    2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vintage Report: A Vintage You Don’t Want to Miss!

    2019 Brunello di Montalcino is “…the vintage we’ve all been waiting for,” so “Buckle your seatbelts,” and strap on your helmets because the newest vintage from Montalcino is “…an embarrassment of riches for collectors and fans of the appellation” (Eric Guido, Vinous Media). The hotly anticipated Brunellos have “…definitely lived up to [their] lofty reputation as an excellent vintage across Montalcino” (Kerin O’Keefe). It showcases the extraordinary qualities of Sangiovese, Tuscany’s most famous and beloved grape variety, and its ability to exploit the region’s phenomenal terroir. This “…magical year…” (Giacomo Neri of Casanova di Neri) of “radiance and appeal” (Eric Guido) will likely set a new benchmark for Brunello wines for years to come.

    According to Italian wine expert, Kerin O’Keefe, she has “…never tasted so many drop-dead-gorgeous young Brunellos from a single vintage.” She confesses that many of the best wines stopped her in her tracks, generating that “…magical moment

  2. A 97 Point Louis Latour Corton Charlemagne - Limited Quantities!

    A 97 Point Louis Latour Corton Charlemagne - Limited Quantities!

    "For my money, Corton Charlemagne is as good as any Grand Cru white Burgundy (Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet, etc.) at a fraction of the price. It’s the most serious Grand Cru white Burgundy at the most reasonable price point." - Dave Sokolin

    Corton Charlemagne is also the most popular Grand Cru white Burgundy for a reason - almost every bottle is generally great. Louis Latour is an old-school producer and is consistently one of our top-selling producers of Corton Charlemagne, year after year. The Latour family is the largest landowner of the Corton Charlemagne appellation and has been producing wines for over 200 years.

    We’re excited to bring you the 97 point 2021 Louis Latour Corton Charlemagne that’s a total stunner! 2021 was a classic vintage for white Burgundy, but due to weather and hail, production was significantly down.

    A Great Price from Sancerre's 1st Certified Biodynamic Producer

    Domaine Vacheron has taken the wine world by storm, making some of the most consistent, expressive and terroir-driven wines in Sancerre. This domaine is always in the very upper echelon of Sancerre producers.

    Raj Parr, one of the most highly regarded USA winemakers, praises Domaine Vacheron as being at the vanguard of fine winemaking in France. “In Sancerre, there’s Vacheron and then there’s everyone else.” - Rajat Parr of Domaine de la Cote and Phelan Farms

    They were the very first winery to be certified Biodynamic in Sancerre, and these efforts are reflected in the bottle. Since 2023, their estate has also been certified organic. They harvest entirely by hand - one of the few estates in Sancerre to do so.

    Their Sauvignon Blancs are complex, textural and refreshing, with the lift and minerality that we look for in a food-friendly Sancerre. While often associated with summertime poolside or at the beach,

    Rauzan Segla: A Bordeaux Super 2nd Growth

    For the last nine decades, we’ve been known for our prized inventory of fine and rare wine, and that includes sought-after, back-vintage Bordeaux. Our inventory is packed with the legends, and among those is Rauzan Segla. Rauzan Segla is one of the Super 2nd Growths in Bordeaux, located in the Margaux appellation, owned by the luxury retailer, Chanel. Since taking over, Chanel has propelled this chateau to the next level, pushing the quality of wines even higher.

    "My father was Rauzan Segla’s biggest fan since the early 1960s when he started visiting Bordeaux. He would say, 'It’s really the top 2nd Growth... as good or better than Palmer.' And 60+ years later, this super Margaux is at the next level of Bordeaux, yet the prices remain quite low." - Dave Sokolin

    "Based on its current trajectory, the sky’s the limit for this quintessentially Margaux estate." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown,

    Wine Spectator’s #6 Wine of the Year!

    Since 1988, Wine Spectator has released what it considers to be the most exciting wines of the year, resulting in its annual Top 100 list.

    Wine Spectator very recently released its Top 100 Wines of 2024 and sitting at its #6 Wine of the Year spot is 2022 Domaine Drouhin Roserock Pinot Noir. This amazing value, 94 point Oregon Pinot Noir is a steal at only $36.99!

    The Drouhin family has deep winemaking roots established in Burgundy’s vineyards more than 100 years ago. Robert Drouhin had a vision that an Oregon vineyard could compete with the best Burgundy vineyards.

    “Domaine Drouhin is the Oregon outpost of Burgundy’s Maison Joseph Drouhin. While most of the estate vineyards are in the Dundee Hills, Roserock Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills has become increasingly key to the winery’s success since the Drouhins purchased the 122-acre vineyard in 2013.
