2006 Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux Nuits-St-George 1er "Champs Perdrix"  $40 (was $60)
When I was a kid I owned a wrist-rocket. The snap on that thing was incredible - always ready to release with a huge 'snap' and therefore perfectly accurate. The only thing more accurate and fast is Dave's eye when it comes to spotting a great Burgundy deal. And by deal, we never mean anything close to substandard wine; we mean, "excuse me, that vintage and producer is how much?" Before we describe the wine, let's be clear - you folks in the club got all that is left of this. (You can give us smooches later.) Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux is one of the best known producers of Burgundy, but only to insiders - that's because usually only about 50 cases or less of each of the Chevillon-Chezeaux designated vineyard bottles are imported to the U.S. each year. Chevillon-Chezeaux, a combination of the two owner-winemaker's names, Michel Chevillon and Philippe Chezeaux, has been making classic Premier Cru Burgundy for four generations, and their style has remained consistent - even in "lesser vintages," their results are excellent. The wines tends to be bigger and bolder in style, with full flavors up front, a great deal of complexity and a long finish. Sound great? It is. Again, we were so pleased so come across this find!

2007 Alto Adige Terlano Classico  $17
We were also really happy to come across this expressive Terlano from the Alto Adige. If you do not know the region, it is located in the far Northeast corner of Italy which is known to produce some the best white wines in the world - though Alto Adige might not seem like it's making typical Italian white wine. This, in part, is due to location, and the blending of cultures - the vineyards of Alto Adige climb steeply up very sharp V-shaped valleys, eventually cresting in the Italian Alps, bordering Austria. And Austrians make great white wines! So the melding of knowledge has consistently created a unique style for the region, and always a very high class set of wines. In the same way the landscape is deeply marked and grooved by glacial and snowpack runoff, the wine follows suit with a incredibly pure, vibrant mineral character and taste. The trademark citrus and fresh apple flavors fill the glass in this Terlano Classico. A blend of Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc, it brings hints of anise and a light tartness on the finish.

Suggested Food Pairings: Goes well with dishes that utilize aioli-style sauces; try a shrimp or scallop sauté with a spicier edge, such as a light lime-chili sauce or ginger glaze.
