MONTECILLO 2002

Montecillo 2002 is a red wine from Rioja Spain. Delicious and smooth the red wine is another great from Spain. Highly recommended in the same league with Marques de Riscal and Marques the Caceres.

CAMPO VIEJO 2004



Campo Viejo is a nice Tempranillo possibly better tasting than Penascal. It's from the Rioja vineyards in Spain.

PENASCAL 2004 TEMPRANILLO



This Tempranillo from Spain's Castilla and Leon is a great wine, goes good with cheese, pastas, and any meat especially steaks.

LAZO 2006


Another great wine from Chile, my favorite wine country, from the Central Valley, this one not as great as Gato Negro, but still worth the buy and taste.

SAINT LOUIS 1998



Barton and Guestier produced this Beaujolais Burgundy but it doesn't match the quality of the Louis Jadot. Very acid the wine tends to leave a rather "stingy" buzz in the palette. It received an AC rating from the French government like the Louis Jadot. We don't consider it as great tasting however.

LOUIS JADOT BEAUJOLAIS VILLAGES 2005



Imported from France to New York, this Burgundy is a tad acidic, of course being a nice tannic red, it's expected. A great drink with meats of any kind, this French wine follows the Appellation d'Origine Controlee (AC), the highest standard in France.
