Past Offers

To all Best Winers, There’s a dead cow on the front. Don’t worry, it’s just a metaphor. From death springs life. Something has to die for something to live. Or so Ruth thinks. But Ruth isn’t really Ruth. It’s Evan, Evan Lewandowski. He’s a sommelier. He lives in Utah. And he makes wine in Utah. […]

To all Best Winers, Throughout our travels, we focus on one purpose and one purpose alone…to find wines of unprecedented quality from great vintages (young or old), that come direct from the source at the best price possible. We have spent countless years establishing a network of relationships with some of the best merchants, agents and […]

To all Best Winers, Where did this come from? Talk about your pleasant surprises. This is one time where I was thoroughly convinced we would see no more of this sensational wine. When we sent this now-initial offer on this old-vine Sangiovese masterpiece back in October of last year we literally sold out within moments. […]

To all Best Winers, We’re slingin’ the Slate! As some of our loyal followers know, this new project from Eric Solomon is tearing it up. Response has been overwhelming to these absolutely lip-smacking wines from the upscale Priorat that are completely over delivering for the price. We cannot emphasize enough what a smart, timely project […]

To all Best Winers, One of the key factors that excited me about the wine business when I first got involved was that portions of it were a bit like the Commodities Market.  That same nervous energy that got me up at 4AM to look forward to the un-predictable market ahead is the same feeling […]

To all Best Winers, Ridge is Ridge. There’s no other way to say it. When you’re talking about a winery that produced its first commercial wine in 1962 and has only improved over the last 50 years, well, that’s about as close as you can come to being a California First Growth. The winery’s latest […]

To all Best Winers, We just received more of the fastest sell-out in Best Wines history. Here’s the original write-up from our May offer which literally crashed our site and sold out in minutes: We usually send out our white wine offers on Saturdays. But this one was too hot to ignore. I’m drinking your […]

To all Best Winers, It’s domestic Viognier vs. Condrieu, in a cagematch to the death. Well, not really ‘death’ like dead death. More like the joyful sacrifice a bottle of wine makes every time it passes our gullets and finds its way into our bellies. That kind of death. Bad for the wine, great for […]

To all Best Winers, Another Find from Best Wines! The next in an ongoing series of Europe-direct deals that we’re proffering is a doozy. Tenuta Sette Ponti is one of Tuscany’s benchmark producers. It is also one of Tuscany’s most consistently outstanding producers. Their top wine is called Oreno…and people love it. Since 2008, the […]

To all Best Winers, Sorry, but I think there’s been some kind of beautiful mistake. This wine shouldn’t be this price, both from an actual price point of view as well as a qualitative point of view. ne of Barolo’s most informed critics, Antonio Galloni, has already gone on record stating, “Simply put, 2010 is […]
