Some very good values abound, making this a great time to begin stocking up for the on-rushing holiday season. Thanksgiving is but a month away, so each week until then we will be pouring compatible wines for that occasion to allow you various possibilities for your dinner selection. The Beaujolais Nouveaux will arrive approximately a week before the holiday. Another interesting concept advanced by Bon Appetit Magazine is serving Zinfandel with your turkey dinner. Accordingly, we will have a Zin tasting to explore that possibility. From today’s selection, the first three wines are sure-fire winners to accompany a rich turkey dinner. The possibilities, actually, are endless.

Chateau Souverain Cabernet Sauvignon,
List price: $ 19.95; OUR PRICE $14.95
This wine offers classic Cabernet aromatics of black cherry, plum and currant as well as the opulent structure for which Souverain is known.

This balanced wine is well-structured with fine-grained tannins that lead to a long, powerful finish
Taz Syrah, Goat Rock,
List price: $27.50; OUR PRICE $19.95
A deliciously ripe wine, featuring black pepper and tobacco leaf notes which serve to moderate the juicy blackberry fruit. The wine was aged for 14 months in 100% French oak, in a combination of new, one year and two year old barrels. The result is a wine with lovely texture and softness
Chaucers Olallieberry Wine
List price: $12.00; OUR PRICE $9.99
This elegant dessert-style wine is produced from 100% pure fruit without the addition of artificial flavorings. Although the wine exhibits richness similar to a fine liqueur, it contains only 10% alcohol. Chaucers’ fruit wines can be enjoyed chilled, as an accompaniment to fine desserts, mixed with sparkling wine or served with your favorite dried fruit, nuts and cheeses.
Hi Costa – Thanks for the info and I like the price reductions. Do you have Robleta wines? They make a great Savignon Blanc.
Remember to keep a great Sauvignon Blanc for Dono
Hope to see you before Christmas
Well said. I would be happy to read anything else you might contribute on this subject.
