January 23rd Vintages Release - ForGaucho fans

The Best Buy right now is the Vintages Essential Marques De Casa Concha Cabernet Sauvignon – three dollars off at $16.95 but the sale ends on the 24th.

Otherwise a nice Argentina release of very good but nothing earth shattering, guaranteed to sell, Cab’s and Malbecs. However my picks are not from gaucho land. I like the Santa Rita Medalla Real Cab from Chile and the Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Riserva from a great 2006 Italian vintage.


Among the others, “the Show” from California has been well received, the Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc is always good and I like the blended Clos de Los Siete.
