| Robert Parker Issue 175 - Spain & Rhone |
From Jay Miller's Vintage Profile Issue 175:
'Rhone- Now that virtually all of the 2005s are in bottle, this is a vintage of structured, masculine wines with high acidity as well as high tannin. The finest red wines possess enough concentration to stand up to their structure and tannin...'
'Spain - Spanish wines continue to be en fuego in a highly competitive wine market. Most of the wines for this report are from the 2004, 2005, and 2006 vintages. While Spain is a large, diverse region in which it is difficult to generalize about vintages, in the principal regions 2004 and 2005 are highly regarded with 2006 considered very good to excellent. To the extent that generalizations are possible, 2004 seems to have produced riper, more aromatic wines while the 2005s are more structured and should have longer drinking windows. 2006 was a cooler and wetter vintage resulting in wines with lower alcohol and more elegance than power. Rioja was the most affected by rain with many producers cutting production dramatically.' Contact your sales person for opportunities.

| The Wine Advocate - Issue 174 - The Best of Northern California & Argentina |
"Following is a look at most of the finest wines being made in northern California... I’m sure a few wineries get overlooked in my pursuit of the best, and my apologies to those estates." ~R.Parker,Jr.
"Wines from Argentina are an emerging force in the United States wine market but, until this review, there had never been a stand-alone feature on Argentina in the 29 year history of The Wine Advocate...there has been an increased focus on lowering yields, discovering new vineyard sites, and experimenting with clones." ~ Jay Miller
