The Pinnacle of Rioja?

Sierra Cantabria’s Iconic ‘Magico’


There are few truly singular wines in the world and we always jump at the opportunity to offer them. From DRC to the wine in question today (Sierra Cantabria’s “Magico” Rioja), the absolute pinnacle of the wine world thrills in a way that’s completely different from wines that are “merely” great.

Nicolas Maillart’s Staff Favorite Champagne


We’ve carried the Champagnes of Nicolas Maillart in the past, but were blown away when tasting through them recently—enough that we’ve gone deep on the entire lineup. These are some of the most exciting wines from Champagne that we’ve tasted in some time, and they’re at prices that keep them firmly within reach.

Nicolas Maillart’s family has a grape-growing tradition in Champagne that dates back to at least the 18th century -some documents indicate the family has been farming grapes since the 1500s.

Château Joanin Bécot


Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux doesn’t have the same name recognition as nearby Saint-Émilion or Pomerol, but that is exactly what makes it so exciting. Excellent terroirs exist within its humble boundaries, and this fact makes it a playground for Bordeaux insiders in search of fantastic values. 

Exhibit A: Château Joanin Bécot. Named for the tiny hamlet of Joanin and the Bécot family, the estate produces two typical Right Bank blends, including the attractively priced Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux.

Lisini’s Classic Brunello

Including 2011 & 2012 Ugolaia


Lisini is a classic producer, both in style and in that they were one of the original 25 wineries in the Brunello Consortium. They’re known for powerful wines that see extensive aging in large casks and bottle before release, which softens their textures and gives them wonderful secondary flavors. These are reference-point Brunellos that belong in the cellar of any collector, particularly the under-the-radar (and under-$100) single-vineyard Ugolaia.

New Wines from Cayuse!
 
Cayuse is one of the most in-demand wineries in North America, producing wines from both Rhone and Bordeaux varieties that are among the finest in the world and selling them almost exclusively through their mailing list.  Even if you wanted to buy their wines directly off that list, you’d be looking at a looooong wait before getting an opportunity—so this is a rare treat.

We’re always on the hunt for more of these hyper-rare bottlings—and this set of wines is a prime example of why they’re so exciting.
