It’s good to finally be ‘validated’! We’ve told the story of this wine before, a special patch of vineyard in the hallowed Oakville appellation, next door to Opus One, that Nick Goldschmidt sources to produce one of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon values on the planet.

When we go to Bordeaux, we taste hundreds of wines. But our mission is to not only taste the ‘fahncy’ wines but to also taste the hundreds of petits chateaux to find wines that are of great value. Today’s offer exemplifies just that. A wine that hits all the right notes and delivers far above its humble

We’ve sold out of the previous three vintages of this remarkable Sauvignon blanc value in a single day. And I think its gonna happen again. This 2019 is STUNNING.

So, as we’re wont to do on occasion, we put Wine Spectator’s Advanced Search technology to the test the other day. We input a crazy parameter. Give us a Chardonnay that scored at least 94 points, from anywhere in the world (we’re not picky), that we could sell for under $30. Why not, right? It’s a pipe dream with how

We’ve waxed poetic in prior Futures offerings about the team of chateau Owner Peter Kwok and Director jean-Christophe Meyrou and the work they’ve done with their portfolio of estates, but this one, to us, is the current gem of their all-star chateaux.

o more Cheval des Andes? No problem, here’s a not-so-casual reminder on another bangin’ Argentine Malbec that is also at the top of the price/score QPR pyramid. Only 15 six packs left! As we’ve ‘waxed’ about before in these pages, Altos Las Hormigas is a ‘dream team’ project consisting of several major players, including:

he ‘Grand Cru of the Andes’. Bold statement. But it’s a statement that Pierre Lurton, founder and director of this inspiring property stands boldly behind…and with good reason…it is. Pierre’s ‘day job’, as we’ve covered in the past in these pages, is President of Chateau Cheval Blanc in St. Emilion and Chateau d’Yquem in Sauternes. Helluva day job, right? But in 1999

They say you can never have too much of a good thing. We agree. But really, how could we get a second shot at something this stylish, with a great story and a 93-point kudo from a respected writer, that was already sensational value in the first place, for a lower price over a year and a half

Miss the Latour? Don’t worry, we got your back with another limited Pinot Noir gem with some deep Burgundian roots. First Oregon, and now the world. As we said in a piece not long ago about l’Envoye’s exciting new bottlings from Beaujolais, the folks at Maison L’Envoyé started with a lot of promise and only seem to be broadening their

Don’t ask us why this tasty Primeur Cru Burgundy from the great 2015 vintage with a double 94pt score would still be available let alone at a substantial discount from our supplier. 2015s hit the market 2-3 years ago and were gobbled up en masse by Burgundy aficionados. For whatever reason, they overlooked this one and, once we determined
