ust one of those summer weeks…for us. Lots happening. We thought August might be a more timid month…but we were wrong. As we finish up it looks to be one of our strongest August’s…ever.

A genial gourmet, Daniel-Etienne Defaix is one of Chablis’s personalities, and his wines are no less characterful. He releases his sapid, gourmand expressions of Chablis at maturity—that’s to say, some 15 years after everyone else in the region…These are textural, complex wines that evoke the white Burgundies of yesteryear, and they may confuse consumers habituated to the tart, brittle, processed

Just got word. We only have access to 20 more six packs of this resounding Cabernet deal that will most certainly make some waves on the Spectator’s Top 100 list this year… Spring Mountain.

The Medoc is a vast area with miles upon miles of vines. It is home to some of the greatest wines on the planet that fetch over $500 dollars a bottle yet there are wines that sell for less than $20 dollars a bottle. Why? As we have mentioned many times in the past, it is all about the

“It’s our mission – our madness, if you will – to consistently deliver impossibly good 100% Pinot Noir at an unrivaled price…you’ll be immersed in the journey of its epic winemaking challenge, proving that a little madness pays off.” That’s a snippet of the mind behind Winc winemaker, Ryan Zotovich.

We got word from our supplier on Friday. This is it. No more of one of our fastest-selling Chardonnays…ever. What we have (about 200 bottles) is it for the rest of the year. There’s gonna be a lot of disappointed folks when the Wine Spectator Top 100 comes out in November. Don’t be one of them! The story: So, as we’re

Cerbaiona is serious stuff. Like, really serious. Like, perhaps the best producer in Montalcino serious. Like DRC serious, or Coche serious, or Harlan serious. Seriously!

One of the most compelling ultra-premium Cabernet deals we’ve sold this year. The Walls ‘Curiositas’ Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain 2017 is a first-time introduction to this relatively new brand, started by tech exec Mike Martin a few years back.
