The following are relatively recent arrivals arranged by category. We have over 1000 other wines that are not listed on the web site, but these are some of our recently acquired wines that are interesting, worthy, and sometimes unusual. They are listed on each page by price and under appropriate subcategories. Although I am NOT a fan of critic scores, I am including the scores from Robert Parker (RP), Wine Spectator (WS), and Stephen Tanzer (ST) if I could find them. Organic Wines Steelhead Sauvignon Blanc, Dry Creek Valley - Sonoma, 2006 ($14.99) - From Quivera Vineyard, this is a slightly lean but very appealing style of SB that avoids the grapefruit character so common today. Crisp and food-friendly. (from a biodynamically farmed vineyard) Organic Wine Works Radical Cabernet, South Africa, 2007 ($13.49) - Like the Badger Mt. Chardonnay, this is a simple but pleasing wine. It doesn't have much structure, but it works with food or for just sipping. (certified organic, sulfite-free, cork finish) Stellar Organic Shiraz, South Australia, 2007 ($12.99) - Although not a typical Aussie fruit bomb, this has plenty of flavor and some structure. It's as good as any Australian wine at this price, and it should age nicely for two years. (certified organic, fair trade, sulfite-free, screw cap) Pircas Negros Malbec, Famatina Valley-Argentina, 2008 ($12.99) - This serious red wine saw five months in French oak and has real varietal character, good structure, and solid fruit. (made with organic grapes but not certified organic, vegan, cork finish) Steelhead Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley - Sonoma, 2006 ($14.99) - Also from Quivera Vineyard, this is a refined, spicy Zin with only 13.8% alcohol. Medium weight, perfect for BBQ. (from a biodynamically farmed vineyard)
