To all Wine Exchangers, “I was quite frankly blown away by the wines I tasted at Marietta this year…Aside from being absolutely delicious, these wines offer superb value to the consumer, something that is getting harder and harder to find. I can’t recommend these wines highly enough.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media Jake and Scot […]

To all Wine Exchangers, We’re not going to work too hard to sell this one, it looks like Suckling and Gutierrez have done the ‘heavy lifting’ for us. I mean, come on, after all, how hard a call is grabbing their top vote for Sauvignon Blanc of the vintage when the wine sells for under […]

To all Wine Exchangers, We talk about terroir a lot here at the Exchange.  Why?  Well, you can grow grapes nearly anywhere in the world yet it’s those special places where the great wine is produced.  Now let’s narrow those great places to world class exceptional places, and when you do that, the world gets […]

    To all Wine Exchangers, He’s at it again. Our favorite Argentine rock star 100-point winemaker found another project in Mendoza too good to pass up. This time he’s sourcing fruit from a vineyard planted in 1914 in La Consulta. The vineyard is unique, with a particularly high density of planting for the time […]

    To all Wine Exchangers, Yes, yes and YES. It’s truly awesome to see the self-taught Tommaso Bussola break through in an unprecedented fashion with this 2011 Amarone. We’ve been on Bussola’s trail since the ‘early’ days when everyone was picking him as the heir apparent to Amarone’s undisputed champions, Romano Dal Forno and […]

  To all Wine Exchangers, Welcome back to the latest meeting of the ‘Charles Smith Fan Club’! You may remember from our ‘meeting notes’ last week that Charles was the guy behind that incredible Substance Cabernet 2015 that you’ve bought a ton (literally) of. You may also note our previous (sold out) offers in the […]

    To all Wine Exchangers, “I found a superb collection of wines from the guys at Más Que Vinos, with wines that talk about their origin, feel true to their roots and at the same time show a nicely-crafted profile and nice drinkability…I wish there were more wineries like this in La Mancha.” – […]

  To all Wine Exchangers, This is ‘Episode 2’ in our presentation of delicious pinks from Cru Classé dirt.  Cru Classe in Provence? Oui! Well, it’s the closest thing you’ll ever find to Grand Cru pink wine. Today’s wine is another first timer for us, with a unique, unbeatable tradition, history and pedigree from the […]

  To all Wine Exchangers, Today, we’re talking about a wine that has the ‘right’ everything but unfortunately, comes from an area that, at one point in time, was considered the wrong side of tracks. In June of 2009, I was heading back to Bordeaux for the Vinexpo wine show.  As a cyclist, I brought […]

  To all Wine Exchangers, If this seems a little like ‘déjà vu’, we get it.  We have told Dave Corey’s tale more than once in conjunction with a few wines.  Dave Corey is one of those wine-geek types that seems always intrigued by the next challenge.   In fact, he may have a few too […]
