Domaine Lafond Roc Epine Lirac 2011, Ac
Rhône, France$18.95
Nice easy drinker that's really polished. Burnt brown sugar, blueberries and steamy hot rock leap out of the glass. Palate is plush with nicely integrated tannins. Medium weight. This is drinking good now but will show even better after about 3-5 years of bottle age...but can you wait that long...

Lazzeretti Brunello Di Montalcino 2007
Tuscany, Italy$42.95
John's bottle must have been spoiled b/c mine was fantastic. Rich nose of black cherry, liquorice, cedar and char/smoke. The palate is smooth and lush with hints of sweetness, earthy barnyard, herbs and spice. Classy and delicious, loved it!

Ondarre Reserva 2009, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$19.95
Year after year this is so darn good. Warm baking spices, vanilla oak, sweet and sour cherries, black pepper and leather. A creamy silky body makes this a joy to drink. Highly Recommended!

Pinyolet Garnacha 2012, Do Montsant
Catalonia, Spain$18.95
A little thin and sweet for my wine snob attitude. It does drink nicely with red fruit and smoky notes and finishes a touch dry. I guess the initial thin qualities hint to cheap Aussie wine and that's why i'm a tad tough on it. $10 would be a fair price.

Tawse Gamay Noir 2012, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$18.95
Beautiful expression of Gamay that bursts with ripe sun kissed fruit. Sweet ripe cherries, wax, earthiness and spice are textured with suave tannins. Highly recommend!

Mayu Reserva Carmenère 2013, Elquí Valley
Chile$17.95
Nice wine offering lots of sweet berry notes. I would have liked more structure and grippier tannins. This is a crowd pleaser however, so it won't offend anybody.
