PARKER'S WINE OF THE DAY!

"Palazzone’s 2009 Orvieto Classico Superiore Terre Vineate (Procanico, Grechetto) is flat-out delicious, not to mention a steal for the money. Everything is in perfect balance as ripe, juicy peaches, flowers and minerals emerge from this mid-weight white. In 2009 the Terre Vineate ...seems to have a touch more plumpness than normal, which works beautifully here. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012. 89 Points."

No Brainer.

We've secured an AMAZING deal on Duval-Leroy NV Brut. How amazing? Well, ask your QWS rep. We will tell you that for less than what you'd pay for a bottle of nice domestic bubbles you can get real - and really great - Champagne.

MAS GUIOT 2007 CAB/SYRAH IS PARKER'S WINE OF THE DAY!

"The 2007 Vin de Pays blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Syrah (by the way, the labels actually say this on the front so it is impossible to confuse them) exhibits even more complex aromatics of tobacco leaf, spice box, black currant, cedar, and earth. In the mouth, the wine has exuberant fruit, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and surprising elegance and purity. This is another impressive wine to drink over the next 2-3 years. 89 Points."

Improbabilities.

Who would have guessed it? Spain has won their first-ever World Cup title. Celebrations are still taking place throughout España, and around the globe, wherever Spainards congregate. No doubt the Cava is flowing...

...but who's Cava should be flowing? As you may have guessed, we have our own thoughts on that.

Allow us to introduce you to Bodegas U Mes U Fan Tres, a wonderful winery located within the Cava D.O. in Spain. Here they make an eponymously named sparkling wine that's a refreshing blend of 45% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada and 25% Macabeo. Completely estate-grown and hand-harvested, the wine undergoes a second fermentation commenced in bottle, which takes three months at 57 degrees F to complete. The wine is aged in the bottle for at least 16 months before disgorging and is disgorged several times per year, so length of time on yeast varies. All bottles are marked with a disgorgement date on the back label.

The wine is an embodiment of all that is good about Cava: fresh, invigorating and just plain fun to drink. Praised by Robert Parker as a "solid value", and named by Steven Tanzer as one of the top Cavas in the market, U Mes U Fan Tres Cava is imported by our friends at Grapes of Spain, the most-exciting portfolio of Spanish wines in the U.S. today.

This wine is the perfect match for all manner of Summertime fare, and a great way to celebrate a national victory. As for the name, U Mes U Fan Tres? It's Spanish for 'one plus one equals three'. Something as improbable as, say, most people thought Spain's chances were of winning the World Cup.
