GOOD MORNING NOVEMBER!

One hundred and thirty nine times . . . that's the number of months we have done a mixed case without changing the price. We won't now, but we will offer an upgrade! In this issue you will find two mixed case offerings, one at our standard $10 bottle average and now . . . 
Son of Mixed Case! Wines at an average of $15 bottle after discount. In the original mixed case you could find great values and fun discoveries. In Son of Mixed Case you will find much more serious and "weighty" wines.

We wouldn't be City Wine if we didn't let you "mix the mixed cases" That's right, just like a Chinese restaurant you can choose one from column A and one from column B to create you own selection and they will all receive the 20% discount. Is this a great store or what?

November Mix and Match The mixed case is $119.88 after discount, before taxes. Son of mixed case is $180.00 after discount, before taxes. PRINT this page Mixed Case A Reds       2003 Château Franc 2003 Petit Figeac, Bordeaux A crackerjack Bordeaux with telltale graphite and cedar in the nose. "Manly" tannins that give grip and substance to the palate. A match for substantial dishes of all kinds Price before discount. $15.99 Top       Vina Urbezo 2001 Ooh, this is interesting, Tempranillo, Grenache and Syrah crushed using the "Beaujolais method" of maceration carbonique. Wild aromatics and fluffy on the palate. Price before discount. $9.99 Top       Tavignano 2004 Rosso Montepulciano and Sangiovese, an Italian "flair" with nice roasted flavors. Silky tannins and pretty style. Price before discount. $15.99 Top       Big Yellow Cab Cab 2005 Why can't you get a cab when you need one? Well, now you can and the fare won't break you! Once around the park, please Price before discount. $10.99 Top       St. Martin 2005 Pinot Noir File this one under P.P.P. "Perfect Party Pinot" Has all the attributes, crowd pleasing softness, a screwtop, a modest price and it's Pinot Noir, the trendy grape of 2006. $10.99 Top       Staff Pick Red! Selected from our imagination! A scary thought perhaps, but never dull. Look for value and interest and above all, fun! Top Mixed Case A Whites       Cantosan 2004 Verdejo, Spain A Spanish original. Very clean, fresh and smile inducing flavors. Has good "genes" We can see pulling the cork on this one at the end of the day $15.99 Top       Botromagno 2005 Gravina The only producer of this wine, 60% Greco and 40% Malvasia. This is neat because it gives a wonderful sense of Southern Italy, fragrant, sexy and redolent of the sea. Price before discount. $10.99 Top       Labaio Ruffino 2005 Chardonnay Not all Chardonnay tastes like a fruit cocktail at back to school night. This one pairs with food. Why? It's Italian and Italians know food. Price before discount. $12.99 Top       Yvon Mau 2005 Seigneurs de Bergerac, Bordeaux Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc from this little known region (Three Musketeers, Cyrano) A "gland grabber" that's good! This one reaches in under the tongue and grabs the Salivary gland and gives it a squeeze! Price before discount. $9.99 Top       House Wine 2005, Washington This one has Abbot and Costello ready. What's your house wine? House wine. I know, but what's it's name? House wine. Who's on first? Who cares, it's good. $13.99 Top       Staff Pick White! Selected from our imagination! A scary thought perhaps, but never dull. Look for value and interest and above all, fun! Top Mixed Case B - $180.00 Reds       Fleur de Pinot 2005 Earthy and elegant, a stylish soft and aromatic Pinot to "feast" upon. $17.99 Top       2004 Boschis Barbera Gobs of dark blueberry and cassis fruit. Gutsy weight and cachet. Would make a handsome addition to your cellar or for grilled meats. $19.99 Top       Gundach Bundschu 2003 Mountain Cuvée Deep and luscious fruit, coffee, black fruits and subtle vanilla tones. A delicious drink from one of Sonoma's oldest and most venerable wineries. $22.99 Top       Hongell Grenache/Shiraz 2001 Wow, pops with spice, pepper and mint. A terrific wine drinking beautifully now. Versatile at table, lamb, spicy Mediterranean dishes. $21.99 Top       Le Pigeoulet 2005, Rhone Valley Our first look at the celebrated 2005 vintage from the Southern Rhone, young vines from Vieux Telegraphe Chateaunuef du Pape. Scrumptuous! $17.99 Top       Staff Pick Red! Selected from our imagination! A scary thought perhaps, but never dull. Look for value and interest and above all, fun! Top Mixed Case B Whites       Nalle 2005 Sauvignon Blanc We love this style with the added dimension of a dollop of Chardonnay. Has all the delicious dimensions of citrus and mineral with a weight and viscosity to make it that much better. $22.99 Top       St Veran 2005, France This is the pleasure-seekers Chardonnay. Balance, finesse fruit, and a sensibility only achieved in France. Highly recommended. $19.99 Top       Bottex Bugey Cerdon Do not be afraid of this very individual style. It's highly addictive. Gamay and Poulsard grapes, it bubbles, it's pink (sort of) it's low alcohol, it's a little sweet. It's fun! $22.99 Top       Jezebel 2005 Blanc A delightful cornucopia of flavors. Very user-friendly and a great companion to poultry and side dishes (hint, hint). $15.99 Top       Trinquevedel 2005 Tavel A rose that is so dark it defies the description. Very bold style from Grenache, makes a nice transition into autumn cuisine. $15.99 Top       Staff Pick White! Selected from our imagination! A scary thought perhaps, but never dull. Look for value and interest and above all, fun! Top Herb and spice pairing chart: Flavoring that dish with fresh herbs and spices? Keep this general gauge in mind when thinking of the wine.
