Fontanafredda Barolo 2007, Piedmont
Piedmont, Italy$29.95
Pale garnet colour, quite pronounced aromas of red fruit, floral and a nice earthiness. It's medium bodied with a long finish.

Mont Marçal Brut Reserva Cava, Do
Spain$18.95
This cava scored high in a blind tasting with friends. At this price, you really could drink a great sparkling every day. I'm going to stock up for the holidays.

Bodega Del Abad Dom Bueno Crianza 2001, Do Bierzo
Galicia, Spain$14.95
I decanted this one off the sediment and let it stand for 30 minutes (thanks Dan & Blair above). Very nice wine, I'm glad I bought more.

Quinta Da Ponte Pedrinha 2008, Doc Dão
Dão, Portugal$13.75
At $14.95, this may be the value pick of the release. Full of ripe fruit but not jammy. It's very smooth and easy to drink.

Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, Mendocino County
California, Usa$19.95
Rich black cherry and vanilla, but not sweet. Nice acidity and tannin balance and a hit of spice on the finish. I'm really enjoying this one.
