#9 Top Wine of 2024-Wine Spectator:  GD Vajra
 

It’s November again and that means three things: Turkey, Pumpkin Pie, and Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list.
 
This year, one of our very favorite bottlings from one of our favorite wineries has been included. Year after year, GD Vajra (and especially their Albe Barolo) provides top quality wine for an amazing price.
 
G.D. Vajra is responsible for some of the finest Barolos we offer and also excels with their more entry-level options. The lineup as a whole is quite simply the best in Piedmont today.

Holiday Bordeaux Is Back on Sale 11-17-24

Somewhere in the last 10 years we started to forget about Bordeaux. Maybe it was the advent and rush of the natural wine movement and ‘new school’ wines , or perhaps it was the increase in perceived luxury following the legendary 09′ and 10′ vintages. It could even have been a slow shift in perception towards the idea that Bordeaux is less of a wine to drink and more of a collectible to be boasted about. The likely truth is that all of these factors have influenced the new and old American wine enthusiast to overlook some of the greatest wine made on the planet.

That is nowhere near an exaggeration. In case you haven’t noticed, Cabernet, Merlot, and the usual Bordeaux blend suspects are capable of making absolutely stunning wines all over the world.

“Compared with the 2021s, the 2022 Pinots generally show more density and more apparent tannins. Many display what I describe as a cherry or raspberry fruit leather quality to their texture and mouthfeel, the result of an erratic growing season that was among the coldest and then the hottest on record.” –Tim Fish, “Tasting Report: Oregon Ascendant,” Wine Spectator
