To all Best Winers, From 15,000 there were just 33 chosen. Only 33 wines out of over 15,007 (to be precise) won Decanter Magazine’s International Trophy as the Best Wines in their respective price category from their respective country. That’s a .2% chance of winning. Might as well buy a lottery ticket instead. Although the […]

To all Best Winers, For those of you who missed our Grand Re-Opening to the Public Celebration last Saturday, well, it was EPIC. Hundreds of people showed up to taste 30 of the world’s hottest wines, eat some kick-tail local sausage (thanks Mad Mike!) and peruse our sea of Door-Busting Grand Re-Opening Deals. It was […]

To all Best Winers, Cabernet two days in a row? Why the heck not? After all, we do live and work in California, certainly one of the truly great locales for Cabernet worldwide. So let’s do this, as the wine we’re proffering up today is truly exciting. Thanks to Napa’s sneaky diversity of terroir, it […]

To all Best Winers, We’ve waited over 25 years for today’s offer. Really! It’s kinda crazy when you think about it. Frog’s Leap Winery, one of the bastions of Rutherford, has never made a Rutherford Cabernet. Oh sure, they’ve been making Napa Cabernet for decades. But if you recall, they’re flagship Rutherford wine was always a Bordeaux-styled blend and […]

To all Best Winers, Best Wines...Live, Local, Late-Breaking. Have you heard about California's newest A.V.A? What’s an ‘AVA’? Thanks for asking! It’s short-hand for American Viticultural Area. Only certain regions that have a distinct character to their wines can even apply. Then it goes to a committee, who determine through soil research, temperature research and […]

To all Best Winers, It has to be a hoot to just buy a huge tract of land somewhere, plant a vineyard and immediately become one of the darlings of the Italian wine world. If only it were that easy. Look at these pictures. Glamour of the wine business? That looks like an incredible amount […]

To all Best Winers, Ever heard of a ‘Q Score’? It’s the measurement of the familiarity and appeal of a brand, company, celebrity, or television show used in the United States. The TV networks use it to determine marketability of sports stars, celebrities…even the Kardashians. The higher the number, the more ‘coin’ a celebrity can […]

To all Best Winers, Alright all you uber-wine geeks out there. After I’m done with you today y’all should be lining up for cases from this truly unprecedented offer. Y’know, just because we live in America it doesn’t mean that we have access to everything. There are certain producers that never feel compelled to sell […]

To all Best Winers, Talk about your BOMB house Chardonnay! I guarantee you, no one in your circle of friends will be rolling Petit Chablis from one of Chablis’ finest producers for less than a Jackson. Seriously? Let’s call this an early door-buster deal in anticipation of our in-house retail Grand Opening on October 18th. […]

To all Best Winers, In the wine world, we are always fascinated by a great vintage.  This leads to a common misconception among even hardcore collectors that a great “red” wine vintage could be the same for white wines, and vice versa. Funny thing is, this is not always true.  Red grapes and white grapes […]
