You Be The Judge!
Wine From The Montinore Estate In Oregon
Cheers from the Duke of Bourbon!!

All Rise!! The court of wine (and price) appreciation is now in session.

The Duke has done it again. We have several previous convictions for finding great wine at incredibly low prices. Exhibit A - Chateau Woltner 1998 Chardonnay, Howell Mountain at $6.99 per bottle or just $72.00 per case. Exhibit B - Gabbiano 2001 Pinot Grigio at just $4.99 per bottle or $47.88 per case.

Now another count has been filed against us. We found a sensational 1999 Chardonnay, Winemaker's Reserve from the Montinore Estate in Oregon, originally retailing for $22.00 per bottle, and are offering it for sale at $6.99 per bottle or just $39.00 per 6-pack case.

Here is our defense:

Montinore Estate is located in the northern end of the Willamette Valley appellation just 30 miles west of Portland. The weather conditions are similar to those in Burgundy and are ideal for growing Chardonnay. All the grapes are estate grown. The wines are hand-crafted, true to their varietal characteristics and meant to go with foods. They are flavorful, full-bodied and balanced. We tasted this wine and found it delightful. It opens on the nose with ripe apples, butter and toasty oak followed by flavors of apple, pineapple and hazelnuts. The finish is long and filled with fruit. Yummy!

Expert witnesses testify on our behalf also. Wine Spectator rates it "Very Good." The Beverage Testing Institute says "Highly Recommended."

Being the judge, you will certainly find the Duke "Guilty" of once again selling incredible wine at low prices. But once you taste the wine, we're sure you will give us a suspended sentence.

This session of the court is now adjourned.

Call us with your verdict.
