ripe with inexpensive delights
Valley Views Chardonnay is harder to find below the 10 mark, but two of
its older reds, 2001 Merlot (8.39) and 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (6.99),
are still out there.Similar prices are usually the case at stores like
Food 4 Less and Winco. When last checked, several older Ashland
Vineyards wines were on the shelves at Shop N Kart in Ashland:
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Shakespeares Love white blend, Merlot and
Cabernet Sauvignon priced from 6.25 to 9.98.

At the other end of the price and flavour spectrum, the structured,
more traditional 2002 Santa Rita Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon (19.99,
Berkmann Wine Cellars, 020 7609 4711; everywine.co.uk) was my favourite
Bordeaux-style red.

Lastly, I attended a vertical tasting with 23 Wynns Coonawarra Cabernet
Sauvignon from 1954 to 2002. The tasting was amazing and to my
surprise, I did not expect a $20 Australian Cabernet Sauvignon to keep
its freshness for such a long time.

Wine: Bargains from the South of France
The Spanish grapes, Grenache (Garnacha), Mourvedre and Carignan
(Cariñena) along with Syrah are the most prevalent, yet there
are a host of other grapes grown, including Cabernet Sauvignon and
Merlot. Made from a blend of 50 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 50
percent Merlot, this little Vin de Pays has plenty of fruit and spice
with a taste of chocolate and moderate tannins.

Laurel Lakes Vineyards New Releases
The Laurel Lake Vineyards 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($23)
represents the lighter, more refined style of Cabernet. 2001 was a
tremendous growing year on Long Island, but Cabernet Sauvignon is hard
to grow and make well here in most cases due to the long hang time the
grapes need on the vine.

All of the wines were sculpted from the major grapes that go into

turned out, that wine, Newton Forrest 2002 Cornerstone Cabernet
Sauvignon/Merlot/Malbec ($42.75) from New Zealand won the day once the
