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

We have one of the largest inventories of fine and rare wine in the United States, including the best Rhone wines from top producers. Since 1934, we’ve been known as America’s Premier Fine Wine Merchant. In fact, this year marks our 90th Anniversary in business!

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

The 2022 vintage received high scores from both Jeb Dunnuck (98 JD) and Robert Parker Wine Advocate (97 RP).

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

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.

This week, Wine Spectator released its Top 10 Wines of 2024, with its top wines #11 - #100 set to release next week. Sitting at its #9 Wine of the Year is an amazing Barolo value that can’t be beat - 2020 G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe. Priced at only $34.95 and scoring 94 points from both Wine Spectator and Robert Parker Wine Advocate, this Barolo is one to buy by the case, and it won’t last long.

“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. Aldo and his wife, Milena, are joined by their children, Giuseppe, Francesca and Isidoro. Though there

Dominus is one of the benchmark producers of first-rate California wine, and it’s one of the absolute best wines that money can buy. If you want to get a taste of this Grand Vin without paying hundreds of dollars per bottle, you need to check out Dominus Napanook, the second wine of Dominus. It offers a sneak peek into the pedigree of this top estate for much less.

We just checked very limited quantities of 2021 Dominus Napanook into stock. 2021 Dominus Napanook is a stunner in every sense of the word! Scoring 97 points from James Suckling, this killer Napa Cab continues to bring incredible value at a reasonable price of $99. Why spend between $350 - $400 / bottle on a 100 point rated Dominus when you can get a taste of this estate’s top pedigree with Dominus Napanook?!? Dominus Napanook is very similar to its 100 point sibling and

Despite record drought conditions, Napa Valley displays “signs of brilliance” (James Suckling) in “…a dream vintage” (Ashley Hepworth, Winemaker at Joseph Phelps) delivering “…classic, age-worthy wines that will have long lives.” (Jeb Dunnuck). After the devastating wildfires of 2020, it seems Mother Nature has smiled upon California’s premier wine region in 2021, replacing fear and angst with joy and happiness. Napa Vintners and critics alike, are exalting

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

New year = new wines! If you’re a Napa Valley wine fan, we have THE bottle for you! 2016 Morgado Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard Red is a limited production Napa Valley wine, with only 250 cases produced. With most of its production selling at the winery, this killer Napa doesn’t get much exposure. In fact, there are only three other retailers in the US that have this gem.

Scoring 95 points from Jeb Dunnuck, 2016 Morgado Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard Red is a blend of 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Merlot. “This blockbuster styled effort doesn't pull any punches.” - Jeb Dunnuck

We have a close relationship with Kimberly Hatcher, owner and winemaker who honed her amazing skills through the expert tutelage of Russell Bevan. After many years working with winemaker Russell, Kimberly went out on her own to launch Morgado Cellars. We’re able to offer this wine at a

Wine critic James Suckling recently released his top wines from Chile 2023, and out of 100 wines, 2021 Sena was awarded the #1 spot! We’re excited to bring you this 100 pointer, the only Chilean wine to earn a perfect 100 point score this year.

Sena is a unique, 700-case-per-year Bordeaux style made in the Aconcagua Valley just north of Santiago, originally founded by Eduardo Chadwick in cooperation with the late American wine icon, Robert Mondavi. Together, Chadwick and Mondavi set out to reach the full potential of Chile’s wine country by creating an iconic Chilean wine. And in fact, they did! Mondavi and Chadwick searched for four years to find the perfect terroir! In 1997, they released Sena for the first time (vintage 1995), and it set the benchmark for premium Chilean wine.

2021 Sena has a perfect 100 point
