Exciting Malbec Exclusive
NEW Argentine Malbec – JUST $10 a Bottle A richly fruited arrival that’s bound to become a favorite Argentine Malbec has quickly become one of America’s favorite reds. But at the $10 mark, it can be hard to find one that really shines. Lucky for you, we’ve knocked on cellar doors across Mendoza, and finally found this estate. “An incredible discovery for me.” – Robert Parker on Bodega Chakana
And, as you can see, we’re not the only ones. When Parker tasted their $25 estate red, he said: “If this were a Napa Valley or Bordeaux red, it would undoubtedly be priced between $150-$200.” Today, you can enjoy a NEW Malbec that they painstakingly crafted just for you. Full of deep, black-fruit flavors, with wonderful concentration, smooth tannins and a long, fresh finish – it’s more than deserving of a place in your cellar … and at your first cookout of the season. Chakana’s Malbecs are “fabulous bargains” (Parker). Hurry for this exclusive.

Steakhouse Reds
Rich Steakhouse Reds Perfect for prime cuts and served today with a juicy $69 savings
What Makes a Great Steak Red? Look for the same qualities you’d get in a melt-in-yourmouth piece of beef: heft, depth of flavor and luscious texture. Firm tannins and full body (that can both stand up to the weight of the meat) are also important.

Just-Landed Spring Rosé Freshly bottled rosé is a real rite of spring – and always sells quickly. Order now.
Welcome the season in style for only $11.67 a bottle When you see rosé, you know warmer weather’s on its way – and these are the chic pinks to sip this spring. Start in France, where Ludovic Roussillon makes our best-selling red Bordeaux – and his first-ever rosé won gold at the region’s top show. Don Cristobal’s single-vineyard Malbec is another big favorite – and the pink version offers the same lush berry fruit, with a super-fresh edge. Chilean star and IWSC 2012 ‘Producer of the Year’ Luis Felipe Edwards sends his ripe, round, BBQ-ready Cab-Shiraz; Pamela Geddes’ uplifting Rioja Rosado is just the wine for a sunny afternoon on the patio.
