El Enemigo

A Powerful New Voice in Argentina
What if we told you that the longtime winemaker for Catena had his own project?  That he wanted to push the limits of what was possible for Argentine wine? That somehow, despite this, the wines remain under the radar and undervalued?  If you’re searching for the pinnacle of South American wine, look no further—these are the wines you need to be buying next.

Alejandro Vigil is the winemaker for El Enemigo, his winery named for the struggle against complacency, and was the winemaker at Catena for 17 years.

MUGA!
Muga Rosado is a perpetual favorite here and this year’s edition is perhaps the best yet—paler and brighter than in years past.  We’ve been working to source a chunk of it and it’s finally arriving tomorrow.  This is one of the best value rosés in the world and something that’s equally at home by itself as it is with a variety of foods.  Stock up now and drink through the rest of the year.

New Rose Reviews

From Josh Raynolds of Vinous
“This summer gave me an opportunity to sample a number of high-quality Rosés, wines that are ideal companions to hot-weather food or for just enjoying by themselves. But don’t be in a hurry as their adaptability at the table often makes them year-round drinking options.

Our Hottest Deals, Reloaded

Aldo Conterno and Scott Paul
This past week saw two smashing deals—one on Aldo Conterno’s Bussia Barolo and one on the beautiful Scott Paul Pinots.  We sold them hand over fist and demand still hasn’t let up, so we’ve got more of each arriving this week. After this next drop, though, they’ll be gone for good.

The common theme for these two wines is pricing—we’re offering both the Scott Paul and the Aldo Conterno far below their usual asking price.
