To all Wine Exchangers, You always remember your first, right? First kiss, first child, first, uh, anyway… I remember my first Elderton Command Shiraz like it was yesterday. Boy, what a wine. It was the 1992. At that time we were helping to pioneer the boutique Aussie wine movement in America by championing a number […]

To all Wine Exchangers, All things being equal, who would you want to cook an ‘Iron Chef Breakfast’ with what you have in the fridge, Thomas Keller or the line chef from the local Denny’s?  With all due respect, while the Denny’s option may be perfectly competent, someone like the virtuoso chef of Per Se […]

To all Wine Exchangers,   It’s the New Wine Exchange so we might as well bust out the newest model of one of our all-time best-selling Cabernets. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the NEW and improved Ahnfeldt…better than ever. As many of you recall, we’ve had a jolly time selling off the ‘old’ Ahnfeldt wines […]

To all Wine Exchangers,   Another wonderful surprise from South Africa. If SA keeps this up I may eventually have to road trip down there just to see what the heck is going on! Then again, I don’t know if I’d want to if I had to deal with… “Our isolated farm is high up […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Sending out an S.O.S. Some of you might recall a number of years ago (November 2003 to be exact) we did quite a bit of work with a wine called “When we Dance’, a Tuscan red produced by the Il Palagio estate. Now the whole "As seen on TV" approach hadn’t […]

To all Wine Exchangers, We'll make this as short as possible because it is pandamonium around here this morning. For those of you who tried to purchase the Myka Chardonnay earlier, we had originally sold out of what we had in 25 mins. Huge WOW from us. We experienced a quick bit of panic as […]

To all Wine Exchangers, It’s the return of The Table! The sommelier’s secret is back. Our best Pinot value of 2014 was an instant sell-out and you guys clamored for more. Months went by as we echoed your demand to our distributors and it seems that Evening Land tripped over a few more cases and […]

To all Wine Exchangers, There aren't a lot of Pinot Noir producers in California who can claim that they have been doing it for almost four decades. It is a small and distinguished list (Hanzell, Mount Eden, and such). At the time (the 70’s), Pinot Noir was definitely not en vogue in the California wine world.  While it had a definite core of […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Yeah, the name of today’s wine is a wacky one for us Amurcans. But then again, you don’t drink the name. I presume Vinessens refers to the ‘vine’s essence’, which is what this small, family-run winery in the Alicante region of Spain is shooting for. In Spain they use the term […]

To all Wine Exchangers, It would be easy for us to say, “This 2006 Pomerol, made by garagiste ‘Bad Boy’ Jean-Luc Thunevin of St. Emilion’s Chateau Valandraud fame, sells for $24.98, is ridiculously great wine for the fare, and you should buy, buy, buy!” (Hmmm, that sounds pretty good, actually…) But that is not exactly […]
