Emergency Wine Alert - Pinot Noir!
March 22, 2007

Rather drink Pinot Noir? I highlighted the Amisfield Pinot Noir from the Central Otago (southern most growing region in the world) after our visit to the winery when we toured New Zealand in January of 2006. Now the 2005 has been released.....same value price as the 04 and same high quality level. Ten cases arrive tomorrow! Should be $35 a bottle. First come, first serve! ORDER NOW ONLY $32.95! Wine Spectator just rated it 93 points in the April 30th issue!!

"Suave and ripe, with plush depth to Asian spice, roasted duck, wild berry and black cherry flavors. Crushed stone nuances, judicious oak and sinuous tannins streamline the tylish finish. Drink now through 2011..."

- 93 points, Wine Spectator

Emergency Wine Alert! and Quickie Buy! are alive and flashing at the webstore!

Your response to the Luddite Zin has put a huge dent in the 70 cases production......still time to get on board as about 20 cases remain. See e-mail below on this forward - "micro zin". Don't miss out....REAL zin with a soul still exists!! - $23.50 a bottle. Order by just replying to this e-mail! Don't forget the Cassone Malbec presale!

Watch for Saturday's tasting bar roster - posted every Friday afternoon at the "Virtual Tasting Bar" page at the webstore > http://www.thewineconsultant.com/tastingbar

Time to switch it up a little. "Finally!"....I can hear so many of you sighing!!

How 'bout a little North American.....as in GREAT Russian River Valley - Sonoma ZINFANDEL.....

probably didn't think I could even type it did you?

ATTENTION! This wine is scarce.....hard to find! You bet.....only 70 cases were produced!!

Love the name Luddite......techno protester! Yes, this wine made itself.....Mother Nature, the non-interventionist!

The terroir driven fruit speaks of Zinfandel made yesteryear.....before the glop, high alcohol, sugar and

modern chem laboratory took over things!

HONESTLY - Want what ZIN really smells and tastes like?.....billowy & gargling black raspberry fruit with some structure and balance!

I did not think they made this stuff anymore!!

ORDER IMMEDIATELY!!

2005 LUDDITE VINEYARDS - ZINFANDEL from Well's Vineyard, Russian River Valley - $24.95 a bottle.

TODAY/TOMORROW ONLY.....or until the maker doth protest! - $23.50 NET. - PLEASE REPLY DIRECTLY TO THIS E-MAIL TO ORDER.

BTW - the brick and mortar store will be closed tomorrow afternoon so we may attend the annual Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchiere tasting in San Francisco. We will be back to reopen at 11 am Thursday morning. 2003 Familia Cassone Malbec Reserva Obra Prima reorders still be taken at $17.95 a bottle.....hopefully, will arrive in early April by new burro team!!! Price to be $22 a bottle if we have any extras.
