I looked long and hard for the perfect Thanksgiving Pinot Noir this year, and I found it in the 2021 Jolete 'Le Verre' Pinot Noir. Vintage 2021 is a return to greatness for Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, with producers ecstatic about the quality of the year's Pinot Noirs. This is great news, especially after the difficulty of the smoke-plagued 2020 vintage.

I love an Old-Vine Zin with Thanksgiving dinner, and I think I've found the perfect one, just in time for Thanksgiving. Bruce Neyers and his team make this wine from 100+ year old vines located in the Sierra Foothills and Lodi. At just 14.1% ABV (low for Red Zin these days), this fresh, peppery, and food-friendly wine is my idea of the Perfect Thanksgiving Zin.

The Domaine de Colette Beaujolais Villages is my pick for the best value Gamay in the marketplace. It is bursting with joyous red fruits, bright acidity, and granitic minerality, and I love it served with a slight chill. Even better, with Thanksgiving just around the corner, this will light it up with your meal.

Our Glorious Gamay Samplers are our solution to the fact that we will not be getting any Beaujolais Nouveaux this year. Trust us, we are just as disappointed as you all are, but none of our suppliers could guarantee delivery of their Nouveau in time for Beaujolais Nouveau Day. Due to the crazy shipping delays we've seen this year, they couldn't even guarantee delivery in time for Thanksgiving. We know this situation will leave some folks saddened, us included, but we've got a scrumptious and comforting solution. 

Can you believe it’s that time of year again? Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, and we’ve been preparing something special for you all. The last few years, our curated six-packs have been a huge hit, and this year’s Extreme Value Six-Packs are going to make lots of folks happy. At just $64.99 net and over 20% off, these take the guesswork out of buying holiday wines.

Here's a wine that doesn't need too much prose to get the point across that it is delicious, it's an extreme value, and it comes from a hard-working family estate. If you have loved the Rhones from Piaugier and Amido, trust me, and get a six-pack of this. You won't regret it! It comes to us from the same importer as the aforementioned estates.

Sold Out! It’s Beaujolais Nouveau Time! This year’s batch of Beaujolais Nouveaux will arrive and be available for sale Thursday, November 17th! We did not think we would have any Nouveaux this year, but the shipment arrived on time, and we were able to snag 7 cases. That is all we will get this year.

I sold Rombauer for many years at Table Wine, and this is no lambast about the quality of that wine. I just got really ticked off one day when I saw it on the shelf at Walmart. Later that week,...

There's a new extreme California Cab value in the market, it's made by David Duckhorn, and it offers unparalleled value for the price. Being that David grew up in Napa in and around his family's winery, he's got a "connection or...

This tiny, family-run, certified organic estate is located in the hills above Asti, and their Barbera vines are approaching 70 years of age. These old, low-yielding vines produce a wine with full and ripe flavors yet this one stays fresh and light on its feet. My pick for the perfect summer red, this will appeal to a wide variety of palates.

When White Rhones are good, they are among my favorite whites on the planet. Trust me, the Salel et Renaud La Galinette is fabulous, especially for those who love classically styled White Rhones! A wonderfully aromatic and crisp blend of...

Is Marietta's Gibson Block Syrah the finest value of its type being produced in California today? I say yes. Is it the finest Syrah value in the world? I think one could make a strong argument for that case. You be...
