Daily FlashWehlener Sonnenuhr ranks as one of the greatest places in the world to grow Riesling. An undisputed Grand Cru, the impossibly steep vineyard’s 400 million year-old blue slate soil yields some of the most elegant and prized Rieslings in the world. No wine from a Grand Cru vineyard with such a noble and magnificent history as Wehlener deserves the fate of $12. It’s sort of like seeing a bat swung by Ted Williams auction for the same price as a Big Mac. But my business is to sell Riesling and this deal presented a rare...Get more details -
Daily FlashArianna Occhipinti is without doubt one of the world’s most exciting and frighteningly talented winemakers. Inspired by a visit to Italy’s largest wine fair with her winemaking uncle Giusto (of Sicilian star producer COS) when she was 16, she enrolled in winemaking school at 18, and released her first vintage in 2006, made from one hectare of vines essentially in the family’s back yard- aged 21. Since then she’s made waves. She’s generally considered to make ‘natural’ wines, but as you’ll read below, it’s a little more complicated than that. What is straightforward however, is that her wines are ridiculously delicious and...Get more details -
Daily FlashCastello di Monsanto, a Tuscan standard and our mainstay choice for classy, approachable Chianti, just scored a huge 94 point acclaim for their 2014 Chianti Classico Riserva. We’re not surprised. 2014 is a vastly underappreciated vintage in Italy and in the hands of Monsanto, one of Tuscany’s specialist for structure and finesse, brilliantly capitalized on the vintage’s strengths. Love Chianti? Don’t miss this instant classic. The 2014 Chianti Classico Riserva is another stellar wine from Monsanto. Here the flavors are dark and...Get more details -
Reserve ListWhat happens when a hyper successful Napa winery confronts one of nature’s most vexing and complex problems–not in the vineyard, but inside their own home? In 1990, Shari and Garen Staglin, owners of Rutherford’s renowned Staglin estate were on a surefire path to success. Sales were great. The press even better. Then one afternoon the Staglins were told about a future they never foresaw or prepared for: helping their teenage young son navigate through schizophrenia. Salus, the estate’s superb...Get more details -
Daily FlashThe wine world has justifiably gone head over heels for the 2015 Northern Rhône wines. Flesh, structure, terroir and balance are all present in seductive wines that are in for the long haul. Demand for the wines has vastly outstripped supply and wines that we once cavalierly offered when we felt like it have been tightly allocated. Producers like Guillaume Gilles in Cornas, Levet and Rostaing in Côte Rôtie, which always had their followings, have suddenly become very seriously clamped down on. The world wants...Get more details -
Bordeaux ListIf any of you have been following the 2015 Bordeaux vintage, from when we first offered the wines as futures in the summer of 2016, to the recent lavish praise for the in-bottle wines (which we’ll start taking delivery off around June) from the wine press- you will have seen that a vast amount of the attention has been focused on Margaux. From Neal Martin “In 2015 I would be setting my sights on the rejuvenated appellation of Margaux”, Antonio Galloni “Readers will find a bevy of spectacular wines in Margaux in 2015” James Molesworth in the Wine Spectator “If you were to stick to just one appellation...Get more details -
Daily FlashLemon peel, stone drenched in white peach, a sprinkle of freshly torn white flowers … Jo Landron’s stellar Domaine de la Louvetrie rewards both the seasoned lover of Muscadet and newcomer alike. Crisp, light and mouthwateringly refreshing, Mr. Landron’s sublime 2016 efforts only confirm his already heroic status of organic wine-making in the Loire Valley. Moreover, the single vineyard Les Houx ranks alongside other legends like Pepière’s Clisson. Our advice? Buy cases. It seems Jo Landron has two primary missions in life: First is to elevate Melon de Bourgogne to become a...Get more details -
Daily FlashJadot created quite a stir in 2009 when they released a bottling consisting of a blend of 17 different Beaune 1ers Crus to celebrate their 150th anniversary. It was a massive success, both commercially, as well as qualitatively. Sumptuous and ageworthy, the wine found a lot of fans among consumers and critics. As such, this exceptional house decided to release the cuvée in excellent vintages. Since 2009, there has been a 153rd anniversary bottling in 2012 and now 2015 is the latest release in the series. No surprise...Get more details -
Reserve ListThis will be brief. These are both legendary wines we have VERY short supply of. First, the 2012 Riserva from modernist stalwart Casanova di Neri has been released to a pair of 98 pt. scores. The 2012 Riservas have been garnering glowing reviews, with Galloni, Larner and Suckling all gushing over just how good these have turned out. Neri’s iconic Cerretalto is no exception: intense, complex and opulent, this is a wine sure to be legendary. Also on offer - also in incredibly small supply - is the 2013...Get more details -
Daily FlashBelow is what I wrote for the 2015. In 2016, nothing has changed. Broadside remains one of the BEST values in CA wine. When Eric Asimov is gushing, well, you know you’ve done something right. Ripe, rich, intense, and yet … it still tastes like Cab! Jump in with both feet!!! Look, BBQ season is upon us and you’re going to need some broad shouldered, sturdy wines with rich fruit. There’s a lot of wine in the world satisfying these demands, but relatively few which deliver the goods with any sort of balance, typicity or, dare I say it, class. Of course, when you limit it to wines under $13, well, that’s a rare...Get more details -
Burgundy listBurgundy madness has inspired something of a crisis for wine lovers in recent years. Small quantities and enormous demand has driven prices through the roof, making even humble Bourgogne appellations wines quite expensive. From well regarded growers, it is not uncommon to see wines at this entry level sell for well over $30 and sometimes even $40 or $50. Gone are the days of $20 Burgundy, at least the ones you want to drink. Thankfully there are still some very serious values to be found. Often these...Get more details -
Reserve ListThe true origins of Clos Mogador can be traced back to Roman times. This vast amphitheater of crumbling slate covers less than 2,000 hectares, and is surrounded by mountains up to 1.200 metres high with the vineyard’s lower extremes lapped by the Siurana River. This river runs below a small hamlet of the same name that has a rich history, inspiring in the past some of the most daring Moorish legends. It was this legendary spot, with its clear beauty and breathtaking drama, that inspired...Get more details -
Burgundy listLike Prudhon, Domaine A. & P. de Villaine offers incredible value. However, nothing Aubert de Villaine has ever done as been “under-the-radar.” It turns out that when you run Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, people tend to take notice of any other activities in the wine world you may undertake. After all, other luminaries who are affiliated with DRC have gone to found some of Burgundy’s most prestigious Domaines: Madame Lalou Bize Leroy set up shop with Domaines Leroy and d’Auvenay, while Henri Roch founded...Get more details -
Daily FlashOur passion for Riesling has lead us to work with wines primarily from Germany and France. If you have been following the story here you understand the Beaver State has yet to really to make a splash. But that is about to change. Brooks, the small artisan estate based in the Willamette, has for years offered reliable, well made wines that were good, but never really exciting. Their 2016 effort has elevated their game. Big time. The 2016 Brooks Meyer Vineyard Riesling is a mouthwatering single vineyard bottling with a touch of residual sugar (Germans Riesling nerds would classify this as...Get more details -
Reserve ListIn December last year, we sent out a spot offer on the 2015 Clos i Terrasses wines - Clos Eramsus and Laurel. That was before all the press came out on the wines. Sure, there was buzz. Jancis pointed the way, early on: "These days everyone wants to put a positive spin on each year's vintage, wanting, rightly or wrongly, to stand out in a crowded digital landscape. But ... people may be justified in wanting to go on at length about just how great 2015 has been." - Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages. But since then, monster scores have landed for everything. The Clos i Terrasses Laurel, in particular, has always...Get more details -
Daily FlashStyle and substance go hand in hand with the Cornas “Granit 30“ from Northern Rhône superstar Vincent Paris. Loaded with sweetness and earth, the Granit 30 boasts a vital freshness, and more impressively, more importantly, exceptional balance. Year in and year out, “Granit 30” hits way, way above the asking price. 2016, as you may know already, is going to be akin to the Second Coming for Rhône geeks. “So far, 2016 looks like a classic vintage, with most growers favoring it over 2015,” reports...Get more details -
Daily FlashAlain Junguenet isn’t the only name in Châteauneuf - Eric Solomon has been a standard bearer for generations. Domaine, Giroud, Janasse, Marcoux and Clos St. Jean have all been on Billboard top 20 for 2 decades now. All producers well regarded for their masculine, opulent styles that manage to remain fresh and balanced, they have had no difficulty in finding ardent adherents to their annual releases. 2016, however, is different. This really is a once-in-a-generation vintage. The balance...Get more details -
Burgundy listDomaine Henri Prudhon had been an under-the radar secret for decades. A mainstay of the Rosenthal portfolio, Prudhon was always a solid bet for value. It still is. However, St. Aubin has been on something of a wild ride in the last decade. In the ‘80s, St. Aubin was a Burgundy backwater, often overlooked and seldom considered worth exploration. Sure stalwart traditionalists like Prudhon and Langoureau produced lovely wines, but few people noticed. Only aficionados and geeks snapped up...Get more details -
Bordeaux ListThe Château formerly known as Capbern Gasgueston, now simply ‘Capbern’, has been seriously hot property in Bordeaux in recent years. Both it and its brother property Calon Segur were two of the most sought-after releases of the 2016 futures. Capbern sold out in Bordeaux in a flash, and Calon Segur was like gold dust- released at $87.99 and now selling in the States for double that only 6 months later. Due to the small size of Capbern, it’s always hard finding ready to drink back vintages, and today we’ve got...Get more details -
Daily FlashFor those who enjoy crisp medium body wines but have drowned in the monotony of The Big Three (Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio) or we’re excited to show you our little $13 hidden treasure. We love this stuff. Stone fruits, lemon, lime with thirst quenching acidity, refreshing low alcohol (12%) this is delicious (and crazy inexpensive) highly satisfying charmer. Think Chablis taking a much needed tropical vacation and you’re getting close.Get more details -
Daily FlashI bought a solid chunk of this on the spot after tasting it. Juicy, sweet fruits in a medium bodied package, bristling with energy and begging for another glass before even finishing the first one. It is THE PERFECT early summer wine. Drink it with a chill, drink it at room temperature, drink it with food, drink it as an aperitif, but whatever you do, just drink it.Get more details -
Reserve ListI am picky when it comes to Brunello. Too many are about overwhelming power and intensity, as if sheer size and scale should force the wine drinker into submission and admit, however, reluctantly, that, yes, indeed, Brunello is great. However, Sangiovese is not a grape that is all about power.The best of them have a threadline of finesse, elegance and subtlety that the greatest wines in the world all share. Fuligni and Costanti are two producers that underscore this style.Get more details -
Daily Flash13.5 hectares. That’s the entirety of the Riffault holdings in Sancerre. While it represents only 4 tenths of 1 percent of appellation, the tremendous presence the Riffault has created here has made this tiny, humble domain feel much, much bigger. For American audiences, Riffault has yet to enjoy the same attention as Henri Bourgeois, Boulay or Vacheron. But make no mistake, Riffault will soon belong in the same conversation. The U.S. press, for one, seems aimed at making Riffault a star. “While not yet nearly so well known as some of his colleagues in Beanue or Chavignol, Stéphane Riffault has now emerged...Get more details -
Daily FlashRidge, the leading light of American wine, has just released their Spring offering. For the record, we do not “sell” Ridge. These wines with the deep and faithful following they have, sell themselves. But if you are new to the party, welcome. Be prepared to fall hard for the signature energetic complexity and endearing poise that has melted wine enthusiasts’ hearts for decades. A bottle of Ridge – no matter the vintage or blend– always guarantees an expansive look into Santa Cruz or Sonoma terroir.Get more details -
Bordeaux ListWe were lucky to be visited by Etienne de Montille last week and taste through a selection of some of the 2015s. Yes, it was special to taste through what are truly special wines, but it as even more special to hear about the Domaine - its history, present and future - from Etienne himself. The de Montille family is Burgundy royalty - even if they never made another bottle of wine. The history of this prominent family figures quite large in the history of Burgundy. However, lucky for us, they continue to produce among Burgundy’s greatest wines in every vintage.Get more details -
Bordeaux ListWhile Château Marsau sits in the not very widely known right bank appellation of Côtes de Francs, the Petrus comparison isn’t just hyperbole. Marsau’s vineyards are atop a clay outcrop, with 12 hectares of thirty five year old vines including a portion on the precious and rare ‘blue clay’ that appears in Petrus and almost nowhere else. We tasted their 2015 during our week in Bordeaux tasting the 2017s from barrel, and we were blown away by it. While it’s a small production wine, we managed to dig ourselves up a healthy parcel at a hot price, for good measure including half bottles and magnums.Get more details -
Daily FlashWild flowers, berries, dark and savory, velvety fruit with a hint of bitter dark chocolate … the 2016 Château Sainte Eulalie is the perfect example of how Minervois is beating the Cote du Rhône at their own game. Bright acidity, sweet, lushly textured fruit and an unmistakable Languedoc garrigue wildness, the Château Sainte Eulalie bursts alive with vibrancy and sheer gluggable delight. A majority Syrah blend with old vine (nearly 100 years) Carignan and just a wee drop of Grenache (75 year old), this is an instant classic for...Get more details -
Reserve List“Readers seeking to understand how magical Nebbiolo can be in the northern reaches of Piedmont should start here,” gushed Antonio Galloni in his glowing 2010 review of Proprietà Sperino’s Lessona. Indeed, for many Sperino’s Lessona will serve as a breakthrough moment for the largely neglected Northern Piedmont appellation. Vivid wild red fruits and subtle flourishes of flowers make a strong first impression, yet it is the seemingly endless elegance from its body that will compel many to helplessly come back and explore again and again. Depth and purity are the unquestionable hallmarks here and...Get more details -
Daily FlashOn Wednesday, April 4th we were lucky to host dear friend and German grower importer Stephen Bitterolf of vom Boden for a deeply illuminating exploration of his portfolio. If you have been following the German program here, you already know the vom Boden’s portfolio is one of our favorites. Chock full with an All-Star lineup of tiny but stellar growers from some of the best appellations in Germany, this is a portfolio that commands respect from anyone serious about fine German wine. Stephen showed us the full spectrum, beginning with casual (but insane) values to one of the rarest wines on...Get more details -

With clear inspirations from Chablis (White Hill) and the Côte de Beaune (Golden Slope, Four), the chardonnays have become...

Burgundy list“Elegant, fresh, energetic and super-transparent to the underlying terroir”: 2016 Joseph Drouhin Drouhin, alongside Jadot, Bouchard P&F, and Faiveley, represents the pinnacle of production quality at the négociant end of the spectrum. This is largely because all of these négociants own a significant number of the vineyards they produce. All of them, in many ways, should be thought of as very large Domaines, rather than négociants. In fact, when you begin to look at the numbers, often one or two cuvées skews our perception of their status. For example, Drouhin produces about 3 million bottles a year. Almost 1.5 million...Get more details -
Daily FlashBeaujolais phenom Antoine Sunier (not to be mistaken for his older brother, another prodigious talent, Julien Sunier) has just released his 2016 Beaujolais and, big surprise, they are damn delicious. And not to mention, impressive. Antoine’s debut vintage was only in 2014, yet his craftsmanship and sensitivity are way, way, ahead of the curve. Inspired by the Gang of Four (Foillard, Lapierre, Thevenet and Breton), Antoine’s wines are deep, vibrant, soil-driven impressions that are somehow also dangerously drinkable. In sum, classic Beaujolais!Get more details -
Daily FlashThe 2016 Sharecropper’s Pinot Noir does not waste any time trying to impress. Nor does it need to. Owen Roe’s second label Sharecropper’s series has always been a reliable (and reliably priced) weeknight bottle of wine. The 2016 is the best it has been in years and you’ll quickly understand why it has ascended to become a top contender for our best value domestic Pinot. Don’t miss this masterclass on gorgeous, vibrant Willamette fruit reaching new heights with the outstanding 2016 Oregon vintage.Get more details -
Daily FlashAgrapart is one of those grower Champagne houses that has captured the imaginations of serious fizzhounds throughout the wine world. Alongside a small handful of contemporaries, such as Jérôme Prévost and Cédric Bouchard, Agrapart’s are among the most desired Champagnes in the world these days. 3-star somms in New York and Paris fight for 3 bottles of this or that, and those in the know clamor for a 6-pack here or there. With only 5000-6000 cases produced a year, you will understand that the fighting gets a little intense at times and the wines are rarely seen.Get more details -
Daily FlashLook, the hyperbole’s not mine this time. Blame Levi Dalton, of the wildly popular and excellently done podcast I’ll Drink to That! I was fortunate enough to attend a vertical tasting of Christiana Toberio’s Pecorino spanning 7 vintages, from 2016 to 2005. Assisting Levi was Christiana herself and Ian d’Agata, the Vinous critic and the man who wrote the book on native Italian grapes. Literally. You can check it out here; it’s exceptional.Get more details -
Reserve ListCalifornia wines have always held a special place in my heart, familiar and comfortable, yet capable of sparking a sense of adventure and excitement. I am constantly reminded of this sense of familiarity and adventure whenever I have a glass of anything from Stonestreet Estate Vineyards. It’s always astonishing to me how much amazing value this estate offers, routinely offering top-class wines that punch well above their weight. Across the board, the wines from Stonestreet possess an elegance and restraint reminiscent of some of California’s most elite wineries, at a fraction of the...Get more details -
Burgundy listMy love for Bitouzet-Prieur is well known. Classical is the catch word at the Domaine. Whether you’re dealing with Meursault or Volnay, a bottle with Bitouzet-Prieur on the label ensures that the experience will be classique. The Meursaults are tense and mineral, with an oily richness, while the Volnays bound with floral notes, Volnay’s hallmark medicinal minerality and a sultry sophistication.Get more details -
Daily FlashDomaine Peggy & Jean Pascal Buronfosse Côtes du Jura “Varron" (Chardonnay) – a powerfully flavored, addictively sensual wine with a strong limestone shaped acid backbone and a characteristically Jurassien density and richness – offers a lot for relatively short money. If you like body in your wine and a unique sense of texture, this wine is a sure bet.Get more details -
Burgundy listGet more detailsThese are, as many of you know, among my absolute favorite Burgundies. The story here is nothing new, but something we seem to take for granted. Elegance, freshness, depth and terroir - all the buzzwords you see in every Burgundy offer - are not qualities which any Domaine produces in equilibrium or in every vintage. And yet, there are Domaines which seem to do so, and somehow remain out of the discussion when it comes to “elite” status.

Daily FlashWith flavors that feel refreshingly faraway, Domaine Maestracci’s E Prove Blanc is a wine that expresses (and charms) through a language we don’t completely understand. That’s the magic of Maestracci. Remember that time abroad when became enchanted with someone who didn’t speak a lick of English? When you weren’t frustrated by the language barrier but enchanted by it? Maestracci brings that to us. You’ll find yourself in private guessing games isolating and detecting flowers, herbs, fleshy fruit...Get more details -
Reserve ListThis will be brief. 2013 is an epic year in Barolo. The kind of year you should load up on cases and cases of the stuff. Sure, drink some now and in the medium term, but buy enough that 20 years from now, on a snowy night you’ll trundle down the stairs and emerge with a 2013 that, by then, will be oozing with secondary and tertiary flavors, having mellowed into the joyous and exultant wines the young examples show all the promise of becoming.Get more details -
Daily FlashNo, this Domaine does not have the history or legacy of a name like Huët or Philippe Foreau, but I’d venture to say that the white wines produced here are the greatest produced in all of the Loire, and among the greatest wines produced not only in France, but the world. The son of one of the Clos Rougeard brothers (Chrly’s son Antoine) has created a white wine analogue to his father’s monumental achievement with the reds. They possess every attribute you would want in a world-class wine: length, power...Get more details -
Reserve ListThere are no wines on earth like those from the legendary Emidio Pepe. Period. End of story. Earthy, bright, deep, pure—these are unquestionable treasures and truly some of Italy’s greatest wines. Since 1964, “Mister Montepulciano” has spearheaded a singular vision of Montepulciano, one that emphasizes an uncompromising, nearly extreme artisanal handmade craft and in turn has produced some of the most age worthy wines in the entire country. Once regarded as crazy, Mr.Pepe’s bottles are now rightfully considered timeless masterpieces, quickly snatched by collectors everywhere.Get more details -

Daily FlashThis is the one wine that I’ve been asked if we could get more than any other over the past few months. The answer to the question has always been ‘it’s coming’... Today, I’m thrilled to say it’s here. The short story is that this could be (and is according to the Perrin family) the finest Château de Beaucastel they’ve ever made. More on that below, but whether or not you are a regular buyer of Châteauneuf- take it from me, this is a wine that you are going to want to own.Get more details
