The Envinate Albahra is back, and the new vintage is another huge success. And I am pleased to announce we received 14 of the 40 cases that made it to North Carolina this year. One of Spain’s and the world’s...

SOLD OUT! The 2018 Presqu’ile Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County is my “Perfect California Chardonnay.” It showcases ripe and zesty fruit, but there’s zero new oak, zero butter, and zero vanilla. Tasting a lot like a Macon with riper fruit...
The 2017 Ca’ Del Baio Barbaresco Autinbej is the top Barbaresco value I’ve ever encountered. From a fourth generation, family run, organically farmed estate, this is a wonderful wine made by wonderful people. I was able to secure 10 cases...

We ran the 2018 Guy Allion ‘Les Mazelles’ Sauvignon Blanc a ways back, and I’m happy to report the new vintage is just as strong. For those who love Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume but hate paying the price, this wine is...
