Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon
It sometimes seems that we offer so many wines at the higher end of the price spectrum that we forget that people need something "to drink on Wednesday night." So, we have decided to offer some attractively priced wines that we think you might enjoy. If the descriptions are not adequate, dial the phone! We will be happy to describe each one to the extent of our limited vocabularies. Joseph Phelps Vineyards 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon, Innisfree This special cuvee is produced in limited quantities and is intended as an everyday drinking wine in the Phelps spectrum of Cabernet Sauvignon. This new vintage certainly has lots of fruit and substance! The color is deep ruby with aromas of cherries, spicy oak and some citrus. Good acidity and nice tannins support the delicious cherry and cocoa/mocha notes on the palate. Normally retailing for $25.00, the Duke's price - $19.99 per bottle. Buy it by the 6-pack for $102.00 and save - $17.00 per bottle!

Bricco Buon Natale 2003 Barbera We here at the Duke are always thrilled when one of our good friends gets some national media attention. Take last week, for instance, when Jim Clendenen's Cal-Ital effort, Bricco Buon Natale Barbera, was featured in an article by LA Times columnist Corie Brown. Jim is best-known for his Burgundian efforts under the Au Bon Climat label, but he has made outstanding Cal-Ital wines for many years featuring fruit from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard (pictured). Looking at that gorgeous landscape, one understands why so many fabulous wines are produced from there. We have the 2003 Barbera available. The vintage was a near-perfect growing season and the wine is generous on the palate with great cherry fruit leading the way. The acidity is still bright and crisp, making this still a perfect wine to go with hearty Italian foods. Any rich, red sauce on pasta sounds like a perfect meal to complement this sensational wine.So, expand your horizons and try a Cal-Ital varietal from the Central Coast with a great QPR. The 2003 Barbera has a regular retail price of $12.00 per bottle. Call the Duke and order yours for just $9.99 per bottle. Buy 12 or more and save an additional 5%! Great wine!! Greater bargain!! Don't miss out!!

Chaparral 2004 Chardonnay One of the things we love here at the Duke is a high-quality wine that is easily affordable. Working with Jim Clendenen (of Au Bon Climat fame), we have developed a sensational wine at a price that makes it ideal for parties and receptions. Sorry, we can't offer effusive quotes from Parker or the Wine Spectator. It is barrel-fermented and goes through malolactic fermentation. This is a rich, fruity wine that is simply delicious and will go well with a wide variety of foods and situations. Jim makes a similar Chardonnay that we have seen on a local restaurant's wine list for $40.00. We think our Chaparral is a good value at the estimated retail price of $18.00. It is available here at the Duke (we've owned the Chaparral label since 1977) and we have it for you at just $11.99 per bottle ($71.94 per 6-pack.) Hint: Turn that 6-pack purchase into a full case to make the cost of shipping more effective.
Better yet, get acquainted with all three of these high QPR beauties. Buy 4 of each and save 15% on the case - just $142.70 for all 12 bottles! Call the Duke today and save! At least you will have a great, inexpensive wine for weekdays!Note: Prices are good only while our supplies last and may be changed at any time without notice.
Think of fine wine! Think of the Duke!
