2019 Ladron del Palacio

When I'm in the mood for big red wine, if I can find a bottle of Ladron, that is what I want. We just got in the last 50 six packs of this vintage, so we needed to let you know.

As we said in the subject line - this wine is not for you if light wine is your thing. But I think I agree with this review in saying that it's not too big:



What makes this stuff so special?

Many of you know and love "Escorlada" - the $20 showstopper from one of the first families of Spanish wine that we brought into the United States (the wine with the ships on the label).
 
Well, that wine has a big brother...and by big brother, we mean BIG.
 
This Spanish powerhouse comes from nearly century old garnacha vines, yielding some of the lowest tonnage yields I have ever heard of, and is aged in 100% new Taransaud French Oak (think the Ferrari of the barrel world).
 
When talking about low yields, let us take the Musigny vineyard for example - one of the top spots for Grand Cru Burgundy (Pinot Noir), where bottles start around $300. Le Musigny typically in a good year will yield some 3,500 liters of wine per hectare. The yields from the Garnacha vines that go into the Ladron yield just 700 liters per hectare (that means every 2.5 acres of vines at this site only yields 933 bottles of wine).
 
In Napa these bottles would cost $500 just based on that alone :)
 
The first time we tasted it we were floored - one by the color and the flavor profile (think the wine equivalent of the movie Roadhouse) - but also by the price we were offered. It only further reinforced to us that some of the most outstanding values in all of winedom continue to come out of Spain.
 
First come, first served. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

#5 selling wine of 2021 - It will sell out...

The fine folks at Foley Family wines informed us this week that the new vintage of Highland Falls will be released at the end of April / beginning of May. That was great news to receive, until they followed that by telling us all we have in stock is all we will be getting until that release.

According to our system, that means we have roughly 4 weeks of inventory left...and unfortunately these things kinda take on a life of their own when supply gets tight, and it kinda becomes like a run on the bank 👀

So here is your fair warning. If Highland Falls has a permanent place in your weekly lineup like it does mine, you may want to get a six pack or so to hold you over. If you're like me though you will buy six, hoping to space them out, and then just drink them immediately and be sad you did not buy more 😂

What's up with the wine?

"Mountain-grown, it’s the richest kind,” as coffee commercials used to say, but it’s also true of Cabernet. You rarely, if ever, can find mountain fruit in $12 wines. Like, I can't even think of one off the top of my head.

Foley Family's winemaking pedigree being involved doesn’t hurt either: the guys who bring you Merus, Chalone and Chalk Hill Wines are behind the powerhouse Highland Falls lineup too.

It's kinda like if the people behind Dom Perignon launched a $12 sparkler - or the winemaking team behind Rombauer rolled out a $12 Cali Chardonnay.....these are the best of the best in the Cabernet world, bringing you world class value.

This review from Vivino sums up my thoughts on the wine very succinctly!



That's it for today. You've been warned! Get while the gettin' is good!

*Curbside Pickup Always Available!*

All the best deals come to an end. That is the way things go in wine. Each vintage creates only a certain amount of product...and when it's gone, it's gone.

That brings us today to Silenus "Tyros" Cabernet. We were notified yesterday (thank you for the heads up I guess?) that the 2017 vintage has now run its course, and what we have is all we are getting.

So the roughly 7 cases we have in stock at each store is it!

Silenus has quite the history in Napa. The estate used to be known as Newlan Vineyards. Bruce Newland 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.

So there you have it!

First come, first served. You guys know what to do!

TGIF!

I'm not going to lie. I'm ready for spring.

I'm ready for warm weather, I'm ready for unlimited amounts of rosé...I'm just ready for all things spring.

I actually drink rosé year-round, and every January we pick one of our favorites to put on sale to help get us through the cold winter months. An aspirational sale if you will, for all things spring and summer.

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'm going to finish watching this season of Ozark (anyone else watching this show?), and I'm gonna pretend I'm on that boat on the label :)

In 1991, Sarah and Sparky Marquis finished their winemaking studies with $1,000 and dreams of their own business. They started as winemakers for Sarah’s parents in McLaren Vale. Then in 2006 they started their own brand, Mollydooker (Aussie slang for a “left hander’), and lovers of powerhouse wines like The Wine Advocate continue to call their wines ‘Best Value Wine in the World’. These are not subtle wines, but then isn’t that what made Australian wine famous in the first place? 

Blue Eyed Boy is one of their 100% Shiraz wines and people seem to continue to love this wine after all these years. 13,000+ reviews on Vivino is pretty stellar, especially with comments like: "Trust me, this is an investment into your future happiness!"

Now that is a review we can get behind! So let's cheers to your future happiness!

Happy Wednesday!

Austin Hope, makers of the eponymous Austin Hope line of wines, as well as Treana, Liberty School, Quest, and a few others, released last year 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!

Maybe one of my favorite finds over the last 12 months has been the 2017 Copain "Les Voisins" Syrah.

I would love to blind taste anyone on this wine and ask them what they think it is. Some people don't drink Syrah, or say they only like Cab or Pinot etc. But I think anyone who tasted this completely blind, not knowing a thing about it, would really fall in love with it.

Why? Because it’s clean and redolent with fresh, well-preserved fruits of red and black cherries, along with the spices of new barrels (cinnamon, pepper, allspice and toast).

But will the taster consider it great or at least top-flight? Well, what separates “commercial” wines from the wines that we profess to find greatness in? There should be expressions of depth, length and complexity in wines that approach greatness and I would argue that this wine embodies all that. Copain, like other estates that Jackson Family Estates has purchased (this one, in 2016) and now runs, was a star before it was purchased and it remains so today.

So if you're looking to step a little outside of your normal routine and find some greatness in some wine, I would look no further than this wine!

We'll get it up on the tasting machine at all 8 stores, just in case you don't believe us :)

There is a chance (😂) that you've read somewhere that supply chains everywhere have been disrupted due to COVID. The wine industry is not immune to this situation. Case in point, this prosecco. Our container was set to arrive November 18th. Then December 10th. Then December 20th. Then Jan 4th. Then January 8th........

You get the idea.

I am happy to report that Raffaello Prosecco, easily the best $10 sparkling wine we have ever tasted, has finally come back in stock!

The minute we tasted this "extra dry" Prosecco from Raphael Dal Bo we knew we had found something special. Once we saw the price we knew we had basically gone all Indiana Jones and found the Holy Grail of Prosecco. Tastes great in a mimosa? You know it. Tastes great on its own? Of course. Budget friendly? Bingo.

What's up with Prosecco?

After decades as an only vaguely popular international wine, in 2009 Prosecco was redefined; its lesser regions becoming DOCs and its more specialized areas, Conegliano-Valdobbiadene and Colli Asolani, gaining DOCG status. There was plenty of good news in that: no more would lesser areas be available for bottling as Prosecco, and Italy could go to war against other countries (like Australia) labeling their white wines as Prosecco. For Australian producers (and others), Prosecco was a grape, not a place. Concomitant with these changes, Italy had re-titled the grape as Glera, thus mooting any possibility of other countries insisting that they were just naming their wines Prosecco as a varietal designation. Maybe it helped, but Prosecco blew up, internationally speaking.
 
This labeling scheme was good lawyering stuff, for sure. But the larger issue is that Prosecco is now rather complicated, if it is more protected and (theoretically at least), more controlled and likely to be of higher quality. Prosecco producers also began labeling their wines by sugar levels: Raffaello’s Extra Dry (made of 100% Glera) has about the same amount of sugar in it as most Champagnes, so it’s not sweet. But Prosecco of old was generally dry and the higher end DOCG stuff remains so. Confused yet? You should be. This is all wine law in full frontal evolution and it’s anybody’s guess if this makes Prosecco sexier or more popular than it already is. That said, it's still the first choice for most folks.

So, literally, our ship has finally come in! Let's get to it!

You might know the Wagner Family from their Emmolo label: you know, elegant Sauvignon Blanc. Not ringing any bells for you?

Okay, how about their Red Schooner brand from Argentina? No?

Okay, then there’s Bonanza California Cabernet; you must have heard of that one. Right?

Oh, well, there’s also CAYMUS. That’s theirs too...

So maybe the Wagners know a little somethin’ somethin’ about winemaking. The Sea Sun winery focuses upon Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, strictly from coastal sites. Pretty much where Chardonnay and Pinot Noir prosper, much like the Wagners have.

So today we're bringing you Sea Sun Pinot Noir, at one of the lowest online prices in the US ($1 from being the lowest in the US) and the lowest price in North Carolina. Because that's how we roll...

One of the more popular deals we offered last fall was Penfolds Max's Shiraz for $14.99. So popular that you gobbled it up so it didn't even make it to Thanksgiving 👀

I am happy to report that the extremely slow container vessel from Australia has finally arrived, and the wine is back in stock!!

So we are back in business being able to offer you this top wine from one of the most iconic names in all of wine at the lowest price in the US!

Who is Max?

Max Shubert, the irascible but brilliant creator of Penfold’s Grange Hermitage, the most famous wine of the Southern Hemipshere. In the 1950s Australia just drank sweet, fortified wines (don’t chortle, Americans did the same back then). Max created a wine that reminded him of great Bordeaux and his bosses responded by telling him, if he ever did it again, they would fire him.

But Max being Max, he kept making Grange on the sly and then, though he never really owned up to it, he sent some bottles of Grange to an important blind wine tasting in England and it won. His bosses wisely chose not to terminate him after all. I met Max a few decades later and he was still irascible but that’s another story.

Meanwhile, you should drink this Shiraz named for him; it’s far friendlier than he was. 

Let's get to it people! Happy Tuesday!

You may have heard of Charlotte wine importer Eric Solomon. He is straight up crushing the Spanish and French wine market here in the good 'ole US of A. Part of the reason for his success? Value wine...and there is no stronger value play than Castano Monastrell.

Castaño makes mind-boggling wines, but you probably don't believe that, do you? “Amazing” isn’t good enough for you, is it? “Remarkable” just doesn't cut it anymore. Well, stop your cynicism and hang with me for a second. This is tasty, textured red wine that’s as revolutionary as any value wine out in the marketplace right now. I recommend them; let’s just put it that way.

Is this wine a great Tuesday night drinker with Totino's pizza? Yes. Great for drinking while watching the Season Finale of Yellowstone? Absolutely. Should you give this wine to your boss as a gift? No.

Happy Thursday y'all! Let's get to it!

Soooooooooo...we were trying to send some positive vibes out into the universe with some fun year end sales, and then we held our annual New Years Day sale and we thought things were going to start off on the right foot.

Fast forward to today, and it kinda feels like 2022 already has gone a bit off the rails (like I feel like we've seen this movie before?) - so we're just going to go ahead and do a hard reset real quick. Let's just start over.

So we are going to put our #9 selling wine of 2021 on sale through Sunday, and put it tied for the lowest price we have ever offered! The "positive vibes only" train is ready to leave the station once again, and we want you to get on board :)

So yes, today you have:
- Only 3rd time we have ever offered this price on Waccamaw Proprietary Red in 8 years of carrying it
- The wine for $9.99 is a silly good value
- It is a rich, full bodied Cabernet blend

As always, thank you for your support! It is an honor and pleasure to continue to serve you, and we're looking forward to a great 2022!

Maybe one of my favorite deals of 2021 is winding down to start 2022. Jackson Family wines informed us yesterday that our deal on Maggy Hawk Jory Hills Pinot Noir has ended and what we have in stock is all we will be getting at this price!

The Jackson Family has brought us some of the best deals over the years. Their scale allows them to push the limits of discounting when they want to grab market share, and we are all for it! Their scale has also allowed them to cultivate a spare no expense winemaking operation, churning out some of the best wines on the West Coast.
 
Case in point, Maggy Hawk. The Jackson Family Collection took one of their top winemaking talents (Sarah Wuethrich), turned her loose on some of their top land holdings...and the result is some of the most exciting California and Oregon Pinot Noir you can buy.
 
$39.99 for this wine has never been offered before, and from what it sounds like I'm not sure Jackson Family will be offering it again anytime soon.

So here you go. One last time, 2017 Maggy Hawk Jory Hills Pinot Noir. $39.99.

Let's go!

SALE Price Available TODAY ONLY - January 1st, 2022

*Curbside Pickup Always Available*

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.

So to say goodbye to 2021 and hello to hopefully a wonderful 2022, we are offering one of our favorites for an absolutely silly price of $9.99 (I'm getting fired up just writing this!)

Apparently I am not the only one that loves Orlaida, as the Vivino iPhone App I use says it is in the top 6% of all wines in the world (HERE), and that the current 2019 vintage rates better than any other vintage...so maybe I am onto something :)

A couple of my favorite reviews from the site in 2021 include:

 



Why do we love it?

Bodegas Lo Nuevo's success has allowed them to spread their wings to other prestigious regions. Their Montsant projects have brought them perhaps even more fame than in Jumilla. Orlaida could become a benchmark for the potential of Montsant. The vineyards for their Garnacha are at 2,000 ft. in altitude in the area of Cornudella de Montsant, with Priorat like slate soils. Cariñena vineyards in Darmós and Masrig are on clay soils, and the Syrah vines are located on limestone.

What does all that mean? Delicious, complex, and full bodied red wine that is right in my wine budget sweet spot! 

So here we go - one day only!

Happy New Year!

Thank you!

December 31st, 2021

It has become a tradition here that we take a moment at the end of each year just to say THANK YOU...and in a year like 2021 we cannot thank you enough. Honestly, it's been a tough last two years, right?

As we approach our 16th Birthday (is that even possible?!?), 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 2022. We are humbled by the opportunity to serve each and every one of you, and we don't take it for granted.

We are always striving to get better, so if you have any suggestions on how we can improve please write to us HERE, and let us know the one or two things you think we really need to add to our service offerings, to change, to overhaul - anything at all (heck, even if you just have some positive feedback).

We hope to see you today (we are open 9am 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. 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, and Happy New Year!

Cheers!

The team @ winestore.

Some Champagne for your New Year's Eve!

Henri Donson Brut Rosé Champagne

From the import book of wine importing celebrity Eric Solomon, comes a Champagne that is sure to please on this New Year's Eve.

Now this may be a bit confusing, but stay with me – Champagne maker Davy Dosnon is part of a family lineage in Champagne that spans generations and he makes wine from his family’s estate that is labeled as Champagne Dosnon. But he also makes a wine called Champagne Henri Dosnon, made from grapes he buys from his next door neighbors in the sub region Côte des Bars.

Champagne Henri Dosnon Brut Rosé is a blend of mainly Pinot Noir with about 10% Chardonnay aged in bottle for 20 months before disgorgement and finished with a dosage of 10 grams/liter which, if you’re not sure, is a bit dry for a Brut Rosé. These are distinctive wines, unusual in that they are barrel fermented in used, white Burgundy barrels, creating richness and complexity that shouldn’t be confusing at all, just really nice.

Dry rosé champagne, aged in white burgundy barrels, from Eric Solomon for less than Veuve Clicquot?

Impress all your friends that "know wine" with this one 😁

Lowest Price in the US!

The year end deal train is in full motion, and we are pulling out all the stops!

Today we're featuring what may be my favorite white wine in the store right now - Solanilla - at the lowest price it has ever been offered! I mean, when it is 76 degrees in December that is white wine weather, right?

Solanilla is a stylish version of modern Rueda, a white wine based upon the Verdejo grape, a Spanish treasure that might have died out were it not for the steadfastness of one man: Angel Rodriguez of Martinsancho. For a time, Verdejo often was mixed with Sauvignon Blanc, which more or less covered up the true character of Verdejo. These days, many blend it with Viura, not a sin in itself. But the character of Verdejo is very much worthy of its own expression.

Usually, this means treating it like Sauvignon Blanc, emphasizing its tangy, somewhat herbal citrus notes. But the grape can carry oak too though few are committed to such versions at present. Solanilla is one of those few: it's barrel fermented and aged eight months in new French oak, showcasing the richness and texture of Verdejo.

For me it's like if Rombauer and Louis Latour had a baby. You get the richness of the Cali Chardonnay, yet the liveliness of the Burgundy...all wrapped up in a Spanish Verdejo.

On sale through Friday! Let's do this!
