Concha Y Toro Serie Riberas Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Do Marchigue, Ribera Del Tinguiririca
Colchagua Valley, Chile$17.95
An excellent cab at the price, with balance, size, complexity and personality (with no funky flavours) that would make it a good deal for $20 or more. Not a boring smoothie
Still holding just fine in early '14, should have bought a case

Brigaldara Valpolicella 2010, Doc
Veneto, Italy$14.95
The anti-Parker wine, this is light on its feet, charming and long on the finish. An introvert of a wine but very easy to drink and enjoy.

Domæne Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner 2011, Niederösterreich

A steal at this price. Good complexity and vibrant freshness, with balance and length well beyond the price. Nice change of pace.

Over the hill at this late date?
