Schatzel Wines Sale 8-13-24

Schatzel
 
Your Three-Day Discount Starts Now
 
“Schatzel is one of the most exciting Riesling producers along the Rhine River and even if you don’t like his firmly structured and straightforward Rieslings and gorgeous Sylvaners when young, you will be impressed by their mouth-filling and structured character after a couple of years… Riesling lovers have to check out this domaine.” –Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
 
Though the Rheinhessen fell out of favor post-WWII when most producers shifted to bulk wine production, Schätzel was one of the few families to hold to tradition. They kept the candle of quality burning, so to speak, until attitudes, climate, and renewed interest in Riesling returned. (Having been Rheinhessen Riesling wine makers for 650 years, the family understands patience.)

Dal Forno Sale 8-12-24

Dal Forno
 
Your Three-Day Discount Starts Now
 
In a few wine regions throughout the world, there exists one individual or family that defines the style of the region. When it comes to Valpolicella, the Dal Forno family does just that, crafting deeply concentrated expressions for over thirty years.
 
Established in 1983 by Romano Dal Forno, the estate vaulted to the heights of perfection in the Venato. The family employs traditional winemaking techniques, such as extended drying of the grapes before pressing, to craft their serious and seriously concentrated wines.
 
Vines hail from the foothills at around 1,000 feet above sea level. Here, the family’s 65 acres are planted to indigenous varieties such as Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, grown and pruned according to ancient traditions.

Sale on De Montille Burgundy! 8-11-24

 
Domaine de Montille
Etienne de Montille

Today we have some classic Burgundy for you from one of the Cote’s most iconic estates. With history tracining all the way back to the early 18th century, the Montille family has been producing fine red and white Burgundy at a premier level few have matched. Most notably associated with the village of Volnay, the family has made wine from numerous appellations, even at one time owning a portion of Musigny and Bonnes Mares.

In more modern history, the family’s winemaking tradition gained prominence under the leadership of Hubert de Montille, who took over the estate in 1947. At that time, the family holdings were relatively modest, but Hubert’s vision and dedication to traditional Burgundy winemaking techniques laid the foundation for what would become one of the most respected wine estates in the region.

Focus on the Fox
 
 

It’s no big secret that Kelley Fox is one of our favorite Winemakers. After years as a hired gun for such notable wineries as Eyrie, Torii Mor, and Hamacher, Kelley reinvented herself as the Queen of the Oregon natural wine scene. As she says, her wines reflect “the land, the vines, the fruit of the vines, the year, and everything else unknown and unseen that comes with those things.” Esoteric as these proclamations may sound, the consistence of quality in her wine is second to none.
