This week, we would like to introduce you to a few wines - highlights include an affordable (under $20) yet high-rated (WS 93/100) red wine. John tasted the Pedroncell Bench Vineyard Merlot 2009 and Pedroncelli Port 2007 and purchased all of the wholesaler's inventory at a drastically reduced price. Don't let the low price fool you - these wines are very impressive. All of the wines in this e-mail are also eligible for our 10% case discount and we encourage you to take advantage by mixing up a case or purchase the Pedroncelli in case lots before it sells out!

...And, if you're celebrating "National Cheeseburger Day" - that's today - we've included a few suggestions for gourmet cheeses from our sister store, Milk & Honey, that will both upgrade your standard burger and pair nicely with your wine...

Churchill's Estates Douro 2011 - $17.99

$16.19 with Case Discount

*Rated 93 points (Wine Spectator)*
Region/Country: Douro, Portugal
Issue: May 2014

"A meaty, rich, and brooding red, offering plenty of mocha notes to the dark plum, dried blackberry & baker's chocolate flavors. Presents hint of smoked paprika mid-palate and features a finish filled with restrained tannins. Drink now through 2020. 750 cases imported." â€“ KM

Our sister store, Milk & Honey of Tiverton, suggests pairing with a creamy, flavorful blue cheese. Consider the double-cream Saint Agur from France, which is especially delicious on a thick, juicy burger!
Pedroncelli Bench Vineyards Merlot 2009 - $9.99
$8.99 with Case Discount

Sonoma County, California

"Bench Vineyards, the name chosen for this wine, describes the natural terraces that flank the Dry Creek Valley and rise slowly into the steep hills. The sloped topography and rocky residual soils allow for unique growing conditions that bring out the best in our Merlot. Bouquet of black cherry, warm spice & rich plum. Blackberry, red currant, & tea notes highlight the flavor. The subtle toasty oak complements the rich fruitiness in the mouth. Lush and full bodied, with soft tannins and a lasting finish."

Milk & Honey recommends serving this wine with Cotswold Double-Gloucester with Onion and Chive, a firm, savory cheese, sliced thick and melted on a medium-rare burger.
Pedroncelli Dry Creek Valley Estate Four Grapes Port 2007 - $9.99
$8.99 with Case Discount

Sonoma County, California
Retails at Winery for $19

Produced from 4 Portuguese grape varietals: Tinta Madera, Tinta Cao, Souza, & Touriga Nacional … "Ripe berries, rich caramel and toffee aromas lead to a flavorful wine with warm spice, raspberry, and cream soda highlights. A very complex and rich dessert wine. Although ready to drink now, this port will benefit from aging through 2020."
Chateau Tour de Pas Saint-Georges 2009 - $21.99
$19.79 with Case Discount

*Rated 90 pts (Wine Spectator)*
Bordeaux, France

"This red delivers focused, if rather austere, flavors of tar, wet stone and currant, with firm tannins and fresh acidity. Polished and well-structured. Drink now through 2020. 4,165 cases made." â€“ JM
