Reserve ListThis morning brings another new headline stirring Zapata release, this time Argentina’s crown jewel has earned (yet again) tremendous critical acclaim – including an outstanding 100 point review. With increased attention to single vineyard high altitude terroir, “place” has come front and center at Catena, and, as a result, the estate’s wines connect majesty and power with increasingly intimate scope and scale. While you can say this isn’t exactly a new recipe for Catena Zapata, one can argue they are getting better and better at it. The wines, with each new release, are showing more and more individual...Get more details -
Daily FlashSo, what makes this wine so special? Antoine Foucault is the son of the late Charly Foucault of the famed Foucault brothers behind Clos Rougeard. Antoine cut his teeth at the legendary Loire estate and you can tell– the wines are unbelievable. Vividly powerful with pure mineral and succulent fruit, Charpentrie astounds with its detail, precision and body. No one in America except for a handful are able to taste Rougeard (RIP). Yet hiding here in plain sight is one of the truly great wines of France. Complex and powerful without lacking nuance and detail, Domaine du Collier’s wines are utterly mesmerizing with their...Get more details -
Burgundy listMuch like Chablis, there is an argument about who’s next. Yes, there are superstars in the appellation. Wines that are nigh impossible to source, and when you do, the tariff is, frankly, intolerable for the average human. Even American upper middle class human. The question then becomes: where can one find the Lafon or Roulot level of quality without paying Roulot or Lafon like prices. In Chablis, I like Pinson for a Raveneau or Duavissat like experience; in Meursault, it is Jobard. Antoine Jobard. Antoine took over from his father Francois in 2007. He had been involved in the day to day operations for...Get more details -
Bordeaux ListChâteau Gloria is one of the hidden gems of Bordeaux. Located right in the heart of St Julien, there is frankly no way that it wouldn’t be a classified growth if not for the fact that it didn’t exist at the time Bordeaux’s classification was made. More on that below, but the end result is that their spectacular 2010, at nearly a decade old and with all sorts of praise and points thrown at it from all directions, is way cheaper than it should be. Even accounting for Gloria’s usual excellence and value, this is punching above its weight. Three tasting notes below from Messrs Parker and Martin below from three different...Get more details -
Daily FlashBe it the freshly cut flowers or sweet cherries and spices, its silky open knit texture or its excellent focus, Monte Bernardi’s one-liter bottle of “Italia Ti Amo” is an open love letter to Italian wine. And no, we don’t mean one particular appellation, but every appellation. The author of this love letter is a winemaker named Michael Schmelzer, an ex-pat from Michigan who has wrangled fruit from all over Italy (Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera, Canaiolo, Frappato, Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese, and Montepulciano) and crafted a remarkable little table wine worth its weight in gold. First, all the fruit Mr. Schmelzer has...Get more details -
Daily FlashEvery year pickers come from all over Europe volunteer for the Cotat harvest. If you were lucky enough to join either cousin, two things would jump out at you: The first is the profound dizzying steepness of their vineyards (all considered the best in Sancerre and Chavignol). The second is the crazy number of seat cushions and ropes scattered around the vineyards. It is a picking system only the Cotats could have drummed up. One is to slide down outrageously steep plots with a cushion tied to your rear while desperately holding onto a bucket in front of you. Colorful, a bit outrageous, but also rooted...Get more details -
Burgundy listJeanne-Marie de Champs visited us again on Tuesday night. A stalwart of the Burgundy trade, she has been both ambassador and guide to generations of Burgundy buyers, working with elite (Méo-Camuzet, Clos de Tart, et al.) and humble Domaines alike, her view of Burgundy is all-encompassing, catholic and broad in its purview. As such, she has often been the champion of small Domaines that offer tremendous value, or deserve better attention. On Tuesday night she featured two such Domaine that remain...Get more details -
Daily FlashLópez de Heredia has remained a steadfast symbol of classical winemaking and traditional Riojan style since such a thing ever existed. Very little has changed here since the winery’s foundation in the 130 plus years ago. The estate still employs the original oak vats they used from the very beginning. Perhaps even more revealing (and risky) is that Heredia does not do any temperature manipulation during fermentation, something very few in the world ever risk to do. They use old school egg-whites for...Get more details -
Reserve ListNothing crazy going on here, just a whopping 45% discount on a tasty single vineyard Pinot from Oregon’s beloved Raptor Ridge. Usually priced at $45, this little gem is yours for only $25. Revealing gorgeous earthy tones with dark forest fruits, the 2011 Meredith Mitchell hums with everything we crave in aged Pinot: velvety texture, supple tannin and layers upon layers of complex tertiary flavors and tones. While 2011 in Oregon was originally panned by the critics for having a closed off austere youth, with time the wines have blossomed into being one of the most beloved in ages showing off excellent freshness...Get more details -
Daily FlashFrom last year’s offer: Graillot founded his own Domaine only in in 1985, and started making some pretty serious waves around 1990 when Robert Parker compared his Crozes to most producers Hermitage. By now the secret is well and truly out, but the comparison still holds true. Wonderfully the prices are still incredibly good too given the adulation the wines have received, and the only problem is getting hold of them. Today we have them in both 750ml and magnum format. These are wines of remarkable depth and structure- far more serious than one would expect from a typical Crozes. Complex...Get more details

Get more detailsJoin us for a can’t miss evening of fantastic German Riesling with von Winning’s Andreas Hütwohl, Spreitzer’s Andy Spreitzer and Selbach-Oster’s Johannes Selebach. This is a rare opportunity to learn about three of Germany’s top winemaking regions; the Pfalz, Rheingau, and Mosel Valley from some of Germany’s best wine ambassadors. Taste over 10 rieslings including Kabinett, Spatlese, Auslese and even some Gross Gewachs!
About von Winning:
Located in the village Deidesheim, the von Winning estate looks back on 160 years of winemaking history. Formerly called the Dr. Deinhard Estate, the winery was purchased in 2007 by Achim Niederberger, a businessman interested in reestablishing the quality and reputation of the Pfalz. Dr. Deinhard was renamed von Winning after Leopold von Winning, founding member and first president in the Pfalz of the 1910 VDN, the association of quality minded wine producers committed to not chaptalizing their wines. Today, the von Winning estate is synonymous with crafting some of the very best dry wines in Germany.About Spreitzer:
The Spreitzer estate, founded in 1641 and one of the oldest in the Rheingau, benefits from a long tradition in winemaking as well as the recent modern winemaking innovations of sons Andreas and Bernd Spreitzer who have controlled the estate since 1997. Today the Spreitzer family cultivates around 24 hectares to nearly 95% Riesling. No other winegrowing region in the world has such a high concentration of a single grape variety as the Rheingau.About Selbach-Oster:
Today, Johannes Selbach and his wife Barbara, with the increasing help of son Sebastian, manage their vineyards and winery with passion and respect for the estate’s long held traditions. The Selbach family’s heritage in the wine business dates to 1660: Selbach’s ancestors shipped wines down the Mosel in their own ships, the wine carried in oak barrels made by cooper Matthias Oster, the great-grandfather on the paternal side of the family. Thus, the winery developed as both a top estate producing some of the region’s best wine, and also as a négociant and brokerage firm, consolidating the production of smaller growers.Flight 1: Andreas Hütwohl of von Winning

Get more detailsGordon’s Whisk(e)y Team is launching our 2020 Single Barrel Program with the release of two new scotch casks. We are excited to be the very first US Retailer to purchase barrels from Glen Scotia and Loch Lomond Distilleries - two small, under the radar brands that everyone should be drinking in 2020.
Back in July of 2019, Ken Gordon was invited by the Loch Lomond Group (which also owns Glen Scotia and Littlemill) to visit the Loch Lomond distillery and to pick single casks with Master Distiller, Michael Henry.
Kick off a week of Loch Lomond & Glen Scotia Whisky events with an in depth masterclass led by Loch Lomond Group VP of Sales, Forbes McMullin featuring six Glen Scotia and Loch Lomond expressions.
Featuring:
Glen Scotia Gordons Single Cask

About Glen Scotia:
Glen Scotia was originally founded in 1832 in what used to be the distilling capital of the world, Campbeltown. Like most distilleries in Scotland, they have seen much growth and decline over the history of their production. As one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland, Glen Scotia had to differentiate itself in a big way by focusing on longer fermentation and vatting of the malted barley, as well as a slower and more careful distillation.
About Loch Lomond:
Just north of Campbeltown in the Highlands of Scotland, Loch Lomond had a similar history over the years of growth and decline. Officially resuming production in 1987, Loch Lomond is the only distiller that produces single grain and malted whiskies. They are also one of the few distilleries that operate their own malting floor and onsite cooperage. Their whiskies can vary from single grain, single malt, peated, or unpeated. Loch Lomond's 3 unique Pot Stills give set them apart when it comes to distilling a wide variety of whiskies. Each still includes special distillation trays in the necks, allowing for greater contact with the cooling alcohol vapor producing alcohol up to 90% ABV where normal stills deliver at around 70% ABV. This style of still allows for more complex flavor notes to be captured and emphasized.
