To all Best Winers, When the topic of the Greatest Chardonnay on the Planet comes up what area of the world do you think of? Burgundy? Sure, that’s a great place to start. A ton of good Chardonnay out there from Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. A ton of good, really expensive Chardonnay out there from […]

To all Best Winers, When it comes to Sauternes, there are many hallmark estates that make some killer wines.  But one of our all-time favorites when it comes to quality vs. price that consistently gets incredible reviews from the press is Chateau Guiraud. We tasted the 2011 Chateau Guiraud at the Unions des Grands Crus […]

To all Best Winers, Now this was a pleasant surprise! The other day some serious Napa Valley royalty strolled through our door to say ‘Hello’, and drop some serious wine hammers on us. None other than Andy Erickson (is this where I name drop all the great Napa wineries he’s worked with over the years? […]

To all Best Winers, “More serious and layered, the 2013 VDP Cotes Catalanes Novellum is a crazy value that needs to be tasted to be believed. A custom cuvee by importer Eric Solomon and a blend of 100% Chardonnay that comes from two separate vineyards, this Cotes Catalanes is aged three months (on Viognier lees) […]

To all Best Winers, Getting ready for Hallo-Wine? You know we are! We’re proud to present our 2nd Annual ‘Beast Wines’ Hallo-Wine Spectacular, “The Fruit of the Tomb”, our spook-tacular homage to one of monsterdom’s finest creations. The Beast Wines Creative Team worked a beastly number of hours to put this together for you and, […]

To all Best Winers, It’s Round II of Monteviejo Madness! A few weeks back we offered up the 2008 Bodega Monteviejo Lindaflor at a really hot price. You guys spoke with your wallets, we only have about 10 cases left of what, at the time, was a large volume of wine. Well now we’re hitting […]

To all Best Winers, There’s no explaining this one. How in the heck is perhaps the finest vintage of Graham’s ever produced available back in the market, more than a decade after its initial release, at its initial release price? How? That does not make sense. I’m thinking the folks in Portugal are hitting the […]

To all Best Winers, Looking for that Cabernet to take you through November and December…and beyond? Looking for that one bottle to bring to parties, buy by the case to hand out as gifts, or knock back on a weeknight with something from the nuker, and won’t break the bank? No horsing around, your Horse […]

To all Best Winers, I love Ed Sbragia. I’ve maybe met the man once for all of five minutes. He wouldn’t remember me. But I love him. Ed keeps it ‘real’. He doesn’t ‘play’. He was the winemaker at Beringer, perhaps Napa’s finest commercial winery, for 32 years. When we talk about the big, in-your-face […]

To all Best Winers, The greatest wine produced in southern Italy is back….at an even more remarkable price. Galardi’s Terra di Lavoro continues to amaze. How is it that this wine can continue to be so damn good…and continue to get better? The consistency is stunning and enviable. You can set your atomic clock by […]
