Delamotte is best known as the more affordable sister estate of Salon—one of the finest names in luxury Blanc de Blancs Champagne. The estates share viticultural, winemaking, and management teams, per Wine Searcher. While overlooking Delamotte in favor of its wildly more expensive sister is understandable, it ignores the fact that Delamotte is a Champagne House of note in its own right.
 
What makes Delamotte’s Champagnes so special? These represent some of the finest Blanc de Blancs terroirs in all of Champagne. These Champagnes define chalk: the precious fruit is grown on the slopes of the Grand Cru villages of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Oger, and Cramant.

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 (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!

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.

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.
