OKTOBERFEST
But Oktoberfest in November? It’s just that we wanted to give das
boats as much of a chance as we could to get here so we had as broad a
selection of the stunning 2010’s as possible. We W want to show you these
beautiful Kabinett and Spätlese wines before the hype machine takes
over and the wines disappear (quality was high, quantity not so much).
These wines have a freshness, power, structure and transparency that
is not to be missed. Truly, an outstanding year and we’ll be trotting
out the appropriate nibble to foil these racy wines. If for some reason
enough don’t show, we’ve got plenty of 2009’s, 2008’s, etc., that we
haven’t shown. Only $23.
SATURDAY, ATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, , 2011 (M) 12:00-5:00
OVER ‘90’/UNDER $30
You pay, we pour. We put together a varied lineup of wines that
have gotten 90 points or better from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate,
Burghound, or International Wine Cellar and sell, here anyway, for
under $30. You taste though this ‘pre-approved’ lineup of goodies and
see where your tastes with the critics or, more importantly, possibly
find some new categories or individual favorites. This is the safest
form of research, all of the ‘contestants’ having received ‘90’ or better
by the critics and further filtered by us. Cost is $19.

TURKEY WINE TIME
@ UNCORKED
Everyone has some holiday traditions for Thanksgiving, friends,
family, family turkey. But what wine to serve with that holiday bird? We get
that question every year so this time around we decided to take 8-12
of our spout in uncorked dedicate them to selections for that versatile
holiday bird. Tired of serving the same old thing, want a few different
ideas? We’re going to do just that as our buyers put together some cool,
different takes on the subject of bird wine keeping in mind a couple
basic facts. Fact 1, you’ll have a wide range of palates at the table,
some not so sophisticated. Fact 2, you don’t want to break the back
because of Fact 1. Most of these will be around $1 for 1 oz. taste.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2011 (M) 4:00-6:00
HOLIDAY BEER
Each year as the holidays approach, a host of tasty seasonal brews
hits the market. We’ll take a peek at a variety of Christmas beers,
Pumpkin Ales and other Fall and Winter offerings from Belgium,
the U.S. and elsewhere. Gouden Carolus Noël, Delirium Noël, The
Bruery Autumn Maple and other perennial favorites will be in the
mix as well as a few things you might not have seen before. Come in,
drink some suds, eat some pretzels and sausage….12 bucks.

And, for for the last last half dozen dozen years, you’ve you’ve probably heard the “But
Petrus is Merlot” story a hundred times from any number of merchants

from and and the the meticulous meticulous nature nature in in which which it it is is crafted. crafted. The The same same can

CHAMPAGNE
One of the favorite events every year is Champagne. This is about real Champagne, from the Champagne
region of France where it all began. The lineup will mainly concentrate on our individual estate bottlings,
grown produced and bottled on a single property from a single village, but we’ll feather in all kinds of
things to give the show breadth and depth. If you are a true Champagne fan, this is one serious show of
bubbles, cost is $36.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2011 (M) 12:00-5:00
VIBRANT RIOJA
We always try to create something interesting for the weekend of Thanksgiving in the hopes of offering folks
who have simply had enough turkey an alternative. This year we are teaming up with the organization
Vibrant Rioja to bring that region to you. We’re going to do the complete Rioja matrix , both traditional
and modern styles, younger and older bottlings and a couple of rarities. Considering our own passion for
the subject, you can bet we will have a wide array of things on the table. You want names? We’ll have
the power lineup the top names Cune (C.V.N.E), Muga, La Rioja Alta, Lopez de Heredia, Lealtanza, and
Baron de Ley to name of few. We’ll also do some tapas and try to bring as much of that Riojano feeling
to event as we can. Cost is $18, the experience muy bueno.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2011 (M) 4:00-6:00
FEATURES PRESENTATION
We do it every month except, usually, in December. We decide to try something different this time around
because a diverse lineup of value wines comes in handy throughout the year, particularly during the holidays,
plus we are preparing for a fewer obligations this time around if there’s no NBA season. Come taste the
“Liquid Newsletter”, have some cheese and maybe discover some new wines. All for only $10.
SATURDAY, DAY, DECEMBER 3, 2011 (M) 1:00-5:00
TOUR de FRANCE (WEYGANDT-METZLER IMPORTS)
This Tour de France doesn’t necessarily involve bikes, though of course how you get here is your own
business. It’s more about an importer we have been working with for a long time and whose has put
together a really good group of estates, many of which are among the top of their particular appellations.
What names? Not ones you’re likely to find in your local grocery store. But if you are a wine fan, names
like Abuisieres, Mann, Charvin, Alary, Vissoux and St. Damien are ones you should know, or get to know.
The Weygandt book does encompass a few things outside the borders of France, but the French portfolio
is really the strength here. Cost is $15.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2011 (M) 4:00-6:00
BROADBENT & ROTHSCHILD ( (LAFITE) LAFITE)
No this isn’t another new lawyer show on TNT or USA. It’s much cooler than that. We’ve lined up a
couple of very hip import houses whose wares span a wide range of genres and styles. First we have
Broadbent Imports, run by Bartholomew, son of Michael Broadbent, one of the world’s foremost wine
personalities. Rebecca Mahmoud from Broadbent will guide you through a fascinating array of bottlings
that span the globe, with a particular focus on Ports and Madeiras. Also on hand will be a selection of the
wines of Eric de Rothschild, who owns among others a little property called Lafite Rothschild. We won’t
be touching on any of those Bordeaux (have you seen what Lafite costs these days?), but we will have a
sampler of his other properties from France, Argentina and Chile. This is a deal at $15.
SATURDAY, DAY, DECEMBER 10, 2011 (M) 1:00-5:00
THE KERMIT SHOW (KERMIT LYNCH IMPORTS)
This has turned into a yearly show because the book is so braod and varied and we usually carry enough
different wines to fill out two or three tastings. On hand to guide you through Kermit world will be
Kate McWilliamson from this esteemed import house. What will we pour? Well, they have Bordeaux,
Burgundy, Rhone, Sud, Loire, and Champagne, plus a few well chosen Italians. Like we said, it won’t be
too tough to come up with a lineup of intriguing wines. Note we are starting an hour later than normal
Saturday time, cost is $15.

Chateauneuf du Pape or maybe Marcel Diess
in Alsace, really seems to be taking hold as a

dramatically improved, and we’re sure that
having French billionaire Francois Pinault

the meticulous Frederic Engerer as director,
and the famed Latour terroir doesn’t hurt.
In fact, with the vines getting older, superb

The Sauternes (& Barsac) Shopper
35
CLIMENS BARSAC 2007 WA 99+ WS 93
From The Wine Advocate: Tasted twice at UGC tastings, it was actually under blind
conditions that the Climens 2007 re-confirmed its status as the best Sauternes of the
vintage. It retains an ethereal bouquet of honey, white peach, apricot and orange-blossom
with ethereal purity and joie de vivre. The palate is medium-bodied with exquisite
balance and essence of mineralite. It balances on tiptoe with perfect acidity that effortlessly
counterpoises those layers of rich honeyed fruit; the finish taut, vibrant and with
a sense of place. This is outstanding in every way. Perfect? I would not bet against it
deserving that loaded adjective one day in the future. Drink 2015-2050.
CLIMENS BARSAC 2005 WA 97 WS 95
From Wine Spectator: Toffee, dried lemon rind and tropical fruit on the nose. Full-bodied
and very sweet, with a dense palate of candied fruit and a long, sweet finish. Very
concentrated. The botrytis spice creeps up on the finish.
RIEUSSEC SAUTERNES 2005 WS 96 WA 96
Shows enticing aromas of toffee, cream, dried apricot and caramel. Full-bodied, very
sweet and thick, with honey and caramel flavors. Long and rich, oozing with sweet,
ripe fruit, this is like liquid candy. Best after 2016.
DE FARGUES SAUTERNES 2005 WS 95-100 WA 93-95
Wine Spectator: This is very concentrated with dried pineapple, honey and caramel.
Full-bodied and superdense. Like honey. Massive. From the former head and part
owner of Yquem
GUIRAUD SAUTERNES 2005 WS 97 # 4 IWC 92
From Wine Spectator: Delivers lots of botrytis spice, with lemon tart and cooked
apple. Full-bodied, with loads of cream and vanilla and an intense tropical fruit and
honey aftertaste. Long and viscous, with a layered and beautiful spicy finish. Hard not
to drink it now. Best after 2014
SUDUIRAUT SAUTERNES 2005 WA 96 WA 93
Wine Spectator: Shows dried pineapple, honey, pear, caramel and piecrust aromas.
Full-bodied and very sweet, with spice, coconut, tropical fruit and apple tart flavors.
Long and dense, yet lively.
SUDUIRAUT SAUTERNES 2001 WA 98 WA 98
From Wine Advocate: A prodigious effort, possibly the finest Suduiraut since 1959,
the medium gold-colored 2001 offers notes of creme brulee, caramelized citrus, Grand
Marnier, honeysuckle, and other exotic fruits as well as a pleasant touch of oak. With
terrific acidity, a voluptuous/unctuous palate, and sweet, powerful flavors buttressed
by crisp acidity, it is a phenomenal Sauternes. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040.
LA TOUR BLANCHE SAUTERNES 2005 WS 92 WA 93
From Wine Spectator: Subtle aromas of honey, lemon peel, cream, vanilla and apple
pie follow through to a thick palate, with lots of sweetness. There’s also loads of clove
and other spices. Not as exciting as from barrel, but still outstanding. Best after 2011
LAFAURIE PEYRAGUEY SAUTERNES 2005 WS 92 WA 92
Wine Spectator: There’s beautiful ripe fruit in this, with pineapple, mango and papaya
and hints of vanilla and honey. Full-bodied and medium sweet. Rich and round, with
loads of cooked apple, citrus peel and spices. Long and flavorful. Dense and rich
DOISY VEDRINES SAUTERNES 2005 WS 93
From Wine Spectator: Intense aromas of honey, dried pineapple and botrytis spice.
Full-bodied, very sweet and very powerful, with loads of dried fruit and sweetness on
the finish. Lots of clove and orange peel. Same quality as the 2001. Best after 2013.
RAYNE VIGNEAU SAUTERNES 2005 WS 92
From Wine Spectator: Bright aromas of lemon, spice and honey follow through to a
full body, with loads of dried apricot, honey and nutmeg. Very sweet and very lively.
An intense wine. The best from this estate in a long time. Best after 2012.
*Editor’s * note: Even though the Wine Advocate’s Robert Parker gave very enthusiastic
scores to the 2005 Sauternes, he provided no tasting notes in any of the final publications
nor on the website erobertparker.com. For that reason, none appear herein...

(formerly Steve & Kyle’s
Excellent Adventure)
We don’t know what your thoughts may be on the
subject but we are definitely in the camp of those
who think that orange is a horrible color for red wine
marketing. It’s also a horrible color for the box. I
mean, seriously, how the heck does the color orange
connote any ‘red wine’ feelings whatsoever? But
you’d be shocked at just how many orange packaging
schemes we’re seeing from Tuscany nowadays.
The official color of the Etruscans? Syracuse or
Tennessee fans? We’re still trying to figure it out.
Anyway, we’re just kidding around (maybe) when it comes to the whole orange thing
because, in typical Winex fashion, to us it’s about what’s inside the bottle, not what’s
on the label. And what’s inside these bottles is mighty fine indeed, three tiers of soulful
yet modern takes on Brunello di Montalcino from one of the real up and comers of the
zone. Pinino’s 2004’s were easily their finest efforts yet (take a look at the reviews)
and we found the wines to be stylish, very drinkable and, especially in the case of their
Riserva, capable of enjoying some serious time in the cellar. Crafted by renowned
enologist Paolo Vaggagini, all the wines are brilliant.
The deal. Take a look at the original retail prices on these bad boys. We are shaving
over half off those original retails and let me tell you, these are wines that were worth
those full retail prices, the proof is in the words of the pundits...and our palates. Three
levels to choose from, all with their own unique spin, all working at a level of quality
that is easily twice what you are going to pay. It’s good times for Brunello fans...dare
we say this is even a step up on our past Vitanza deals?
PININO CUPIO BRUNELLO 2004 ORIGINAL RETAIL $42! $21.99
Half price! Where are you going to find $22 Brunello nowadays? Only at Winex.
This is Pinino’s entry-level Brunello but it shames many flagship wines from top
estates. The purpose here is to use less tannic fruit to create a more open-knit, forward
example of the genre to be enjoyed while you are waiting for your ‘big dogs’ from
Pinino to come around. Brunello di Montalcino flavor and complexity at Rosso di
Montalcino prices...nice!
PININO BRUNELLO 2004 ORIGINAL RETAIL $55! score: WS 92 $25.99
From Wine Spectator: Has rose, blackberry and sandalwood aromas. Full-bodied, with
velvety tannins and ripe fruit. Long finish. Best after 2011. 2,580 cases made
PININO BRUNELLO Riserva Pinone 2004 RETAIL $83! score: WS 93 $44.99
From Wine Spectator: Aromas of crushed blackberry and mulberry lead to a full body,
with soft, silky tannins and a fruity, spicy finish. Balanced and focused. A tiny producer
to watch in the future. Best after 2012. 335 cases made
Sometimes the press makes our job easy...
From Wine Spectator - What a decadent and
wild wine. I love the nose of crushed berries,
grilled meat and spices. Full-bodied, with
velvety tannins and a long, caressing after-
taste. Intense and exotic. 35 percent Cabernet
Sauvignon, 35 percent Merlot and 30 percent
Syrah. From the owners of Petra. Best after
2012...92 points

Wine EXchange
---Terms & Conditions (small print)
All prices are net, subject to stock, on 750 bottles unless otherwise indicated, and
good through 11/30/11, or until subordinated by a subsequent issue. Although this
rarely happens we have to say that prices are subject to change without notice.
This
list cancels all previous lists but is viewed by us as a demonstration list only only. We
may refuse to accept any order for any reason at our sole discretion. We reserve
the right to correct pricing errors and limit quantities both online and in store.
Sometimes vintages change without warning. This publication is copyrighted by Wine
Exchange (c). All rights reserved. This publication may not be copied in whole or
in part without the written consent of Wine Exchange. Copyright infringement is a
criminal offense and all infringers will be prosecuted both civilly and criminally to
the fullest extent of the law. All stated arrival dates are best estimates. Wines may
be sold and delivered only to persons at least twenty-one (21) years of age. By
placing an order, you represent yourself to be at least 21 years old, and that the
person receiving the delivered wine will also be at least 21 years old, and that you
have read, understand, and accept all of the disclaimers herein herein. When your wine
is delivered, the person accepting will be required to show identification proving
said individual is of legal age (21). Should failure to show ID cause merchandise
to be returned, all return shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. All
wines are sold in California. Title passes to the buyer in California. We make no
representation as to the rights of anyone to import wines to any state outside of
California. The buyer is solely responsible for the shipment of wines. By placing
an order, you authorize Wine Exchange to act on your behalf to engage a common
carrier to deliver your wine to you. It takes 5-10 working days for wine to move
across country by ground shipment from the time of pickup. If you wish anything
other than standard ground transport, you must specify at time of order. We
reserve the right to determine the propriety of shipping instructions and may refuse to
transport product if we deem it unsafe or inappropriate. On older vintages, we make
every effort to secure wines in top condition. We do not accept questionable goods.
On wines 5 years old or more, it is the industry standard that such wines are purchased
caveat emptor, or at buyer's own risk in case of a problem. We assume no liability for
weather damage. We make every effort to insure the best conditions for shipping wine,
but cannot insure against changes in weather. Unless SPECIFICALLY DECLINED,
all orders will have insurance charges added. The charge is $.50 per $100 and
covers breakage or loss. WEATHER DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THIS
INSURANCE! Wine Exchange will cover the insurance for the first $42 of bottle
price. All “hold” orders will be charged a fee to help defray additional storage and
handling costs. In the case where wines are short, lost, or broken, we are responsible
for only the sale price of the bottle. We will only ‘hold’ orders due to extreme weather
conditions only; we are unable to accept ‘hold’ orders for convenience’s sake alone.
Any ‘hold’ orders held longer than six months are subject to additional fees or
sale at our discretion, and our maximum liability on the bottle price in all cases is
limited to no more than the original transaction price in cash or credit. ‘Pickup’
orders must be picked up within six weeks if the date of the order. We may assess
storage fees in any amount for ‘pickup’ orders not picked up by that deadline, or
we may cancel the order entirely at our sole discretion; restocking fees will apply.
Changes or cancellations of ‘hold’, ‘pre-arrival’ and pickup orders are subject
to a minimum restocking/cancellation fee of $25, or 25% of the order, at our
discretion. All orders are subject to our acceptance, and acceptance of an order is
in no way a guarantee that a particular product is available. We have minimums
on ‘pre-arrivals’, ‘hold’, and ‘pickup’ orders of 6 bottles or $200 as a rule, and in some
cases more. ALL ORDERS PICKED UP AT OUR LOCATION ARE SUBJECT
TO SALES TAX-NO EXCEPTIONS! If Winex failed to add sales taxes when the
order was placed, Winex reserves the right to correct and collect any sales taxes due.
This publication is distributed as a sales catalogue for the enjoyment of our ‘patrons’,
that term being clearly defined as people who buy stuff from us. Returned letters are not
forwarded. We are happy to send issues to potential clients, and appreciate referrals.
However, as we do not accept any advertising and derive no income whatsoever from
the distribution of this publication (such as it is), the Stock Report is mailed at our sole
discretion. It can be downloaded on line as well at www.winex.com (save a tree).

For us, food is a passion just like wine
i s. It isn’t something something we we have have to to do,
do,
it is something we want to do. We
have singled out individual artisan
coffee roasters, chocolate makers, olive
oils, etc., that we feel add to the food
experience. Some of them like Latini
Pasta, Illy and Lavazza coffees, Giachi
Olive Oils, Fior di Rizo, Sharffenberger
Chocolate, etc. we have been selling
for over a decade. Others are new to
us, and we are constantly considering
new items. But we only add s something mething
to this limited list when we are excited
about it. We hope you enjoy them as
much as we enjoy bringing them to you.

Der Bucket
ist sehr gut!
Harvested in an excellent vintage from
50-year-old ungrafted vines in one of
Germany’s greatest vineyards, this is
a classic spätlese with lime and peach
fruit laced with slate and supported by
bright acidity. We only bottle our own
when we deem it worthy of the ‘Bucket
moniker. It has to be delicious wine,
have great typicité and be a great
value. This is such a wine...$14.99
