To all Wine Exchangers, You've heard the story, you've bought the wines. This latest set of releases from Piero's Chacra winery is our most limited yet...but might also be his finest...as the scores would attest. We apologize in advance for sell-outs but, hey, it's our job! As the story goes, I don’t know if he was just bored with his home

To all Wine Exchangers, Well, we’d say this is rather groundbreaking, but it seems to be happening with a bit more regularity nowadays. 100 points for Chile…again. Viña Seña started in 1995 as a joint venture between Robert Mondavi and Chilean wine pioneer Eduardo Chadwick. Their mission? Make a wine at the same quality level as the first growths, but at a substantially

To all Wine Exchangers, 94-points two ways…it’s your call. Today, we’d recommend a little of both…variety is the spice of life, right? The first house in play here is a long-time favorite, Castellare. A number of vintages of their Chianti Classico have been on our shelves over the years, and the precise, refined style works especially well in top

To all Wine Exchangers, One of our longest standing mantras has been to seek out the ‘little’ wines from big time, high quality producers. The thinking, which has usually panned out, is that the folks that make great wines simply have higher standards and are more meticulous in the vineyards and in the cellar. We’d go so far as

To all Wine Exchangers, In case you hadn’t noticed, there is a TON of great Pinot Noir in the market. It seems like California and Oregon are firing on all cylinders, tons of great vintages, more mature vineyards, better understanding of what’s being grown. All this leading to a delicious ‘glut’ the likes of which we’ve never seen. On top

To all Wine Exchangers, This is it. The last day of Anniversary Deals. And, to be honest, we weren't planning of having another offer today until we noticed that we hadn't offered anything Italian this week! What? That can't happen! So we're ending our 38th Anniversary Week with a pair of reds from Italy's outstanding 2015 vintage... And we

To all Wine Exchangers, As Robert Plant once sang, we’re ‘going to California’ for our second round of stunning Chardonnay values. Two terrific Chardonnays from two of the top single vineyard sites on California’s Central Coast. To start we have the Bernardus Chardonnay Rosella’s Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands 2018. It’s simple math, we NEVER see a hot price on Chardonnays

To all Wine Exchangers, Today, a quartet of ‘down under’ dandies that are all must-buys, thought the first three wines on today’s offer are only available in tiny quantities… Again, for our Anniversary, we love when it’s also kind of ‘warm and fuzzy’. We have been on the ‘campaign trail’ for Riesling for most of our existence, and have no problem saying

To all Wine Exchangers, Moving into the second offer today is perhaps Bordeaux’s best kept secret. It’s no surprise among the wine trade that I love Cabernet Franc. In fact, when some of the sales reps know Kyle is on vacation, that is the time to sample us (me) on Cabernet Franc. But as much as I love the varietal,

To all Wine Exchangers, It is amazing how some deals fall right into your lap. And today for our first Friday offer, we have something truly special for you! Christian Moueix is no stranger to the wine business both in Bordeaux and here in the States spearheading the best of the best that includes Chateau Petrus, Dominus, Trotanoy, Lafleur Petrus, Hosanna
