Yalumba “Y Series” Viognier 2006 (South Australia, Australia)
Winemaker Louisa Rose creates this wine that is pale gold in colour with green hues. The aroma is intense white flowers - particularly honeysuckle - and hints of apricot nectar. The palate is rich and long, with citrus and tropical fruit flavours. This wine exhibits the typical Viognier texture - silky, rich and luscious with a lovely fresh finish.

Pikes The Red Mullet 2005 (Clare Valley, South Australia)
This wine has a deep red/purple colour. Attractive aromas of super - ripe dark berry fruit with a hint of chocolate and a swirl of mint coming in behind. The palate is soft, rich and slurpable with tannins and acid married nicely with the ripe dark berry fruit flavours.

Ringbolt Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 (Margaret River, Australia)
ring.bolt Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 is full colour, deep red. Bouquet: The nose is typical of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety from a cool region. Layers of intensely flavoured ripe forest berries infused by dark chocolate with a suggestion of humus or earthiness. Palate: Loads of flavour with lots of dark fruits up-front melding with well seasoned oak on the mid-palate and finishing with velvety tannins and lingering berry nuances. Ringbolt is made for immediate drinking though it will continue to gain complexity with cellaring for up to five years. The wine would be well paired with flame grilled meats or Mediterranean cuisine.
91 Points Nick Stock & Tyson Stelzer
[Member: $15.29 / Retail: $16.99]

Jim Barry The Lodge Hill Shiraz 2005 (Clare Valley, South Australia)
This wine is inky, deep red in colour, with aromas of black cherry, dark plums, vanilla and dark chocolate. The palate shows medium to full bodied ripe black cherry and plum fruit, subtle integrated vanillin oak with mocha richness. The fine grained talc-like soft tannins support a lingering finish. Can be enjoyed now or will improve with careful cellaring over the next 5-7 years. Suited to robust red dishes such as kangaroo, beef or lamb.

Long Shadows Vintners Tasting Event

Long Shadows Vintners Tasting Event Saturday, June 14th Beginning at 6 p.m. Taste Great wine Only $35 per person

It’s about time for the 2nd Annual Enoteca Long Shadows Vintners tasting event! This is the one tasting event of the year that you don’t want to miss! To taste all of these wines by buying the bottles, it would cost you $375 plus tax. This is an incredible opportunity to taste them all for only $35.

Washington State has a secret weapon in the wine making world. Allen Shoup. Allen is the visionary behind the Long Shadows project, which brings in the best wine makers in the world to make great Washignton State wines. We love these wines so much we want to share them with as many people as possible. Saturday June 14th, at 6:00 p.m., at Enoteca in Post Falls, we will be sharing all seven Long Shadows Vintners wines. Here is the list: Poet’s Leap Riesling, Chester-Kidder, Pirouette, Sequel Syrah, Saggi, Pedestal Merlot, and of course the Feather Cabernet Sauvignon. 2 oz. of each wine will be poured. This is a unique opportunity as these wines are extremely limited in nature and this is the only time of year we can get them all together in one place. As with all of our tasting events, the ticket price is simply to cover the cost of pouring the wine. The tasting starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 14th. Tickets to attend are $35 per seat, paid in advance. Only 20 seats are available to this event. For complete details regarding the Long Shadows Vintners tasting event, click here. Club members can have tickets simply added to their Bin, and anyone can order tickets by coming into Enoteca in Post Falls, calling us at 208-457-9885 or sending us email at service@corkjoy.com .

Cougar Crest Winery Special Tasting Event

Cougar Crest Winery Tasting Event Thursday, July 17th Beginning at 7 p.m. Taste Great wine Only $10 per person Cougar Crest Winery was established at the Walla Walla Airport in 2001 by Deborah and David Hansen. Owners of 50 acres of vineyard, all in the Walla Walla Appellation, they have sold wine grapes to other wineries for years. The move into making wine has been a natural progression for two people with strong backgrounds in science and a love of fine wine. Natives of the Northwest, Deborah from Spokane and David from Bremerton, they met in Pullman. Allen Boone will be here from the winery to share these great wines! Special Price: Tasting this lineup of high end wine is a special treat at any price, but we’re making this extra special by offering this lineup for only $10 per seat, which is about 1/2 of what it should cost. We want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to taste this great wine.

The tasting starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 17th. Tickets to attend are $10 per seat, paid in advance. Only 24 seats are available to this event. Club members can have tickets simply added to their Bin, and anyone can order tickets by coming into Enoteca in Post Falls, calling us at 208-457-9885 or sending us email at service@corkjoy.com .
