2003 Les Fiefs de la Vieille Julienne VIN DE PAYS DE LA PRINCIPAUTƒ D'ORANGE, FRANCE 3.95 15.25
Vieille Julienne are one of the new superstars of the Ch‰teauneuf-du-Pape region. This ripe, meaty wine is
made from grapes just outside the area, but it tastes like a junoir version of its big brother. A bargain.

Fabulous! One of the best South American reds we have tasted for a long time.
Bonarda is grape of Italian origin that has sweet cherry fruit with good balancing structure.
2004 Heartland Stickleback Red BEN GLAETZER, SOUTH AUSTRALIA 4.40 16.50
Ben Glaetzer is currently South Australia's hottest wine maker, producing some of the region's
benchmark wines. As a result, where most Aussie reds at this price point are uninteresting,
this is a well-balanced, succulent mouthful.

Yes, this wine is made by the same family that constructed the famous car!

2004 Vi–a Leyda Las Brisas Pinot Noir LEYDA, CHILE 5.60 22.50
Pinot Noir is a difficult grape to grow and make wine from cheaply. This is grown in the cool of
the Leyda Valley close to Santiago. The wine, with its black fruits and fine acidity, is one of the
best value we have come across.

comes from a once in a lifetime vintage.

purple wine full of rich fruits. Drink it with all types of red meat.
2003 Akarua Gullies Pinot Noir OTAGO, NEW ZEALAND 26.50
Otago in the South Island is undergoing a frenzy of Pinot planting.
It is easy to see why as this serious complex wine reminds us of a red Burgundy from a lofty,

1999 Rockford Moppa Springs BAROSSA VALLEY, AUSTRALIA 27.00
Barossa is famous for its full-throttle Shiraz. There are also some very old patches of Grenache vines
