After a long absence from our shelves, Andre Bonhomme's incredible Macon-Villages is back, and it's better than ever. Heads up folks, there will not be a lot of 2021 Burgundy available. The vintage was a very high quality one, but spring frosts wreaked havoc on the vines, and producers lost 50-75% of their grapes.

The holidays are upon us, and there's no better way to toast good cheer than with a glass of world-class, small grower and producer Champagne. This is a new and more affordable bottling from our friends at Voirin-Jumel, and it is absolutely fantastic. We still stock their Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, and it's as good as ever, but the estate's Tradition Brut is not only an insane value, it's incredibly delicious.

For those looking for a lovely Blanc de Blancs styled Champagne to toast the holidays with, look no further than Thierry Triolet's Chardonnay-dominated bubbly. A ton of True Champagne for the money, this stuff will be gone in a flash. Just 10 cases made it to NC this year, and we snagged 7 of them.

For the third year in a row, Trefethen's gorgeous Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has garnered a 97 point score with Decanter, Great Britain's top wine periodical. After tasting this with my sales rep last week, I am inclined to agree with them. This is a grand, finely detailed, and classic Napa Cab with a ton of style and grace.

SOLD OUT! Just in time for the holidays, the R. Dumont Champagne Brut Tradition is back, and I'm honestly not sure how our supplier was able to keep the price on this one so low. My pick for the top Champagne deal of...

One of the pioneers of mountain-grown Napa Valley Cab and vineyard development, Robert Craig has crafted a masterpiece of a wine with his 2019 Howell Mountain Cuvee. This blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 7% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot is the cheapest way to get Howell Mountain Cab into your glass, and it's an absolute rock star of a wine.

We sampled this with importer Jay Murrie of Piedmont Wine Imports, and a consistent question arose. How does this wine, from such a legendary producer, sell for less than $20? We didn't come up with any answers, but we all agreed that this was hands down one of the best red wine values in the store.

I can guarantee you Lynn and I will be enjoying a bottle of R.H. Coutiers Rose Champagne this Christmas Eve, and I recommend you do the same! Hailing from the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay, this blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir is so flipping good, and I'm running it at a really great price. If you want to experience all of the joys that rose Champagne can offer, this is a good place to start.

Yves Cheron and his family consistently make one of the top-value Gigondas' on the planet, and their 2020 is no exception. A very good vintage in the Southern Rhone, this Grenache-led blend is plump, ripe, and generous, and as Jeb...

If you love the flavors of Sancerre but hate paying the price, I've got just fix for that. Fourth generation Sancerre producer Eric Louis had produced a dazzling Sauvignon Blanc from steep vineyards just outside of Sancerre. This will delight your palate, with Sancerre-like brightness, elegance, and minerality, but it will delight your bank account even more.

I am constantly buying Burgundy in large volumes, as it is a very popular category in the store, and it also happens to be my personal favorite and a passion that I will enjoy for the rest of my life. Below, you will find an incredible list of red and white Burgundies at some of the best prices in the country. Supply is limited, and this is an ideal time to stock up, as supplies will be very limited in the frost-plagued 2021 vintage.

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.

The Domaine Daulny Sancerre truly showcases why Sancerre is one of the best Sauvignon Blanc regions in the world. The new 2020 vintage is as good as any that I've ever tasted from Etienne Daulny, and Sancerre tastes even better when served next to turkey, ham, and all of the classic Thanksgiving sides.

The new vintage of the Colline aux Fossiles Chardonnay is every bit as good as the 2019 was. I'm certain it will garner another 93-94+ point score from Jeb Dunnuck when he gets around to tasting it. Drinking like a $40+ Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, this is seriously delicious.

Our Thanksgiving Six-Packs are guaranteed to please the pickiest of palates, and they also contain 6 wonderful wines guaranteed to make your holiday meals shines. My team and I put a lot of thought into this year's selections, and we are confident that this year's sampler is one of our best ever. At just $119.99 NET and over 20% off for the whole bundle, you seriously can't go wrong here folks. Feel free to order more than one :)

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.
