Our newsletter features the brief ‘Ray’s Picks’ section pointing out wines well worth giving a try.  From time to time we will blog here on the website to further that effort in turning our wine loving friends on to labels they should investigate.  This week we offer a tip of the hat to three lovely reds, 2008 Chateau La Tour Carnet coming in around $40, 2007 Terlato Cardinal’s Peak which is closer to $50 and 2008 Rubicon (Inglenook-Francis Ford Coppola) Cask.  All three of these wines were deep red with full body and an excellent finish.  Watch for more wine picks in the coming weeks….cheers.

This week our wine educator Jessica Bell talks about the benefits of wine on tap……to learn more visit www.mywineschool.com
