  Posted: September 13, 2024

  Since 1934, we’ve been known as America’s Premier Fine Wine Merchant. We have one of the largest inventories of fine wine in the United States, including both legends and values, covering the best wines from top producing regions across the globe. A gorgeous, 95 point Sancerre from Domaine Claude Riffault just checked into stock, and we highly recommend picking up a few bottles of this Sancerre for your next party!

  Drink white Burgundy like a king with this $31.99 wine that we love! 2022 Domaine de Roally Vire Clesse is from the Maconnais region of southern Burgundy and is owned by the Thevent family. It's consistently one of our go-to values, and it's adored by so many wine lovers!

  “This is the under $32 bottle of white Burgundy that Puligny Montrachet lovers serve at parties and pools.

It’s been my party trick for years to serve this blind and let all the white burgundy aficionados guess what great Puligny producer this is from.” - Dave Sokolin
