originally $14.99). The Pastiche is a beautiful red blend from California, showing lots of fruit and a silky mouthfeel. An absolute steal for the price!
2005 Paul Reitz Mercurey - Hard to find a "village" burgundy for under $40, but this pinot noir has been marked down to $14.99 (originally $24.99). Tart, tangy fruit frames this light to medium-bodied red, but it also reveals a hint of earthiness as well. Great value.
2005 Domaine de Mont Redon L'Orangerie - Ripe and juicy, this is a good value red from Provence. Only $7.99 (origianlly $9.99), it's a great every-day wine.
2003 Ey Vigne Las Collas Grenache - Originally $9.99, the price of this red has been slashed to $3.99 a bottle. From the Roussillon area of France, this shows pretty good fruit beginning to mid-palate, but falls apart on the finish. Not really a wine to enjoy on its own, but decent enough to serve with pizza, or to use for cooking.
Look for another round of close-out deals next week.
Cheers!
