Shaya Old Vine Verdejo 2009 $14.99, 90pts. WA---A traditional Spanish white with refreshing minerality and dry fruit notes making this a perfect summer wine.
Botani Moscatel Seco 2008 $17.99, 90pts. W&S---The Moscatel (also known as Muscat) is a grape you may have heard of and tried but only as a sweet desert wine. Botani is not that wine. Oh, it has residual sugar but instead of being sweet it translates into a heavy mouth feel but with reserved citrus notes and a wonder spiciness that lends itself pairing with food wonderfully.
Venta Morales Tempranillo $9.99---An pleasantly inexpensive Tempranillo from Spain (La Mancha to be exact) rich, ripe, and what I like to call "gulpable"---order a pizza, pour it into a water glass and have a great great evening.
Tarima Monastrell $9.99---Did I say pleasantly inexpensive? Well, Tarima is insanely inexpensive. Because this wine is AWESOME. If you've never had a Monestrell (and you should have had a Monastrell before because I push Jaun Gil ($17.99 91pts. WA) on just about anyone that comes into the store. Tarima is just a good and only $9.99! Dark violet notes rich chocolate and one of the best price to value ratios in the store.
