To all Wine Exchangers, You want to talk history? Here’s some history. The Schloss Gobelsburg has a history that extends to nearly a millennium.  The castle was first mentioned in a contract dated 1074 in relation to Azzo de Gobatsburich, Earl of Kuenring. Since then, there have been many owners and the castle has seen […]

To all Wine Exchangers, All the stars aligned in 2015, especially in St. Emilion. I can’t remember when there were so many great wines produced from this region and that’s saying a lot!  While there have been many great wines over the years, there is something special about 2015. In fact, many of the estates […]

To all Wine Exchangers, One of our pat answers when asked who the top players are in Chianti Classico is a Sesame Street-esque response.  Look for the letter ‘F’ and you’ll be fine.  Our reason for that sound bite is that three of the most consistent, high quality, and engaging sources of Chianti Classico, Fontodi, […]

To all Wine Exchangers, More Slate to be slung!  Boy, what a treat it is to sell these wines. As some of our loyal followers know, this project from Eric Solomon is tearing it up.

To all Wine Exchangers, After an instant sell-out a few months ago, one of the greatest Crozes Hermitage ever produced is back. I’m not kidding.  Jaboulet’s 2015 Crozes Hermitage Domaine Thalabert is more than likely the finest red wine ever produced in Crozes Hermitage, and we just scooped a sweetheart deal on it. It scored […]

To all Wine Exchangers, We try and anticipate the needs of our customers relative to the upcoming wine arrivals from all over the world and spend a lot of time researching.  But we are always open to picking off something tasty that, for whatever reason, seems to have been overlooked by the general populace.  In […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Have you seen this wine?It’s like the whole milk carton thing, the single vineyard Ravenswood program had been essentially ‘lost’ for a decade…until now. Granted, it was never really lost, just merely perhaps caught up in the tidal wave of ‘Vintners Blend’ Zin that the ‘new’ owners of Ravenswood, Constellation, put […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Wow.  Evening Land’s story already reads like a real-life novel.  Over its short, stormy and illustrious history, this operation has seen many of the wine world’s greatest wine names come and go, establish their identities, create new insanely successful projects and even head to jail! Falcon Crest North? But perhaps the […]
