A wine that is as delicious as it is beautiful has returned for its 2026 campaign!
When we first got this wine in stock back in March of 2024, you all were the first people in the United States to get to see what may go down as one of the best glass bottles I have ever seen, matched with some super powerful red wine made by winemaking superstar Nicholas Vellas. (a video of the bottle can be found here).
We first saw this bottle in February of 2023, and waited to get our allotment of this wine for an entire YEAR. It finally arrived and immediately sold out!
So we attempted to re-order more, and it took six months to get it back in...oh, and fielded a bajillion e-mails and phone calls from customers who got in on the first tranche wondering when it was coming back in stock!
It ran out again over the holidays and...you guessed it...it took ANOTHER six months to get back in stock (surely these guys are going to work out their logistical challenges).
Why do we love it so much?!
The wine is made from Syrah and Grenache in more or less equal proportions here, and this exhibits what makes Costières de Nimes an increasingly popular and important sub-region of the Rhone Valley. It benefits from the same Mediterranean sun and breezes, and the same limestone soils, as any other southern Rhone appellation.
But here's the catch - unlike so much Châteauneuf-duPape, this stuff is actually affordable!
As an added bonus, we'll have this on the tasting machine at all 9 stores for just $0.01 all week long.
I know what I'm drinking tonight!
