Special Case-Price Offers for October

Five wines worthy of some volume

From an easy-going weeknight red, to cellar-star Riesling and Barolo, here are five wines we’re confident you’ll want to drink again and again, offered by the bottle, half case, and full 12-bottle case with special pricing.  

 

  • PRINZ, HALLGARTEN HENDELBERG ERSTE LAGE RIESLING TROCKEN, RHEINGAU 2020

    • BOTTLE PRICE $32.00       6-BOTTLE CASE $168     12-BOTTLE CASE $312

    • 94 POINTS JAMES SUCKLING “Quite funky nose that needs some air to open up, then ripe-quince, apricot and lilac notes develop. Excellent structure behind the ripeness and creaminess, the herbal and mineral notes cascading over the palate at the firm, dry finish. From organically grown grapes.” 

 

  • KÜNSTLER KOSTHEIM WEISS ERD GG (GROSSE LAGE TROCKEN) RIESLING, RHEINGAU 2020

    • BOTTLE PRICE $49.00       6-BOTTLE CASE $278     12-BOTTLE CASE $528

    • 97 POINTS JAMES SUCKLING “A masterpiece from an almost unknown vineyard site.

Riesling, Right Now!

Phở Mo’

A series where we order take-out Phở from different places around town, and then taste a few Rieslings we have in stock to see how they play with that particular soup selection.

Then, we report back to you here.

September 28, 2026
Today’s Soup:

Wines selected:

  • Müller-Catoir Mandelgarten Spätlese Nahe 2018 $24.50
  • Carl Loewen Herrenberg Mosel Kabinett 2022 $26
  • Prinz Hallgarten Hendelberg Rheingau Trocken 2020 $28

 

Dang, this soup is delicious!

The broth is fragrant and deeply layered with flavor. Redolent of hard and sweet spices and just enough heat that I’d actually say it’s spicy. Not quite enough to break a sweat, though.… Read the rest

Tenuta delle Terre Nere

An Icon of Mt. Etna

” ‘The Etna is the Burgundy of the Mediterranean,’

says the man whose career as an importer of fine Italian wines is legendary…”

“I love the way Marc De Grazia refers to the Sicilian volcano with a definite article in front of its name. To him, it is “the Etna,” and he expresses his deference to the dangerous mountain with every mention.”

 

–Monica Larner of The Wine Advocate writing about Marc de Grazia of Tenuta delle Terre Nere

 

Mt. Etna is an active volcano (stratovolcano to be specific) on the eastern edge of the island of Sicily, in southern Italy. There’s a long history of viticulture on the slopes of Etna (like, way back with the ancient Greeks, long history), but it hasn’t been until much more recently that the region has commanded much respect for its wines.… Read the rest
