  (DEUX FRERES Usseglio CdP) Re-order Dear Friends, We had two large containers arrive this week and they've finally been unloaded - with that comes whatever was left at the winery from some of our most popular offers of last year (when I receive a disproportionate number of re-order requests for something, I ask the winery to set aside whatever they can spare but it's usually only a few dozen bottles) - eventually, all of these small parcels show up in a container filled with other items and so it was this week - the margins on all of the items below are very low so FIRST COME FIRST SERVED up to 6/each until we run out. You can throw darts at this list - all are more than worth their salt and are considered among the very best wines of the world for their genre - the prices should be among the lowest available as well. ALL ARE DIRECTLY FROM THE SOURCE WITH PERFECT PROVENANCE - ALL HAVE ARRIVED (no pre-arrivals): 2007 Mas Mudigliza "Carmine" (Cotes Catalanes) This was the most popular under $20 offer of fall 2008 and for good reason - it jump started the 2007 "southern insanity" with one of the more quoted offers of last year. Decanter loved the 2006 version of this old-vine Grenache and David Schildknecht's comments on the 2007 didn't hurt: "... and wait until you taste the 2007 Carmine, which has yet to be bottled but is already showing amazing complexity and polish! The proprietors have already announced a significant price increase for that wine, and well they should given their outstanding achievements." (that statement was made during a review of the 2006 Carmine, which he gave 90pts to, so you can use your imagination for the 2007) - This is the last parcel of 2007 the winery had - "significant price increase or not" we raised the price by one cent over the 2006 - look for prices closer to $25 in the US. EXTREMELY LIMITED 2007 Mas Mudigliza "Caudalouis" Blanc (Cotes Catalanes) This is Mudigliza's most limited wine - think Vieux Telegraphe Blanc meets Knoll and you will see why each vintage sells out at the winery the first day of release... EXTREMELY LIMITED 2007 Casa Marin Sauvignon Blanc "Cipreses" (San Antonio) (W&S95) This wine also struck a chord with many of you - if I recall, it was the highest rated Chilean white wine ever by the Chilean press - this is the last of the 2007: (only a few dozen bottles left at this price). 2007 Peuch Auriol "Ad Hoc" (Herault) Basically, this is just a crazy artisanal value from the 2007 southern bounty - everyday wine for a number of palate preferences - VERY HARD TO FIND: 2005 Usseglio CdP "Reserve des Deux Freres" Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA SOFR7793 SOFR7794 SOFR7795 Chile5680 Rhone4689
