Do you remember one of the fastest Bordeaux sell-outs of the last year? If you guessed Ronan by Clinet, you’d be correct! That 2015 was an amazing wine as well as an incredible value. Well guess what, we just received the new 2016 Ronan by Clinet and guess what, it’s even better. Chateau Clinet is one of the

In the unpredictable world of fine wines, for us Brunello is perhaps the most predictable. Serious Brunello buyers come out when the vintage is exceptional and buy heavy, then most are gone until the next top-flight vintage. Sure, you could say that with any vintage of anything, but our observation is that the ebbs and flows of Brunello

We’ve been selling Marietta wines for a looong time (the first Old Vine Red, their outstanding non-vintage blend, we purchased was either Lot #3 or #4, they are currently on #70). The winery is firing on all cylinders these days and seem to have stepped up their game in a number of departments. Scot Bilbro continues to make waves.

It all started with an idea. The Perucci family was one of the dominant players in the region, producing large quantities of commercial wine. Costantino Perrucci was one of the most famous wine entrepreneurs of Puglia in the 1970s and 80s. But Gregory Perucci had other ideas. He wanted to prove that fine wine could be made out

A great deal on one of the world’s most iconic wines just got better. The El Enemigo Cabernet Franc Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard 2015 was already one of the world’s most ridiculous wine deals at its $120 price tag. Now? Wow. Alejandro Vigil is one of the world’s most decorated winemakers, having manned the helm as Chief Winemaker at Bodega Catena

ust one of those summer weeks...for us. Lots happening. We thought August might be a more timid month...but we were wrong. As we finish up it looks to be one of our strongest August's...ever. Like, since 1982. Online wine has hit another level and we have you guys to thank for it. That being said, we are

A genial gourmet, Daniel-Etienne Defaix is one of Chablis’s personalities, and his wines are no less characterful. He releases his sapid, gourmand expressions of Chablis at maturity—that’s to say, some 15 years after everyone else in the region…These are textural, complex wines that evoke the white Burgundies of yesteryear, and they may confuse consumers habituated to the tart, brittle, processed

Just got word. We only have access to 20 more six packs of this resounding Cabernet deal that will most certainly make some waves on the Spectator’s Top 100 list this year… Spring Mountain. It’s an AVA. It’s a winery. It’s an AVA and a winery. Great to see this legendary bastion of Napa (Mountain) Cabernet making some of their strongest

I don’t know if he was just bored with his home estate, Sassicaia, or maybe just looking for a new adventure, hanging with buddies, whatever. But for some reason, in 2004, Piero Incisa della Rocchetta found his way down to Patagonia in Argentina, where he purchased the first of Bodega Chacra’s vineyards, a property with an existing, though abandoned, vineyard
