To all Wine Exchangers, The boats are starting to arrive from our Spring Bordeaux buying trip and today’s featured wine is one of the many compelling offers we have in store for you… Chateau Lusseau is a tiny property (about five acres) situated next door to Chateau Monbousquet.  It is the home of Laurent Lusseau, winemaker and cellar master for Vignobles Perse.  The roster of chateaux that Laurent is responsible for are none […]

Back when we were first setting up our internet (yes that was back in the days with dinosaurs and modems), we had the idea to try and create something ‘interactive’.  Since the sophistication of our site back then was limited, we decided to offer up a wine Q&A where people could ask us ‘burning wine […]

To all Wine Exchangers, “Dal Forno’s wines throw so much at you at once, in machine-gun rapid-fire succession, you need extra time to recover from the whiplash, gather your thoughts and assess them correctly.

Well, even more shocked. Like, super-shocked. We recently unearthed a small parcel of Bodegas Muriel’s 2001 Rioja Reserva…at the same price. (Head exploding) If […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Hey, it’s that time again! What is it, like, every two years that we’re able to round up a righteous deal on a legit Brunello di Montalcino that we can sell for $19.98? Then we sell it all in a day and wait…another two years. Well, if you’re fast you’ll score […]

To all Wine Exchangers, The cost of prime vineyard land in the Cote d’Or these days might even make Beverly Hills and Tokyo real estate types blink.  Thus, as even the most established Burgundy vignerons seek to expand their holdings, a number of them are ‘taking their talents to South Burgundy’.  Prime vineyard land is […]
