Check out these two beauties that are a part of our Warehouse Spelunking Sale.
Clos Mimi Petite Rousse 2005 Paso Robles, CA originally $25.99 now $12.99: Clos Mimi is more well know for the small amounts of single vineyard syrahs it produces. However, this entry level 100% syrah is also a beautiful version of the grape. Its done in a more Northern Rhone style with bright acidity & red fruit notes with hints of earth & mushroom. The palate is firm but fresh with clean textures that don't weigh down the palate.
Weinhaus Kaisergarten Seewinkler Ausbruch 1999 Neusiedlersee Austria $12.99. What exactly does all that gibberish mean? Yummy, sweet & tasty. This Austrian dessert wine is rich, viscous & lush with light acidity that is just enough to cut through the sweetness. It has rich honeyed, nutty notes with floral hints & a luscious palate. Pair this with foie gras, funky stinky blue cheese & toasted walnuts.

Sustainable vs Organic vs Biodynamic
Sustainable Farming: a form of viticultural practice which aims to avoid any form of environmental degradation while maintaining the economic viability of the vineyard. 
Organic Viticulture: is a system of grapegrowning broadly defined as shunning manmade (industrially synthesized) compounds such as fertilizers, fungicides & pesticides, as well as anything that has been genetically modified. It contrasts with “conventional” or “chemical” viticulture, by utilizing naturally occurring substances.
Biodynamic Viticulture: is an enhanced or extreme form of organic viticulture. It is based on theories expounded in the 1920s by the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner for agriculture in general. Biodynamics sees each vineyard as a living organism which can be maintained in a self-sustaining way. Agricultural work is timed to coincide with diurnal & seasonal rhythms & biodynamic spray & compost preparations are used at specified times on the land or directly on the crops to heighten their potentially beneficial effects. Conventional agrochemicals & fertilizers are prohibited. Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Hot Enough For The Pink Stuff
All you pink wine haters need to get over yourself & get in on the action. It's hot already, pretty soon it will be really damn hot here in Memphis. What's the best remedy? Dry rose wines. We are beefing up our selection of dry pinks here at the store. These are just some of our favorites.
Mulderbosch Rose of Cabernet 2008 Stellenbosch, South Africa $13.99. Bright pink tone with purple hues. The nose exhibits a smoky, rocky undertone with hints of dried currant & cherry. The palate is bright, round & medium bodied with juicy fruit & a fresh, clean texture. Delicious.
Simi Roseto 2006 California $10.99. Predominantly syrah. Brick-rust tone. Yes a 3 year old CA rose is still doing just fine. In fact, its quite yummy & refreshing if we do say so ourselves. It displays a nose of dried strawberry & raspberry with a hint of spiciness. The palate is lean & bright with a pop of acidity.
Chateau de Mattes Sabran 2006 Corbieres, France $15.99. Dark pink-salmon tone. Notes of dried raspberry, tarragon, wet stone & a briney hit. The palate is razor sharp at first & then spreads open with a pungent overripe fruit texture. Fun & tasty.
Zaca Mesa Z Gris 2008 Santa Ynez Valley $17.99. Light pink-salmon color. Nose of fresh strawberry, lime peel & cassis. The palate is light & fresh at first & then develops a soft weight with crisp acid & a lingering appealing aftertaste. Deeeelicious!
