Freemark Abbey Bosche 2000 is one of the current Chairman’s Selections at the Pennsylvania Wine and Spirits Shops. It’s a great bargain with a retail value listed at $68.00 and being sold for $19.99. This is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of black cherry, spice and cedar. The flavor is that of black cherry with hints of coffee and chocolate.

Pio Cesare Moscato D’Asti

While at the state Wine and Spirits shop the other day, I picked up a bottle of Pio Cesare Moscato D’Asti 2004. This is a sparkling wine from the Piedmont region of Italy. With an alcohol content of 5%, I anticipated a light, sweet, sparking wine and it certainly is that. It has very fine bubbles and is not overly effervescent. My fiance, who as a rule does not care for sparkling wine, even liked it.
The aroma is that of delicate pears and pineapple. On the palate, I distinctly tasted pears and it has a mid-palate flowery quality. This Moscato D’Asti would make a great wine to celebrate almost any occasion.
Sena 2000

While at a premium Pennsylvania Wine And Spirits store the other day, I spotted a bottle of Sena 2000 and was intrigued. This 375 ml bottle of wine had a retail value of $40.00 but as a Chairman’s Selection, was on sale for $15.00. Since this was the first time I had noticed a premium, dry red wine in this size bottle (most other wines packaged in a 375 ml bottle are usually ice wines or dessert wines), I couldn’t pass this one up. I’m very glad I didn’t!
Sena 2000 is my idea of a near-perfect dry, red wine. Fruity, and luscious with soft, supple, tannins and a long, pleasant finish. To read the full review go to Wine-Reviews.
It’s interesting to note that Sena is a collaborative effort between Errazuriz, of Chile and Robert Mondovi, of California. It is considered a world-class wine; produced in small quantities and distributed to select wine distributers. I’m so glad I was able to get my hands on a bottle and will try to acquire a few more. They will make great gifts for very special people, that is, if I can bear to part with any.
