   Teliani ’04, Mukuzani, Republic of Georgia
$16.99 bottle / $193.69 case
This red, made from the indigenous Saperavi grape is a stunner. Complex, exotic nose of mountain wildflowers, pomegranate, plum and oriental incense. The flavors are unctuous, exquisite and beautifully-focused, with lingering mineral and sweet oak undertones. Do try this! Reg: $19

Chiavennansca ’06 Terrazzo Retiche di Sondrio
$15.99 bottle / $182.29 case
This white, made of de-skinned Nebbiolo from Valtinella near the Alps is a winner. Chiavennansca is the local name for Nebbiolo in this Northern part of Lombardy. It exhibits an intriguing orange peel, Asian pear and hazelnut nose along with crisp peach, melon and plum fruit flavors that show a liveliness in the finish.

Txakoli ‘06 Txomin Etxaniz Txakoli de Guetaria, Basque Region, Spain
$14.99 btl / $170.89 cs
"..75% Hondarribi Zuri and 25% Hondarribi Beltza raised in stainless steel. Light straw in color with green highlights, it offers up an excellent nose of slate/mineral, citrus, and green apple. Crisp and vibrant on the palate, it has excellent concentration and length." 90 pts - Advocate. Reg: $25
