  1. 2005 Gruaud Larose: 98 Points & Only $165!

    2005 Gruaud Larose: 98 Points & Only $165!

    For the last 90 years, we’ve been well-known for our inventory of rare, sought-after, back-vintage Bordeaux. One of those special chateaux in Bordeaux whose wines we’re proud to offer is Gruaud Larose. Gruaud Larose was established in 1725 and is located in the St. Julien appellation of France. In the Bordeaux Official Wine Classification of 1855, it was classified as one of fifteen Second Growths.

    “Gruaud Larose is one of the most under-priced Bordeaux that in many cases can compete with the region’s best.” - Dave Sokolin

    A Super Second Growth, Gruaud Larose has that special quality that allows it to age, evolve and improve for decades.

    We have very limited quantities of the historic 2005 vintage in stock, which is the highest scoring vintage since the epic 1982 vintage! Scoring 98 points and priced at only $165 / bottle, this is such a low price for this

    Bordeaux Blanc for Summer

    Summer is finally here, and we have the greatest wines for you to enjoy this season and beyond! You may commonly spend sunny days enjoying a glass of California Chardonnay, a crisp Chablis or a lovely, sought-after Rosé – and those are all terrific choices. But today, we're turning the spotlight to a group of outstanding wines that is sometimes overlooked – white Bordeaux. While Bordeaux is famous for many of its top pedigree red wines, several of its white wines also deserve attention and a spot in your wine lineup, especially during the summer months.

    “I love drinking white Bordeaux in the summer! It's just so fresh and clean. Every time I pop a bottle of Bordeaux Blanc for friends, it creates a new fan. It's basically the best Sauvignon Blanc with some Semillon to make it a tad richer than others.” – Dave Sokolin

    We're sharing a few of our favorites below. These are some of the best you can get, and the prices are so low compared to white Burgundy. These wines offe
