Each month, we taste, evaluate and sift through dozens of choices to bring you the best buys of the season, both for immediate celebrations and for long-term cellaring. Each bottle gains our personal seal of approval ... from a team that really knows their wine!

| July 2009 Wine Club Selections |
All American Wines
The month of July is obviously a very patriotic time for Americans. Many of us take the opportunity both before and after the Fourth to raise flags in our yards, and to pay homage to the forefathers who risked life and limb to bring our country to the independent state we now enjoy. It's an appropriate month in which to reflect on how far we've come in a short amount of time as a young whippersnapper of a nation, a month to throw around phrases like, "American as baseball and apple pie."
Or how about "American as Napa Cab Franc?" Our winemaking forefathers blazed quite a trail for us as well. As we sit on our back porches sipping a Sonoma Pinot Noir or a New York Riesling in 2009, we often forget that only three decades ago, American wine was widely considered as inferior to the more well-established wines of the Old World.
The now famous Paris tasting of 1976 shocked the wine-drinking world when Cabernet and Chardonnay from California, for the very first time, trumped those from France in a blind tasting and proved that American wines could indeed hold their own against the best of the best. And this after only a couple tumultuous centuries of winemaking in our new homeland! It's a feat to be admired, and indeed toasted. This month, we raise our glass to the All-American wines of all appellations. Enjoy!
