My wife's favorite Chardonnay is Kistler. I mean, I love Kistler. 

But Kistler is like $70 per bottle...and that's not exactly in my "everyday" price point.

Good news though is that she believes that Maison Belliac Chardonnay tastes EXACTLY like Kistler...and Maison Belliac is right in my price wheelhouse!

So can a Chardonnay we have on sale this Thanksgiving for $9.99 taste just like an $70 bottle of Kistler Chardonnay?

The answer is - maybe?

My answer to that question previously was always no, but honestly this wine is really really close. So close that many people you pour this for will think you probably spent $50+ on the wine (we gotta keep the family on their toes!)

One thing everyone seems to agree on though is that this wine, on sale for $9.99, is on a whole other level of value.

So serve it to your friends and family this Thanksgiving. They're gonna think you are taking such good care of them serving nice wine like this...and, you are taking great care of them. You just don't have to break the bank while doing it!

While I'm gonna buy a few for next week....and I may just pour some for my wife this evening and tell her its Kistler 😁

The one brand that feels like it's taking off is Dosoris Lane. It's easily been the most hyped release of 2024, and the people at The Good Wine Co. (good thing they make good wine 😂) have a track record that is unmatched.

When they told us they were developing a project where they were going to try and stretch the boundaries of high quality and low prices - we got super pumped up. That literally is what we spend most of our time trying to do! Find unbelievable wines at unbelievable prices.

The result of those efforts is Dosoris Lane - and they brought the absolute thunder for our Thanksgiving Sale, allowing us to bring to you for $9.99 per bottle.

Hear me out real quick.

I challenge you to find something else that delivers like this at $9.99 per bottle. Not only is it an excellent option to QB your entire wine lineup on Thanksgiving Day - it also can serve as the bottle Uncle Leo wants to open up at 10pm so he can have a "night cap". You guys know how these things go!

Think black pepper notes from a little Syrah. Then black fruits in the middle from a little bit of Cabernet; then red fruits and white pepper hints from some Grenache. Put it all together and you have some epic red wine from the sunny south of France, with expansive and bright flavors.

Chances of me drinking Dosoris Red on Turkey Day? 100%

Chances I run out this weekend and need to buy more? Easy 50/50 😂

Let's do this!

🦃 Thanksgiving Wine Sale - Nobody is offering value like this! 🦃

Thanksgiving Wine Deals!!

SALE runs Monday November 18th - Sunday November 24th, 2024

*Curbside Pickup Always Available*

*All wines posted at the lowest online price in the US!*

Is it really almost Thanksgiving?! I feel summer was like last week, am I right?

Either way, it means it is time for our annual Thanksgiving Wine Sale!

I'll go on record for this one. You will not find a better selection of oustanding value anywhere in NC, and I'd put these offerings and prices up against anything being offered in the United States right now.

In a world where we already work hard to guarantee you the absolute lowest prices, we are pulling out all the stops!! Inflation has no home here at winestore! I mean, several wines on here simply boggle the mind in terms of the quality to price ratio.

All prices are good through Sunday, November 24th! (no, they are not good on the 25th 😂)

It should also be noted that as always, there are going to be some insane "in store only" specials rolling.

Winery Price: $28.00
SALE PRICE: $16.98 (net) per bottle
SAVE 39%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

It's Sonoma Cutrer - what more do we really need to say? Oak, Vanilla, butter - all that you expect from a great California Chard and then a little extra thrown in for good measure...



2022 Benieres Pinot Noir
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Fresh and fruity Pinot Noir from the Pays d'Oc, a region warm enough and varied enough to allow even persnickety Pinot Noir to find its happy place.



2021 Chateau La Brede Blanc
Release Price: $50.00 
SALE Price: $22.99 (net)
SAVE 54%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

There was a time when Bordeaux Blanc was a joke. Then the 2000s happened and suddenly all the white wine from Bordeaux was delicious, they are better than ever. This blend of 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Sémillon and 20% Muscadelle is classic and still very modern and completely compelling. It’s been matured in new French oak so it’s not simple. Bring oysters to the party or even grilled fish.



2022 Pocapita Rioja
Release Price: $15.00
SALE Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 47%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Pocapita is a great example of how much the Rioja region has upped its game in the last decade. Like many of their wines of late, this 100% Tempranillo is rich, powerful, intense, heady and every bit a modern version of concentrated Rioja, but one that nevertheless still tastes like Rioja.



2021 Highland Falls Proprietary Red
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

"Mountain-grown, it’s the richest kind,” as coffee commercials used to say, but it’s also true of Cabernet. Foley Family's pedigree doesn’t hurt either: the guys who bring you Merus, Chalone and Chalk Hill Wines are behind the powerhouse Highland Falls lineup too.



2022 Bonnet Hill Cabernet
Release Price: $35.00+?
SALE Price: $14.99 (net)
SAVE 57%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Alexander Valley is distinct in its pure friendliness; the wines are genuinely enjoyable from day one, expansive of fruit and reliably supple throughout their lives. They winemaker here also has made most expensive (young wine) sold at auction. So however much you are paying for it, it’s still a bargain. Right?



2023 Prejuges Chardonnay
Release Price: $18.00
winestore. Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 44%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Cabardès has not always been a favored site but its intense limestone soils are beginning to consistently offer Burgundy-like nerve. It’s tasty wine, but maybe the best part of the story is that Cabardès is named for the 13th Century Lords of Cabaret – seriously. Picture Joel Grey or Alan Cumming astride white stallions, swords a-glinter in the sunlight, horses prancing. Okay, you just can’t un-see that image, can you? Drink this incredibly tasty number and try to forget we said this.



2020 Waccamaw Proprietary Red
Release Price: $25.00
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 48%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Put together a bunch of passionate kids (some with backgrounds selling wines for legends such as Eric Solomon and Martine Saunier) deeply immersed in the California biz and you can find some pretty tasty wines. That's what they did and that's what we have here.



2023 Larme en Rose
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

If you stick around the wine business long enough, you’ll have seen it all. Where once wine coolers were cooler than Liebfraumilch, now hard seltzer is hot (served cold). White Zin was once de rigeur, though it was never French; it was from the good ol’ US of A. But then that became too sweet and the category died. Or seemed to. Because then rosé rose up like a zombie eager for fresh meat, though the current iteration of the pink stuff is more often French than not. Provence is the epicenter of it and the French have figured out how we like it: dry, pale pink, light and refreshing.



2022 C'est Pas La Mer Picpoul
Release Price: $18.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 44%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Here’s what you should know about Picpoul de Pinet: it’s never bad; and only sometimes good. So there’s a lot to be said for grapes that never suck. About the time I decided I was no longer going to think about the Picpoul grape, I tasted this Picpoul de Pinet and it was utterly delicious.



2023 Dosoris Lane Blanc
Release Price: $15.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 33%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Sometimes you just have to embrace the mystery of wine; truth be told, we don’t know which grapes are in this wine. They wouldn’t tell us, but we didn’t care after we tasted it. Neither merely crisp or full and rich; the wine straddles a really nice place that is refreshing and patio-perfect, but that has some weight and character to handle rich fish or even grilled chicken.



2021 Cape Charles Cabernet
Release Price: $105.00
SALE Price: $24.99 (net)
SAVE 76%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

It’s tough for me to contain my excitement about this one. It is unanimous amongst our team - this is the single best under $25 wine (of any varietal) we have ever offered. It may be the best sub $50 Cabernet we have ever offered. Our long time partner, Baron Ziegler, brought it to us from one of the top Cabernet producers in the United States - but it's a name we cannot give you for all sorts of wine related legal reasons. The winery has been making wine since 1977. They’ve notched multiple 100 point scores. Some have opined that their 1978 Cabernet Sauvignon was one of the most important wines ever made in America. This particular lot, is the exact same wine the winery will be selling for $135.00. Your price is $24.99. That is correct. This is not a typo. $24.99.



2022 P/N Pinot Noir
Release Price: $25.00
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 48%
Lowest Online Price in the US!

Put together a bunch of passionate kids (some with backgrounds selling wines for legends such as Eric Solomon and Martine Saunier) deeply immersed in the California biz and you can find some pretty tasty wines. That's what they did and that's what we have here.



2022 Chateau Grand Billard Blanc
Release Price: $25.00
winestore. Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 68%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

If you ask any wine expert to name the value wines, they will likely reel off only a few dozen well-known names, and some of them count Grand Billard amongst them. It’s the basic Sauvignon Blanc blend, with mostly used barrels to keep the cost reasonable. This is from the critically raved about 2022 vintage so check out the wine to see what the fuss is all about.



2023 Rocoiseau Viognier
Release Price: $12.99
SALE Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 38%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

More than a half century ago Viognier was forgotten; near extinct. In the 1980s things blew up, with acreages quintupling. There were a few successes, but most just didn't do justice to the grape. Winegrowers eventually found the ideal conditions, while the Viogniers of the Rhone have become pricey and sought-after. Elevated spots in the Pays d’Oc are this wine’s source; to a great degree this is the grape’s frontier now.



2023 Willowlake Pinot Noir
Release Price: $39.99
SALE Price: $19.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Finally! A wine that rivals Belle Glos at a much friendlier price point. Pinot lovers unite!



2022 Cabane aux Oiseaux Sauvignon Blanc
Release Price: $15.00 
SALE Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 47%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

A Bordeaux group making wines since 1949, Producta Vignobles, blends this crisp, tangy white from throughout the Bordeaux region, but especially from under-appreciated places like Bergerac. From Sauvignon Blanc with a trace of Semillon, this is the kind of steely, refreshing white wine that comprises a small but significant portion of what has made the Bordeaux region the centerpiece of French wine production. Charming, like the little “birdhouse” enshrined in the name, drink this well-chilled and with rapidity.



2023 Kingstree Cabernet
Release Price: $25.00
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 48%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

This is a tasty little gem unearthed by the pros at Banshee Wines. Banshee, started by three guys who just happened to like wine and wanted an excuse to be out west, hasn't been around long but they sure have kicked off righteously during their short career. They’ve always been focused upon cooler climate sites, especially with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and at the prices they offer their wines, it’s no surprise that things have gone swimmingly well.



2023 Dosoris Lane Proprietary Red
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Maybe one of the most hyped up wines this year, Dosoris Lane is all about showing what type of crazy quality you can produce for under $15. Think black pepper notes from a little Syrah. The black fruits in the middle suggest a little bit of Cabernet; the red fruits and white pepper hint at Grenache. Put it all together and you have some epic red wine from the sunny south of France, with expansive and bright flavors.



2022 Darley Proprietary Red
Release Price: $45.00
SALE Price: $14.99 (net)
SAVE 67%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

We argue about vintages and that’s because we don’t all like the same style of wines. You may hate Napa Cabernet in 2011 because you think they're weak and insipid; I might find them elegant and sleek. You might champion Napa Cab 2013s; most people do. I might complain that some are too ripe. But 2020 is one of those vintages that makes fans of us all. Sonoma Cabernet in 2020 has richness but also balance. Check out Darley’s 2020 Knights Valley Cab and make your own mind up.



2022 Maison Belliac Chardonnay
Release Price: $25.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 60%+
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

When the French decided to build the Canal du Midi, they unsurprisingly chose a portion of the Pays d’Oc that is flatter and less mountainous than much of the regional landscape. The climate is different, needless to say, but not so very different from sunny California, and the wine has some of that same buttery character that West Coast Chardonnay exemplifies.



2021 Brooks Bank Cabernet Sauvignon
Release Price: $39.99
SALE Price: $17.99 (net) per bottle
SAVE 55%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

This 100% Cabernet is full of dark berry flavors to offset its tough guy tannins. This is BIG wine for little money. It’s basically the wine equivalent to Patrick Swayze in “Roadhouse.” Best movie EVER.



2022 Maison de Rue 37 Rasteau
Release Price: $30.00
SALE Price: $14.99 (net) per bottle
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Aside from sounding like Dustin Hoffman’s character in Midnight Cowboy, Rasteau is one of the genuine values in red wine. More or less baby Chateauneuf, Rasteau these days mimics the blend that has evolved in Chateauneuf-du-Pape and now extends to other critical areas of the Southern Rhone: 70% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 5% other (in this case, Cinsault). It reflects a perceived truism of wine: if you want to create complexity in warm climates, you need additional grapes. It helps that these vines are between 30 and 50 years old, facing a most helpful southeast towards the famed Dentelles de Montmirail (the “teeth of Montmirail”, don’t you know), so they pick up all the morning sun and avoid the harsh sunlight of the late afternoon.

You may remember our newsletter about the En Numerous Vermells "Classic" from last week. We told you about Silvia Puig and about the amazing wine she is producing in Priorat.

Without rehashing all of the details, this is a tiny project started by Silvia Puig in her garage in one of the villages of Priorat, the site of Spain’s most intense wines. She was consulting for some of the more important wineries, like Clos Figueras, and wanted to make wine in “limited quantities so that the artisan element is valued.” En Números Vermells' wines remain handcrafted, with the Aiaiai wine being blended from Garnacha, Cariñena and Syrah.

All I can tell you is that if you are even remotely into wines from this area, this stuff is worth a look...and this happens to be the lowest price this wine has ever been offered for in the United States. The only price I could currently find online was a magnum of the 2019 vintage someone is selling for $106 (HERE). That's the equivalent of $53 per bottle!!
 
Don't let anyone ever tell you that you have to pay more for artisanal, hand made wines. Case in point is this right here. Hand picked grapes, hand sorted, hand crafted wine and the result is a dreamy red wine for less than $20.

Pro tip? These wines pair really well with cranberry sauce. My favorite kind is the Ocean Spray that comes from the the can (which is certainly not artisanal 😂) but the first taste transports you directly to your childhood. You know what I'm talking about.

$19.99. First come, first served.

Let's do this!

After an epic launch of our 12 Nights of Wine Holiday Box last year, we are back with a new edition in 2024 - and we're pulling out all the stops.

Our goal here is to stretch the realm of what you think is possible when it comes to quality and price, all the while trying to have a little fun.

We're doing 12 bottles of delicious winestore wine - and you'll get the whole box (and the chance at a $1,000 gift card) for $99.99.

It's a collection of best sellers packed into an advent calendar style box to make your holidays even more merry and bright! Each night you can enjoy being surprised with a new bottle. With a mix of both reds and whites, this holiday box is perfect for any wine drinker. 

Much like last year, we are going all Willy Wonka on this thing as well and placing 9 Golden Tickets (one for each store) in the boxes, and those Golden Tickets are redeemable for a $1,000 winestore. gift card.

You read that correctly. Worst case scenario you get 12 delicious bottles of wine at the lowest price in the US (and an extra discount from our already low price) - best case scenario is you get $1,000 shopping spree for any wines you want, plus 12 delicious bottles!

Is this the perfect holiday gift? I mean it may just be. I've already given 4 away to friends and family and they have been a huge hit.

Might be feeling a little bit like Charlie this holiday season!!

🦃 Our #2 selling Chardonnay - On SALE Through Thanksgiving!

2023 Kingstree Santa Barbara Chardonnay

Release Price: $25.00
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)

Lowest Online Price in the US!

*Curbside Pickup Always Available!*

Reminder we are open at 9am Thursday, Friday & Saturday!

Every year around the holidays we ask our suppliers who wants to step up and make some waves? This year, it was Kingstree Wines.

They've put pricing in place to allow us to sell our #2 Chardonnay by volume for $12.99 all the way up until Thanksgiving!

Kingstree is kind of a sneaky #2. Last time we even featured it in a newsletter was when the new vintage arrived almost 6 months ago - yet the wine just continues on cruise control.

California winemaking master Rob Fischer is no stranger to epic high end wine. His track record includes stints at Cuvaison, Beaulieu Vineyards, Etude, Lyric, and several others. The dude knows what he's doing.

But while he can churn out the expensive stuff, his passion is providing unbelievable value for the money. We've seen it in his value projects like Valravn (have you had their Pinot Noir?!?!?!?), Averaen, and Marine Layer.

With the Kingstree Chardonnay, I think you'll get what we are talking about. It is BIG, lush Chardonnay that competes on the table with some competition churning out wines at more than 2x the price. 100% of the Chardonnay fruit in this gem comes from Santa Barbara, and at $12.99 per bottle, it's a dream.

So let's get to it, shall we!?

TGIF everyone!

The fastest sellout of 2023, and again this spring, was En Numerous Vermells. So much so this is the first e-mail newsletter we have ever been able to feature it in!

When Silvia Puig started this project, dubbed En Números Vermells, it was to satisfy her creative side, and to give her a chance to draw from some of the smaller scale vineyards that her father had once helped manage, and for which she remained close to the vineyard managers. But it was, and is, a diminutive project so she gave it a name that essentially means, “in the red”, since she knew she would never make money at it. That’s why she consults with other, perhaps better known, producers in Spain’s preeminent Priorat region: she can pay the bills, and focus upon this lovely, handmade wine, comprised of Garnacha Peluda (a rare variety) along with Syrah and Cariñena.

I actually found the write up from Chain Bridge Cellars (the retailer with the price above), worth a read:

"1,453 bottles (121 cases) made.  We’ve sold every commercial release of this wine, starting with the 2011 which remains my personal benchmark for the greatest young red wine I’ve ever tasted. Until now. Somehow, Silvia has taken the wild, intense, borderline out of control, essence of Priorat and given it just enough polish and finesse and style to vault it upwards into the ranks of just plain great wines of the whole world.  While still remaining unmistakably Priorat. If you’ve bought this wine in the past, you’re nuts if you don’t buy more this year. If you’ve never tried it, please don’t miss the chance to be wowed."

All I will tell you is I echo some of the sentiments here...this is some special stuff.

What is even more special, is that we can actually now bring it to you for less than $40 per bottle! This is the first time this wine has ever been available in the United States at this price!

I mean, there is someone out there right now trying to sell the 2018 vintage of this same wine for $105!! (HERE)

With all the chaos of the election, there is one thing that you can know is safe and secure. And that is here at winestore., you can always count on guaranteed low prices on absolutely stunning wines.

I know what I'm drinking tonight!

🔥 The Best Selling White & Red of 2024 - ON SALE for $9.99

11.05.2024

Our Two Best Selling Wines - ON SALE!

2022 Snowvale Cabernet
Release Price: $20.00 
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)

For the third year in a row, we are going to take our two best selling wines year to date, and put them on sale this week.

This seems like an especially good year to do this, as I think some people may need some wine for tonight? And tomorrow? 😁

The two wines? Not only are they the same two wines as last year, the wines continue to make waves. 

Coming off already crazy numbers, Snowvale Cabernet sales are up a wild 18% and Benières Chardonnay? Up 36% YTD 👀

You guys know good wine when you taste it!

In a world where every single day a vendor tells us prices are going up because "their prices are going up and we have to do it", the ability to bring you these two wines for only $9.99 per bottle is what gets us excited. We've said it before and I'll say it again; At no time in our 18 year history has the selection of extremely high quality, yet affordable wine, been higher.

So let's toast to all things that are awesome and inexpensive, am I right?

6 days only - lets gooooooo!

🤯 Total Wine $16.99 - winestore. $12.97!

10.30.2024

2021 Meiomi Chardonnay

Total Wine Price: $16.99 USD (HERE)*
winestore. Price: $12.97 (net)
SAVE 24%



Reminder we open at 9am Thursday - Saturday
 

Meiomi Chardonnay for $12.97 per bottle? But of course!

Back in 2015, Joe Wagner, whose father owns Caymus and who had been instrumental in developing new brands for the Wagner family (like Meiomi), sold the brand to Constellation Brands for $315 million in 2015. Let that sink in for a second.

Constellation, one of the largest beer, wine and spirits companies in the world (oh, yeah, they have massive cannabis holdings in Canada too) bought only the brand for crazy money; no vineyards, no winery, nothing but some wine with labels on it. Now, what does that say about Meiomi and its style of wine? Somebody bet really, really, really big on it and, so far, the bet has worked out. Unlike their cannabis project in Canada. 😂
 
So we're just going to leave that price right up there for you, and keep it short and sweet today 😂

Happy Wednesday everybody! Let's get to it!

SALE runs Wednesday October 23rd - Sunday October 27th, 2024

Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Reminder we open at 9am Thursday - Saturday

This will be one of the top wine deals you will see this year...and getting a deal like this is why we love doing what we do!!

Can we bring you a wine that drinks exactly like Sancerre, without the Sancerre price, at the lowest price ever offered in the US?

The answer is...yes!

In our constant quest to bring you the best possible wines at the lowest possible prices, today we have for you a real treat - 2023 Domaine L'Ermitage Menetou-Salon Première Cuvée.

Without sounding like hyperbole is the theme of the day, at $14.99 per bottle this could possibly rank as one of the best quality to price ratio wines that you will ever try. That is not an exaggeration.

The places selling this for $30? The wine for sure competes at that price...but at $15? Think the 1992 Dream Team type domination...

Domaine de L'Ermitage is a fairly new estate, founded by the daughter of one of the most influential figures in the region, Bernard Clement. Laurence de la Farge, and her husband, Geraud, built on Clement’s legacy; today their children, Antoine and Sophie, run this large and successful domaine. Their vineyard extends over 1300 acres (which in this region and industry has some wow factor), and the wines are very traditional and terroir-driven.

As for this wine in particular?

Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, once ubiquitous on shelves and wine lists, are getting hard to find today. Smart buyers are looking at the AOCs next door, like Menetou-Salon, just a few miles west of those two better known Sauvignon Blanc vineyards. And just like those places, the soils are a mix of Kimmeridgian limestone and the even more famed soil, silex. Silex deserves its fame; it provides tension and complexity to the aromatic Sauvignon Blanc grape.

Think crisp, dry, and uber refreshing.

So if Sancerre is your thing, or Sauvignon Blanc, or honestly just great white wine - this is a do not miss!

I'm taking home a case...I can't help myself 😂

2022 Colline du Bonnet

Release Price: $25.00 
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 60%



SALE ends tomorrow Sunday October 20th, 2024

How we all can help Asheville and WNC: HERE

Reminder we open at 9am Thursday - Saturday

So this sale has only been going on since Wednesday and you guys have bought in just 3 days the same amount of wine you had bought year to date up until Wednesday - so I think you all may enjoy this one as much as we do!! (or you're like me and if you can find awesome wine for less than $10 you buy with abandon)...

As we told you earlier in the week, there is no question this is one of the best red wines in the entire store. 

This wine has been $9.99 only one other time before - and you all bought over 100 cases in just 4 days 👀

The first time I tasted this 100% Grenache from Colline du Bonnet I thought it tasted like a dead ringer for one of my favorite wines of all time, Alban Grenache. I'm not kidding, not even a little bit, and just for price comparison Alban Grenache, any vintage, lowest price in the US right now is $89 per bottle 👀

So how does a wine like this get made?

For most wine people, Languedoc-Roussillon is still a monolithic expanse of undifferentiated vineyards – but, as in that cartoon with the two babies peering into their diapers, “there is a difference!” Some areas see more sea influence than mountain influence; some sites are windier, and some are decidedly hotter. Colline’s Grenache vines are baked in the sun around the town of Cébazon in eastern Languedoc, and still enjoy enough of the Mediterranean breezes to retain some acidity. The winemaking is more traditional than modern (cold soaking the grapes for two days is still new thinking) but otherwise the grapes stay on the skins in vats for at least a month; then see long aging in cement cubes. It's old school winemaking that produces extreme value results.

Two days left! Let's do this!

😍 End of Season Rosé Blowout...Lowest US Prices? Of course...

10.15.2024

End of Season Rosé Blowout

SALE Runs Tuesday October 15th - Sunday October 20th, 2024

How we all can help Asheville and WNC: HERE

Reminder we open at 9am Thursday - Saturday

*Limited Supply at these Prices*

All wines $9.99 and under!

It's that time of year! You know, when it finally cools down from summer, and that first time you have to put the sweater on to leave the house (it kinda reminds me of the opening line of this song for some reason...also how good is that song)

At this point though, cold weather doesn't slow down rosé. Rosé has basically become a year round sensation, but that doesn't stop our suppliers from being scared to have the product over the winter months. It's like they don't even know rosé is the ultimate Thanksgiving pairing!

Hey - their loss is your / our gain, as we took advantage of some end of season distributor closeouts and have, of course, passed the savings on to you guys. It's just how we roll. Oh - we're also bringing these to you at the lowest online prices in the United States :)

You might need some wine for trick or treating, or for the upcoming Holidays, or just because...and rosé always seems like a good option to me!

One thing I know for certain. You will not find a better lineup of rosé at these prices anywhere in the United States. 


2023 Balcon Sur La Mer Rosé
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Balcon delivers everything you want in a great rosé in spades. This unctuous pink wine is dry, stony, fruity, lengthy. Comprised of Grenache, Grenache Gris and Mourvedre, there’s a lot more here than many a rosé that you’ve tasted before.



2023 La Culottée Rosé
Release Price: $18.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 45%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

This 100% Caladoc wine is barrel-fermented, though it is still recognizably rosé in style. Needless to say, barrel-fermented rosé is anomalous anywhere, much less in southern France. The barrels are over-sized, and the wine has no added sulfur or added yeast. Dry, clean and rather full for a rosé, you can nonetheless drink it chilly on a sunny day, just like you would the rest of the rosés you’re slamming this summer.



2023 SWIMBAD Rosé
Release Price: $15.00
winestore. Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 40%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Rosé is the tipple of the tempting whether we are in Touraine, Tempe, Tuscaloosa, Tuscany or Saint-Tropez. Provence, the archetypal French vacationland, is the poster child for what modern rosé ought to be. Pale, quenching, lip-smacking.



2023 Larme en Rose
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

If you stick around the wine business long enough, you’ll have seen it all. Where once wine coolers were cooler than Liebfraumilch, now hard seltzer is hot (served cold). White Zin was once de rigeur, though it was never French; it was from the good ol’ US of A. But then that became too sweet and the category died. Or seemed to. Because then rosé rose up like a zombie eager for fresh meat, though the current iteration of the pink stuff is more often French than not. Provence is the epicenter of it and the French have figured out how we like it: dry, pale pink, light and refreshing.



2023 Rosabelle Rosé
Release Price: $18.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 45%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

For rosé it doesn't matter as much what grapes you use, just the process. Though they need to be picked early and when they’re still tangy and tart. For Rosabelle that means Grenache and Cinsault. These days a paler style of rosé prevails, set by Provençal producers and Rosabelle is cut from that cloth.



2023 Villa Gaubert Rosé
Release Price: $18.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 44%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

It’s rosé season because it’s warm and getting warmer and rosés are cold and citrusy and tangy and refreshing and, well, once they’re properly cold, they’re delicious. Did I mention that they need to be cold? Dominique Haverlan bought the old Château Gaubert in Portets in 1988, which was then in ruins. He made it into something important, but he didn’t’ forget to make wine that you will want to drink at a reasonable velocity. That’s what rosé is.



2023 Lou Pichoun Rosé
Release Price: $18.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 45%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Along France’s border with Italy, between the Mediterranean coast and the continental region of Savoie, the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence is traversed by the Durance river. Vineyards are mostly found on the valley hills for maximum sunlight exposure. So the days are Mediterranean warm but the high altitude and the presence of the mountains makes for much cooler nights as air from the Alps descends into the vineyards.

These conditions make for delicious rosé. While this has the look and feel of Provençal rosé, it's a bit lighter and airier. And in case you wondered who Lou Pichoun is, that’s Provençal slang for the youngest, as in, the most favored child.

Shock Winner of the Caymus Blind Tasting...🤯

10.09.2024

2022 Highland Falls Proprietary Red

Release Price: $20.00 
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%



Dunwoody, GA Store Opening SALE: HERE

How we all can help Asheville and WNC: HERE

Reminder we open at 9am Thursday - Saturday

SALE ends Friday October 11th, 2024

I did not have Highland Falls winning the Caymus Blind Tasting on my bingo card, but that is why blind tastings are so much fun - anything can happen.

It doesn't hurt that the new vintage from this long time favorite is absolutely lights out - which has helped propel it to become the most affordable winner of this tasting...ever!

I get it why people love it so much and why it did so well. 

It was our 2020 Wine of the Year. It sold more bottles than any other wine in 2021, and the momentum seems to only be picking up speed... (so much so the winery was out of stock for 4 months in 2022 and 3 months in 2023).

It holds the store record for most bottles ever sold over a 5 day period.

The list goes on and on.

On sale for $9.99 it is at the top of any value list for me.

What's up with the wine?

"Mountain-grown, it’s the richest kind,” as coffee commercials used to say, but it’s also true of Cabernet. You rarely, if ever, can find mountain fruit in $12 wines. Like, I can't even think of one off the top of my head.

Foley Family's winemaking pedigree being involved doesn’t hurt either: the guys who bring you Merus, Chalone, Sebastiani and Chalk Hill Wines are behind the powerhouse Highland Falls lineup too.

It's kinda like if the people behind Dom Perignon launched a $12 sparkler - or the winemaking team behind Rombauer rolled out a $12 Cali Chardonnay.....these are the best of the best in the Cabernet world, bringing you world class value.

Thank you to everyone who came out and voted.

Highland on SALE through Friday! 

Let's do this!

Taste 2022 Caymus Cabernet Blind vs. $25 Rivals! 😍

10.03.2024

Taste Caymus Cabernet Blind!

Saturday October 5th, 2024
9am-8pm 
All Day Long!!

 
Featuring 2022 Caymus Cabernet!
winestore. Price: $67.99 per bottle

Our blind tasting schedule resumed last fall and they have been on a roll ever since. These events are by far my favorite tastings!!

And this Saturday...??? It may be our most popular of them all!

Caymus Cabernet is one of the hottest selling wines in any given year, but if we placed it in a lineup with less expensive offerings - could you pick it out? Would it still be your favorite? We're going to find out this weekend!

I mean, a Ducati is supposed to go faster than a bicycle, and a $70 wine is supposed to taste better than a $25 one. Right? Well, maybe not. A wine's success isn't measured in MpH, it's measured in the taste that is transferred from the glass to your mouth. If you don't know the price, can't see the label, and can't hear someone waxing poetic in your ear about the wine's "score," then all that is left is the juice and your taste buds. It's a scary proposition for any winemaker. That's why you have marketing departments that design catchy labels, create campaigns to build a wine's image, and spend all of their time and energy essentially trying to convince consumers that a wine is great. The problem is that you can't out "market" a blind tasting.

Which is why we're playing "Find the Caymus Cabernet" this Saturday - and I have to tell you this may the the most competitive lineup we have ever put together. The format is simple really. Eight wines will all be tasted blind on our tasting machines each at a cost of $1.00. ($8 to get through the whole tasting) One of them will be the 2022 Caymus Cabernet and the others will be an assortment of wines at every price point from a number of different regions. All you have to do is taste and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's the Caymus, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are.

We hope to see you Saturday - we can't wait to see who the winner will be!

2023 Domaine Priou Pinot Noir

Release Price in the EU: $18.49 USD (HERE)
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 46%



SALE runs Tuesday Oct 1st - Sunday October 6th, 2024

How we all can help Asheville: HERE

Reminder we open at 9am Thursday - Saturday

Only 4 pallets came to the United States!

Many of you were out this weekend to taste some Pinot, and the top vote getter in our huge Pinot Noir lineup was making its debut in the United States this weekend!

To celebrate a victory by Domaine Priou over titans such as Kosta Browne and Williams Selyem, we're putting it on sale for $9.99 through Sunday...(to put it in perspective some of those other wines are $90+ 👀)

François et Jean-François Priou mostly grow Sauvignon Blanc along the River Cher; their Touraine Sauvignon Blanc is a great value. But as the world warms up, certain places that didn’t used to be able to ripen certain grapes are finding it easier to show off. While you might not think of the Loire Valley for Pinot Noir, it’s routinely grown there and, if you haven’t had a chance to drink any of the lighter, ethereal versions of the grape in this region, it’s because the yields are small, and the locals gobble up most of it.

Now is your chance to see why the locals try to keep all this wine for themselves. Many tasters last weekend figured it out quickly.

We'll keep it short and sweet today. This one is a keeper!!

We absolutely love all things Pinot Noir, so we obviously decided this weekend was a great opportunity to put together a HUGE Pinot Noir tasting! I mean why not, right? 

As you can tell above, we've tried to put together a pretty awesome lineup on the machines for you this weekend. Burgundy titan Virely-Rougeot? Check. California icon Kosta Browne? You bet. Belle Glos? Sure. #1 seller in the store Benieres? Obvi. Multiple blind tasting champion Willowlake? Yup.

It's basically a Pinot lover's dream.

We'll also be featuring some NEW Pinot Noirs to winestore. from the fine folks at Domaine Priou (Virely is new too!).

Per the usual, we'll also be running some specials on a few others in this lineup, so if you find yourself with a little extra time on Saturday, we're gonna need you to come on by and have a taste with us!

As always, THANK YOU for your business. We are humbled by your support and strive to do right by you all each and every day!

We hope to see you this weekend and Happy Tasting!

The value train here at winestore. is running at full speed, and we have another show stopper for you at $9.99 per bottle.

As we have opined many times this year, there is no better time to be a wine buyer here at winestore. The sheer number of sub $15 magical wines is as good as it has ever been here, and Chateau Tuileries Pagès is making a splash in that lineup.

We first tasted this wine at the largest wine trade show in France back in February, and fell in love almost instantly. This is from the same importing group that is behind other breakout stars here at winestore. like Grand Billard and Peynaud Bagnac.

So what's the deal here?

In 1936 a small group of winegrowers from Monségur, a village in the heart of the Bordeaux region, joined forces to overcome the wine industry’s economic difficulties and modernize the wine making process. They created “Les Vignerons Réunis de Monségur” Cooperative. Almost a century later, there are more than 90 members of the cooperative, and in 2010 the whole place got updated and modernized. Think softer and easy drinking reds, perfect for lighter fare and even fish. Pro tip? Put in the fridge for 15 min before serving. It is epic!

We'll have it on the tasting machine at all 8 stores (9 starting next week!) for the rest of this week for only $0.01...just in case you don't trust us 😁.

Wine down Wednesday? I'm in!

I thought about this tweet about Five Guys burger prices the other day (I'm sorry but $22 for a burger, fries and a drink before tip is insane), and it made me thankful that there are still companies like Bodegas Lo Nuevo out there that are pushing the limits of value. We need people still carrying that flag!

Case in point? Escorlada.

This wine is kinda my everything.

I love it all. I love the wine, I love the packaging, I love the box it comes in (I always have a six pack in my house, even if to keep other bottles in!)...there is not one thing here I don't get excited about...

Now, when it is on sale like this?

Find me another wine that tastes this good, looks this good, and impresses like this, for $14.99. I'm not sure it exists.

It's got the accolades to go along with the great packaging and price.

It's been in Vivino top 1% of all wines in the world.



Current vintage is top 10% of all wines in the world - and has an avg user price of $20.11 per bottle (here) 👀



It was our 2019 Wine of the Year and is an all around ridiculous value at $14.99 per bottle.

What's the background?

Bodegas Lo Nuevo is crucial to the modern success of Spanish wine, especially wines from the Levante, the Africa-facing south. Here the Almansa region grows Garnacha, among other traditional Spanish red grapes, but unlike the oxidized, alcoholic wines of yore, the new wines are bright and sunny with all the original fruits from the grape preserved. Lo Nuevo has few peers in this grand evolution from the ancient and occasionally noble to something populist, fruity and modern. But they would be the first to insist that their success is conditioned upon old vines grown at high altitudes. Here the Garnacha is at nearly 3500 feet, where the otherwise relentlessly warm temperatures see nighttime cooling into the 40s.

These old Garnacha vines produce BIG and RICH red wines that don't require the same price points as some of the California peers because, quite frankly, the costs to make them in Almansa are simply not as big as they are in Napa.

So here we go, for six days only, maybe my favorite wine in the store for what is an absolutely silly price.

Let's do this! Happy Tuesday!

The countdown is ON!

As we prepare to open our 9th store next week, and our first store outside of North Carolina, we asked all of our suppliers to bring us some Grand Opening deals that represent what we are all about:

- Guaranteed low prices
- Unbelievable value, no matter the price
- Ability to try before you buy
- Award winning customer service (although our suppliers can't really help with that 😂)

The people behind Maison de Palais Voleur stepped up to the plate - and for only the second time ever in the US you can buy this wine for $19.99 per bottle (notice the avg Vivino user price of $30!)

Do you find a lot of Gigondas of this quality for $19.99? Ummmmmmm, no.......

Chateauneuf du Pape was one of the wine regions that got me into wine in the first place. I had a bottle of Domaine de Marcoux that knocked my socks off, and I was hooked from then on. That said, over the last decade or so, many of those Chateauneuf wines have priced me out. I have had to seek out value elsewhere...and elsewhere just happens to be right next door to Chateauneuf, in Gigondas.

Only a few years ago, we could say that Gigondas, nearby and reflecting the terroir and grapes of Chateauneuf, was the great bargain of the Southern Rhone Valley. But the price creep has started there as well, and now you have to look harder to find those values. But the quaint little village Gigondas deserves some attention; the Romans certainly thought so. They called it in “Jocunditas” which means joy or rejoicing, so we can guess that somebody liked the wine even then. It’s hard to say what the grapes were in Roman times; the Maison de Palais Voleur though is 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 10% Mourvedre.

We've talked a lot recently about discovering wines that have the "it" factor, but don't cost an arm and a leg. Here we have a wine, in the Gigondas bottle with the etched glass, with juice that reminds me of Chateauneuf, all below $20. That's the kind of stuff I need in my life right now.

All of the deals that we feature in the lead up to our new store opening will also be featured on our tasting machines at all 9 stores for only $0.01. That's right - the ultimate try before you buy, and it will only cost you a penny. 😁

As always, THANK YOU for your business and support. We are honored to be able to serve your wine needs each and every day. We don't take it for granted, and we always want to make sure we are taking great care of you!

TGIF! Let's do this!
