To all Best Winers, It’s back…again! But the ante has been upped, the scores have been raised, this is getting real serious. I haven’t even tasted the wine yet. I’m not going to lie. I won’t get the chance. This stuff will be gone before I get the corkscrew in the bottle. We sold a […]

To all Best Winers, There’s Shiraz and then there’s…SHIRAZ. I can count on one hand the number of wines that are SHIRAZ. These wines are not only the top of the food chain in Australia, they are among the greatest red wines produced in the world…and they just happen to be Australian. You see the […]

To all Best Winers, It’s no secret we’re unabashed fans of Luca Currado and his Vietti wines. It’s also no secret that Vietti’s wines are among the most thrilling red wines being made anywhere in the world. As we’ve written in the past, Vietti is located in Piedmont’s Barolo country. The Nebbiolo grape reigns supreme […]

To all Best Winers, California Pinot Noir getting you down? Is it kind of all tasting the same? Can’t tell your Santa Lucia’s from your Santa Rita Hills anymore? Escape to New York! The Finger Lakes actually, which is kind of a different state. No Jay-Z, no cab drivers, no skyscrapers. Just lakes, vineyards, cheese […]

To all Best Winers, For me this is about as easy as it gets. I get to sell you an incredible wine from one of the world’s under-the-radar portfolios helmed by a man who’s a fantastic writer with a great palate. That means I get to take half of this article off! While doing so, […]

To all Best Winers, Did you ever think you spent too much on a pair of jeans? I did once. I’m not a spend-y guy. I usually look for the value in things, research methodically to find the perfect point where price meets quality. It’s a little bit of an idiosyncrasy that pays off when […]

To all Best Winers, Goodness. Let me start by saying I absolutely love the color of today’s wine. That deep, dark, inky purple to the rim, where just a hint of ruby pops up to lighten the moment. It’s that opaqueness that you just want to drink…and drink. That’s the Ispiri Petit Verdot Rockpile 2009. […]

To all Best Winers, Before the Santa Cruz Mountains became the trendy ‘it’ appellation in California. Before the Santa Cruz Mountains had Rhys, the current mailing list-only darling. Before they had the Varner brothers and their world-class Chardonnays. Before there was an Arnot-Roberts and their impossible-to-get wines. Before all that…there was Mount Eden Vineyards. Since […]

To all Best Winers, When it rains it pours and, for some reason, we’ve been absolutely deluged in August! Remember when we said last week that The Table 2010 Pinot Noir was our Pinot Noir find of the year thus far? I think it’s fair enough to re-phrase that. Let’s call The Table our California […]

To all Best Winers, First of all, I’d like to extend a hearty and heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to Rioja for acknowledging our passion and commitment to the wines of Rioja. Look at that beautiful award! We are humbled by the honor we received on our recent trip to New York to attend the annual Vibrant […]
