Featured New Arrival

Arnaldo Caprai’s Fantastic Rosso

Arnaldo Caprai is one of the stars of Italian wine. One of the two faces of Montefalco (along with Paolo Bea), their wines are rich, lush bottlings that manage to tame Sagrantino’s tannins more than most.  In the case of their Rosso, the native grape is married to Sangiovese (which comprises most of the blend) and a touch of Merlot.  The result is something like a Chianti on steroids, with excellent value and a distinctly Umbrian personality.

Dominus has been on a roll.  Both the 2015 and now the 2016 vintages of this landmark wine are some of the best wines in Napa ever, at prices that should make cult-cabs blush.  The 2016 is in stock and is stunning—a statement to which Wine Spectator now concurs.

2018 Terry Theise Austrian Wines

2018 looks the a fascinating and exciting vintage for most major Austrian growing regions.  In contrast to Germany, there’s a lot of variability, but the highs are very, very high indeed.  It’s a vintage of distinct savoriness and even wines which normally show plenty of fruit have a bit more seriousness than usual.  We’re highlighting the wines of Gobelsburg, Ott and Alzinger today—three producers that absolutely killed it in ’18.  These are some impressive collections of wine in three different styles.
