2020 Brooks Bank Cabernet

Release Price: $39.99
SALE Price: $14.99 (net)

It is powerful, poised and persuasive Cabernet and to put it frankly, stupid cheap for the money. Honestly, I wish this was one of those things that would never run out of supply.

The Vivino reviews are stellar as well. And the avg reported price from users is almost $22!

So let's kick off March the right way, shall we?

LAST CALL!

I love this wine...and this crazy deal we struck at the end of 2022 is sadly about to run dry.

I wish I could drink Il Carbonaione every single day, but that's not my reality. But when we do have it at this price, I try and make a point to drink a few and then put a couple in the wine cooler.
 
I went back and looked, and I still have 6 bottles of the first vintage I ever bought. According to Cellartracker, I paid wholesale $43.26 per bottle for that case of wine nearly 15 years ago .
 
So to be able to bring it to you at $44.99 retail? I'm all in (well, as "all in" as I can be at $45 per bottle 😂)

What's the big deal?

The highly-regarded Carbonaione vineyard is small, about 13 acres of stony, sandy silty loam at about 1500 feet elevation up above the little town of Greve in Chianti, facing west-southwest. It was planted back in 1928, so there are vines of more than 90 years of age, and that on its own is enough. But this is one of the few sites in Chianti planted solely to Sangiovese di Lamole, a clone that may be (researchers are still trying to sort it out) one of the older clones of the grape, and which falls under the Sangiovese Grosso heading (also known as Brunello di Montalcino). The vineyard plot “Il Carbonaione” is so named because the owners found evidence indicating a charcoal pit (in Italian ‘carbone’) located there.
 
The winemaking is straightforward, with a nod towards Chianti’s traditions – both stainless steel tanks and cement vats are used. The same with the barrels: no barriques but larger 350L barrels. The nod towards modernism lies in the use of 90% French and 10% American oak, rather than some Italian chestnut or such. Though the family’s ownership of the vineyard and this bottling date only back to 1992, the wine has already proven quite capable of long aging. You can drink it now with virtually anything rich and flavorful, as powerful as it is, but something silkier and more seductive awaits in a decade or more (if you can wait that long :)

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

2021 Maison Latour Renard Blanc

Release Price: $20.00
winestore. Price: $14.99 (net)

Maybe the hottest white wine pickup for us in the fall of 2022 was Maison Latour Renard Blanc. It's delicious, the package is awesome, and the price is right.

Only major downside of you all loving it this much is our distributor ran out right around the Holidays, and we have been out of stock ever since.

Today I am here on this beautiful Friday to tell you that the darkness of winter is over. Maison Latour is back in stock, and ready to rock for the weekend!

What makes it so good?

A white blend of Vermentino and Clairette from the region called Saint Guilhem le Désert is something maybe you haven’t heard of - and that’s okay. But you might want to know that perhaps the most famous and most highly regarded wine in all of Languedoc-Roussillon, Mas de Daumas, is part of this area. Those wines? $40 and up.

What I find most interesting though is how a wine that is packaged this beautifully, that is this well made, from a small medieval town in the middle of almost nowhere south of France can show up half way across the planet on the shelf for only $14.99. It's tough to really comprehend...but lets not look a gift horse in the mouth!

I know what I'm drinking tonight!

I'm not going to lie. I'm ready for spring...and these 80 degree days have me doubly ready!

With warmer weather, of course, comes unlimited amounts of rosé...and Balcon is one of my favorites!

Balcon, our #2 selling rosé, has all the things we love about dry rosé. It delivers everything you want 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.

So I'm gonna open a bottle tonight, I might even try to enjoy a glass outdoors, and I'm gonna pretend I'm on that boat on the label :)

If you're a Chianti fan like I am, this is a do not miss wine.

Castello Vicchiomaggio is a part of Tuscan history, even if that is a place that these days more often serves as a film backdrop or wedding venue than as the beating heart of a great wine estate. But they’ve always had the money to do really good wine, and indeed they have done that at times. It’s just that you have to stay on top of what they are doing if you want to get that really good wine. From the late 1990s a new family took over this nearly millennia old estate, and they want to be taken seriously – this wine is a good start; they would argue that they started moving towards excellence as soon as they took over. They may be right; nothing in wine is fixed: the great have their off vintages. The decent producers can suddenly do excellent wine. That’s our job: find them.
 
Agostino Petri Chianti Classico is Vicchiomaggio with a Riserva designation, Sangiovese with a dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon, and from a single, great vineyard. This wine is aged in the used La Prima barrels, and then aged in larger format barrels for another half year or so. This is the Italian way and these both reflect that heritage. But they also reflect how much Italy has changed in the last twenty years and how modern and exciting the wines have become.

So.......full bodied Chianti Classico Riserva for less than $20 from an epic producer? Yes, please!

Let's do this!

A record breaking heat wave is set for North Carolina this week, and that has me dreaming of Spring and Summer!

So we reached out to the supplier of our favorite warm weather wine, Swimbad, and were able to cut a deal! (Did I mention how much I love these PET bottles? They fit in the fridge so well!)

This blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Colombard is just an overall pleasurable experience. It kinda embodies both the classic style of traditional French white wine and the very modern pursuit of fresh fruity flavors.

As we've said before, there is so much about wine that is subjective. If we are to understand how traditional wines came to be, it’s to know that pleasure is the goal. Of course, we could demand more but why is that necessary? Isn’t pleasure enough? Shouldn’t we enjoy wines for what they are and what they offer? If the last two years have taught us nothing else, it is that seeing the downside of everything is easy. Our goal is to find the positive. As James Joyce said of his epic Ulysses, the book should end with the most positive word in the English language. "Yes.”

So I'm going to continue to say "yes" to SWIMBAD white this Spring and Summer (and winter for that matter) - more often than not...and at $7.99 I think I'm going to say "yes" to a six pack 😂

Is this the Super Tuscan to end all Super Tuscans?

SAVE 50%



*Curbside Pickup Always Available*

If Super Tuscan wines are your thing, this is a wine you need to be drinking. Il Fauno is one of those wines that has a universal effect on people. It makes the drinker think, "Why haven't I known about this until now?" and sometimes "Why do I need to spend more than $25 on wine when stuff like this exists!". 

It's that good.

Tenuta di Arceno is an ancient Tuscan estate, massive in scale at over 2500 acres, producing some of the most interesting and powerful wines in the Chianti Classico DOCG region and under the Toscana IGT designation. The estate is in the southern portion of Chianti Classico in the all-important commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga where Il Fauno is produced.
 
Here Merlot is the dominant grape, at about half the blend, with Cabernet Franc playing a supporting role and only a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. It’s grown in the rather warmer sunnier portion of the estate and, with more clay, famously a soil that Merlot can, in the right places, do great things.

So let us drink a wonderful Super Tuscan tonight, and perhaps begin planning that great family vacation to Italy we always wanted to take. Or let's just drink some good wine because it is Thursday and we want to 😁

You guys are gonna love this one! Let's get to it!

So it turns out Langtry makes a Lillie's Collection Chardonnay. They asked if we wanted to try it, and based on the success of their red wine with our customers, we of course said yes.

That said, high quality Chardonnay is TOUGH y'all. Inexpensive high quality Chardonnay is even tougher. If we can find a winner in that category once every couple of years, that is considered a huge win.

This Chardonnay? From California? At $9.99 on sale? I can only tell you it will make a run as the best domestic Chardonnay we have ever carried that can retail for less than $10.

It has all the richness and power that you seek out of a Rombauer or Sonoma Cutrer, without any harsh edges at all. 

Like I don't know how long they will keep making this beauty at this price, but we are all in for as long as we can run with it!

We'll have it on the tasting machines at all 8 locations for the rest of the week, just in case you don't trust us 😁!

"In spite of rock and tempest's roar, in spite of false lights on the shore, sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!"
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The quote above is from the 2019 Dry Creek Mariner front label, and while it has absolutely nothing to do with how delicious this wine is, we thought it was pretty awesome and thus decided to include it in this e-mail. If you want to geek out and read the whole poem like we did, you can find it here.

Anyhoo - back to the topic at hand - Dry Creek Mariner at the lowest price in the US! If still waters suggest depth, a wine of this balance and equanimity is proof that noise and intensity aren't required for richness. A blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 11% Malbec and 8% Petit Verdot, this has length and character, but it’s not ever about the high alcohol intensity typical of California’s celebrated wines.

The wine pairs well with Wednesday evenings and people who like drinking awesome red wine :) You can also watch a pretty cool video about the wine by clicking HERE.

We recently told you about Belcoop Red. It's an absolute stunner of a wine, and at $9.99 it may end up being one of the top value wines we have uncovered in the last few years.

Well....it turns out they make a white wine as well, and it is every bit as delicious as the red!

What's going on here?

Grenache Blanc, a white mutation of Grenache Noir, is a work in progress but only because the consumer is still discovering it. Producers long ago realized its potential for crisp white wines that are so much more than merely crisp. With enough sunshine, Grenache Blanc can develop weight and power, not quite Chardonnay but no light white either. In truth, it’s not wholly a white wine in its density, befitting its kinship with the major grape of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The wine is fermented like Chardonnay in some ways, though the stainless steel variety; its lees are stirred in the tank, creating greater richness and texture, and Grenache Blanc is very happy that way.

You will be too, once you try this thing!

So let's end this month like we started it, shall we? Focusing on the thing that gets us most excited in the wine world - when inexpensive meets high quality! My taste buds and my wallet are equally happy!

Let's get to it!

Lillie's Collection is back!!!!

October 2021 was the last time we saw this wine and honestly we thought we would never see it again. It was (and still is) and project for BevMo in California from Langtry - but the winery called us back in November and asked if we would be interested in the wine again...as BevMo may have ordered more than they needed.

The answer was of course yes, as this absolutely stunning red blend was one of our best selling wines for the short time that we had it.

What makes this wine so awesome?

The wine business can be a weird place, and the story behind this wine is a prime example.

So there was a wine made by a Guenoc Winery and Langtry Winery partnership called "Lillie's Collection Victorian Claret" for a California wine powerhouse called BevMo.

Guenoc and Langtry decide to split up. Langtry owns the trademark to "Lillie's Collection". Guenoc owns the trademark to "Victorian Claret".

Potential problem? Indeed.

Langtry continues producing the wine for BevMo but has to put "Red Wine" on the label instead of "Victorian Claret". BevMo says that doesn't work - now they don't want the wine anymore. (notice how on Bevo's website it still says "Victorian Claret 👀)

...one thing leads to another and next thing you know we get to offer you this wine at an absolutely silly price. Like I said, the wine business is a weird place.

Langtry Farms was originally founded back in the 19th Century by entertainer Lillie Langtry, who purchased 4,200 acres in Northern California around 1888. Today, Langtry Estate makes up over 21,000 acres and is one of the largest continuous land holdings in all of California.

Their Petite Sirah, which makes up the base of this blend, is one of the best Petite values in the North Coast. Both powerful and well balanced, it's a prime example of what stunning values can come out of the North Coast when left at the hands of a master like winemaker Eric Stine.

So BevMo's loss is your gain - at least until it runs out again!

As always, THANK YOU for your business. We are humbled and honored to serve you day in and day out.

Happy Thursday!!

Austin Hope, makers of the eponymous Austin Hope line of wines, as well as Treana, Liberty School, Quest, and a few others, released a few years ago an "entry" level Cabernet that is downright insane for the money.

Austin Hope’s family started farming grapes and wine in Paso Robles more than 30 years ago. While they planted apples, they were quick to realize that grapes could prosper as well; few did in 1978. Cabernet Sauvignon, along with Zinfandel, has long been their lodestar, and the power of Paso Robles Cabernet is now a benchmark for California wine. It also doesn't hurt that one of Austin Hope's mentors was Chuck Wagner (of Caymus fame).

The Hope family used to sell grapes to Caymus, and many have opined that the Austin Hope line of wines are eerily similar to Caymus in style, at a fraction of the cost. We will let you all decide if they taste as good!

You guys know what to do! Let's get to it!

How about an offer today that is one of the best red wines under $15 we've tried in awhile, at the lowest online price in the US (heck, there are even people out there selling this wine for $40+ (here), in what may be the heaviest glass bottle of all time?

I'm in!

So what is the background on Maginifico?

Well, the wine business is a funny thing. Botter was founded in 1928 in a small town near Venice, selling local wines in barrels and demijohns. Today Botter is one of the largest producers and exporters of Italian wines, accounting for something close to 5% of the exports of all Italian wine bottles. They are clearly successful in the modern world, even when using old vineyards for Zinfandel, I mean, Primitivo (let’s use the original name).

Magnifico is sourced from ancient bush vines, handpicked, and then fermented in a modern manner, using a submerged cap system, with a 12-15 day maceration and controlled temperatures. That creates burly, powerful, Zinfandel (I mean, primitivo 😂) - and let's be honest, isn't that why we drink zin? The bigger the better!

I know what I'm drinking tonight! Happy Tuesday y'all!

We've got a good one for you today! Let's kick the weekend off right!

So winemaker Ted Henry back in 2021 was named head winemaker at Groth Vineyards (here). The man has an incredible track record in the valley. Winemaker at Clos du Val, Jarvis, Artesa just to name a few. He also started a pet project in Coombsville called Prime and as part of his deal with Groth he agreed to shut the winery down in November of 2022.
 
That means somebody needed to close out some wine - and given how much we already loved this project, we were there with open arms.
 
We are able to offer this wine to you today for only $34.99. Total Wine still has it for sale at the “Winery Direct” price of $77.99 (here)
 
Only hiccup is obviously this wine will not be made again, so this is a one time deal. 123 cases landed just two weeks ago - and we only have 160 bottles left.
 
I know what I'm drinking tonight!

TGIF!

Tyros Napa Cabernet - Lowest US Price!

You may recall the Silenus flagship wine we offered you a few months ago. It was a $50 bombshell full of fruit that used to make up the base component for Silver Oak.

Well, they also make an entry level Cabernet called Tyros - and it is absolutely delicious as well!

Silenus has quite the history in Napa. The estate used to be known as Newlan Vineyards. Bruce Newlan was a rocket scientist from San Jose who liked to vacation in Napa Valley, so he decided to start a winery (why not!). He chose this southern portion of Napa Valley because it enjoys a longer growing season, earlier bud break and optimal ripeness. But Newlan had to change hands in 2008 and so Silenus rose up, starting on a track that has culminated in being one of the first Napa Green properties (the sustainability program from Napa Valley Vintners) to develop a Carbon Farm Plan for the vineyards to become Carbon Neutral, regenerative farming that is the gold standard in sustainability and healthy farming. While other types of farming (organic or biodynamic) may be healthy for the grapes, they do not address the use of fossil fuels or the work required of vineyard workers. Owner and President Scott Meadows came aboard when it was Newlan but now he, his wife Yuko and his two daughters live, garden and create wine there.

Let's get to it, shall we?!?!?
