Domaine Du Vieux Lazaret Châteauneuf Du Pape 2007, Ac
Rhône, France$39.95
Just what I expected! A wonderful blend chalked full of rich, sweet and well defined fruit flavours. A touch of spice is evident on the long rich finish. This wine lives up to its well deserved reputation!

Chateau De Gourgazaud 2009, Minervois
Languedoc, France$12.95
I was a bit disapointed in this wine based on high expectations. This style of wine, for me, needs 2 or more years in the cellar. A bit too tart in the finish, and a bit heavy on the oak. None of my guests felt they would buy this one! Tried this one on two seperate occasions with different people. Same result. The flavours you get from this one are extremely temperature dependant. Some, including petrol notes,were not desireable.

Thelema Shiraz 2006, Wo Stellenbosch
South Africa$19.95
A subtle bit of alcohol heat at the end works very well with a concentrated blast of ripe, dark fruit in the middle. Lots of punch and depth. Refreshing!

E. Guigal Cotes Du Rhone 2007
Rhône, France$19.95
Certainly dry on the finish with quite a lot of peppery spice. Good concentration and depth create an interesting wine. Perhaps a teeny bit too hardcore for some. If you prefer this style , you'll love it.

Catedral Reserva 2007, Dao
Portugal$10.95
A spicey oak finish follows a a moderate amount of blackberry and cherry vanilla. Great for the money, but will probably lose the jagged edges in a year or more, Good bargain

You don't need your imagination to enjoy this wine at such a price! Well balanced with enough interest to keep you coming back! An absolute bargain and very drinkable for anyone who even remotely enjoys wine.

An ordinary, and slightly interesting table wine that few will object to.

Casal Thaulero Sangiovese 2010, Terre Di Chieti, Abruzzo
Abruzzo, Italy$8.25
Unless you serve this wine relatively warm, you would be better off with almost anything else. You get what you pay for here, and not a penny more. Nothing wonderful, but can be horrible at cooler room temperatures. There is too much competition at or near this price point. Unripe tannins are the main issue.
