(Not the best I tasted- those would mostly be older, hard-to-find wines. Rather, these are the most exciting, widely available, and in most cases good values)
(1) Perrin & Fils Gigondas La Gille 2005 ($26) powerful, well made, will age gracefully
(2) Truchard Carneros Roussanne 2005 ($20) the most interesting white wine I tasted all year
(3) Barone Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico 2003 ($22) Tuscany in a bottle, bought a case at a special price
(4) Seghesio Sonoma County Zinfandel 2005 ($20) big, yet still balanced, widely available
(5) Nicolis Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2003 ($46) hard to describe the mystery of Amarone
(6) Concha Y Toro Marques Casa Concha Merlot 2005 ($15) dense and flavorful, rediscover Merlot
(7) Daniel Baurraud Pouilly-Fuisse Les Crays 2003 ($40) a good white Burgundy like this is worth seeking out
(8) J.L. Chave Selection Mon Coeur Cotes-du-Rhone 2006 ($17) could be mistaken for a good Chateauneuf
(9) Chateau Pesquie Terrassas 2007 ($12) versatile wine and a great value
(10) Dry Creek Vineyards Fume Blanc 2007 ($12) beautiful wine and a great value
