Holiday Wine Gifts - IV

It's late, it's late, I'm late for a very important date. This year investment bankers come last, but even if your not an investment banker you should seriously consider these wines, if not as Christmas gifts, then as a treat for yourself. These wines may seem pricey, but they are spectacular and mindblowing. Warning: You may never be able to go back to two buck chuck after one of these beauties. Where to find them? Wineries such as Cadence, O-S, Fall Line, and Note Bene in downtown Seattle. In Arizona go to Callaghan. Too late to get to a winery? Try QFC, Larry's, or Metropolitan Market in Seattle or AJs or Total Market in Tucson. In Seattle wine shops such as La Cantina, McCarthy & Schiering should have what your looking for. Or try Pete's. I'll let you in on a little secret - Magee's on Magee Road and Oracle may still have some 2006 Saviah Une Vallee and 2006 Cadence Ciel du Cheval. These wines are listed in no particular order. Wanderlust wines are marked with an asterisk. Happy Holidays!
