Burlotto, Baudana, and Brovia Barolo Sale: Ends June 6th

 
G.B. Burlotto Barolo 2017 - Woodland Hills Wine Company
 
There are wineries that make great Barolo, and then there are wineries that quietly shape how collectors think about the region altogether. This offer is about the latter. Through June 6th, we’re featuring three profoundly different estates — G.B. Burlotto, Baudana, and Brovia — each with a fiercely individual identity and an increasingly devoted following among serious Barolo drinkers. These are not “luxury brand” wines built on marketing polish or oversized production. They are wines that people hunt for because once you understand them, there are very few substitutes. For a limited window, enjoy up to 10% off available bottles before these allocations disappear back into collectors’ cellars and restaurant lists.

Few producers in Piedmont generate the kind of reverence surrounding Burlotto today.

Saint Cosme & Chateau de Rouanne In-Store Pick Up Super Sale (Ends May 31st!)

 

For decades, Vinopolis has sought out estates that deliver not just excellence in a single vintage, but consistency, identity, and integrity over generations. Few wineries embody that philosophy as completely as Château de Saint Cosme, one of the great reference points of the Southern Rhône. These are wines that speak clearly of place, history, and restraint, offering pleasure today while remaining steadfastly age-worthy. Our relationship with Saint Cosme has deepened over time, shaped by repeated experiences that confirm just how reliably compelling these wines remain.

That same vision extends to Château de Rouanne, the Barruol family’s sister estate in Vinsobres. Rouanne is a historic property in its own right, revitalized with the same thoughtful farming and cellar philosophy that defines Saint Cosme.

Bernhard Ott Grüner Veltliner In-Store Pick Up Sale (Ends May 31st!)


 

There was a time—not that long ago—when Austria’s reputation for white wine stopped well short of the world’s most serious cellars. That’s changed dramatically over the past two decades, as a small group of producers began pushing beyond freshness and into something far more compelling: structure, site expression, and longevity. At the center of that shift is Weingut Bernhard Ott, a reference point for what Grüner Veltliner can achieve when handled with absolute precision. These are not simple, peppery whites—they’re layered, textural, and quietly powerful wines that have earned a devoted following among collectors who value nuance over flash.

Ott’s vineyards sit on the loess terraces of the Wagram, where deep soils meet underlying gravels and limestone influences from thenearbyDanube. Farming is fully biodynamic, but more importantly, it’s obsessive—yields are controlled, harvest decisions are exacting, and élevage is designed to build both clarity and dimension.

Dönnhoff’s Dry Wines On Sale Now!



 

It’s easy to focus only on the headline wines when a producer reaches the level of Weingut Dönnhoff—but that misses the real story. What makes Dönnhoff so compelling isn’t just the brilliance of the Grosses Gewächs bottlings, it’s how consistently that same philosophy shows up across the entire range. From the first pour to the most collectible cuvées, there’s a throughline of precision, restraint, and clarity that’s remarkably hard to replicate.

The GG wines still sit at the top, as they should—drawn from the Nahe’s most prized sites and built with a level of structure and mineral tension that rewards both patience and attention. But what stands out in this lineup is how little separation there is stylistically between those wines and the rest of the portfolio.

New Arrivals and Sale On Molitor’s Top 2017 Auslese!


 

This week’s arrivals cover serious ground—from benchmark Oregon Pinot Noir to alpine-tinged Etna reds and classic Piedmont—but the headline is unmistakable. A deep lineup from Weingut Markus Molitor is available on sale, and it’s the kind of collection that doesn’t come together often. These are bottles that speak to both breadth and precision, but more importantly, they give a rare, focused look at one of the Mosel’s most exacting and prolific masters working at full tilt.

The centerpiece is the 2017 Auslese range—a set of wines that has quietly achieved near-legendary status. Across the board, these bottlings have earned 98+ point scores from Wine Advocate, and tasting through them makes it immediately clear why. The 2017 vintage delivered a perfect intersection of ripeness and acidity, allowing Molitor to craft wines that are at once opulent and razor-sharp.
