This wine represents an amazing value in what we might call "ideal summer whites." It's a 2011 Torrontes whose fresh citrus and tropical fruit combines with a bit of minerality to create the perfect companion to a hot summer day.

Just released: out of Ridge's thirteen dazzling Zinfandel wines, their Paso Robles has to be in the top 3. This highly anticipated wine is chock-full of ripe cherry and strawberry aromas with a very appealing mouthfeel. It's ready for drinking when you are!

We love Girard's wines so much that we're promoting two of their wines in as many weeks! This is one of those perfect warm-weather wines...just head outside in the sun, serve chilled with some light fare, and your day is complete.

Here's a break from all the "serious" wines we post: Wines for Dummies has arrived! We have Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Chianti, and Pinot Grigio, and they would all make the perfect gag gift for that "serious" wine connoisseur friend that everyone has.

This refreshing Chardonnay is the perfect steal! Santa Ema stands for the utmost in value when it comes to entry-level varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and this crisp, flavorful white. Their Reserve line sees extra aging in the barrel as well as in the bottle, so the wine really has time to "marinate" and soak up all the flavors of the oak.

Only 600 cases produced and we've got our supply secured for arrival later this May! Bedrock is a winery dedicated to boosting Syrah's image in America and with this vintage they've done a fine job. Hewing closely to the classic Rhône blueprint, this wine is a perfect example of what Syrah can do in the right hands.

Hi Saro, I'd recommend a bottle of Baker's 7yr. It's a "boutique label" of Jim Beam (actually named after Beam's grandnephew Baker) and it's a nice step up from your everyday bourbons to give as a gift. For another I'd check out Blanton's Original Single Barrel which is also on our site.

Jim Beam Devil's Cut United States Bourbon 1000ml

Between a cellar made from hemp, natural compost fertilizer, recycled glass bottles and labels, and a wind farm on site, this might be the most environmentally friendly winery in the world. This organic wine is thick with flavors of raspberry and blackberry preserves coupled with a smoky savory vein, and it's drinking well right now, so why wait?

In celebration of the Rolling Stones 50th anniversary, Crystal Head Vodka is offering this awesome gift pack. It features one of Crystal Head's famous skull-shaped bottles along with a special edition 2-CD live album, not available anywhere else. We think it's the coolest gift for any fan of the Stones.

This wine makes us think of Eddie Murphy singing "The Greatest Love of All" in a ridiculous wig. (From the movie Coming to America!) This wine is a delicious blend of Zinfandel along with two classic Bordeaux varieties which makes for an excellent pairing with Sicilian pizza or hanger steak.

This Eden Valley Riesling is a serious winner, offering up bunches of tangy ripe limes and grapefruit coupled with a cool mineral quality that really quenches the palate on a warm spring day. This vintage has been rated an impressive 96 points by James Halliday!

Purple Angel is an elegant expression of Carmenere, and its quality and purity of flavor just seem to increase year after year. This 2010 is packed full of savory goodness and earth to match its ripe juicy fruit. In addition to pricing this wine at our cost, we're also including free shipping on any quantity.

Don't be thrown off the by name: this is real French brandy! Bottled after ten years of aging in oak barrels and a double distillation in French cognac alembics, this brandy is incredibly smooth and easily stands up to more expensive bottles.

This 2009 Chalk Hill Red is a cornucopia of flavors, ranging from ripe red cherries and blackberries to spice and rustic earth tones. We're offering this amazing blend at a huge savings, even lower than it was being offered for a few months ago. It's the ultimate pairing with a nice juicy steak and some mixed greens.

Merry Edwards Sauv Blanc is one of those white wines that really makes us look forward to spring. With its bright acidity and full flavors of pear and fig, It's the perfect wine to celebrate the return of the warm weather. Open a bottle with some seafood and enjoy!

Like the Campo Viejo Tempranillo we posted yesterday, this is another wine where you're getting a huge return on a very small investment. Critics from Wine Advocate and International Wine Cellar both lavished praise on this juicy, nicely balanced Mencia wine that would be a hit at any party.

This is a great Tempranillo in the super-value vein; for just over nine bucks it's a modern expression of Rioja from one of the biggest producers in the region. We love it with a good chicken parmesan or some nice nutty Asiago.

The Bandol AOC is not typically known for its red wines (you'll usually see rosés come out of this region), but the wine world is quickly discovering its potential as a diamond in the rough. This is unique among Provençal reds and shouldn't be passed over!

This is a 100%-Mencia wine with a really fresh, velvety character. We've just received word that the 2011 vintage of this wine has hit our shores, so once our stock of this 2010 vintage is gone, it's gone for good!

This excellent Bordeaux-style blend (made with Cab, Merlot, Cab Franc and others) really reminds us of Chappellet's commitment to making sure the Old World way of doing things is not forgotten in today's fast-paced wine industry. It has the earth that a good Bordeaux should have, but doesn't go overboard on the fruit like some of its California cousins.

This highly limited Chardonnay is back with a vengeance in its 2011 incarnation. If you've tried the 2010, you know that Red Shoulder Ranch produces great fruit for Shafer. The 2011 is a bit creamier by comparison but has the same depth of flavor.

Hi Saro, I'd give Jefferson's Reserve a try. It's a delicious, syrupy bourbon with lots of caramel and vanilla. Really nice!
