CLUB WRITEUPS

December 2006 Specialty Club

2002 the Standish Barossa Valley Shiraz
Here´s one of those wines you joined this club to get: a rich, ripe, juicy shiraz that´s all but unobtainable and very highly rated.   It´s a powerhouse, from a huge vintage.  I wouldn´t wait too long before enjoying this one; it´s about as evolved as it will get.  Have it with something that will stand up to its intense fruit.  There´s no more to be had; it was $86.00.

2001 Jokoby-Marthy Riesling Auslese Goldcap One-Star
But wait, there´s more to the title!  It comes from the Kinheimer Rosenberg Vineyard, from an incredible vintage, and is a reserve wine.   Put this away for up to twenty years.  Properly cellared, it will keep evolving in the bottle for the entire time.  Or have it now as a dessert.  It´s absolutely gorgeous!  It was $22.00, and there´s a bit left that we can order.  Since this club (again) ran over the $90 limit, we ran it at $90 flat to make it work for you!  Enjoy!
