Weekend Wined Down


Tonight our free wine tasting fits the weather: gorgeous, creamy whites for sunny skies, and full-bodied sumptuous reds for cool, dark nights. Join us from 6 to 9pm to taste a Bordeaux Blanc (at 15% off), Sancerre Blanc, Australian Cabernet Sauvignon and a Ribera del Duero Crianza (the last three bottles at 10% off each). Whether the weather makes you crave a round white or a big, velvety red, Murray Hill Wines has you covered.
Chateau Bertranon Bordeaux Blanc Sec 2008, $16.99 (15% OFF today!)

The Semillon (55%) in this Bordeaux Blanc brings a calming, round touch to the lively and acidulous Sauvignon Blanc (45%) when blended.

Jean-Max Roger Sancerre Cuvee C.M. 2008, $19.99 (10% OFF today)

Creamy and well-rounded in the mouth, this Sancerre of full-bodied finesse comes from a small family-run estate in Sancerre within the Loire Valley region of France. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, the bright fruits of citrus and gooseberry are present though more mellow than a typical Sauvignon Blanc wine from the Sancerre region.

PONDER Cabernet Sauvignon Barossa Valley 2004, $14.99 (10% OFF today)

Aged in new and old French oak hogsheads for 20 months, this Australian Cabernet Sauvignon is complex and sweet with hints of violet, spice and black fruits. Sublte notes of cedar and oak make this tannic wine that coats your entire mouth even more divine. The wine is grown on single site vineyards in Barossa Valley. The vintage ranked among most outstanding vintages from Australia in last 15-20 years, so grab one of these limited release bottles (only 2,400 produced).

Montebaco Semele Crianza 2007, $19.99 (10% OFF today)

Smooth, sensuous, medium-to-full bodied and deliciously perfumey and aromatic, this Crianza of Tempranillo (90%) and Merlot (10%) grapes from Ribera Del Duero in Spain is aged for one year in oak casks and one year in bottle -- the required aging period to be designated a "Crianza". At once delicate and yet bursting with dark fruit and oak flavors, this is the wine we'll personally be sipping after work.
