New Age

Elsa Bianchi New Age from Argentina

We introduced the New Age wine last summer with a fantastic response from everyone who tried it. This blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Malvasia is an effervescent wine with plenty of citric fruit flavors. It is extremely refreshing, vivacious and sensual.

We like to serve it on the rocks with a twist of lime. It has low alcohol (9.5%) so you can sip it all afternoon without overdoing it. It’s great for a backyard barbecue or just relaxing by the pool.

Just in time for the 4th of July weekend, we are offering a fantastic deal.

Buy 5 bottles and get the sixth FREE!

Buy 10 bottles and get two bottles FREE!

The regular price is only $10 per bottle.

So stock up on this great summer wine and be a hit with all your friends this weekend.

Ridge Geyserville 2008

Ridge is one of our favorite vineyards. This Santa Cruz Mountain based winery produces first rate wines from grapes sourced from its own Santa Cruz area vineyards as well as Sonoma, Monterey, and Paso Robles vineyards. We are proud to serve many of the fine wines from this vineyard.

The new 2008 Geyserville is now in stock: Ripe, exotic and loaded with personality. Aromas of ripe blackberry, underbrush and licorice lead to concentrated huckleberry and cracked-pepper beef flavors that finish with lively tannins. Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah and Mataro. 2007 was rated 91 points by Wine Spectator. The 2008 is not yet rated.

The new 2008 Santa Cruz Mountain Chardonnay is also in stock: Combines richness with an elegant, delicate mouthfeel, showing deep layers of ripe fig and green pear, honeydew melon and smoky oak. Balanced, focused, pure and lingering. 2007 was rated 92 points by Wine Spectator. The 2008 is not yet rated. We do have few bottles of the 2007 still left in the store.

You can purchase Ridge wines directly at UnCorked Wine Bar or save by ordering on-line at our webwine.com one-line store and pick up the wine at the store.

Turn Four Cabernet

One of our latest discoveries is a bold big Napa Cabernet that is only $22. Made by the venerable Bennet Lane winery using the same grapes that makes up their $35-$50 bottles, this Cabernet opens with intnese black fruit, bright cherry, & minerals. Background notes of cedar, sage and violets add to the complexity of the wine. On the palate the wine has good weight, with flavors of dark cherry, cocoa, and plums. The tannins are velverty and approachable, leading to a long elegant, fruit driven finish.

We introduced this wine couple of months ago and it has been extremely popular at the bar. You purchase the Turn Four Cabernet at the store or save by ordering in advance at our on-line wine store webwine.com and pickup your purchase at the store.

- Cardwell Hill Cellars -

Cardwell Hill is one of our favorite wineries. Located in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, the winery is owned by Dan & Nancy Chapel who are Orange County residents. The 2006 Estate Pinot Noir was awarded a score of 91 points and selected as a top 100 wine by Wine Spectator. The 2007 vintage continues the tradition and was awarded a score of 90 points and selected as a Smart Buy from the same magazine.

Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a tasting event with Dan & Nancy at our wine bar. During the tasting, they introduced their 2008 Pinot Noir Rose. This is a very elegant rose with a light fruity nose and a hint of strawberry. We think it’s a perfect wine to start off a Holiday feast.

We also feature both the Estate and Reserve Pinot Noir which are two of our favorite Pinot Noirs. And don’t forget their refreshing Pinot Gris made in the classic Oregon style.
