> Thomas Barton Reserve Saint Emilion 2010

Celebrate worldwide Irish Connections this St. Patrick's Day with Thomas Barton!

Thomas Barton Réserve Saint-Emilion has a lovely bouquet dominated by black cherry. It starts out full on the palate, going on to reveal good balance with opulent tannin and a long finish. It is the perfect accompaniment to poultry such as duck and a white fish like monkfish, so make sure to treat yourself to a tasty meal to accompany this fabulously rich wine.

> B&G Passeport Graves Blanc 2011

Wine Enthusiast - USA - Buying Guide rating: 87
"This fine, oily-textured wine strikes a good balance between an herbaceous character and a firm, mineral texture. A touch of spice adds further interest on the finish."

> B&G Passeport Saint-Emilion 2010

Wine Enthusiast - USA - Buying Guide rating: 87
"This tough, tannic wine is all structure and wood flavor, which results in a firm, solid feel, with a black-currant-driven fruit character. The toast adds a burnt edge."

> B&G Passeport Margaux 2010

Wine Enthusiast - USA - Buying Guide rating: 87
"This Margaux is full of firm tannins that parallel the fragrant blackberry and black plum touches. It has a dense structure, very much in line with the year, while the finish is juicy and fruity"

> B&G Passeport Sauternes 2010

Wine Enthusiast - USA - Buying Guide rating: 87
"Yellow fruit and honey aromas give this wine a fine, perfumed start. The palate is sweet, with an edge of boytrytis. Fragrant honey and peach flavors come with a line of acidity."

> B&G Passeport Bordeaux Rouge 2010

Wine Enthusiast - USA - Buying Guide rating: BEST BUY
"This wood-laden wine has a black currant note and a fragrant, spice-driven character. These elements accompany fine structure and intense acidity. Drink this fruity wine now, or age it for one year."
