Orin Swift 2009 Saldo Zinfandel, California $ 49.99
It isn’ t often that a wine stops me in my tracks and makes me say“ WOW!” but this powerhouse Zin will knock your socks off. Big, bold, and brambly with a distinct pop of ripe dark juicy fruit— this is California Zinfandel at its best. Don’ t let the simplicity of the packaging fool you: this wine is serious business.

Bodegas Muñoz 2009 Legado Muñoz Garnacha Vina de la Tierra de Castilla, Spain $ 10.99
At Banville & Jones, we are constantly looking for wines that have a high quality-to-price ratio: wines that taste more expensive than they really are. The Legado Muñoz Garnacha delivers: it exhibits flavours and aromas of white pepper, violets, and maraschino cherries, and has excellent structure to stand up to the heartiest dishes. This is the ultimate entertaining wine.
Lange Twins 2007 Midnight Reserve Lodi, California $ 39.99
The Lange Twins never disappoint. Whether drinking a glass on its own or enjoying it with a beautiful dinner, this wine lends itself so well to both. It is a rich blend of Petit Verdot( 41 %), Cabernet( 26 %), Merlot( 25 %) and Malbec( 8 %) that gives a very robust smell of berries that only gets stronger and more enjoyable as it continues to open up.

The new 911 has arrived. Redefining the standard, as it always has. More than 90 % of its parts are completely new or significantly re-engineered. But behind it all, the same race-bred passion that has defined every 911. Reduced weight, lower fuel consumption and increased horsepower with improved stability and driver comfort. Porsche. There is no substitute.

Paolo Scavino 2009 Langhe Bianco DOC, Italy $ 18.99
This delightful blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay comes from one of the top producers in Northern Italy. Flavours of peaches and ripe apples dominate on the palate, while a touch of oak adds texture to this fresh wine. Enjoy with seafood, pasta, or as an aperitif to any dinner!
Rob Stansel
La Forge Estate 2009 Marsanne Reserve Vin de Pays d ' Oc IGP, France $ 18.99
A“ country wine” grown near the once-impregnable citadel of Carcassonne, the Mas family’ s Marsanne is anything but medieval. Taking a cue from the Aussies, Paul and his sons have produced a fresh, tropical-fruit-laden white with Chardonnay-like weight and perfumed, peachy aromatics. Drink it now with lobster wontons.
Sylvia Jansen
Jacques Bruère 2007 Brut Reserve Cap Classique WO Robertson, South Africa $ 28.99
This South African gem is the every- Saturday bubbly for sparkling lovers. Made in the traditional( Champagne) style, the fruit is rich and nicely balanced with creamy, freshly baked bread notes, and a lovely sparkling mousse. Noble Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes provide the components to this great wine. Enjoy with anything from starters to aftertheatre snacks!
