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.

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

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

"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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
