Chakana Malbec Mendoza – It is 100% Malbec from a single vineyard. Aged in mostly French oak, the 2011 has an inky purple color, plenty of chocolaty blackberry and cassis fruit, good acidity, sweet tannins and a fleshy, medium to full-bodied mouth feel with brieryfruit. 92 points at great price. $24.99

Chablis Vignoble Dampt Old Vines – Not your typical Chablis, this wine drinks like a stylish Chardonnay with a very settled oak treatment. Rich, creamy yet very elegant, this is a perfect shellfish companion. If you like Chardonnay this is the one. $22.99
Barnard Gri!n Port Syrah – A great surprise from Washington state. Rich chocolate flavors are accented by orange peel and raspberry notes. This vibrant, fruity port finishes nicely with an encore of bittersweet chocolate and rum. Absolutely delicious. $16.99
