four for dad...

based on the most current data... the Indiana University's Kelley School of Business has offered some interesting father's day statistics:

* There are an estimated 67.8 million fathers across the nation


* Throughout the states, individuals will spend an average of $94.32 on father's day gifts


Just in time for Father's Day this Sunday, we've put together four spectacular, way above average wines that are priced well below the national average of $94.32

don melchor 2006...
95 points RP wine advocate / jay miller


don melchor is the flagship red of Concha y Toro, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that is an Icon of Chile's wine industry. This is a wine that will, without any doubt, age so very, very well. With an alluring bouquet of toast, cedar, mocha and black currant this voluptuous wine is so incredibly well balanced that it will provide hours of pure pleasure now, and improve over the next fifteen years.

paul hobbs napa cabernet 2007...
93 points RP wine advocate / robert parker

you can feel the rock & roll of this delicious Napa red. Its melodic-like notes of charcoal, black currant and berries will keep you humming to the lyrics of earth, cassis and smoke. A deep, opulent full bodied Cabernet possessing overt correct purity and length. It will drink well now and hold for 15 or more years.

flora springs trilogy 2006...
90 points RP wine advocate / robert parker


this napa red blend of Cabernet, Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot is all about delicious notes of cedar, black currant and sweet dark cherry. This is a ready drink with elegant texture, great purity and length and all with stunning balance. It will certainly drink well over the next 7-10 years.

heidsieck & company monopole champagne...
91 points wine spectator & 77 of ws top 100


the aromatic zest and pear profile of this broadly satisfying sparkler is reminiscent of a cult 'grower' champagne. the notes of toasted brioche and apples are classic. with its long, silky finish this is as elegant a champagne as you can find at any price.
regularly 39.99 / specially priced 29.99
