We sent you an email with the name of the wine spelled incorrectly. With a red face, a chagrined expression and a sincere apology to the winemaker, we resend the offering to you with the spelling corrected. Special note to those who tried to look up the quote and couldn't find it. Now you know why! Those of you who keep track of the Duke's comings and goings will remember that he made a tasting trip to Spain earlier this year. He was really impressed with the high quality of the wines in general and of the excellence of Spanish winemaking. Many of the wines he tasted are now making their appearance in the New World. One of the wines that impressed the Duke is 2000 San Vicente, a marvelous effort from Rioja. Our friend Robert Parker was also impressed and had these nice things to say: "One of the sexiest, Pomerol-like efforts I taste each year from Spain, the 2000 is no exception. It is fashioned from 100% Tempranillo, spends 20 months in new American and French wood, and is bottled unfiltered. The deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by aromas of spice box, ripe black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with hints of espresso and white chocolate. Plump and seductive on the palate, with no hard edges, it tastes like a Pomerol on steroids. Drink it over the next 5-7 years." After what seemed to be an interminable wait, we finally have been able to acquire a pretty good amount of this gem for you. Ordinarily priced at $40.00 per bottle, the Duke has worked some magic and can offer this b eautifully packaged, top-notch wine at just $29.99 per bottle. Buy a 6-pack and we can make the price just $156.00 ($26.00 each). Here is a chance to have a beautiful Rioja at a very reasonable price. Don't delay - Call or email today! This one is sure to go quickly (once we get the spelling correct). Think of fine wine! Think of the Duke!
