2007 CHATEAU ROQUEFORT CORAIL ROSE $19.99 VINTAGES Exclusive
Just arrived! The long-awaited rosé is finally here–and exclusive to VINTAGES! This beautiful, pristine rosé with racy, mouth-watering acidity is legendary — known to cause cravings on hot summer days. Celine Hymoff, former Asst. Wine Director, wants to know if anyone is driving to Cleveland, OH and can bring her a case!

DOMAINE JACQUES PUFFENEY, Arbois Rouge Poulsard 2005, $30 (Jura) The epitome of an ethereal summer red — beautiful aromas, light to medium body red from the little-known Poulsard grape. Jacques Puffeney’s prowess in the vineyard and the cheese cave has earned him the nickname “the Pope of Arbois.” From his 7.5 hectares of vineyards in Arbois, Puffeney makes traditional Vin Jaune, whites from Savagnin grape, and this beautiful, elegant red from Poulsard. A worthy and delicious wine adventure!

2004 MANDINO CANE Dolceacqua “Vigneto Arcagna” $26 (Liguria)
Another gem in the category of outstanding summer red. In a small hillside vineyard above Italy’s Ligurian coast, Mandino Cane grows the Rossesse grape and creates a beautiful Burgundian-style red with plum fruit, dusty tannins, and a smooth, satisfying yet refreshing quality that hits the spot on a summer evening. Only a tiny amount is made; enjoy this secret red of summer.
