Start time is 6 p.m. The tariff per taster is $35. Time is running out, so give us a call at Coaltrain (475-9700) to reserve your spots. What a great way to kick off the Christmas season.

SEGHESIO FAMILY VINEYARDS WINEMAKER DINNER

COALTRAIN’S 2009
NO HUMBUG CHRISTMAS SALE

It was kind of a freaky year in the woolly world of wine. There was an abundance of exceptional wine produced around the globe from exceptional vintages in several wine zones. 2007 produced superb wines in Germany, France’s Rhone valley and most other places within five hundred miles. Who knows, could this be one positive aspect of climate change?

Another surprising thing about wine in 2009 was that prices remained fairly stable and, in a few instances, dropped a bit due both to a substantial surplus of wine around the world and to the international recession. It is all the more remarkable for us in America that most European wines have not risen in price considering the unfavorable Dollar/Euro exchange rate.

Whatever the actual reasons for all this, it turns out to be a great time to buy wine. We were stunned by the number of well priced, tasty wines we were offered this year and just couldn’t resist putting them into Coaltrain.

All the more felicitous for our annual Christmas wine sale! As always, quality and price are our main criteria for putting wine in the store. Simply put, we don’t buy a mediocre wine just because it’s cheap and we don’t buy an expensive wine unless it is very, very good. We’ve put together a sale list of what we consider to be THE BEST WINE VALUES IN THE STORE. Please look it over. We feel pretty certain that you will be as enthused by it as we are.

America

2006 Lemelson Reserve Chardonnay, Willamette, $26.99/$19.99: A lightly oaked Chardonnay from Oregon’s booming Willamette Valley. Lime and mineral aspects could make you think you are drinking a fine white Burgundy. Although not certified, this wine is organically made.

2005 HdV Chardonnay, Los Carneros, $55.99/$49.99: Hyde de Villaine is a collaboration between Aubert de Villaine of Domaine Romanee-Conti in Burgundy and Larry Hyde, owner of the esteemed Hyde Vineyard in Carneros, As you would expect, this beautiful Chardonnay is Burgundian in style. With aromas of pear, apricot and spice, and layers of stone fruit flavors, it is simply delicious. The gentle French oak aging (45% new oak) on the lees imparts a creamy richness which balances, but does not overwhelm, the fruit and acidity. A stellar wine that will continue to drink well for 5-7 years.

2006 Gainey Chardonnay, Santa Rita Hills, $21.99/Sale $15.99: Lovely aromas of ripe pear, star fruit and toasted hazelnut. The hazelnut is echoed on the palate, accompanied by tropical fruit and an appealing creaminess. With good acidity and just over half of the juice seeing oak and malolactic fermentation, the balance is maintained beautifully on a long, luscious finish.

2007 Sawyer Cellars Estate Sauvignon Blanc, $19.99/Sale $14.99: Here the Rutherford fruit gives you the expected melon, honeysuckle and nectarine. It is fermented in French barrels where it is kept “sur lie” for 8 months. This gives the wine richness, but not heaviness. We particularly admire the clean, mineral finish. An ideal complement to most every white meat dish. Only 1,188 cases were produced.

2007 Bennett Lane, Turn 4 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa, $23.99/ Sale $19.99: The people at Bennett Lane could see that demand was falling for upper-end wines, so they put half of the juice from their ’07 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon in a “new label” for a quarter of the price. This is great wine for the money—balanced, rich, some oak, and a velvety texture. Worthy of cellar time, but drinking well now. This is how a recession should work.

2006 Berghold Merlot, Lodi, $23.99/Sale $19.99: What a knockout Merlot. It’s a Merlot with substance and breed. An undertone of earthiness melds with the dark cherry and currant fruit resulting in a very compelling wine. If you have not been enchanted by the Merlot grape, try this; it’s an absolute enchantress.

2006 Realm, The Tempest, Napa Valley, $83.99/Sale $69.99: Made by Mike Hirby, who used to pour the wine in Colorado Springs at the great Primitivo restaurant. Those were the days. Here is a delectable blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. These come together to provide blueberry and cassis sensations, along with delicious cappuccino and chocolate side notes. Very smooth, almost creamy, with well-integrated tannins. Only 213 cases of this baby were bottled. We love this wine, as does Robert Parker, who anointed it with 94 points!

2003 de Lormier Mosaic Meritage, Alexander Valley, $17.99/ Sale $14.99: A little age here with smooth blueberry and blackberry flavors. This “Meritage” blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc is drinking very nicely now…and is a big hit with our staff. Only 500 cases were made.

2006 Andrew Rich Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, $33.99/Sale $25.99: If you crave big-time Oregon Pinot but don’t want to suffer big-time losses on a bottle, this is for you. There are bright fruits, black cherry and forest floor essences. A remarkable effort on all levels.

2007 Broadside Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles, Margarita Vineyard, $21.99/Sale $19.99: Bewitching blackberry and graphite on the nose. Clear minerality on the palate. Admirable acidity. Enjoy it or over the next three or four years. These guys really seem to know what they are doing. 2006 Ghost Pines Merlot, Napa/Sonoma, $16.99/Sale $14.99: A very appealing Merlot! It has black cherry and plum flavors in a spicy, slightly earthy framework. Smooth and delicious.

2005 Chehalem Pinot Noir, Ridgecrest Vineyards, Willamette, $44.99/Sale $29.99: What a price for a wine coming into “prime time.” It offers rich Pinot flavors and elegance as well. To be more specific, there is red-black fruit, mineral-earth, light tannin and a creamy texture. Only 24 barrels were made. Snag some and enjoy it over the next year or so. 91 WS, 91 ST

2006 Seghesio Rockpile Zinfandel, $33.99/Sale $29.99: The quintessence of great Zinfandel. Bramble, spice and blackberry For Zin lovers, this is an absolute must. By the way, Rockpile is a narrow vineyard, resting some 1,200 feet over the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma. And, Pete Seghesio will be here Jan.12th to host a winemaker dinner with us at the Blue Star. See our Tasting Schedule for details.

2007 Saldo Zinfandel, California, $31.99/Sale $27.99: From Orin Swift Cellars, this wine was a big hit at the winemaker dinner we hosted with them last spring. Dave Phinney, the winemaker, who is well known for creating The Prisoner and Mercury Head Cabernet, has done an outstanding job with this Zin. Saldo means balance in Spanish and this wine, while having great depth and richness, is very well balanced. Only 280 cases were allocated to Colorado. 91 WS

2008 Folk Machine Pinot Noir, Central Coast, $21.99/Sale $18.99: Soft, fresh, yet earthy aromas. The palate has notes of chocolate, earth and macerated cherry. The high acidity makes for a pretty, long finish and a food-friendly wine. Only 900 cases produced. And, by the way, we love this wine!

2006 Stolpman Estate Syrah, Santa Ynez, $24.99/Sale $19.99: A delicious Syrah with smoke, blackberry, and a hint of that barnyard complexity on the nose. The rich and gamey, earthy fruit is balanced by notes of graphite, tobacco and bramble and is wrapped in a smooth, velvety texture with enough tannic structure to keep it interesting. 90 WA

2005 Oakville East Exposure, Napa Valley, $100.00/Sale $86.99: From a “good neighborhood” with Dalle Valle, Screaming Eagle, Rudd and Plump Jack on the mail boxes. Amazing aromas of black cherry, cassis, cedar and mocha lead into similar flavors with a touch of that neighborhood dirt. A nice vanilla oak touch closes the deal. This beautiful Cabernet is balanced, complex, with a silky elegance and soft velvet tannins. What more could you want? It’s the new kid on the block, but it, too, will become a superstar! 95 WE

FRANCE

2006 Chateau Parenchere, Bordeaux Superieur, $17.99/Sale $14.99: A screaming deal in a Bordeaux. With some earthiness in the nose and classic dark fruit flavors with just a hint of chocolate, it’s quite a treat. If you are new to Bordeaux, this might be a lovely place to begin.

2005 Chateau Loudenne, Medoc, $31.99/Sale $24.99: Classy stuff, from a chateau built in the 17th Century. The vines are planted in gravel banks that run down to the Gironde River. And, you definitely get some gravelly aspects in the wine (which is a good thing!) along with the lovely fruit, characteristic of the sublime 2005 vintage in Bordeaux.

2006 Chateau de Pez, St. Estephe, $44.99/Sale $38.99: The wines of the St. Estephe commune can be pretty rough and tumble in youth. Witness the esteemed bottlings of Chateau Montrose and Cos d’Estournel. But give them some age, and “ooh-la-la.” This, we feel, follows that pattern. It has a great nose with those classic barnyard essences (again, a good thing!) which meld well with the plum and black cherry fruit. And this is about a quarter of the price of Montrose or Cos.

2005 Wild Pig Viognier, Pays d’Oc, $17.99/$12.99: We were a bit shaken by the name (but that seems to be en vogue these days). But we were taken by the wine. It is remarkable. It gives you those white and yellow stone fruit flavors that have made Viognier such a chic varietal. And it completely sidesteps the bubblegum and viscosity issues that mark lesser Viogniers from hot climes. Light, yet bewitching. No Miss Piggy, this wild pig.

2007 Domaine Bernard de Faix Chablis $24.99/Sale $22.99: A family-run winery that has just burst upon the Colorado market. The wines have a purity that allows you taste the special soils on which the vines are planted. This is a clean machine. We also have their 1er Cru Vaillons Chablis bottling. And also a stellar Rully rouge and Rully blanc. Extremely limited on all.

2007 Andre Goichot Cotes du Rhone Villages, $14.99/Sale $12.99: And here’s the Gold Medal winner at the Orange wine exposition. You can see why. It’s a marvel of dark fruits and spices in a swank, silk suit. The epitome of value and flavor.

2007 Juliette Avril Chateauneuf-du-Pape, $39.99/Sale $33.99: A feminine style Chateauneuf from the soon-to-be-legendary 2007 vintage. It seduces you with its voluptuous fruit and substantial flavors. It’s a killer value too…most other 2007 Chateauneufs are twice the price!

top

ITALY

2008 Alpha Zeta Soave, $11.99/Sale $9.99: This is a mouthful of Soave, nothing like the Soave hordes at a similar price. The secret is that they let the Garganega grapes, of which the best Soaves are made, mature longer on the vine. This gives the fuller flavors. “Delizioso!” Great party potential.

2008 Palmadina Pinot Grigio, Friuli Isonzo $15.99/SALE $13.99: This is a true step up from the everyday Pinot Grigio. It has a beautifully expressive nose of sweet lime, stone and white peach. The rich palate has a complex flavor profile, including sweet herbs, stone fruit and a minerality that lends great depth.

2008 Azienda Agricola Tarczal Muller-Thurgau, Trentino, $14.99/Sale $12.99: As pure as a Dolomite glacial stream, whence it comes. Excellent solo drinking or with delicate river fish from high altitudes. “Zesty” is probably the word we beg for.

2007 Collegiata Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, $9.99/Sale $8.99: For the price/drinkability ratio these Montepulcianos are tough to beat. This one gives you heady cherry essences and earthiness in the nose and palate. In every way, a pleasant and interesting, yet inexpensive, wine. Wow!

2008 Palama Salice Salentino, $12.99/Sale $10.99: One of the best Salices we’ve tasted in a while. It’s suave and composed. There are some cherry-like fruits mixed with the perfect seasoning of southern Italian grittiness.

2007 Paitin Barbera d’Alba, Serra, $18.99/Sale $15.99: Lush stuff here. Rich dark fruit and everything that’s good in a Barbera. Really impressive from a teriffic Barbaresco maker.

2005 Moma Rubicone, IGT, Umberto Cesari, $18.99/ $12.99: This is an “IGT” from Emilia-Romagna. It is not a DOC wine. This is because it carries grapes that are not typical for the area, like Cabernet Sauvignon. Anyway, the wine is a velvety red that is a delight to drink. Actually, it’s hard to stop drinking it.

2005 Sasso Nero, Toscano Rosso, IGT, $16.99/Sale $10.99: Here’s one from the Tuscan village of Montalcino, the home of Brunello, the third most revered red wine zone in Italy (after Barolo and Barbaresco). In essence, this is more “Chianti-esque,” with more earth and fire than fruity Chiantis in the same price category. A superb value.

2004 Oddero Barolo, $32.99/Sale $28.99: From the already fabled 2004 Barolo vintage. It gives the dried rose and violets in the nose with black cherry and a hit of “goudron” on the tongue. The really nice thing about this baby is that you can drink it now. Most other 2004 Barolos need considerably more time and are considerably more expensive!

top

SPAIN

2007 Alta Amanzora Este, $11.99/Sale $9.99: The Spanish values just keep coming. This red blend is created by the esteemed Raphael Palacios; it has complexity and maturity…and is a killer wine for the price. An exceptional party wine! 90 WA

2007 Eternum Viti, Toro, $20.99/Sale $18.99: You might expect that anything from a wine zone with the same name as a bull (toro) is going to be forceful. This doesn’t muddle expectations. But there is also forward fruit here that makes for peaceful drinking.

top

GERMANY

2008 Hexamer Quarzit Riesling, Meddersheimer Rheingrafenberg, Nahe, $21.99/Sale $17.99: We’re crazy about the wines of the Nahe River Valley. They combine the raciness of the Mosel and the profundity of the Rhine. And so this one goes. There is some quartz, green apple and a slight whiff of sweetness.

2008 Hex vom Dasenstein Rivaner Halbtrocken, $15.99/Sale $12.99: Lordy, what a name! It is our understanding that Rivaner is a synonym for Muller Thurgau. And it tastes like it. It’s fresh with some stone fruit aspects, just about bone dry, but not quite. There is a prickle of CO² at the start that contributes to its delightful freshness.

top

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

2007 Tikal Patriota, Mendoza, Argentina, $24.99/Sale $19.99: A blend of 60% Bonarda and 40% Malbec. “Purplecolored, it offers an alluring bouquet of spice box, black cherry, and blueberry. Supple and flavorful on the palate, additional notes of raspberry and chocolate emerge, resulting in a complex, rich wine with good structure and length. It way over-delivers for its modest price.” WA 92

2006 Bilton Matt Black, Stellenbosch, South Africa, $18.99/ $15.99: This blend of Shiraz, Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot is very impressive. It has style and complexity and is not overblown in any way. Dark fruit with nuances of tobacco, earth and a little South African funk. We like it. 89 ST

2008 Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand, $15.99/Sale $13.99: Refreshing and zesty with lime, green apple and herb flavors. Great as an aperitif or with shrimp, oysters, or scallops. 90 WS

2006 Hesketh Usual Suspects Shiraz, McLaren Vale, Australia, $17.99/Sale $14.99: A voluptuous offering from the highly regarded McLaren Vale region. Cherry, vanilla and dark berry aromas, with flavors of cassis, blackberry, subtle smoke, spice and licorice. A well-made Shiraz at a great price. 90 ST

2007 Two Hands Shiraz/Grenache, Brave Faces, Barossa, Australia, $34.99/Sale $24.99: Boy, here’s a succulent Aussie red at a superb price. The combo of Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro (a.k.a. Mourvedre) gives lusty aromas and a mouthful of toasty cherry and blueberry flavors with hints of coffee. This will drink well over the next five years, if you can wait that long. WS 91 and WA 92

2005 Two Hands Max’s Garden Shiraz, Barossa, Australia, $55.99/SALE $35.99: For those of you who seek the dark and powerful, this is the wine. With deep black fruit and touches of anise and tobacco, this shiraz is firm and focused . There are hints of violet and earth as the finish sails on and on. The tannins are present, but smoothly integrated. An amazing price for this all star wine! 93 WS

2006 Whitehaven Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand, $21.99/Sale $19.99: We’ve loved the Sauvignon Blanc from this producer for years. Now we’ve discovered this pretty Pinot from the north end of New Zealand’s southern island. It’s a welter weight, not a heavy weight, with succulent cherry fruit. Most impressive.

SPARKLING

2003 Ironhorse Blanc de Blancs, Green Valley, Sonoma, $34.99/Sale $29.99: Consistently one of America’s best sparkling wines. It is composed of 100% Chardonnay grapes. Part of this is barrel fermented like the great sparkling wines of Krug in France. This gives the wine a creaminess lacking in many Blanc de Blancs. Then the wine is aged many years in the bottle with the yeast, which provides complexity and elegance. Quite an admirable work here! Many of you met the delightful Joy Sterling, whose family owns Ironhorse, when she was here for our wine festival last spring.

2003 L. Aubry Fils “Ivoire et Ebene” Brut, Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France, $63.99/$ 58.99: 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, from two parcels in Jouy, just southwest of the city of Reims. Finished in 200-liter casks and disgorged 11/08. The Aubry brothers are recoltant manipulants (Grower Producers) of the top level. They are known for a traditional style and devotion to ancient varietals. This cuvee from the hot 2003 vintage shows pretty orange and pear fruit with a long complex finish. This Champagne really displays a sense of place which is what we admire about the grower producers. 90 ST!

Rotari Arte Italiana Talento, Trento, $14.99/Sale $12.99: Boy, here’s a fetching sparkler from beneath the Dolomite Mountains of northern Italy. It has more backbone than Prosecco. The nose suggests apples like those from the Val di Non. On the palate there is depth of flavors and finesse. Impressive.

Il Follo Prosecco, $11.99/SALE $10.99: A charming Prosecco at a great price. It has appealing aromas of lemon, brioche and a hint of peach. Slightly off-dry, but with a crisp finish, this is the perfect choice for a casual brunch, a holiday toast or a party sipper.

B-Deville-Chevallier Brut, Grand Cru Champagne, $35.99/ Sale $29.99: We were perpetually amazed that you can buy a Grand Cru (the highest ranking) Champagne at such a low price. That’s why we are featuring this again this year. It’s a stylish, sensual quaff— just what Champagne should be.

Via Lattea Moscato d’Asti, $13.99/Sale $11.99: A gem of a Moscato d’Asti. Lightly bubbly, lightly sweet, but heavily delicious. We like it with desserts like fruit tarts and, of course, hazelnut cake drizzled with sabayon. The wine comes from Piemonte, near the Barbaresco and Barolo zones.

THE DIVINES FROM THE VINE

It seems that every year we finish up with some of the finest and costliest wines on Earth in our wine cabinet. This year we seem to have more than ever. We saw the world recession make more wine treasures available as buyers reduced their purchases of these treasures. So we went through our supplies and selected the best vinous booty in the store. Take a look and act fast. Quantities are limited. This is no “cash for clunkers” event.

2005 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir, Beaux Frères Vineyard, Ribbon Ridge, $72.99/Sale $67.99: Willamette nobility here. Extremely refined. It’s unfiltered, unfined and biodynamic.

2005 Monnot Puligny-Montrachet, 1er Cru, Les Folatieres, $92.99/Sale $78.99: Next door neighbor to the hallowed Le Montrachet vineyard. Astonishing purity due to judicious use of new oak.

2005 Monnot Beaune, 1er Cru, Les Toussaints, $52.99/Sale $45.99: About as fine a Burgundy as you will find from the Beaune appellation. Bold, black cherry flavors. Grand drinking now, with a stellar future.

2005 Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin, Les Evocelles, $76.99: Rubenesque Gevrey from vines planted in 1966. It’s pure satin on the tongue with red fruits and dark fruits in the mix. Only 675 cases were produced. From the sublime

2005 vintage. 2004 Sine Qua Non, Poker Face, California Syrah, $399.99/ SALE $199.99: Another highly allocated wine…one of the rare recipients of 100 Points from Robert Parker. He reviews it as “Boasting classic blackberry, crème de cassis, charcoal and subtle toasty oak notes, it possesses a fabulous texture, beautiful richness and purity, and a finish that lasts nearly a minute. Although approachable, it benefits from several hours of decanting, and should evolve for 15 or more years.” Wow!

2000 Aldo Conterno Gran Bussia Barolo, $252.99: Aldo’s special Barolo that is only made in perfect years from particular vineyards. It’s kind of in a world of its own with big, bold flavors of the Nebbiolo grape and the special vineyards in which they are grown. We believe this to be the best Barolo of the estimable 2000 vintage.

2006 Pelissero Barbaresco, Vanotu, $105.99: Here’s a Barbaresco in prime time, offering secondary and even tertiary sensations. See how these wines age. 93 WA

2005 Flor de Pingus, Ribera del Duero, $69.99: An iconic Spanish red that is all silk and style…very balanced, with sweet fruit, great intensity and a long, long finish. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate gives this wine 96 points and says “In the price/quality sweepstakes, this might be Spain’s finest wine.”

2005 Clos Erasmus, Priorat, $169.99: One of the grand Priorats of Catalunya. Excruciatingly hard to find. We have but one bottle. Wine Advocate says “opulent, harmonious, and awesome are words which really cannot do justice to this extraordinary vinous achievement,” giving it a stunning 100 points.

2006 Liger-Belair Echezeaux, Grand Cru, $280.99: A spicy blackberry liqueur nose with hints of earth leads into a concentrated palate of black cherries and “terroir.” One of the greatest Burgundies we’ve tasted in many years. Could certainly battle Aubert de Villaine’s famous Domaine de Romanee Conti Eschezeaux at a much lower price.

top

DESSERT WINES

2005 Les Pins, Monbazillac, $18.99: If you are a lover of Sauternes and Barsac, but don’t love the prices of the best stuff, get this. It has perfect sugar/acid balance, delicate fruit flavors. A marvel!

2006 Inniskillin Vidal Ice Wine, Niagara Peninsula, $52.99/ Sale $38.99: Obviously we were able to cajole our supplier into an insane deal on this great wine. It has the pinpoint sugar/acid balance that makes ice wine so admired the world around. As a special treat, you might serve it with a fruit dessert or all alone for ice wine purists.

Graham’s 20 Year Old Tawny Port, $54.99/Sale $49.99: On Christmas Eve, sitting around the tree, nothing can really beat a glass of fine port. Maybe throw a wedge of Stilton cheese and some English crackers into the mix. Grahams is one of the top Port makers. Its 20 year old Tawny gives you the wisdom of age and, still, some youthful enthusiasm.

2007 Porto Rocha Vintage Port, $65.99/Sale $56.99: From a vintage given 98 points by the Wine Spectator. Delicious now, it will reward the Port connoisseur with the self-control not to drink immediately.

2005 Chateau Laribotte, Sauternes 375ml, $17.99/Sale $13.99: Yes, a Sauternes under twenty dollars. From 40-50 year-old vines, this Semillon-based charmer has rich and spicy stone fruit aromas. The palate is light and not cloying, with a fruity earthiness and notes of honey and lemon.

2007 Vieux Telegraphe CNP Available!

This awesome Chateau Neuf was #3 in the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 with a 95 point rating. We have it now but it won’t last long!
