Past Offers

To all Best Winers, Hey, we get it. You guys like your bottles big and your prices small. Our offer on Peter Lehmann’s Clancy’s 2007 sold out in a flash. Fortunately I got to try the wine before it sold out. Whoever bought it will be very happy. We’re perfectly aware many of you missed […]

To all Best Winers, “…the 2011 Syrah Estate is a beauty!” – Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate “…the 2011 Syrah impresses for its exceptional balance, length and vibrancy. This is a fabulous showing.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media As the trend in California continues to go ‘cool’, we are seeing some new and exciting wines appear […]

To all Best Winers, Port-o-rama. Port-o-laya! Port-o-rooski! Port-oooooo! It’s Port day at Best Wines. Not too often we get the chance to talk up great vintage port, with 10 years of bottle age, at a substantially lower price than when it was released. So it’s Port Day! As some of you mid-timers in the wine […]

To all Best Winers, Time for a Riesling update. Because we loooove Riesling! Germany is a tricky place when it comes to assessing the quality of any given harvest. The country makes wines in a multitude of styles and sweetness levels, allowing for one type of style to succeed where another may fail due to […]

To all Best Winers, While we still have a few remaining 2010 Chateauneuf’s, at some point we’re going to have to ‘call it’ and move on. Nothing lasts forever (except George Hamilton).

Treat people like you want to be treated and what goes around […]

To all Best Winers, Ah, memories. Today’s offer takes me back to 2009. That was the last time that Brancaia’s Tre made a wine this good, and demand went through the roof…literally. Wine was stacked floor to ceiling, and I had a hard time keeping it in stock. I would buy 50 cases, I’d sell […]

To all Best Winers, Looks like I’ve been sleeping under a rock. Hey, it’s hard enough keeping track of one area of the wine world but we here at Best Wines are excellent multi-taskers, so we tend to have our head on a swivel, monitoring the goings-on of multiple wine regions simultaneously in this information […]

Some of you may know that as of 2011, Coombsville is Napa’s newest A.V.A. and an increasingly popular area for fans of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Now the thing that makes Coombsville Coombsville is really all of the things […]
