This week, and today for that matter, are going to be bonkers.
We are here to report that after a mad dash that saw over 800 six packs get gobbled up in January, sending this wine out of stock, our Silver Oak Blind winner has returned...and is ready to rock.
Just based on back orders for people waiting for this to come back in stock, over 1,832 bottles of this went out the door last Friday 👀
What sent this wine into overdrive?
Our blind tastings always seem to produce some upsets, but honestly this one may take the cake.
Highland Falls, one of our best selling wines of all time, won the Caymus Blind Tasting last fall.
A surprise? Sure. But the wine is a known entity. It sells like hotcakes. I could see it winning in the right conditions.
The Silver Oak Blind Tasting?
In this particular case we had a wine that was the last wine we added to the lineup, a virtual unknown, and a wine we have featured in our newsletter just ONE TIME in our 19 year history, that took home the crown.
I'm sorry, what?
I was so worried that nobody would believe us, that we just decided to include the voting results. You can view them here.
581 of you came in January to test your blind tasting chops across 8 wines - and 25% of you voted Seigneur de Feu in first place. Besting Silver Oak by 14 votes.
These two wines, a $10 wine and an $80 wine, took home 47% of ALL the first place votes.
Just wild...
What is even more insane, is that in the one e-mail we have sent about this wine (and I just read this and it kinda gave me chills), I told you - as kindof a joke - that Seigneur du Feu was basically like Silver Oak but only for $10 because of the use of American Oak in the wine. 👀
Here is what we told you:
"Throughout the last two centuries of winedom, French wine has been aged in French oak. Or has it? In the 19th century, French forests, planted for warships, were plentiful enough for barrels too. In the early 20th century, barrels made from Eastern European oak became more common, especially after WWI decimated French forests. But they were replanted with purpose; the barrel industry returned and has dominated the idea of top flight wine ever since. Yet, American oak is crucial to many other wine regions: Spain, Australia, the U.S., maybe even Silver Oak (they love that vanilla smell). So this is a southern French Cab with American oak’s lashing of coconut and sawdust – the classic aromas of American oak barrels.
Maybe think Silver Oak from France, but only costs $9.99? There may be some hyperbole in there, but you get the idea! 😂"
Have we just uncovered the next big thing?
I have no idea.
But this is so damn exciting I barely know what to say.
Welcome back Seigneur du Feu!!!
