Chateau Calon Ségur is a unique estate. Watered from the north by the strong, calm Gironde estuary, its stone

To all Wine Exchangers, This was an instant sellout back in June of 2018 and then again in September last year. So we went to the well again, but this time may be the last as I haven’t seen any offered since this last purchase. It’s no secret that 2015 is a great Bordeaux vintage. And it’s also no

To all Wine Exchangers, Wine takes time. GREAT wine takes MORE time. And so it is with brave Ulysses, the latest project from the mind of Christian Moueix. The Ulysses Vineyard in Oakville, once part of the Charles Hopper Ranch, was acquired in 2008 by Christian. What’s the Charles Hopper Ranch? Okay, history lesson!

To all Wine Exchangers, I guess it’s been a few weeks since we checked in with you so…here’s the latest… If you visit us one regular basis you’ll notice our brand-new Spirits section currently being built out inside our store.

With all of the international influences in Fred Brander’s life, one might think it was a long shot that he would focus on creating California’s best Sauvignon Blanc as a life’s goal. His grandfather, Fritz, was born in Sweden and received a three-year business scholarship from the King of Sweden. In the 20s, as he traveled as a

Facebook Twitter Instagram UPDATE: The bad news? We sold out both of our original in-country allotments this morning in a complete flash, THANK YOU! The good news? There’s more coming! We just secured another 1000+ bottles from France with delivery in about 8 weeks. We are selling those bottles on a Pre-Arrival basis right now. You get first crack on the next

Y’know, we’ve sold a lot of Bordeaux to you guys over the past 38 years. But I can’t honestly remember ever having the chance to bring you a 95-point Bordeaux that sells for under $15, can you? Château de Panigon is a beautiful estate of 200 acres located in the northern Médoc with about 60 acres planted to vines. Its
