Great values from Robert Parker



Here are some great quotes from Robert Parker of The Wine Advocate on some fantastic values


Marietta Lot 50.....$12.99
"Marietta Old Vine red, lot 50-delicious under $15 robust wine from old vines-lots of flavor and value,the perfect pizza and burger wine....Marietta Old Vine RED-KITCHEN SINK BLEND,GUTSY AND BOLD-under $15, perfect pizza wine ..." -Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate




2008 Kendall Jackson Chardonnay Vintners Reserve....$10.99

"Obama drinks it, I recommend it...so please try the Kendall-Jackson 2008 Vintners Reserve chardonnay-under $15" -- Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate



2008 Grayson Cabernet Sauvignon....$8.99

"...another budget super star for cabernet lovers-Grayson 2008 California cabernet-a whopping $10-hard to believe how good it is for the price" -- Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate


"Grayson Cellars specializes in sourcing declassified lots of wine from highly respected wineries, putting together attractive blends, and selling them for a song." -- Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate


Grayson buys fruit from "big name" wineries, but they have to sign a contract with the winery not to disclose the name of the source of the grapes. In tough wine times like now, many wineries have extra wine and Grayson's quality goes off the chart. Many of these wines they buy from sell for $50+.




2008 Grayson Chardonnay....$8.99
"There are 15,000 cases of the 2008 Chardonnay, which is completely fermented and aged in stainless steel. Elegant honeysuckle, orange blossom, and tropical fruit aromas are followed by a nicely-textured, medium-bodied Chardonnay displaying outstanding purity, freshness, and overall equilibrium. Enjoy it over the next year.

Grayson Cellars specializes in sourcing declassified lots of wine from highly respected wineries, putting together attractive blends, and selling them for a song."

Rated 88/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
