Even though our stores are closed today, each New Year's Day we do a one day sale on our website to ring in the new year - and the catch is the wine has to be offered at our lowest price EVER. That's right...one time only, to kick of the new year right, lowest price we will ever offer.
It's kinda how we roll.
So to say goodbye to 2024 and welcome in hopefully a wonderful 2025, we are offering one of our favorites for an absolutely silly price of $19.99 (I'm getting fired up just writing this!)
We tasted this wine for the first time last year and absolutely loved it, and our love seemed to be matched by you guys as the first week it landed, I watched two customers buy straight cases of it after just tasting it on the machine.
Flying overseas to find wines like this has really transformed some of our offerings as of late. We’ve opined many times recently that the quality level of our $25-$75 collectible offerings has never been higher, and the value we currently have in store between $20 and $60 I would put up against anyone in the US right now. We used to be at the mercy of our distributors and importers, all of which offer a relatively limited selection of wines compared to what is available globally. Being able to find something like Pontey Lamartine Pessac, and be able to offer it for $19.99 per bottle, just gets me really excited.
I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve!
Here's to an amazing 2025!
Let's do this!

Sneaky Top Wine of 2024 is BACK!
Maison de Palais Voleur for $19.99
It has become a tradition here that we take a moment at the end of each year just to say THANK YOU.
As we approach our 19th Birthday (is this real life?!?), we want to just reiterate how truly appreciative we are of you spending your hard earned dollars with us over the last 12 months and we hope to continue to earn your business as we enter 2025.
We are humbled by the opportunity to serve each and every one of you, and we don't take it for granted.

Everything from name tags, updated hours, and process changes....the customer knows best, and we are listening.
We hope to see you today (we are open until 6pm!) as you stock up for your New Year's Eve! If you're like us, you need some wine before heading to bed at 9pm :)
Also, for what it's worth, if you've been saving a nice bottle for a special occasion - we encourage you to open it up tonight. It doesn't have to be bubbles. Life is short, and our time here is limited. Things can change in an instant. No better time than now to celebrate all we have to be thankful for!
Thank you again, Happy New Year, and blessings to you and your family for a wonderful 2025.

One of the items we were going to run as a Holiday Special did not arrive until yesterday (great timing!), but that isn't going to slow us down.
So one of the sneaky best selling wines of 2024 (I say sneaky because it has been out of stock for most of the year!) is back in stock and at the lowest online US price through midnight on December 31st!!
When we first got this wine in stock back in March, 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 delicious red wine made by winemaking superstar Nicholas Vellas.
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 have been waiting six month 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!
Why do we love it so much (in addition to the glass?!) - a video of the bottle can be found here.
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 post holiday bonus, we'll have this on the tasting machine at all 9 stores for just $0.01 all weekend long.
TGIF y'all!
I know what I'm drinking tonight!

Could we set a sales record today?
Did we save the best for last?
Well...we wanted our final deal of the 2024 Holiday Season to be special, and Cape Charles Cabernet for $19.99 seemed like a great chef's kiss to what has been a fun season of wine, friends, family, and general merriment.
Quick note - this wine has never sold for this price before. Ever.
Since 2021, Cape Charles Cabernet has busted every single sales record we ever had at our stores. Every month, month after month, this wine sits at the top of the heap - and for good reason! This is one of the best sub $25 wines you will find - no matter the region, grape variety, etc. It's one of the best.
At $19.99? We're entered the realm of absurd value.
It's also worth noting this wine was our Wine of the Year in 2022 AND 2023.
A label developed with Baron Ziegler (he's kind of a big deal, you can read more about him here) to take advantage of the high end left over juice, the results have been unreal. The label itself was lent to the project by artist Peter Curling - he's also kind of a big deal and you can read more about him here.
We started with Kamen Moon Mountain juice which sold out in just a few weeks. We then doubled down with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Leonetti in Washington State. After the Leonetti success we told Baron the next one had to be huge…and he delivered.
This 100% Cassata Vineyard Cabernet is the best wine he's released yet, and I'm not sure it is even close.
Where / what is the Cassata Vineyard?
Rancho Los Guilicos is the historical name for the Cassata family’s estate in prime Sonoma Valley territory. It’s part of the original Mexican land grant from the 1830s, administered by General Mariano Vallejo, and offered to settlers who would attempt to tame this wilderness.
Vallejo gave the grant to his sister-in-law who sold it in 1850 to William Hood; the local peak is named after him. It went through a few other hands before it was bought by Judge Carroll Cook, Superior Court Judge of San Francisco. This is when it becomes known as “Rancho El Nido” or “The Nest” and when Jack London and his love for the Valley of the Moon, as well as the Judge’s expertise with cocktails, enters the picture. London’s ranch was at the edge of the property; and Cook planted grapes to make wine.
There were only three owners through the 20th century. The Cassata family bought El Nido in 2002, and have since been dedicated to restoring its glory through bio-sustainable farming. They’ve even re-planted olive trees to make olive oil. They’ve focused the vineyard choices on the traditional areas and the grapes that belong there (like the Cabernet family) as well as grapes that have helped build its fame (like Zinfandel and Alicante Bouschet). This is the beating heart of historical Sonoma wine country!
As for prices - you’ll find Cassata Vineyard Cabernet anywhere from $53 to $105 per bottle. NEVER has this vineyard ever had wine in the 21st century that has been priced under $20.
One Day Only.

In a 33 e-mail strong thread that goes back to October 14th, we were negotiating a deal on 2021 Alea Fina Napa Cabernet - a collaboration between Sebastian Donoso of Bonterra Organics and Conch y Toro and winemaking superstar Paul Hobbs. The wine has all of the pedigree of a triple crown winner, and it is everything you could want from high end Napa Cab. A great video from Paul and Sebastian can be found here.
All that said, the winery retails it for $150.00 per bottle (HERE), and $150 per bottle wine isn’t moving super fast right now. We agreed to buy 50% of their entire available stock, 476 six pack cases, if we could retail it for $39.99 per bottle. They agreed, and here we are!
The wine arrived two weeks ago and in the time it took us to get the wine all the stores in NC and GA, you all have purchased 324 of the 476 six packs 👀
When deals are this good...word gets around.
That leaves just 152 six packs for all North Carolina and Georgia.
There are no words I could put in this e-mail that could adequately convey how silly this deal is…so I will copy and paste from an e-mail I received from a customer just 3 days ago after they had bought a six pack back on Dec 8th, and wanted some more:
He is not wrong...it might be the best deal ever.
This is the lowest price this wine has ever been offered for, by a wide margin, and I would venture to guess given the extreme back and forth we had with the winery, that it will be the lowest we will ever be able to sell it for.
We truly value the opportunity to serve you and your family, and I hope everyone is having a wonderful Holiday Season. If you’ve been saving a nice bottle - open it up. Share it with people that don’t even drink wine. They will love it. No better time then now. I will even come over and help you drink it if you need me to! I can also bring my kids over to hang at your house during Christmas break if you want…😂
Tasting sheets and technical info can be found here and here.
First come. first served!

We've reached the point in the Holiday Season where the next 4 deals are going to be some of the best we have ever offered...and we'll start with Grand Cru Saint-Emilion for $19.99.
One of the wines that really got me into drinking and collecting wine was Chateau Pavie. It's a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from this region of Bordeaux...and it's like really, really awesome (that is a professional wine recommendation).
Sadly, it now costs over $350 a bottle (inflation much? 😳), and that's not really in my wheelhouse.
So when we tried the Vieux Lescours for the first time back in 2023, I got that same Chateau Pavie feeling.
We're talking similar grape blend, a vineyard originally planted in 1850, 12 months in 75% new French Oak, and all the acidity a wine like this needs to be an age worthy rock star.
That $350 Chateau Pavie feeling for $19.99 is what I look for in wines I drink.
It also doesn't hurt that this is 54% lower than the already lowest online price for this wine in the US.
You guys know that is how we roll!
Price is good till Sunday or honestly until we run out (a Corporate Customer purchased 436 bottles of this earlier this week so that took a chunk out of our inventory!)
TGIF!! 99% chance I am drinking this tonight!

7 Days until Christmas? How is that even possible? Wasn't it February like a hot minute ago?
Today, as our deal train goes on, we are bringing you 100% Bennett Valley Pinot Noir from Sonoma County for only $19.99 per bottle.
Dare I say it...this is the best Willowlake Pinot they have ever made?
Why is it so amazing?
Wine wizards Baron Ziegler and Rob Fischer have been crafting this Pinot Noir since 2014 (when Vivino labeled it in the top 5% of all wines in the world) and it has become harder and harder to get each and every year.
Case in point - last year it was out of stock from April through September and this year we were unable to buy any from May until October!!
Heck, Vivino even says the 2019 vintage is one of the top 9% of all wines in the world. Nice!
Since its launch it has been our #1 selling Pinot Noir in terms of gross dollar volume and it is a THREE time "Belle Glos Blind Tasting" winner (also it has never come in worse than second).
So just to recap:
1) 100% Bennett Valley Pinot for $19.99 (that never happens)
2) Top wine in the world according to Vivino
3) 3 time Belle Glos Blind Tasting winner
Perfect for the Holiday table? YES!
Perfect for tonight watching another episode of Landman? ALSO YES! (seriously, is anyone else watching that show?)
Let's do this!

We are not slowing down. Today is one we have been waiting to release for almost 6 weeks.
In a deal we were able to cut back in November, the powers that be are giving us enough support to go out with Snowvale Sierra Foothills at $14.99 per bottle. This is the first and will be the only time this wine will see this price.
I think a cursory search around google for wines from this AVA will let you know that this deal is pretty silly.
A century and a half ago, the Sierra Foothills was the scene of a whole lot of winemaking. Why? Because there were many, many thirsty men there, all assembled around a pan and a creek or a little seam of possible gold. Sad to say, we don’t know what those wines were like. But we do know that there are still many century old vines in them thar hills.
This particular sample came from the iconic Shake Ridge Ranch (you can read more about it here) and from a winery I was not familiar with (whose name I cannot disclose but it starts with a K 😁). We tasted some great wines the day we tasted with this group, but this red blend stole the show. We were not told what was in the wine and this winery makes so many different bottlings it is hard to try and figure it out - but based on the fact it is from Shake Ridge I am guessing it is from the Rhone components that make up their only Shake Ridge Bottlings (both $80).
More importantly though, it really didn’t matter to us the grape varietal composition - the wine was so good we were buying it no matter what.
Baron Ziegler, who brings us all these treats, continues to impress. In the current California red wine market, to be able to bring you single vineyard offerings of this quality for $14.99 continues to boggle my mind. But these guys just keep bringing the goods, and the bulk wine market right now is an embarassment of riches...if you know where to look.
So....6 days only. $14.99. We could not be more pumped about this!!!

What is the #1 most purchased wine by winestore. team members in 2024 (which honestly that is the stat I love to see most as a consumer- what do the people that work there drink)?
Histoire de Grains "Marselan"
The 2023 Histoire de Grains (which is 100% Marselan), is a testament that amazing wine simply does not need to be expensive.
Wait.........what in the world is Marselan?
Throughout the expansive Roussillon-Languedoc are some of the more adventurous French grapes with which you might not be familiar – Marselan is at the top of the heap. It’s a crossing of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache and in the last quarter century is being looked to as one of the grapes that might save France from climate change. Will it? Who the heck knows. But it certainly is interesting stuff: a bit lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon but with some of its strengths and backbone. Bordeaux has just recently chosen it as a newly approved grape there; they see its character and future importance as well.
So to celebrate this wine hitting #1 team member purchase we're putting it on sale for $9.99 per bottle through Sunday. Please also note this is only the second time this wine has ever seen this price since we started carrying it!

When the Holiday deals start rolling, it's tough not to get caught up in the fun.
It kinda feels like when Oprah just started giving away cars.
So for this weekend we wanted to do something special, and Chateau Carteau for $24.99 fits that bill. I'm feel almost giddy just writing about it.
This is the lowest price we've ever seen this wine in the US (at least in the last 20 years), and the wine is, quite simply put, stunning.
I will challenge anyone reading this to find better quality Bordeaux for less than $75 per bottle. I’d even put this wine up against Bordeaux I’ve tasted in the $150-$250 per bottle range.
Saint-Émilion is the oldest area of Bordeaux and its Roman ruins are a frequent reminder. Still, when the region was getting codified, Saint-Émilion was left out – it was sleepy and nearly forgotten. That changed in the 1990s when the garagiste movement of tiny Saint-Émilion wineries started making stunning, trend-setting wines. So the “Old” Jacques Bertrand Estate of Chateau Carteau is both Old School and modern all at the same time.
Chateau Carteau is a very typical Saint-Émilion blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon and it sees a bit more new oak than is typical at this price point. Half new and half one-year-old barrels generate more spice and weight in the mouth and, in a vintage like 2021, that is just right.
Buy "Hey" you ask, "How do you know it will last 40 years?"
Well, a customer sent us the below pic of a bottle they just drank not too long ago, and they said it was divine!
I honestly can't think of any one wine right now at $25 or less that can go that distance.
So I'm buying a case at this price.
Am I going to age it for 40 years?
I have no idea...but one thing I know for certain, is I am opening a bottle tonight 🤣
TGIF! Three days only!!

How about 28% off Total Wine on an icon of Tuscan wine??
Yes, please!
A relatively young estate by Tuscan standards (since 1834), Petrolo lies in the Colli Aretini, outside of the Chianti Classico region. Nonetheless, this little hilltop is every bit as good as the “classic” spots and, for its entire history, has nurtured not just Sangiovese but also Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, just as brands such as Sassicaia (which costs like $300 per bottle) have done. Torrione is the blend of grapes from all the vineyards of Petrolo (80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) and since 1988 has been the standard bearer for this esteemed estate.
Let's keep it short and sweet today, shall we?
Oh and yes, I know what I'm drinking tonight!

My biggest kinda gripe as of late has been that I feel like more and more places are just charging higher prices and delivering lower quality. I'm sure I'm not alone.
That's why I'm glad wineries like Tatiana Guillot still exist in the world. Yes, Santa, I do want a White Burgundy that actually tastes amazing, delivers exceptional quality, and only costs $12.99 per bottle.
I want a wine I can serve at my party, to my friends, that is going to wow them...AND not break the bank.
The Guillot Family has been making Chardonnay in Burgundy for generations, but this is the first offering we have ever seen from them that we could sell at this price.
Oh, and this is not just your regular ol' Mâcon...
Macon Villages was once a bigger deal, or at least it was once a wine that absolutely every restaurant had to pour by the glass. Some of the biggest names in the business started their careers in this airy, Chardonnay-laden territory (you know, like Georges Duboeuf, for one).
In the climate change era, Macon seems to be morphing from light and slightly generic to richer and even slightly buttery. But only slightly. Remember that Chardonnay in France is almost always more about the minerals than the butter; Macon is clean and crisp and tangy. Yet, it is increasingly weighty.
That's what you get here, and it's really something...we’re not quite to California richness yet, but who knows?
Chardonnay lovers unite!

Our team gets no direction in how they can vote for our Wine of the Year. The only thing we ask is that they think about the wine that has had the biggest impact on our customers.
The voting was unanimous for first place - 2022 Palace Thief Cabernet Sauvignon.
Back in July when this wine was released, we told you this is most likely the best deal we had ever offered in 18 years in business.
After seeing customer and team member reaction around this wine, I'm able to potentially take it one step further. This is one of the best deals I have ever seen offered in the wine business...period. You don't have to believe me...ask anyone who has tried it 😁
What is going on here?
Back in January, I had the following text exchange with a winemaker we work with in California.
There was some more to it, but this is all I can show you. It was a sample bottle of 100% Cabernet from a winery in Columbia Valley Washington, and the initials of the winery were on the sample (I had to black them out).
I also can’t tell you the winery name, but it’s not going to take you long to figure out what we are talking about here. They make maybe the most famous Cabernet in Columbia Valley. The winery has twenty six 100 point scores. They are one of the top Cabernet producers in the United States. They’ve been referred to as an American first growth. Etc. Etc.
We ended up buying this entire lot, and we are now able to bring you this 100% Cabernet from this winery for only $34.99 per bottle. I’m not sure I need to tell you all anymore than that 😎
Two of the first people who bought this wine when it landed back in July purchased 9 cases and 7 cases respectively (one of them has since re-upped!). I had mentioned rumblings about this wine being a possibility in a newsletter back in February, and they had been waiting for it ever since.
Since that release, the feedback has been over the top positive. Just yesterday a local media executive sent out his weekly newsletter (Tiny Money) and called Palace Thief (and runner up T. Solomon mind you) his picks for "Teds Reds" (pic below)
We started the week with just 238 cases of Palace Thief left before it is gone for good. As of today, prior to this e-mail, there are just 141 left (I think people are picking this for their Holiday Gifts!).
So will it run out this weekend? I can't say for sure.
All I can tell you is that if you like high end Cabernet, and you have not tried this....treat yourself! You won't be disappointed.
On another note, we also just want to say THANK YOU, to all of you. We love competing against the big guys and the ability to bring you the highest quality wines and guaranteed lowest possible prices. Your continued support allows us to keep pressing the envelope on what is possible, and I promise we don't take it for granted.
Enjoy this one, and if there is ever anything we can do for you - just ask! We are here to serve you!

I spent the better part of 90 minutes yesterday trying to find any 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Chalk Hill for $19.99 or less.
I could not find one - and the pedigree from this one makes this deal that much more special.
You may have had some of the Willowlake Cabernet wines over the years. It is the one off project we started with a guy named Baron Ziegler where we took one off lots from some of the biggest names in California Cabernet and sold them at crazy prices. Names like Realm, Dunn, Dominus (The Dominus was something else!). Crazy stuff - and we usually tried to hit a $49.99 price point or lower.
The catch was we would only do it if the deal was off the charts. It couldn’t just be good, or ok…it had to be lights out. That’s why the last Willowlake release before this one in August was all the way back in August of 2022. We simply had not found anything that met those standards…until February 2024 rolled around.
So anyway, way back in February, one of the biggest names in California wine approached us with a proposition. We could buy a tranche of their Chalk Hill Estate Cabernet lot that goes into their flagship wine and the price would be “aggressive”.
While I can't tell you the name of the winery in this e-mail - a cursory search around Google for Chalk Hill Cabernet from a top name at $160 per bottle should lead you to the right location 😁.
We tasted it, found out about the price, and we bought every case they would let us buy. You all then tried to buy every single bottle that we had which ended up landing this wine in YOUR top wines of the year.
To celebrate, we have placed it on sale through Friday for $19.99 per bottle - but there is a chance we might run out of it at this price.
Just yesterday, most likely driven by the crazy price, you all bought 62 of the remaining 243 cases of this wine. At that rate the wine is going to be gone by Thursday. Just a heads up!!
I’m not sure how much California Cabernet you all are drinking - but I think we’re all on the same page when I tell you $19.99 for estate grown Cabernet from Chalk Hill aged in French Oak is something that…how does one say…that does not exist in the marketplace.
Get while the gettin' is good.
First come, first served.

The biggest sale item of 2024 was Z/N Zinfandel for $5.99 per bottle. When it was on sale for this price over Memorial Day it was absolutely insane.
So insane that we approached the winemaking team behind P/S, P/N, C/S and Z/N wines and asked if there was any way we could run it back for the 3 days before Thanksgiving...
They agreed!!
An entire bottle of wine for less than I was charged for a baked potato at a restaurant recently. Neither of those things is a joke 😂
We have Z/N Zinfandel for $5.99 per bottle. That's right, $5.99 per bottle for some absolutely ridiculous full bodied red wine.
The only hiccup, much like last time, is that they were not going to allow us to sell everything we could get our hands on at this price.
They said they would agree to another 4 pallets at this price - but that works out to just 224 cases for the entire state of North Carolina and Georgia. At $5.99 per bottle for the 3 days before Thanksgiving could it sell out today?!?!?
Much like on Memorial Day, I have a feeling that at just $71.88 for an entire case of wine (although yes, you can buy as little as 1 bottle), this one is going to walk itself out the door.
This could be the go to for the adult children back in town, as a nice "2nd bottle" for the family, or just as the go to for Aunt Sally who just really doesn't care what she drinks just as long as it is available in volume. 😂
I'm just thinking of my family we started hosting already last weekend - and given the velocity at which these people tend to drink red wine during a holiday weekend, I may be in for more than one case 👀
Over the last several years Zinfandel and Zinfandel based blends are on a tear. Heck, many of our best selling red wines are Zin based - and you might not even know you are drinking it! Think wines like Prisoner, Scout's Honor, Banknote.
So let's do this people!!!
As always, THANK YOU for the opportunity to serve you. We don't take it for granted, and we will continue to work hard for you every single day!

Ummmmmmm...I expect today to be absolutely bonkers. We have for you:
- The #1 selling item from our 2023 Holiday Box
- Was in the running for our 2023 Wine of the Year
- Our best selling wine in March 2024
- The best selling wine of May 2024 👀
- One of the top value wines available from Rasteau in the United States right now
- Avg sales price on Vivino of north of $38!!
Rue 37!
Just start by trying to find a wine from Rasteau (when thinking Rasteau think Chateauneuf du Pape, Cotes du Rhone, Gigondas etc.) for less than $15...best of luck to you. 😁
Aside from sounding like Dustin Hoffman’s character in Midnight Cowboy (hey, I'm walking here!), 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.
Old vines, low yields, perfect location? What is not to love.
Also - Vivino says the average purchase price is $39.50...and the bottle comes in some beautiful etched glass. This thing is winning.
I know what I'm drinking tonight - and this weekend...and you guys know it will be on the table for Turkey Day!

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!

*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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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

SAVE 33%

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.

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.

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

SALE Price: $9.99 (net)

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
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.
