DOMAINE DES GRAVES D'ARDONNEAU
I am always happy to get wines this good back in stock. Looking for "2005 Bordeaux"? We've got a "sleeper of the vintage" right here, ridiculously priced in your favor. You need "name" Châteaux to beat this, of course you will pay double or more for those.2006 PREMIERES COTES DE BLAYE BLANC "PRESTIGE"

DOMAINE MATIGNON
Fans of this Domaine will be happy to get their mitts on these wines - those out of the loop will find themselves easily convinced. In addition to an award-winning Anjou rouge and possibly the best Coteaux du Layon for the money, we are pleased to introduce Matignon's superb Saumur Brut for those of you interested in a superb, esoteric sparkler of Chenin and Chardonnay.2006 ANJOU ROUGE

NV SAUMUR BRUT
DOMAINE LA ROULETIERE
Superb and complex example of dry Vouvray at a laughable price.2005 VOUVRAY SEC
DOMAINE DES FORGES
More excellent Anjou Blanc, and a couple of firsts - An award-winning Anjou Rouge and a SUBLIME Coteaux du Layon Saint-Aubin SGN, that is CRAZY good. Don't waste it on dessert - drink it all by itself.2006 ANJOU BLANC
2007 ANJOU ROUGE
2001 COTEAUX DU LAYON SAINT-AUBIN "SGN" 500ML
CHRISTOPHE COURTINAT
I was not indifferent to the sample of white from Mr. Courtinat; in fact the bottle practically drank itself. An intriguing blend of chardonnay and the obscure, local varietal tressallier which gives extra minerality and zip. All wine, no wood.2006 SAINT-POURCAIN BLANC
DOMAINE POUPAT
Coteaux du Giennois is an obscure AOC in the 'deep south' of the centre Loire region. An intriguing blend of 3/4 gamay and 1/4 pinot noir with major minerality and serious geek factor. I live to import wines like this - some of you will like it - a lot.2006 COTEAUX DU GIENNOIS ROUGE "LE TROCADERO"
DOMAINE LAPANDERY
A wonderful assortment of wines young and old from Francisque Lapandéry. The antitdote to the syrupy overblown creature wines of today. 12% alcohol, exquisite balance. See our earlier post for more ample information.2005 COTE ROANNAISE "LA ROUSELLIERE"

DOMAINE VIRELY-ROUGEOT
The last of the 2005s from this superb domaine. Prices are up a touch from the previous absurd levels, but still represent Excellent value.2005 BOURGOGNE ROUGE

DOMAINE ERELL NINOT
Erell Ninot is one of the many 20-something French winemakers who are blowing minds worldwide. A name to watch until the prices catch up.2005 MERCUREY ROUGE "VV"

OTTO GOERGEN
Here is something new for Millesime - German wine. I was real hesitant about doing anything with German wine, but Weingut Görgen was too good to pass up. Again here is a case of a 20-something winemaker, Matthias Görgen who thanks to global warming has been making superb wines in the heretofore unsung Mittelmosel. The prices are ridiculous on this group of Rieslings - enjoy!2007 BEILSTEINER SCHLOSSBERG RIESLING HOCHGEWAECHS QUALITAETSWEIN TROCKEN
