Chateau De Gourgazaud 2009, Minervois
Languedoc, France$12.95
Wow, now I really understand what all the fuss is about. Very nice, smooth, full body wine based on Syrah and Mourvèdre. And what a bargain at that price. For those of you that are big fans of Australian Shiraz, this is a great intro to French-style Shiraz. Enjoy ! Tasted January 2012.

André Blanck & Ses Fils Clos Schwendi Pinot Gris 2013, Ac Alsace
Alsace, France$19.95
Very nice, rich Pinot Gris, at its best when chilled and decanted a bit. Good bet for the holiday parties. Tasted November 2014.

Vitalonga Terra Di Confine 2006, Igt Umbria
Umbria, Italy$22.95
Very dark colour which announced it would be heavier than other Montepulciano wines. Still has a tannic edge to it (but no more greenness), which went away after 30 minute of decanting. Nice complexity to this wine and decent long finish. Tasted April 2014.

Château De Ciffre Terroirs D'altitude Saint Chinian 2011
Languedoc, France$14.75
Decent Syrah-Grenache blend from the south of France with a little bit too much heat to deserve a higher score. Tasted February 2015.

Deen De Bortoli Vat 8 Shiraz 2008, Southeastern Australia
Australia$8.95
Perfect wine when you want to play it safe during a Christmas party with lots of people with different tastes. Was very well received by my guests. I found it pleasant to drink. Nice dry Shiraz. Tried in December 2011.

Masi Brolo Di Campofiorin 2006, Igt Rosso Del Veronese
Veneto, Italy$26.95
i have been keeping this wine for a couple of years and was looking forward to the day I would open it. However, this wine did not live up to my optimistic expectations. My biggest disappointment was how light this wine turned out to be (let's say light to medium body range to be fair) and the associated acidity. Also, I found the flavors to be almost completely taken over by the oak. Tasted December 2011.
