2008 Coopers Creek Sauvignon Blanc

The Marlborough region of New Zealand is known for their Sauvignon Blanc. They are crisp, juicy, mouthwatering and very popular among the consumers. Coopers Creek has done a fabulous job with their Sauvignon Blanc. It is bursting with aromas and flavors of passion fruit, nectarine and gooseberry and a lengthy finish. Enjoy with seafood, chicken, salads and creamy cheeses like goat cheese. Rated 91 Points by Wine Spectator Magazine. Buy this one by the case. $9.99 per bottle.

2007 “Bench Blend” Chardonnay
Sourced from a small vineyard in Carneros, this truly spectacular Chardonnay has been hand-made from the vineyard to the winery. New and one-year old French oak barrels were used to age this wine and to contribute a silky mouthfeel and add complexity to the abundant flavors of white peach, vanilla and coconut. Bright, mouthwatering acidity carries the flavors on an unbelievably long finish. This is a special Chardonnay meant to be served with great food and special people. Great with Poultry, Fish and Shellfish.

2006 “Bench Blend” Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from William Hill’s finest vineyard blocks in the Napa Valley were hand-harvested and aged in French oak barrels for two years. The resultant wine showcases why Napa Valley continues to produce some of the world’s greatest wines. This wine displays opulent red and black fruit aromas and flavors with notes of ripe cherry, spice and sweet vanilla. The plush mouthfeel and silky tannins evolve into a long, impressive, fruit focused finished. Simply put, one taste will tell you that you have something special. You’ll not find Cab with this pedigree from Napa at this price anywhere else. Great with Beef, Cheese and Pork.

BEER

Dogfish Head Midas Touch
This recipe is the actual oldest-known fermented beverage in the world! It is an ancient Turkish recipe using the original ingredients from the 2700 year-old drinking vessels discovered in the tomb of King Midas. Somewhere between wine & mead, this smooth yet sweet dry ale will please the Chardonnay and beer drinker alike. Excellent with the creamy richness of triple cream brie.

Bin 75 - The Best 75 Wines under $10

At Heinen’s we believe that great wines don’t have to be expensive. That’s why we created our Bin 75 section in our wine departments. Right there, you’ll find the best 75 wines under $10.

How do we pick them? Our wine consultants blind taste dozens of wines to decide which belong in our Bin 75 program. We’re choosy in the process—there’s plenty in this price range that don’t make the cut. Our goal is to make sure you get great taste at a modest price.

We also color code our Bin 75 choices into 6 easy categories: Full Bodied Red, Light Red, Full Bodied White, Fruity White and Crisp White. Selecting a Heinen’s Bin 75 wine is almost as much fun as drinking it!

Tasted Best

Tasted Best is our wine department’s signature program designed to answer the frequently-asked customer question, “Which of these wines is best?”

Each month, our extensively trained wine specialists blind taste to find the best wine in a given category. For example, we’ll blind taste Chardonnays priced below $15.00. Each consultant will assign points for their 1st, 2nd and 3rd favorite. The wine earning the most points is featured as the “Tasted Best” of the month for that varietal or category.

Heinen's Wine Consultants will suggest the best wines for your menus and we'll also special order your requests.

Don't forget our 10% case discount: mix or match any 12 wines and get 10% off.

Cheers!
