To all Best Winers, When it came time to belly up to the Chateau de la Negly booth at Vinisud last year we were hoping to see some fireworks.  Of course we were going to get a tasting (drinking?) of the famed La Porte du Ciel from this estate as well as Jeffrey Davies’ cult […]

To all Best Winers, That is a bold statement right there. I don’t believe this is something that Bob Parker would say unless he absolutely meant it. And you know what? He may very well be right. The 2008 Hidden Ridge was an absolute gem. That wine blew us away for the money. It was […]

To all Best Winers, When I was first getting into wine, the Bordeaux bug hit me with a passion. However, like many young, up and coming wine lovers, I had very little extra cash to go out there and buy names like Lafite, Mouton, Pichon, Lynch Bages or heck, even Gloria.  With the funds I […]

To all Best Winers, Nowadays I hear a lot about how wine lovers are going ‘lighter’. First there was the whole anti-Shiraz thing. That backlash was fierce, and with good reason, as many an Aussie wine had in fact become a caricature of its former self. Then we had folks lamenting 16%+ alcohol Zinfandels. Again, […]

To all Best Winers, Those folks in Bordeaux are as cool as the other side of the pillow. It’s amazing. These guys should be ambassadors (wait, I think some are), P.R. people, spin doctors, whatever you want to call them. So smooth, so clean, so…correct. I think most of these cats would be in their […]

To all Best Winers, Fresh R&L Legras back in stock! We told the story of this VERY under-the-radar (at least in America) Champagne house earlier this year before many of you perhaps even knew we existed! We sold out a few months back, and now new, ‘fresh’ stocks have arrived. Legras continues to produce mind-boggling […]

To all Best Winers, Feliz Navidad! Christmas has come early to Best Wines…and to you. In case you didn’t know by now, we love Rioja. We drink a ton of it. It’s round, smooth, supple, complex, balanced, not too heavy, ages like nobody’s business. Well, let’s just say there’s a ton of reasons to drink […]

To all Best Winers, What’s better than one Australian Icon Wine at an incredible price? Two Australian Icon wines at an incredible price! That’s right. We get to offer up both ‘White Grange’ and ‘Australia’s d’Yquem’ on the same e-mail.  This is pretty mind-boggling to me since I’m a bit of an Australian Wine Dork. […]

To all Best Winers, ‘Cause I've got my own world to live through and…I ain't gonna copy you. – Jimi Hendrix, If Six Was Nine That’s been proprietors Jonathan Malthus’s motto from the moment he stepped into the town of St. Emilion in Bordeaux back in the 90’s. I see no reason why he shouldn’t […]

To all Best Winers, Back in April I wrote a little ditty about Domaine des Bosquet’s stunning 2010 Gigondas Tradition. You guys responded. We sold quite a bit. No dirty phone calls so I’m presuming you’re digging on it as much as I am. It is phenomenal wine. But now we’re getting a bit more […]
