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!

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.

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 😁

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!

Yes, I do love this label...but I love the wine even more.
Pabellón cruised into Top 20 best selling wines of 2021 and we only mentioned it in an e-mail one time. Once. That means the people that were buying it kept buying it over, and over, and over again. I think they love it as much as I do.
So when it made a splash into the Wines of the Year sale more people started picking it up and now it's getting interesting. We received a bunch of e-mails over the Holiday to our inbox with a photo of this bottle with things like "Do you have more?!" and "When will this be on sale again?".
Well folks...we aim to please. So this week we are putting Pabellón back on sale through the end of the week. It's your chance to either see what you've been missing out on or grab a six pack to get you through January 😂
It makes sense this wine is so delicious.
The powers behind Bodegas Lo Nuevo need no introduction to our customers; we have followed them for several years now. Why? Because they have a remarkable set of vineyards in many of the sexiest parts of Spain, and because they always bring some crazy value to it.
This is a fairly new project for them, but like others they own, it consists not of a large family holding but is a collection of small plots, each planted 15 to 60 years ago. This is the most elevated region of Rioja, the Alavesa, where calcareous clay soils necessitate a reliance upon Tempranillo and where winemakers Bartolomé Abellán and Sara García rest this 100% Tempranillo in French oak for 10 months.
I know what I'm drinking tonight! Let's go!

Is it really two days until Christmas?!?!
*Please note - this sale goes through midnight on December 26th, and while we are closed December 25th, you can order online if you need to use that new gift card you received 😊
Now - on to why the sale is happening.
There actually was a wine that should have been in our top wines of the year sale...but you guys bought it all and we didn't have any to sell!! That has now all changed with the arrival just in time for Christmas of the Larme Rosé!
Why is the wine so special?
Well, 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.
Larme has all this and more in spades.

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir for less than $20? Yes please!
We ran this deal back at Thanksgiving as a "holiday sale" right before Turkey Day and based on the requests for us to run it again, apparently it was a hit!
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 (it was out of stock this year January until September!).
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) and for my money, one of the best under $50 Pinot Noirs on the market today.
So here we go - holiday sale #2!!

Ahhhh, Chappellet Mountain Cuvée...at the lowest price in the US. Santa Claus has delivered a little early this year!
Chappellet Mountain Cuvée has long been one of our favorite wines, and any time we can get it down to near $25 there is an absolute feeding frenzy.
Why, do you ask?
Because it functions well above its price class. But maybe most importantly, because people just love the wine. They do. There are a million other wines out there at this price point, but this wine always makes people happy. And that’s a pretty cool thing.
It probably helps that the blend has a little something for everyone - 44% Cabernet Sauvignon,
33% Merlot, 10% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc.
So let's get to it people. It's the last Saturday before Christmas - that means you're gonna need some wine by the end of the day!

Are we really basically one week away from Christmas? Yowsa!
For me, one of the wine highlights of 2021 was finally getting the opportunity to present Il Fauno to you at below $25. We have been working to make this happen for years, and the stars finally aligned for us this fall.
Why do we think Il Fauno is the super tuscan to end all super tuscans?
Is it that good? The answer is undeniably - yes.
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 pop a bottle tonight on this wonderful holiday weekend. Celebrate yourself, celebrate your family, celebrate your friends and celebrate all we have to be thankful for!
TGIF!

In a world of ever increasing prices, it's nice to know that some things never change. Case in point, this absolutely epic Rhone offering from Bernard Chamfort. It hit its stride this time last year, and it hasn't looked back since.
What is the deal?
For starters, I drink A LOT of Rhone wine (is that a bad thing?). Well, you know, not like too much "a lot" but more like just the right amount of "a lot".
I love Chateauneuf du Pape, Cotes du Rhone, Cornas, Gigondas, Hermitage...I love it all. So when a wine like this comes along that tastes as it does, and only costs $12.99, I get super fired up. This could easily pass for a $50 Chateauneuf du Pape. It's that good. Heck, there are even some places that sell the entry level Cotes du Rhone from Bernard Chamfort for more than we sell this dream bottle (check it out here).
You may start by asking, why is this place called God’s Plan (Plan de Dieu)? Isn’t that a bit presumptuous?
Well, the tale is told that the name harks back to the Middle Ages, when walking across this wide, bandit-infested forest and scrubland was like committing your fate to God. But now it’s mostly vines on red clay and alluvial pebbles and cobbles. Nothing but red wine here, from the usual suspects of Grenache (mostly), Syrah and Mourvèdre. But like its neighboring Côtes du Rhone Villages, Plan de Dieu’s reds are made more complex by the regional garrigue, the aromatic Mediterranean flora, particularly bay, thyme, and lavender.
While some New-Worlders just can’t wrap their heads around the idea that the nearby plants might add something to the wine, it seems pretty basic. If you can stand in the vineyard and smell those other plants, then some of those aromatic molecules are in the air, on the grapes and end up in the wine. It helps to have skilled and experienced winemakers too - The Chamfort family is a fourth-generation winery, with about 100 acres of vines in Sablet, Rasteau and Vacqueyras, as well as Plan de Dieu, where the bottles are embossed with the AOP’s insignia of grapes with a halo over them. Hmm. Maybe greater historical accuracy would have meant a bandit’s mask and a knife sticking out of the cluster, but they didn't ask us for our opinion on this one.
I know what I'm having tonight. You?

Pine Ridge Napa Cabernet is the gift that keeps on giving in 2021.
They closed out their 2017 to us back in February and based on the success of that offering, they gave us a chance at 150 six packs of their 2018 at the same low price. We blew through that in 4 days, and I am pleased to report that they have returned to the well, and wanted to move some juice for the Holidays!
We started with 1,344 bottles right before Thanksgiving and now that we are finally able to get a newsletter out, we sadly only have 318 bottles left at this price 😢
As we have mentioned before, if you’ve never heard of Pine Ridge, they make some killer Cabernet from some of the most premier real estate in Napa Valley. I included a map of some of their neighbors below, but their neighbors include names like Realm, Shafer, Stag’s Leap, Cliff Lede and Kapcsandy.
Perfect for the Holidays and just general merriment! You guys know what to do!

Back on December 6th we got some not so great news about maybe THE breakout white wine star in 2021 for us. The e-mail read:
"I just heard from our supplier and Tatiana Guillot will not be making Macon Villages for 2021 the harvest being so small. I am sorry for the inconvenience but Loire and Burgundy will be very complicated this year. Tatiana Guillot yields were down 47% on the year."
So the 187 cases we have of this epic white Burgundy (100% Chardonnay) are all we will be getting until 2023 👀
If you love this wine as much as I do - you have been warned!
What have we told you about this gem?
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 below $15.00.
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.
So get while the gettin' is good! Happy Monday everyone!

YOUR Top Wines Of The Year!
SALE Runs Monday December 6th - Friday December 10th, 2021
5 DAYS ONLY!
ALL WINES OFFERED AT THE LOWEST ONLINE PRICES IN THE USA!
Honestly, we use the above picture every year and I'm really not sure it has anything to do with wine...but we just love it. At this point I can't bring myself to use another picture 😂
Anyhoo...
Do you really need Wine Spectator or some other publication to tell you the best wines of 2021? We don't think so... When we started this company over 15 years ago, we trademarked the line "You're the expert", and we did so because you like what you like and in the grand scheme of wine drinking, that's all that is important. So, in the spirit of "You're the expert", for the 10th year in a row, we are going to let YOU do the talking. We have taken your 20 favorite wines at winestore. for 2021 - using total bottle volume as the deciding factor. We've given those that have not been in stock all year a shot at the list by looking at monthly run rate compared to the top 20. You know, it's all very scientific and stuff :)
Why 20 wines? Why not!
All these wines are on SALE, by the bottle, for the next few days - and ALL at the lowest online prices in the nation! We love you all THAT much!
These are the wines you and your friends have been gobbling up at record speed this year! They are in no particular order (you know, we hate lists and such things) - so enjoy!

SAVE 81%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!
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.

This blend of Picpoul,Terret, and Colombard is so tasty, so refreshingly crisp (but still weighty enough to matter) and, dare we say it, a freaking value that it practically crawled into our bag and said take me home the first time we tasted it.

It's no surprise that I love Snowvale Cabernet. It's classic California; ripe fruit, full-bodied, hints of spice, firm tannins, and an intense yet balanced finish. The surprise is that it's only $13. This is one to buy by the case. Don't tell your friends how much you paid.

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.

Recently Almansa has been considered to be hot for high quality wines, but a century ago Almansa produced high quality wines, albeit at that time they were sweet ones. They used Alicante Bouschet, but today they call it Garnacha Tintorera, they nixed the sweet, and they mix it with 30% Monastrell to make this wickedly powerful red wine.

"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.

Rosé is the tipple of the tempting whether we are in Touraine, Tempe, Tuscaloosa, Tuscany or Saint-Tropez. Provence, the archetypal French vacationland, is the poster child for what modern rosé ought to be. Pale, quenching, lip-smacking.

After killing it with the AVERÆN project in Oregon, the Banshee gang is hard at work again in Washington. They’ve grabbed some vineyards in Walla Walla Valley and we’re smart enough to snag some of their early efforts. There’s not a lot of Sauvignon Blanc grown in these spots, but what is there produces wines like this one: poised, more bright melon and citrus - just the way it should be.

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.

The vast vineyards of France’s Languedoc hold many well-known grapes, including Chardonnay that is friendly and accessible.

Napa Valley Cabernet on Deal? It's a Christmas Miracle!

As with everything in the world right now, Napa Valley Cabernet is in short supply. While it is caused by mother nature, and not supply chain gridlock, the Napa Valley Cab supply problem is as bad as we have ever seen it. Many producers are starting to tell us they are running out of product, and their next release is not until September of 2023 👀
That makes opportunities like this all the more exciting for us. When we see them, we jump at the opportunity!
You may recall the Silenus flagship wine we offered you a few weeks back. 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 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 let's enjoy this Napa Valley deal while we can! You guys know what to do!
TGIF!

The deal train continues to roll into December, and this is one of my favorites!
Long time Central Coast winemaker Gregory Ahn knows where the good stuff is, and he has sourced grapes from three ranches across coastal Central California, from Santa Barbara to Arroyo Seco to Monterey, from Grenache (61%), Syrah (36%) and Mourvedre (3%). Each of those valleys or valley-defined areas, share something in common, whether we’re thinking about Santa Barbara or Monterey: the valleys run east and west, instead of north and south (think Napa; think Sonoma, think Bordeaux; think many wine valleys). That makes it more Pacific influenced, colder, certainly, more dramatically colder in the afternoons. That lengthens the growing season and improves intensity and balance. Or so some of us believe.
This particular bottling was actually founded by the iconic Joseph Phelp's winery (hence the name) and was sold to it's current ownership group along with the vineyards back in 2008 (remember what was going on then :)
As far as we can tell the quality level has not skipped a beat, as this 2018 is an absolute show stopper.
If you've got someone in your gift universe who loves to google the bottle of wine you bought them to see how nice it is - this is the one for them! They will think you paid $50 and the quality is sure to impress. Client gifts, anyone? 😁
Happy Thursday!

Our "Go To" Holiday Sparkler!
11.30.2021
Raffaello Rosé Prosecco
Release Price: $15.00

SAVE 33%
Lowest Online Price in the US!
*Curbside Pickup Always Available!*
Our "go to" sparkler for anything and everything Holiday this year (including last week at Thanksgiving), is Raffaello Rosé Prosecco.
Not into the pink stuff? Well, when it comes to sparkling wine pink is prime time. There is a reason almost all rosé sparklers cost more than their non pink counterparts. Don't believe me? Go take a look at benchmark Champagne Dom Perignon. The rosé is nearly 2x the price of the regular cuveé!
Anyhoo...let's get back to Raffaello. What's not to love about this party wine?
It's organic - impress your friends!
It's crisp - easy drinking is the way to go!
It's dry - let's leave it at that...
The price is right - $9.99 per bottle. That is not a typo.
It literally is firing on all cylinders.
How did this wine land at our doorstep?
You may not have heard the news last year (HERE), but the governing body of all things Prosecco decided that the two hottest wine trends in the global wine trade were about to be married - Prosecco and Rosé.
Many publications came out with their suggestions (like the WSJ, HERE), but we saw absolutely zero rosé Prosecco being offered under $10. Maybe we should have expected that given the expected demand, but we needed to look harder.
Enter Raphael dal Bo.
So Raphael dal Bo is a real guy, born and raised in Conegliano, the beating heart of Prosecco, the place that still produces the indisputably best version of the Glera grape that gives us this absolutely cheery bubbly. That certainly explains why he was the first to receive organic certification for his Organic Prosecco and why he remains solely focused upon Prosecco still today.
We've been selling his Raffaello Prosecco for the last three years, and it continues to absolutely dominate the value sparkling / Prosecco category. He contacted us and told us that he had a Rosé Prosecco in the works, and would we be interested in trying it.
Of course we would. And the wine was insane.
Now with the Holidays in full swing, you all are still currently the only people in the United States, and some of the first people in the world, to taste this tasty treat!
Let's get to it!
