This wine is traditionally distributed through restaurants and is hard to find at retail. It's a thought-provoking and interestingly complex wine. Made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Ribolla Gialla, Semillon, and Tocai Friulano using a laborious and very natural process (left on lees and never racked), you can taste the attention to detail.

This wine has everything going on—a virtual party in the mouth! Last month, we shipped an elegant and restrained style of Zinfandel. In contrast, this month's Zin is pure rock-n-roll. Keep your eye on this winery; they've been getting a lot of good press lately.

I can’t believe I never put this wine into the club selections. At $12 a bottle, it won’t tax the wine budget. This is a great all-around white—great with food or to drink with your friends. I love this blend with Mexican food, as well as traditional Provence-style food. A very versatile wine.

Kacher writes: "La Hitaire estate was purchased by Yves Grassa over 20 years ago. At this time Yves planted Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon to the existing classic Gascony varietals. Today it is owned and worked by his two sons, Rémy and Armin, who are in their early thirties. The property lies about 10 miles from Domaine de Pouy. The vinification techniques used here were learned at Domaine de Pouy. All the grapes are picked in the early morning and the picking bins are lined with dry ice to keep the fruit cold and protect against oxidation. The fruit is them macerated cold between 6-10 hours to extract flavors from the skins. All of the wines here are made completely in stainless steel tank. These extra details insure the awesome quality that we have all come to expect from the Grassa family. 'Hors Saison' is a blend made from 20+ year old Sauvignon Blanc 85% and Semillon 15% and displays high toned fruit in the nose and mouth with a round mouth-feel and long finish."

Great acidity gives excellent balance to the body of this wine. It maintains the tension and keeps things interesting. Have it with antipasto or a veggie pasta dish with Parmesan cheese. A classy wine at a great price. You can taste the dedication in this wine from a small family-run winery.

Alert! New Camacho house red!! Perfect for the transition of seasons. Not too light and not too full—it's just right! A great wine for parties and everyday fare.

Here is 100% Montepulciano. The inviting leather-filled nose is supple and full-bodied but it can deftly handle many foods. The personality of the winemaker really shines through.

Wine award for the 03 version: "...here's a secret. Enrico di Giulio makes absolutely killer Montepulciano in Italy's Molise province. His 2003 Molise Rosso, from vineyards within spitting distance from the Adriatic, is lively and fresh. I've made it my go-to wine for summer barbecues."—Wolfgang Weber, Critic's Picks, Wine and Spirits Magazine, June 2007

Here is a elegant style of Zinfandel—not surprising since this winery has made their mark on small production Chards and Pinots. Go ahead and light up the grill but reach for a pork tenderloin and forgo the spice. Enjoy the smooth floral and plum notes this delightful style delivers. Their site describes it as, "Aromatically, the wine fills the glass with scents of Bing cherry, cinnamon spice and bramble. The brightness of the nose portends the exceptional liveliness in the mouth, which just bursts with sweet cherry fruit and molasses overtones. The freshness of the wine carries through the long sour cherry finish."
