We've waxed poetic in prior Futures offerings about the team of chateau Owner Peter Kwok and Director jean-Christophe Meyrou and the work they've done with their portfolio of estates, but this one, to us, is the current gem of their all-star chateaux.

o more Cheval des Andes? No problem, here's a not-so-casual reminder on another bangin' Argentine Malbec that is also at the top of the price/score QPR pyramid. Only 15 six packs left! As we’ve ‘waxed’ about before in these pages, Altos Las Hormigas is a ‘dream team’ project consisting of several major players, including:

he ‘Grand Cru of the Andes’. Bold statement. But it’s a statement that Pierre Lurton, founder and director of this inspiring property stands boldly behind…and with good reason…it is. Pierre’s ‘day job’, as we’ve covered in the past in these pages, is President of Chateau Cheval Blanc in St. Emilion and Chateau d’Yquem in Sauternes. Helluva day job, right? But in

They say you can never have too much of a good thing. We agree. But really, how could we get a second shot at something this stylish, with a great story and a 93-point kudo from a respected writer, that was already sensational value in the first place, for a lower price over a year and a half

Miss the Latour? Don't worry, we got your back with another limited Pinot Noir gem with some deep Burgundian roots. First Oregon, and now the world. As we said in a piece not long ago about l’Envoye’s exciting new bottlings from Beaujolais, the folks at Maison L’Envoyé started with a lot of promise and only seem to be broadening

Don’t ask us why this tasty Primeur Cru Burgundy from the great 2015 vintage with a double 94pt score would still be available let alone at a substantial discount from our supplier. 2015s hit the market 2-3 years ago and were gobbled up en masse by Burgundy aficionados. For whatever reason, they overlooked this one and, once we determined

Penley Estate is back at it with a smashing follow-up to their best-selling Wine Spectator Top 100 Phoenix Cab! Kym Tolley was one of the modern pioneers of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. As the man who ran his family’s Penley Estate for decades, he managed to help bring the Coonawarra wine-growing region to prominence as one of the boutique guys in

To all Wine Exchangers, Wow, where does the time go? Hard to believe it’s already August. We’d like to thank you for all the business and for keeping us on our toes in July. We really appreciate it. One thing of note: There’s more of the epic 2006 Faustino steal from the other week so have at it. It

In most parts of the wine world, if you started your operation in 1985, you would be a relative newcomer. Australia had vineyards (a lot of them) going back to the 19th Century, the wine culture in South America dates back more than a century, and, of course, some European sites date back millennia. New Zealand was pretty

It’s back and better than ever! One of our fastest sell-outs in Winex history (the 2010) returns with the long-awaited 2015! The Esprit de Pavie 2015, hits all the right notes. The 2015 vintage in Bordeaux, especially in the Right Bank, is regarded by any top critic, owner or winemaker as one of the greatest vintages ever for the
