We’ve placed four of our top in-stock California estates on our three-day sale!
 
Buccella
 
According to Bill and Alicia Deem, their wine project began with a dream and a promise over a well-aged bottle of Gaja. That fact alone should properly set the stage for this winery’s power and ambition. After all, with a name like Buccella, translated from Latin into “mouthful,” why would they settle for something small?
 
Hundred Acre
 
Hundred Acre’s wines are as unique and filled with personality as their winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge. Big, bold, rich and textured, they’re among the most coveted wines we offer.

New Zealand

New Zealand (also commonly referred to by its Māori name of Aotearoa) is one of the wine world’s most exciting regions. Once turned to nearly exclusively for zippy and pungent Sauvignon Blancs, the options and quality have exploded in the past few years.
 
The results are reminiscent of Oregon: you’ll find plenty of Burgundian grapes and inspiration, cool-climate versions of bolder reds like Syrah, and even a burgeoning natural wine scene. Plus, the pricing is on par with our WV favorites.
 
So, step outside your comfort zone and explore these up-and-coming options before the pricing catches up!

Envinate:

Leading Light of Spanish Wine
 

Unlock Your Discount Now
 
The wines of Envínate buzz with energy, capturing the terroir of their respective regions as if by magic. The methods of this group of winemakers, friends Alfonso Torrente, José Ángel Martínez, Laura Ramos, and Roberto Santana, are low-intervention in the winery and ultra-traditional (read: minimalist) in the vineyards. They are one of the forerunners of the “New Spanish” wine movement.
 
It’s worth emphasizing how profoundly this movement has transformed Spain’s image in the world of wine. Before, Rioja was essentially shorthand for Spanish wine and all other regions seemed to follow suit with big, ripe flavors, high alcohol, and so, so much new oak.

Alto Adige Sale! 11-3-24

Piana Rotaliana by Foradori

A few months ago I regaled you with the details of a recent trip to Alto Adige and a sale on Foradori’s wines…

On a recent trip to Italy for a friend’s wedding, my wife and I decided to stop in the Dolomites for some day hiking and of course…..wine. We don’t really take trips to Europe without that second part in mind. What I can tell you was that I was immediately reminded of the age old saying, ‘Wine only grows in beautiful places”. Traveling up from Milan through Trento all the way to Bolzano was a feast for the eyes; a kind of wild Jurassic green screen that you couldn’t believe to be real and yet it was right outside the train windows at all angles.

“Raúl Pérez is the archetype of the intuitive winemaking genius.” -Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW, Decanter Magazine.
 
Left to his own devices, Raul Perez was planning to be a medical professional. Even though he would become one of the most respected enologists of his generation, it is most instructive to look at Perez as an artist who has brought a new vision to his home appellation of Bierzo, first at his family’s winery and founding members of terroir focused “New Spain” movement like Bernabeleva before bringing his own winery into the world.

Brace yourselves… we have good and bad news regarding Cameron’s newest vintage.
 
The good news: these new 2022 releases from Cameron are some of his best wines yet.

However. The production for these wines is tiny this year. Cameron Fans: do not let this opportunity pass! Grab as much as you can, while you can… it’s unlikely we’ll be getting more this year.
 
We will be opening sales at $75 on these wines…
After November 11th these wines will revert to $79 per bottle
