Chianti remains one of the best value regions in Italy, despite its great international acclaim.  Case in point? The wines from Rocca di Montegrossi. These are big, rich versions of Chianti, with texture and density to spare.
 
The rosé, a blend of Merlot and Sangiovese, captures beautiful spice and fruit notes in a charming, food-friendly package. The Gran Selezione, made only in the best years, is a stunning wine from the San Marcellino vineyard, made unique with the inclusion of the rare, indigenous red variety Pugnitello. This composes about 5% of the blend, and adds a layer of earth and black berry notes. This wine is rich and irresistible in a bold style.

Tokaji is one of the world’s greatest sweet wines. Written about in reverential tones throughout history, they fell out of favor when communist rule severely impacted the quality and availability of the wines.
 
The Royal Tokaji Company has led the region’s renaissance. Notable wine writer Hugh Johnson founded the company in 1990 with the sole purpose of revitalizing these once renowned wines. In addition to their maniacal focus on quality, the company has also been reviving the single-vineyards that were once synonymous with the best Hungarian bottlings.
 
They craft wines in a range of styles from bone-dry to one of the naturally sweetest styles possible, the rare Essencia. The results are some of the greatest wines being made in the world, offering unparalleled experiences in your glass.

Wehlener Sonnenuhr Sale 9-30-24

Wehlener Sonnenuhr Sale

Wehlener Sonnenuhr is arguably the most important and beloved portion of the entire Mosel. It was no surprise to us that Wine Spectator named it one of the world’s top ten greatest vineyards. The other nine may be a bit out of reach to the average consumer (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s estate vineyard isn’t exactly a pop ‘n pour). Wehlener Sonnenhur, on the other hand, still graces us with affordable, drink-now options that can easily cellar for decades, too. And the fact that it’s home to one of our most loved Mosel estates, Markus Molitor, doesn’t hurt either.
 
The soils in Sonnenuhr (which translates to “sundial” in German, in reference to the bold sundial in the vineyard) are Devonian slate.

Sale on Gaja: Legend of Piedmont 9-29-24

 

When speaking about the wines of Gaja, one must realize they’re speaking about a man, the growth of an entire region, and the actual juice that’s in the bottle. It’s impossible to separate the three. Angelo Gaja (pictured on the right) was an individual that forever changed the perception of Piemonte and Italian wine on the global market. Largely taking over his family estate in 1961, Angelo recognized the international disinterest in fine Italian wine and he began a journey of reinventing the vinous identity of his home village of Barbaresco and the nation as a whole.

Early on, there were a few key innovations that Gaja is largely recognized as pioneering in his region. Firstly, he dramatically lowered vineyard yields across his properties to focus on developing intense concentration at the cost of of overall volume.… Read the rest
