Back by popular demand, we invite you to view the Wine Challenge Video Series with leading wine critic, James Suckling. James recently visited our premises, and like last year, he challenged Dave Sokolin to show him three wines priced under $30 that we thought were 90 points or more. Dave did even better than that. He showed James three wines priced under $15 that were 90 points or better!
Here at Sokolin, we pride ourselves not only on our vast inventory of fine back-vintage wines from top global regions, but also on our selection of wines that are inexpensive but still super-high quality. So we welcomed James' challenge.
