To all Best Winers, This wine brings back some seriously good memories for me. The 2001 vintage in Sauternes  was something of a watershed event. Highly anticipated prior to release, the wines met and exceeded all possible expectations.  No other way to say it, these were thrilling sweet wines on release, dazzling our palates with […]

To all Best Winers, Yves Cheron is a lucky guy. His father, Denis, was smart enough to purchase the Domaine Grand Montmirail at a time when pretty much only people living in the Rhone Valley itself really cared about the wines.  Gigondas? Vacqueyras? These wines weren’t on the radars of even the savviest American wine […]

To all Best Winers, Rabajà. The name sends chills up the spines of aficionados of the wines of Italy’s Piedmont region. It is one of the greatest vineyards in the Barbaresco zone of Piedmont and, accordingly, many of Piedmont’s (heck, Italy’s) greatest wines have been produced from this historical site…and still are. Giuseppe Cortese is […]

To all Best Winers, The photo to the right is of Matias Riccitelli. Take a long look at the future of Argentine wine. Matias strikes that perfect balance when it comes to the art and skill of winemaking, he takes wine seriously but, obviously, not himself.  Wine should be fun, right? No pretension, no noses […]

To all Best Winers, Mark our words, the 2010 Bordeaux Harvest was a special one. In fact, many of the wines run neck and neck with their 2009 counterparts. The 10’s have a bit more structure to them. A bit more of everything actually. They are a powerful, tightly wound combo of fruit, extract, tannin, […]

To all Best Winers, Best Wines Online is proud to re-introduce the scintillating Champagnes of R&L Legras! It seems like Jeffrey Davies, Legras’ international agent for the last, like, 100 years or so, suffers from a constant case of being ahead of his time. I remember Jeff trying to sell me Legras’ wines almost 20 […]

To all Best Winers, Montagna means ‘mountain’ in Italian, though the already-legend vineyard that this comes from is more like a hill. But not just any hill, we are talking Pritchard Hill, home to some of the Napa valley’s finest (and priciest) Cabernet Sauvignon wines. And just who exactly is producing wine from Pritchard Hill? […]

To all Best Winers, “The 2010 Chateau Sixtine Chateauneuf du Pape performed exquisitely and, again, was one of the top wines of the vintage. 96 points” – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #203 Jean-Marc Diffonty has stepped up his game…again. When Cuvee du Vatican exploded onto the Southern Rhone winescape in 1998 it was readily apparent […]

To all Best Winers, You might want to click ‘buy now’ first,then come back and read the prose after. The Wine Advocate 96 point 2009 Chateau Laforge Saint Emilion is the greatest quality/price ratio wine of the vintage in Bordeaux, especially at our insane, best-in-the-country price. Is there another Robert Parker 96 point Bordeaux under […]

To all Best Winers, How about some Sardinian wine! What’s that? You’re not jumping out of your chair and clicking ‘buy’ right now? Hey, we understand. We know that most wine-drinking folks, no matter their level of knowledge, might have a hard time embracing a wine they’ve never heard of before from an area more […]
