Past Offers

To all Wine Exchangers, Here we go again! Another one of our hottest and fastest selling library Bordeaux steals is back for one last hurrah (while supplies last). We sold our original offering of 50 cases within a mere hour and a half when we sent it back in November of last year and based on […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Never say never because you just never know what will happen in the current marketplace.  Papa John’s, Tesla, Roseanne Barr, there seems to be plenty of crazy to go around.  We have come to expect being baffled, shocked, and confused.  But something happened the other day that was even crazier, something […]

To all Wine Exchangers, South side in the house! Montalcino’s southsiders are an important collection of wineries.  This group of neighbors just a couple kilometers from downtown Montalcino includes Lisini (more on them later), Gaja’s Pieve Santa Restituta, Poggio Antico, Il Poggione and… Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona. Think that group has made a few great bottles […]

To all Wine Exchangers, What hasn’t already been said by us about the talented, passionate Mike Officer? We don’t want his head to get too big, so we won’t blather on, as usual, about how great he is. Nope, this time, we’ll let the pundits blather on about how great he is… “Winemakers Mike Officer […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Here’s a good one. No, make that here’s a great one.

We value our relationships with our suppliers.  Honestly, if they don’t give us […]

To all Wine Exchangers, This is certainly one of the more interesting stories we have told this year. It all starts with Canadian-born, former engineer Marco Pelletier who stepped away from his profession because he got bit by the wine bug.  He went on to work as the sommelier at a number of elite eateries […]

To all Wine Exchangers, When someone of the stature of Enrico Scavino says a harvest represents the best vintage he has ever made, you have to pay attention.  According to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, Enrico said exactly that about this 2016.  Larner agreed with him, and so do we.  We began noticing the 2016s […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Boy, that info at the top sure does speak volumes. America’s Greatest Cabernet?  Hell, yeah! Why the heck would you pay 3-15 times the price for equal quality? Kids, we did this research over a 20-year period to come up with those numbers.  If that isn’t greatness, longevity and consistency in […]

To all Wine Exchangers, This is an easy one, gang.  The Shea Vineyard is one of Oregon’s true Grand Cru sites.  Planted in the late 1980’s, this 140 acre site provides grapes to many of Oregon’s greatest wineries, too numerous to mention, but including Bergstrom, Antica Terra, Elk Cove, Penner-Ash…and Broadley. Funny thing is, Bradley […]
