Current Selections
In tough economic times the common perception of gotta get cheaper stuff usually becomes the catalyst for a self-fulfilling prophecy driving prices down is always good when quality remains static and labor is not sacrificed. That being said; the following wines were selected cause their prices are in perfect balance with their pleasure giving values. I like to think of the purchase of an appealing bottle of wine like a first date but then again, I have an over-active imagination
Selling wine would be so easy if all people had the same opinion as us... but NO!... you guys (a generic term that does not imply masculinity) just wanna make us guys (see above) do some work (a generic term that does imply superiority over the following generations)

We absolutely hate alphabetic listings, listings based upon price, ratings, relative size, vintages, or most any logical criteria... What follows is strictly random based on my throwing the names into a bowl and pulling them out... one-at-a-time.

REALLY GOOD BUT NOT CHEAP NEW STUFF:

(U.S.)    
             From Behrens & Hitchcock... 2004 Herrick Moulds Cab (95% Cab, 5%Merlot)...deep dark delicious         2004 July Fourteenth (Syrah; Cab: Merlot blend) bottled in Bastille Day 2007 - rereleased Feb 09'... fantastic; full; flavorful        2004 Erna Schein (B&H's new name since 06')... 91% Merlot; with Cab Franc and Petite Verdot... luscious, lovable liquid

             From Cathy Corison, her 04' Napa Cab (95 pts) that drink well now (with swirling, aerating, or decantering) but will be awesome from this autumn forward another 4-6 years... 100% Cab that is virtually opaque.

             Plus... OWC has limited quantities of the following SUPER STUD (a generic term I often apply to myself) WINES! Altas Peak 04' (on sale); Robert Floey 06' Claret (97 pts); 2005 Hourglass (97 pts); 06' Plumpjack (their best wine-ever); 05' Quintesse, Barnett 06 Rattlesnake Hill and Cyrus Ryan Cabs; Sherwin Family 05' Spring Mtn. Cab; 04' Stags Leap"Cask 23";2005 Andersons ConnValley Reserve Cab, Eloqe, and Right Bank...; 2006 Lewis Napa Cab and Reserve; Switchback Ridge 06; and over 400 other CaliforniaCab, Merlot and Franc-based wines

BUT HEY; you say, WHAT ABOOT (for or Canadian Customers) US WHO DON'T WANT SPENDY WINES...
                   WE NEED SOME STIMULUS!

(Stim-u-lus; noun:something well-meaning but ill-conceived that applies only to those who will not use it correctly)

          BROADSIDE... a 2007 Paso Robles Cabernet that is, quite simply the best 20-buck Cab we have seen in years

          La Valentina 2006 Montepuliciano d' Abruzzo... plenty of color, flavor and depth...
