Green’s Cash Price: $9.99
(Bottle Cash Price With 10% Case Discount: $8.99 + tax)
“Plunk down the extra coin for the JC Reserve Riesling. The aromas are exactly what you’d expect in a Riesling—floral, citrusy and minerally all at once—while the flavors of green apple and lime are stony without being hard. A lean, surprisingly elegant wine that delicately fades on the finish.”

Gournier Viognier 2007-French

(Bottle Cash Price With 10% Case Discount: $8.99 + tax)
There is no better buy on the market for Viognier! Apricot aroma, this delightful dry white wine has almost tropical fruit flavors on the palate. These ripe fruit flavors are uncomplicated by oak aging. This wine would make a great aperitif, as well as a match for picnic fare and light foods.

Lalande Sauvignon Blanc Cote de Gascogne 2006-French
Green’s Cash Price: $10.99
(Bottle Cash Price With 10% Case Discount: $9.89 + tax)
This wine in another vintage has been called “the poor person’s Sancerre” by Robert Parker. Why? There are many similarities except one, it is half the price of a good Sancerre. White fruit aroma and herbs on the bouquet and flavor, this fresh tasting medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc saw no oak aging. Just clean pure Sauvignon fruit with enough acidity for balance.

Remarkably soft and ready-to-drink now, this is a superb alternative to the more pricey and long-lived Grand Crus of the more prestigious districts.

Chateau Pierredon Bordeaux Superieur 2005
Green’s Cash Price: $10.99
(Bottle Cash Price With 10% Case Discount: $8.99 + tax)
Handcrafted chateau-bottled Bordeaux at $10.99, this is an unbelievable value. The Chateau’s wine is sourced from a modest sized family-owned 50 acre property consisting of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 40% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc.
Hints of chocolate and black fruit in the bouquet, this wine has good fruit concentration on the palate giving it an unctuous mouth feel. Delicious now, it will easily age for 2-3 more years. Green’s Wine Buyer

Chateau D’ Argadens Bordeaux Superieur 2005
Green’s Cash Price: $13.99

This “right bank” chateau-bottled 2005 Bordeaux is a steal. Made from predominately Merlot, with lesser portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, it is sourced from a property located in the Entre-Deux-Mers district.
Delicious for current drinking, it possesses a chocolatey aroma, no doubt created by the Merlot, while the flavor is soft, forward with fruit, and lacking any astringency in the finish. Just yummy for drinking right now! Green’s Wine Buyer

Chateau Perron Lalande de Pomerol “La Fleur” 2005
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $32.99
(Bottle Cash Price With 10% Case Discount: $29.69 + tax)
This is the “pick of the litter” from Chateau Perron. Only the finest grapes from the vineyards are used in this wine. It is also given more new oak aging. The result is an explosive black cherry and berry aroma combined with a hint of new oak, the flavor oozes with black fruit. Denser and more concentrated than the regular cuvee, it displays a finish of extraordinary length. “La Fleur” will age longer but there is so much thick fruit in the mouth it is darn good drinking right now.

Chateau Fongiras Medoc 2005
Green’s Cash Price: $12.95
(Bottle Cash Price With 15% Case Discount: $11.01 + tax)
Chat. Fongiras is from the Medoc, a region that contains most of the great properties of Bordeaux, and is made from 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. The Merlot content is slightly high for this area and may explain why this young Bordeaux is so tasty at this young age. Merlot provides a suppler, rounder fruit quality than Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine has an expressive bouquet of currants and blackberries with a hint of chocolate. The flavor is round and fleshy displaying black fruits. The finish is silky and expresses good length that is refreshed with a touch of acidity, a characteristic that sets 2005 apart from most other great years. This delicious “petit chateau” expresses the personality of the vintage perfectly and at an unbelievably low price.

Chateau Grand-Duroc-Milon Pauillac 2005
Green’s Cash Price: $24.99
(Bottle Cash Price With 10% Case Discount: $22.49 + tax)
This tiny property (12.5 acres in size producing only 4000 cases a year) is located on the plateau of Pauillac near the famous First Growth properties of Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Lafite Rothschild. It is made from a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Franc, but is surprisingly ready to drink despite its youthfulness and majority Cabernet Sauvignon heritage.
Possessing an impressive deep color, there is cassis and smoke in the bouquet and is very Pauillac-like in style. Supple fruit in the flavor’s entry, there are hints of vanilla to complement its ripeness. There are some mild tannins present but at this stage they are overwhelmed by the wine’s delicious up front fruit. The wine will age for 5-8 years at a minimum but who cares, it’s so yummy now! - Green’s Wine Buyer

Chateau Perron Lalande de Pomerol 2005
Green’s Cash Sale price: $24.99
(Bottle Cash Price With 10% Case Discount: $22.49 + tax)
Few districts in Bordeaux have developed the reputation for high quality (and unfortunately high price!) as Pomerol. Nestled right next door is Lalande de Pomerol, not as well known as its illustrious neighbor, but an up and coming district whose wines offer a lighter more accessible style, as well as a more affordable price.
Chat. Perron 2005 gives you a lot of personality and charm for a Bordeaux priced well under $25. This small 38 acre vineyard, planted in 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, is given the meticulous care one would expect of a backyard garden by the Massonie family who have owned this property for three generations.
Possessing a deep color, it has a black fruit aroma as well as rich black fruit on the palate. Not very astringent in the finish, this fleshy creamy textured wine is delicious for drinking today. - Green’s Wine Buyer

“By all accounts, American wine drinkers have fallen in love with rosé”
-The Wine Spectator
“…dry rosés have exploded onto the market and are everywhere in stores, restaurants and bars.” -The San Francisco Chronicle
“…the wine drinking proletariat eventually caught on to dry pink wines…Today, dare I say, they are en vogue.”
-Gil Kulers of-The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For years, almost alone in South Carolina, Green’s has beaten the drum for dry Rosé. It is the perfect summertime wine. Cool and refreshing and usually moderately priced, Rosé is meant to be consumed without pretense. It is “just” a fun wine that will match well with almost any food.
We are the only retailer in these parts with long experience in selecting these wines. The Green’s cardinal rule on Rosé is to drink only the most recent vintage available. That means 2007. Any vintage preceding this would likely be too old. If a wine shop tries to pawn off one of those elderly years on you, they are trying to get rid of old inventory.
At Green’s we sell our Rosé one way-fresh.
Our selections are all from France; that’s because we believe the French have the most experience in making Rosé. |

“Fritz has a good track record with Dry Creek Valley Zin, one of the variety’s best natural homes in California. This is their most expensive bottling in years, and it’s quite good. Rich and savory, with fine, ripe tannins, it shows flavors of raspberries, cherries, cassis, licorice and Asian spices, with a meaty, leathery edge.”

Fritz Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 Dry Creek Valley
Green’s Cash Price: $29.99
(Bottle Cash Price With 10% Case Discount: $26.99 + tax)
“Ripe, with tons of juicy cherry, blackberry, mocha and woody spice flavors, but fully dry. There are good acids and tannins, so it’s all balanced and harmonious. It’s not for ageing, but is lovely and fairly complex.”

Fritz Pinot Noir 2006
Russian River Valley
Green’s Cash Price: $ 24.99
(Bottle Cash Price With 10% Case Discount: $22.49 + tax)
Nice bouquet over a medium body with flavors of raspberry and strawberry with a hint of spice. Smooth and mouth-filling…Mild acidity means one can start drinking this very satisfying wine as an aperitif and continue with it through dinner.

“This light yellow wine opens with a very enjoyable apple, honeydew melon, and oak influenced bouquet. On the palate, the wine is relatively smooth, but yet shows some acidity. It has pear and vanilla oak influenced flavors...”

“Sprightly and delicious, with grapefruit, fig, meyer lemon and apricot flavors made even brighter by vibrant acidity. This elegant SB will be delicious with a salad of bitter greens, figs, chèvre and grilled shrimp.”
