2006 Meyer-Fonne Pinot Blanc $17.99
This was a FIXTURE on the Just Trust Me rack for most of 2003 and 2004 but then the winery lost their US importation representative in early 2005 and then “THE THING” hit NOLA so we were a little too busy to bird dog it to see where it landed. Well, a few months back one of our importers showed up at our door with the wine, we looked at the bottle and, quite frankly, got a little weepy eyed. This is a bone dry Alsatian white wine and if you’re a wine geek we’ll say that it tastes like a baby Zind (winemaker used to work at Zind). If you’re not a wine geek we’ll tell you that the wine transcends its peer group with this amazing density and viscosity and is no doubt one of the most fragrant Alsatian wines for the price and though it is bone dry it LOVES a good spicy seafood dish.

2006 Gramiere Cotes du Rhone, $21.99
The fact that this wine is named after me should bear no significance other than the fact that the background story is very cool and the wine is just spot on. Made by a woman who used to work in Kermit Lynch's wine shop, she fell in love with Rhone wine and her and her husband moved to the Rhone valley to make wine. This is her second vintage and this brilliantly fruited Cotes du Rhone is a really nice style of Rhone wine.

2006 Henri Perrusset Macon-Villages, $19.99
The Macon wine you've been waiting for is this gorgeous, lush, balanced Macon that shows more like a wine from the Cote de Beaune, rather than a simple Macon wine. If you are flat out exhausted over over-oaked, dull lifeless Chardonnays then grab a bottle of this deeply flavored Chardonnay from a top notch producer in the Macconais

2006 Karl Steininger Gruner Veltliner
We love Gruner Veltliner because it’s so incredibly light yet interesting, but not as much as we love Austrians trying to be lighthearted. The wine is named after the architect who built the Loisium (kind of an Austrian wine discovery museum). This is a single vineyard Gruner that is just textbook - complex and balanced – and the winery’s website says it has “a long beautiful echo” whatever that means. All we know is that it is a must try Gruner.
