Dear Rene, If you drink Aussie Shiraz, there is a new "must try" winery, R Wines. And the "must buy" wine from R Wines is the "Strong Arms" Shiraz. To try it at this price, though, you'll have to act fast. This special price is only good on the shipment we receive tomorrow, 112 cases. More will be coming in a few weeks, but we've already been told by our supplier that the price will be higher. We got all we could at this lower price, but it won't be enough. Don't wait, call now. Limit: 3 cases per customer. Jim Cutts
2006 R Wines "Strong Arms" Shiraz Reg. $10.99 Case Special: $8.99 per bottle "91 points--...remarkable class for its giveaway price." Wine Advocate Here is the review, and a little information about the winery, from Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate (reviewer Dr. Jay Miller): "The 2006 Shiraz is composed of 46% McLaren Vale, 44% Riverland, and 10% Barossa Valley fruit. It was aged in seasoned French and American oak for 12 months. Opaque purple-colored, it has a nose of cedar, spice box, and blueberry. Fruit-driven, supple-textured, rich, and easygoing, the wine has remarkable class for its giveaway price. It actually has 2- 3 years of aging potential but no one that I know is going to defer their gratification. Strong Arms has been bottled with 6 different but similarly themed labels. Collect them all and Dan Philips will send you a free Bacon of the Month Club catalog. There are 12,000 cases of this remarkable value. 91 points. R Wines is a new company founded by importer and marketing genius, Dan Philips, along with co-owner, renowned winemaker, Chris Ringland. Winemakers for R Wines are Chris Ringland, Lisa Wetherell, Andrew Hercock, and John Hughes. It encompasses four familiar labels, Marquis Philips, 3 Rings, Roogle, and B*tch, along with 13 others created especially for R Wines. Needless to say, the packaging of these wines is amazingly creative but, more importantly, what is in the bottle consistently over-delivers from low-end to high-end." To order please call us at 703.525.0990. We will need your Visa or MasterCard information including expiration date. Wine arrives tomorrow, Wednesday, April 23rd. As always, we thank you for your business and your support of Arrowine and the work we do. Jim Cutts |
These are copies of emails I received from Arrowine, containing descriptions of wines I ended up buying. I take no responsibility for the statements in the emails but I do know that I liked most of the wines and they are very affordable. Note that these wines generally sell out very quickly, so chances are they are no longer available by the time you read this. The emails nevertheless contain interesting information.
