Favorite Wines of the Year - So Far

We are nearing the half way point of 2014.
Hard to believe.
So I thought I would wander the isles of the Balaban's wine racks, and see what my favorites have been so far this year.
All in all, it's been a great year for value wines - especially Pinot Noir from California and Oregon.
All the wines below are still available here, so, if you want to give any a try, please stop by.

Value Wines
2012 Annabella Chardonnay - $16
2012 La Scolca Gavi - $17
2011 Chapoutier Bila Haut Cotes du Rousillan (red blend) - $13

Upper Level Wines
2012 Roar Pinot Noir - $44
2007 Guigal Chateauneuf du Pape - $48
2008 Egelhoff Cabernet Sauvignon - $75

Here's to more great wines in the second half of the year.
Have a great weekend!
