To all Wine Exchangers, We’ve been on the carro della banda (bandwagon) for Felsina for a long time (two decades?).  We have recommended to folks during that time period to simply look for the letter ‘F’ (as in Felsina, Fontodi, and Fonterutoli) as a simple way to recommend top notch Chianti Classico to folks.  But […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Alright, we weren’t necessarily going to share this one with the ‘big list’ because we don’t have enough but, since many of y’all missed out on the Arcelain this morning, we though there might be an apropos quantity of this winner to appease at least a few of you. Aurelien Verdet […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Located just across the hill from Rayas, Chateau de Vaudieu continues to make a ripe, sexy, quasi-modern style of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They release a number of cuvées, most of which are small parcel releases intended to highlight a specific terroir. These are powerful, rich wines that never lose their sense of balance […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Yup, that’s right, you better believe it. Now in its 15th year, the Decanter World Wine Awards is the world’s largest and most influential wine competition. Judged by the top wine experts from around the globe, the DWWA is trusted internationally for its rigorous judging process. DWWA has judges from around […]

To all Wine Exchangers, As the title reads… …this wine is the Wine Advocate’s highest rated 2015 Bordeaux priced under $30 (well, OUR price anyway). In 2016, Kyle and I spent the day in Bordeaux with none other than Jeffrey Davies… Negociant extraordinaire as well as a pioneer in discovering the next “hot” wines in […]

To all Wine Exchangers, “Domaine de la Janasse is one of the great winemaking estates of not only France, but of the world… Year in and year out, the wines, both reds and whites, are among the finest one will find … anywhere!” – Robert Parker Boy, if I was hazarding a guess as to which […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Our first tasting of Bernard Magrez’s hefty, Olympian line-up of estates besides his brilliant Chateau Pape-Clement was in a strip club (all be it a very nice one) in Vegas back in 2005, not kidding. Granted, it had a top chef and amazing wine list besides the…ummm…talent, but it was still […]

To all Wine Exchangers, The connection between fine wine and fashion is a successful and recurring one in the wine industry.  Of course, the most visible is LVMH with Louis Vuitton partnering with Moet Hennessey and also owning Cheval Blanc, Chateau d’Yquem, and Clos des Lambrays among other things.  Salvatore Ferragamo makes some distinctive, if […]

To all Wine Exchangers,   Our buyers spend an inordinate amount of time ‘beating the bushes’ looking for exciting things to sell.  Sometimes it takes them down the road less traveled. It is a laborious process.  It isn’t particularly glamorous to start tasting 100+ wines at 9 A.M. but if that is what is required […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Chateau Les Grands Marechaux.  Over the course of 18 years (we sold the 1998) between our e-mail offerings and the Stock Report, this chateau has been written up more than any other Bordeaux estate.  With over 10,000 estates in Bordeaux we recently asked ourselves, why?  What we figured out was the reason is simple… this estate […]
