Past Offers

To all Wine Exchangers, We interrupt this normal Friday Bordeaux offering to bring this special presentation! Over the years, I’ve been traveling to Bordeaux on a regular basis and in that time, I’ve had some incredible experiences tasting (and drinking) some of the region’s greatest wines.  But back in 2007, I decided to venture out […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Back in 1995, the team at DeLille Cellars, one of Washington’s pre-eminent producers of Bordeaux-inspired red wines, wanted to do something different. They’re ‘different’? Since the winery was Bordeaux-inspired from the get-go, the team thought it apropos to create  a wine that paid homage to the famous Bordeaux Blancs, wines such […]

To All Wine Exchangers, Cold, rainy weather hit the southland yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier.  The rain washed away months of grime, smoke, you name it, that had collected and we all woke up this morning to a different world, fresh, crisp…winter is coming. And it really does feel like the holidays are […]

To all Wine Exchangers, It has been a somewhat unprecedented time for a number of reasons, not all of them positive. But one unexpected result of the last couple of years is that a lot of new and interesting labels have surfaced, perhaps in part because the market provided unique opportunities and, perhaps, because the […]

To all Wine Exchangers, Fattoria le Pupille proprietor Elisabetta Geppetti is one of the pioneers of premium wine in the Tuscan appellation of Morellino di Scansano. She’s taken every step she could over the years to make the very best wine possible, starting with hiring Giacomo Tachis (the founding father of Tignanello and Solaia) in […]

To all Wine Exchangers, There is a trend in the wine industry, both buyers and media, to spend a lot of time looking for the ‘next big thing’.  That news cycle mentality seems to be a part of many aspects of daily life, but it should never be at the expense of great performances by […]

To all Wine Exchangers, It’s hard to explain some relationships but, when you have been around as long as we have, you develop a number of them.  We’ve had a decades-long and straightforward relationship with the importer of this up and coming domaine as well as many others.  He more or less announced a few […]

Prior to last year, the brilliant wines of Clos de la Roilette had been off our radar for quite some time, I’m sorry to say. Though I would add it was no fault of our own as this brand was one of the casualties in a world where many distribution scenarios are geared towards restaurants and hipster wine bars

To all Wine Exchangers, The ‘Grand Cru of the Andes’. Bold statement. But it’s a statement that Pierre Lurton, founder and director of this inspiring property stands boldly behind…and with good reason…it is. Pierre’s ‘day job’, as we’ve covered in the past in these pages, is President of Chateau Cheval Blanc in St. Emilion and Chateau d’Yquem in Sauternes. Helluva day job, right?

To all Wine Exchangers, Cannubi. Powerful stuff. One of the undisputed Grand Cru sites in Barolo. There’s no denying that the legendary Cannubi Vineyard has produced multiple versions of the greatest Barolo wines ever made. Sandrone, Burlotto, Pira, Altare, Giuseppe Rinaldi, Scavino, the roll call of top producers that have produced some of their finest wines from this fabled site is
