FINALLY! If you are a fan of Orin Swift's
THE PRISONER, the 2006 vintage has just been paroled and will be
available to taste this Saturday at the tasting bar. BTW - The 2005
vintage was ranked number #17 in the Wine Spectator's 2007 Top 100 Wines of
the Year. I sample a bottle of the 2006 last week, so trust me when I
say, it will have the very same appeal as any of the previous vintages.
Still $31.95 a bottle, but if you order through this Saturday, the bottle price
will be $29.95. www.thewineconsultant.com/wine/1246
OH, the 750 ml. bottles of the 2003 Fonbadet sold out
instantly, but a limited amount of half bottles (375 ml) of the
2003 Fonbadet are available at $14.50.
This is the perfect size for smuggling into a movie, or stowing in your parka
for a swig on the ski lift, or just plain and simple moderation.....unless you
need to open a second or a third. If you missed "Great Bordeaux for a
Pittance" go to www.thewineconsultant.com/newsletter/335
