SOLD OUT! There are still a few great Burgundy values to be found if you look hard enough, and I count the wines of Andre Bonhomme as some of the best. This old, family-run estate is based in Vire-Clesse, one of...
IT'S BACK! We just picked up our last drop of this staff and customer favorite, and it's back on deal!! With the dog days of summer upon us, I can't think of a more refreshing wine to beat the heat...
SOLD OUT! I like to call Pepiere's Clisson bottling the "Rolls Royce of Muscadets." One of the grandest and most extravagant expressions I've ever had the honor to pour in my glass, we were lucky to score a 5 case...
SOLD OUT! Rated 93 points by Antonio Galloni of Vinous Media, the 2020 Vallone de Cecione Chianti Classico is the finest values of its type I've ever poured into my glass. We'll get to the price in a bit, but...
White Burgundy Lovers Unite! The new vintage of Jean-Paul Brun's Beaujolais Blanc is in top form and ranks as one of the top Chardonnay values in the world! Coming from the high quality but low quantity 2021 vintage, we were...
From one of the oldest estates in Sonoma County comes one of the greatest Cab-driven values of all time. Yep, the 2019 Gundlach Bundschu Mountain Cuvee is one for the ages folks. Rated 93 points by Jeb Dunnuck and coming to...
SOLD OUT! When it comes to Muscadet, all lovers of this dry, crisp and mineralic Loire Valley white would agree that Domaine de la Pepiere is the reference-point estate of the AOC. The 2020 Merci Muscadet is a new bottling,...
Remember when I introduced you all to Venge Cab? This offer feels a lot like that, but I personally think the 2019 Reserve Cab from Royal Prince drinks more like one of Venge's higher-priced Cabs. I'm talking Bone Ash-type quality folks........
Domaine de Piaugier's 2020 Sablet Rouge is one of the finest Southern Rhone values we've ever poured in our glasses. Drinking like a Gigondas at half the price, this one offers up ripe and heady notes of peppery dark berries, violet, and smoky herb.
Summer continues to provide us with blazing temperatures, and I keep looking for delicious and refreshing whites to keep you all cool. I think I've found a great one with the 2020 La Val Albarino 'Finca Arantei.' Not only is...
SOLD OUT! Domaine du Grand Montmirail's always highly-rated Gigondas is back, and the 2020 vintage is another highly successful effort from grower Yves Cheron and his family. I got to taste this one last week, and all I can say...
One of my key bits of advice to wine consumers is to always be trying new grapes, regions, and producers. Why? Because it is wines such as these that offer maximum quality-to-price ratio. The 2021 Poggio Bortolone Frappato is a...
SOLD OUT! The fine folks at Marietta Cellars are on a hot streak with their most current releases. Their 2019 Syrah-driven Christo Red Blend just took home a 96 point rating from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. It is one of just...
This is the fourth vintage of Poderi Parpinello's Vermentino we have stocked, and it is without a doubt the best this estate has produced. It is hard to put into words how delicious and satisfying this Sardinian white is. If...
It brings me great joy to offer up this uniquely delicious white wine. For the 20+ years I've worked in the industry, I have always considered this to be the greatest white wine value out there. The 2021 Domaine des...
Do you know how hard it is to find delicious, 90 point-rated Pinot Noir for less than $15? Trust me, it's one of the hardest spots to fill, but I managed to find a great one. The 2019 Villa Maria Private...
Napa Cab Lovers Unite! The 2018 Typesetter Cabernet Sauvignon is my top, new Napa Cab find of 2021. Possessing that ripe, lavish, and opulent style typically found in $50+ bottles, this stuff is clicking on all cylinders. This is the ultimate...
SOLD OUT! I can say with 100% confidence that this is the best sub-$25 White Burgundy I've ever poured into my glass. From a plot of 105 year-old, organically farmed vines just outside of Vire-Clesse in the Maconnais, the Verpailles Old...
When it comes to California Red Zin, Ridge Vineyards is pretty much the bee's knees. Their Three Valleys Zinfandel Blend is in really good form this vintage, and you'll have a hard time finding it at a better price than...
The Barnard Griffin Sangiovese Rose is one of America’s most awarded dry roses, and the new vintage might be their best to date. Their 2021 Sangiovese Rose took home top honors at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, one of...
