(VESUVIO Quinta do) Dessert Bargains Dear Friends, Trying to fight jet-lag and it’s getting the best of me. Sometimes I wish you cold snap your fingers to control the sensory controls that dwell within the brain - the place that spearheads the complicated mix of melatonin and other brain chemicals to make you feel awake - would have come in handy during my college exams and certainly right now. Yikes, I’m exhausted....and it’s only 8:00am... We don’t offer dessert wines very often but here are two great bargains that have just been confirmed and both are well under-priced for the market. The Rieussec is a top price/value contender from a vintage that is completely overlooked because it had the misfortune of following one of the greatest vintages in history but, If you are looking for a well-priced split of Sauternes while you wait for your 2001s to fully mature, here you go. The Vesuvio is just a great buy and it is actually drinking really well right now. With a decade of age on the wine, this is a vintage Port you can bring to a special dinner and receive many satisfied stares in your direction. It will continue to age but it’s also a joy to drink at present - especially at this price. Both of these are in perfect condition, cellared under ideal conditions at 55 degrees since release: 2002 Chateau Rieussec (375ml) (WA90 - no tasting note) ...also... 1997 Quinta do Vesuvio (Port) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Bord8420 Port7900
