Varanda Do Conde Alvarinho/Trajadura Vinho Verde 2010, Doc, Sub Região Monção E Melgaço
Vinho Verde, Portugal$13.95
Lemony, mineraly, and floral on the nose. It has crisp acidity and some fizz with a lingering lemony aftertaste. Good summer wine, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Araucano Syrah 2009, Lolol Valley
Colchagua Valley, Chile$14.95
Leather, spice, sweet cherry, and chocolate on the nose. The wine has lots of fruit and is well-balanced as well as being medium-to-full bodied. Fantastic value.

Cherries, blackberry, and spices on the nose. Fruity with slightly green tannins. It is still pretty good, but the two previous vintages were superior.
