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,

Vintage Champagne is where it’s at, and the newly arrived 2015 Dom Perignon lives up to its name! Dom Perignon, well-known for its unwavering commitment to producing the best quality Champagnes, is a true legend and a certified crowd pleaser. Its vintage Champagnes are brilliant in every sense of the word, and the newly released 2015 vintage is no different - it’s an absolute stunner!

A blend of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay, it’s drinking well now - 2054. “2015 is such a great vintage of DP! It’s just so gorgeous right out of the bottle at 10-years-old. I usually wait about 20, but I can’t resist it now. A stunner!” - Dave Sokolin

2015 Dom Perignon has a 97 point score from James Suckling and would be a gorgeous Champagne to pour for your next upcoming party or special occasion. It is truly a Champagne that no one will forget!

Holiday time = Champagne! The most wonderful time of year means that it's time to fill the ice bucket with delicious Champagne! Champagne’s 2008 vintage has become the most sought-after since the epic 1996 vintage, and demand has been off the charts. Prices are still relatively low for this brilliant, A+ vintage, but not for long. Any lover of Champagne must try this vintage!

2008 Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee Rare is a special Champagne from this vintage that’s perfect to enjoy this holiday season. “Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee Rare is one of the most sublime and pleasurable micro tête de cuvées from a massive Champagne house. It stands tall next to Cristal, Dom Perignon and Krug. Blow your friends away with something they know, but don't really understand, yet... It’s so rare; many people haven’t heard of it, and it’s a stunning Champagne.” - Dave Sokolin

After tasting with our team, this is without question, the best vintage ever for

2009 was a historic vintage for Bordeaux that will remembered as one of the absolute greats. "2009 is my favorite Bordeaux vintage in history. Like 1982, the wines show perfectly every bottle, every night." This year marks the fifteenth year anniversary of the historic 2009 Bordeaux vintage.” - Dave Sokolin

As Robert Parker so eloquently put it, “2009 is the greatest vintage I have tasted in Bordeaux since 1982, of which it is a modern-day version, but greatly improved.”

We have an amazing 2009 Bordeaux that offers both top quality and affordability - 2009 Giscours! It’s a great Margaux priced at only $99, an insane price, making it a steal and no-brainer purchase. This 95 pointer is drinking well now - 2038.

“Giscours is always a favorite Margaux of mine, but in 2009 it was truly incredible! I visit this Chateau when I’m in Bordeaux because it’s such a treat. They have invested

A new 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape from Clos Des Papes just checked into stock and it’s amazing! It’s always one of the most sought-after Chateauneufs in our inventory. Clos des Papes remains a true reference point and icon of Chateauneuf du Pape. The Avril family has been making wine since the early part of the 18th century - bottling under the name Clos des Papes since 1896!

“Along with Rayas, Clos des Papes is my top Chateauneuf du Pape.” - Dave Sokolin

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. Véronique

“Aldo Vaira took control of the family vineyards in 1968, when he was just 15 years old. Today, G.D. Vajra is one of the Piedmont region’s most recognized estates and comprises 150 acres, mostly around the commune of Barolo.
