A mix of new vintages and two wines that are not completely dry, make this a tasting not to miss. All four of these wines are very affordable, but most of all they are very engaging and easy to drink and enjoy. No wine snobbery here, just honest wines that anyone can enjoy and understand. Join Robert Braswell at the tasting bar this Saturday for a lively and fun tasting.

2008 Los Vascos Sauvignon Blanc; Valle Central, Chile  Managed by the Domaines Barons de Rothschild, Los Vascos is one of Chile's oldest wine estates. This 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is light straw-colored with an expressive nose of fresh herbs and citrus. Ripe, balanced, and made in a round, pleasing style, this tasty Sauvignon should be enjoyed over the next 12-18 months. These vines are ungrafted and from pre-phylloxera Bordeaux rootstock, which many feel gives Chile's wines a certain edge over the competition. Try it yourself and see. Great with spicy dishes, shellfish, salads and seafood.

2007 J.M. Monmousseau Vouvray; Loire Valley, France  2007 was one of the most outstanding vintages in the Loire Valley in quite some time. This wine is glorious with its wonderful melange of crisp, delineated fruit aromas and flavors. Ripe, but so wonderfully balanced by the band of ripe acidity, this glides down the palate so easily. Just off-dry, this is great on its own and very versatile with food, especially spicy foods, curries, and any creamy or saffron based sauces.

2007 Château de La Chaize Brouilly; Burgundy, France  Dark cherry red in color this Cru Beaujolais wine shows nice depth and richness. With plenty of red cherry and blackcurrant fruit evident in the attractive floral, berry scented nose, there is lots to like. This rounded, easy to drink wine features good acidity, medium-bodied fruit and moderate length. Drink over the next 1-2 years! This is a perfect Beaujolais for quaffing any time; also great with pork or beef dishes, and even grilled salmon or fowl.

2008 Valckenberg Dornfelder; Rheinhessen, Germany  Vin Rouge, Rotwein, Redwine! Dornfelder is a medium-bodied, fruity red with velvety smooth tannins. This wine is filled with red fruit aromas and lightly sweet flavors of blackberry, cassis and vanilla, all in a gentle easy to drink format. This medium-bodied, silky smooth wine excels with things like meatloaf, pot roast, beef stew, sausage dishes, lentil soup, BBQ ... get the picture? A very delicious red that goes with any occasion.
