There’s one thing we can always rely on in this business and that’s how our wonderful customers tell us exactly what they want with their dollars. So after this morning’s sellout of the Le Sughere, keeping with the same vein and jumping back to Bordeaux, we are here with a ‘last call’ offer that’ll be sure to please.

Ok so, full disclosure, our track record with selling the Faustino brand reaches back many, many years and you folks have bought and consumed an ocean of the stuff. As a result of this insatiable demand for world-class Rioja at more-than-affordable prices we have approached our distributors many times to buy…lots of it (Wine Exchange being one of the TOP

If you look at it on a map that shows elevation, you will see the appellation more or less starts at the river, goes up the hillside, circles around the specific hill of Hermitage and comes back around the other side to the

Now that the 2019 En-Primeur campaign Is all but finished, we can look back and say that these fast and furious three weeks were a blur for most… including us! But now that we can settle in, go over our notes of the 150+ wines that were air shipped to us and read the notes and reviews from all

Gavin did it again! We had him to personally thank for one of the finest Pinot Noir deals we’ve offered since folks had been sheltering at home. That Chanin Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills 2014 was a helluva score.
