92 Points for ABC Chardonnay!!
Cheers from the Duke of Bourbon!

First of all, the Duke wants to congratulate our good friend Jim Clendenen. His wonderful wine, Au Bon Climat 2000 Estate Bottled Chardonnay, Santa Maria Valley, XX Anniversary - "Passant des Nuits-Blanches au Bouge" (whew!), earned a score of 92 points in the most recent issue of Wine Spectator.

We have long been a supporter of Jim's efforts and have sold his wines for many years. Jim has been a regular participant at our events over the years and never fails to amaze us with the quality and variety of the wines he presents. We have tasted this particular wine several times over the last few months and it keeps getting better and better. We have found it to be a "mouthful" and true to the Burgundian style of Au Bon Climat. Nobody could be happier for Jim to receive this honor than the Duke.

James Laube of the Wine Spectator scored it at 92 points and said:

"Opens with floral and sandalwood aromatics, then shows off a beam of smoky lemon, citrus, spicy pear, pineapple and anise flavors, finishing in a long, elegant aftertaste. Firm acidity should give this wine a wider drinking window. Drink now through 2009."

Now is the time to pick up a 6-pack and watch a great Chardonnay develop over the next few years. We'll help you in that regard. The wine normally retails for $35.00, but we have been selling it for just $29.99 per bottle. Pick up a 6-pack and we will subtract an additional 5%. Here's a great bargain for you fans of ABC. If you are not yet a fan, taste this wine and become one of us.

The wine is in short supply so call us today!
