the body tag --> <p>It was over 25 years ago and I was eagerly preparing for my first semester of college. I attended orientation, met some new friends, and signed up for my first college classes-the usual core classes. I managed to get great grades in high school and was in the honor program, student council, etc. etc. This college thing will be somewhat easy, I thought. That was, of course, until my first freshman English 101 paper was handed back to me with a big, fat  F across the top of the page and my professor stood over me uttering these words,  I m not a miracle worker. I m an English professor. WHAT? I thought! That is so mean----you can t say that to a student or at least not to a freshman! Why not wait until the students are seniors and about to enter the real world where harsh realities are a dime a dozen? We freshman are still wet behind the scholastic ears and we need support and guidance. Aren t professors supposed to give hope to students?</p> <p>I don t remember having a lot of hope when it came to writing from that point on. Those words stuck with me anytime I had to write something for any of my other college courses, as well. In fact, those words are still in my head today, but with this being Acme s, roughly, 159th newsletter offering since we opened the doors 6 ½ years ago, I am thankful that the job was designated to me. It gave me the nerve to overcome a great fear; and wine, my passion, was that interesting topic about which I could write from the heart.<br> <br> The best I can do today is thank that nasty professor for waking up on the wrong side of the bed EVERY DAY for he helped me to strive to be better at something that I apparently was ghastly at that semester in 1983. And, the real satisfaction comes from hearing some of you say that you actually enjoy reading these. I appreciate it more than you know.<br> <br> Signed, Karen Williams.<br> &nbsp;</p> <p><br> --------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Sometimes, purely by luck or proximity in the Valley, we end up with wines before other people. In this case, we have found a new wine that is sure to sky-rocket to unobtainable status as soon as the critics get their lips wrapped around a taste-full. We know that our clients look to us to find the best of the unknowns so we have to be on our toes at all times. Hefty pressure, but we are ALWAYS up for the challenge!<br> <br> <strong>mica, cabernet sauvignon, napa valley 2006 $60</strong><br> Buccella is Latin for  mouthful . Likewise, mica (pronounced: mee-kuh) is Latin for  morsel . And, JACKPOT is Acme s term for what we consider ourselves having found after tasting this brand new 617 case production made by the most talented Buccella winemaking team!! This blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cab Franc and 1% Malbec made believers out of us last week. Evidently, the righteous fruit that goes into Buccella wines is heavily scrutinized before it leaves the sorting table. That s quality check #2 since the fruit is obviously rated darn high before it is even cut from the vine. Once the wine is put into barrels, inevitably there are some stand-outs as is the case with all wineries. Those particular barrels go into one blend and the rest is sold off in bulk or destined for another label at the winery if too good to bid farewell. Thankfully, and we use that word very passionately, owners Bill and Alicia Deem KEPT THE JUICE and created a second wine. Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! Aged 22 months in 100% new French oak, the wine s silky tannin structure and absolutely gorgeous aromas of dense, black fruits live in perfect harmony with the rich texture and luxurious mouth-feel. We re in love.</p> <p><strong>C BECK, PETITE SIRAH, NAPA VALLEY 2006 $38</strong><br> When Corey and Claudia Beck first brought the debut vintage of their delectable Petite Sirah to ACME Fine Wines, we knew right away it belonged in our <a href="http://acmefinewines.cmail4.com/t/y/l/kiujth/dyqhtlrl/j"><b>Big Kahuna wine club </b></a>that month. How does that club work? We send the best 3 bottles of wine we taste that month to our club members as our Kahuna promise. You may have had the wine in a past vintage or you may never have heard of it, but we ll guarantee all 3 bottles passed with flying colors when presented to our tasting panel. Some important C Beck details: Corey helps to craft the wines at Rubicon Estate, Claudia s family has owned Auberge du Soleil in Rutherford for over 25 years, and since the 2004 vintage they have been making tiny lots of delicious Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Now, in the 2006, their Petite Sirah is as good as ever. They made a mere 265 cases, from one sole acre of 27 year-old, head-trained Petite Sirah vines in Northern Calistoga. The wine is dark and concentrated and spice driven, but surprisingly approachable and definitely ready for dinner.</p> <p><strong>LULI, PINOT NOIR, SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS 2008 $22</strong><b><br> </b>The perfect partnership team: Master Sommelier Sara Floyd and the famous wine-growing Pisoni Family we ve finally found THE affordable Pinot Noir that has pedigree and panache. We are constantly asked by our clients if there are any great Pinots out there for a reasonable price. We answer, not many, but you can find them. Most have a great, well-known name like Bouchaine or Saintsbury, but we sell the more esoteric, small production labels for that niche realm in which we deal. So, when an under $25 bottle of KILLER Pinot Noir came right under our noses, we flipped! Eureka. We have a small allocation and would like to share it with you today, but if it disappears quickly from our shelves, we are indeed thankful to know the wine was created&nbsp;to serve a great purpose.&nbsp; Scarcity + high quality does NOT have to = BIG $$$.<br> <br> <strong>NEIMAN, RED WINE, NAPA VALLEY 2005 $80</strong><br> Drew Neiman is making a name for himself, quietly but surely. His demeanor is shy yet confident. His wine is anything but shy. And Drew, by the way, is no newcomer to the wine industry. He worked with John Kongsgaard at Luna who encouraged his cellar workers to create their own labels while making the Luna wines. He also worked at Newton and made Arietta wines before establishing his own label under the  minimal intervention winemaking category. Grapes are made to represent themselves without manipulation and when grown impeccably, will do so beautifully in the bottle. The blend of grapes grown on the Thorevilos Vineyard on lower Howell Mountain and the Caldwell Vineyard in Coombsville consists of 45% Cabernet Franc, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. This is a powerful wine we like to tout as one of the finest Big, bad blends of Napa Valley's&nbsp;top quality fruit out there. We tasted with Drew on August 19th and the only thing I wrote down in my notes was  YUM!!!! . If this wine was slipped into a blind tasting were held&nbsp;alongside some of the biggest, most opulent Napa cabs on the market, this wine would not only stand up to them, but it would offer complexities that can only be attributed to the blending of multiple varietals. Fabulous wine. If you ve had a bottle before, you already know. Only 175 cases were made.<br> <br> <strong>IL CILIEGIO, CHIANTI COLLI SENESI, ITALY 2008 $14</strong><b><br> </b>90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo this lovely Chianti is expressive, bold, and rich with deep cherry and violet aromas. Need a change from our lovely finds right here in our backyard? We feel this wine covers all the ACME bases for a high recommendation to our clients. Enjoy on its own or with a feast of Italian meats or pasta. Bonus? Only 12.5% alcohol. If we were back in the opening paragraph about college, I wouldn t have said that, you know.<br> <br> <span style='color:#993300'>COMPLIMENTARY TASTINGS&nbsp;</span>Every Friday Night 5PM TO 7PM<br> No reservations necessary.&nbsp; Please just stop into ACME at 1080 Fulton Lane across from Railroad Ave.</p> <p><span style='color:#FF6600'>UPCOMING TASTINGS<br> </span><br> Sept. 4th&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jasmine Hirsch pouring Hirsch Pinot Noir<br> Sept. 11th&nbsp;&nbsp; Kevin Carriker pouring Kobalt<br> Sept. 18th&nbsp;&nbsp; Robbie Meyer pouring Peirson Meyer<br> Sept. 25th&nbsp;&nbsp; Drew Neiman pouring Bridesmaid and Neiman<br> Oct. 2nd&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mark Porembski pouring Zeitgeist, Charnu and Anomaly<br> <br> For a special memory, our&nbsp;guest winemaker or winery owner&nbsp;will be delighted to sign any&nbsp;of their bottles you purchase while&nbsp;in the shop.<br> &nbsp;</p> <p>Visit our website for a complete selection of retail wines in stock:<br> <span style='color:maroon'>http://&nbsp;<a href="http://www.acmefinewines.com"><b>www.acmefinewines.com</b></a></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:2;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes'> <td colspan=2 style='padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'> <p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><em><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>You're receiving ACMELog because you gave us your email address. </span></em><i><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br> <em>Not interested anymore? <a href="http://acmefinewines.cmail4.com/t/y/u/kiujth/dyqhtlrl/"><b>You can unsubscribe immediately.</b></a></em></span></i><span style='mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"'> <a href="mailto:acme@acmefinewines.com"><b><br> acme@acmefinewines.com</b></a><o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:21.6pt'><span style='font-size:9.5pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><img border=0 width=1 height=1 id="_x0000_i1027" src="http://acmefinewines.cmail4.com/t/y/o/kiujth/dyqhtlrl/o.gif"><o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> </body> </html>
