Master Rhone taster and reviewer Jeb Dunnuck sums up the 2016 Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes quite nicely. “The same Grenache-dominated blend as the base cuvée, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes comes from older vines and is...
SOLD OUT! The 2016 Chateau Beaucastel Coudoulet de Beaucastel drinks like a Chateauneuf du Pape, but costs way less. From one of the Southern Rhone’s most legendary producers, the grapes come from just outside the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation. And...

No, that’s not a typo. The 2016 El Enemigo Chardonnay scored 98 points and I’m offering it up at one of the best prices in the country! That 98 point score came from James Suckling, who can be a bit...

When I smelled and tasted the 2017 Milou Chardonnay, I just about dropped my glass! And when my sales rep shared the price with me, I nearly lost it. Poker face Josh, poker face. With beautiful purity, crazy-good aromatics, and...
SOLD OUT! I’ve been looking for a good Pouilly Fuisse for months now. I didn’t find a good one. I found a great one! From one of the oldest estates in the region, Chateau Vitallis’s 2017 is about as good...
SOLD OUT! Love Brunello di Montalcino, but hate paying $50+ for a bottle? I’ve got the solution! The 2017 Luca Brunelli Poggio Apricale offers up Brunello-like aromas and flavors at less than $25/bottle. This Sangiovese-based blend is softer, plusher, and...
SOLD OUT! Napa Cab lovers unite around the 2015 Scattered Peaks Cabernet Sauvignon! Debut vintage, top winemaker, less than $40, and a huge score from Britain’s top wine mag. Trust me, Decanter is pretty stingy with scores, but they loved...
SOLD OUT! When was the last time you came across a 92 point-rated Malbec for less than $15? I’d say it’s been awhile huh? Wait until you try the 2017 Altosur Malbec from Argentina’s Finca Sophenia. I’ve long been a...
White Burgundy and Chardonnay lovers, please take note of the Domaine des Terres Dorees Beaujolais Blanc. Jean-Paul Brun not only makes one of the finest White Burgundy values, this is hands-down one of the best Chardonnay values produced anywhere in...
The 2013 Pruneto Chianti Classico is an absolute masterpiece in old-school, traditional Chianti. This is far removed from the “wicker basket Chiantis” of the 70’s and 80’s. For lovers of wines with more earthy, spicy, Old-World personalities, you’ve got to...
SOLD OUT! Fans of rich, spicy, Southern French reds, you are going to be very pleased with the 2017 Penya Cotes Catalanes Rouge! I think this might be the best, under-$15, Southern French red I’ve tasted this year. Deeply colored,...
SOLD OUT! I love Red Burgundy. It might be my absolute favorite, but finding good ones for less than $20 is challenging to say the least. I’ve got great news for you, the 2017 Domaine du Prieure Bourgogne Rouge is one...
SOLD OUT! The Monte Tondo Garganega Frizzante is my pick for your new summer white wine! From one of the top estates in Soave, just outside of Verona, this is 100% Garganega with just a little spritz. Not familiar with...
SOLD OUT! I tasted dozens of wines to find “the perfect summer red,” and the 2016 Paolo Petrilli Motta del Lupo took home the title. What’s my definition of the perfect summer red you ask? It’s got to be super...
SOLD OUT! The Marchetti Tenuta del Cavaliere is the finest Verdicchio Classico Superiore I have ever laid my taste buds on. There, I said it! Maurizio Marchetti’s micro-production, single vineyard Tenuta del Cavaliere is made with late-harvested grapes that spend...
SOLD OUT! Bravo Neal Rosenthal and bravo Bois de Boursan! The 2014 Bois de Boursan Chateauneuf du Pape is about as good as it gets. Thank goodness there are still a few old-school, traditional, Chateauneuf producers out there. In an...
SOLD OUT! The Chateau de la Selve Maguelonne Rose is my pick for the top dry rose value of the year. I came to that conclusion simply. So far this year, we have poured over 20 different dry roses. And...
Let’s just call this what this one what it is. The 2016 DAY Zinfandel from Ehren Jordan is basically Turley Zinfandel at half the price. Ehren Jordan, who made Turley’s wines for years and helped define their style, is back...
