Anytime we can find ANY wine for less than $9.99 that is stunning, we get excited.

Anytime we can find 100% Cabernet for less than $9.99 that is stunning, we do the happy dance.

And stunning 100% Cabernet for $9.99 is exactly what we have for you today.

What's up with the wine?

The Mas family’s Cabernet is just as New World-ish as anything from California, but winemaker Jean-Claude Mas is one of those personalities in the Languedoc for whom winemaking is part of his heritage, after generations have built this large enterprise. For Mas, it’s still just as much a winery as a business, and it’s genuinely a passion, one that he came to after he jumped into his own businesses away from the family. Wine from around the world became a hobby and then he started an organic wine company in England – if you know any of the folks who’ve done that sort of thing, you know they’ve drunk the Kool-aid. He moved to Miami and started importing French foods and wines. Then he worked for years in Bordeaux and in 1995 was lured back home to Pézenas, which you should visit someday because it’s the charming birthplace of France’s greatest playwright, Moliere. The vines at this fourth generation estate start at around 1000 feet in elevation within an eighteen-mile long triangle, sheltered on the north by the Black Mountain, and sloping down to the Mediterranean, with the river Hérault as the eastern boundary.

While the wine may taste as big, ripe and delicious as something from California, you won't find anything from the Golden State that packs this much punch at below $10 per bottle.

So let's get to it people! Happy Tuesday!

One shot deal!

- HOLIDAY HOURS BELOW -

The wine business can be a weird place. Case in point, the deal we have for you today.

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

Guenoc and Langtry split up. Langtry owns the brand "Lillie's Collection". Guenoc owns the name "Victorian Claret". Potential problem?

Langtry continues producing the wine for BevMo but has to put "Red Wine" on the label instead of "Victorian Claret". BevMo says that doesn't work - now they don't want the wine anymore. Now we have a problem.

...and that brings us to your deal today.

We were able to take the entire production off the hands of Langtry, at an absolutely astonishing deal price and you can grab this beauty today for $9.99 per bottle.

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

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

So BevMo's loss is your gain - at least until we run out, as this is a one shot deal!

Happy Wednesday, and as always THANK YOU for your business!

This will be one of our best selling wines in 2021. Mark my words. It is that good.

We pride ourselves on trying to find extreme values here at winestore., but this one is potentially in a league all its own.

If you love Pinot Noir, I am here to tell you this is a dead ringer for high end Burgundy, and is utterly delicious for only $12.99.

My wife is very into Pinot Noir right now, so I tested my theory out last night. I poured a glass for her, went up to say a final goodnight to the kids and came back downstairs.

Wife: "That is exactly what I'd like you to bring home. How much is it?"
Me: "$12.99"
Wife: "No, seriously"
Me: "It's crazy, I know. But it's $12.99"
Wife: ***silence as her entire world shifts off its axis***

Funny thing here? This isn't Pinot Noir at all. It's Grenache... (this is where I would insert a funny emoji but I can't figure out how to do it)

Le Paria hails from the Cabardés region inside Languedoc, and a little town called Ventenac, in the rolling foothills of the Pyrenees. For France, this is warm climate viticulture though it is not so different from the southern Rhone Valley climatically speaking. In general, the Languedoc doesn't cool off in the same manner as the Rhone but Grenache is happily at home in such a sunny place. And the family is invested not only in their historical sites and vines on the side of Montagne Noire but also in sustainable viticulture (they’re members of Terra Vitis - link HERE). The vineyard is free of chemical inputs and the wine has no added sulfites; it’s aged only in traditional concrete tanks.

Grab a bottle to enjoy this evening! You've earned it!

Sale prices on these two wines extended through Sunday December 13th, 2020

- HOLIDAY HOURS BELOW -

Every year we try and pick a "Wine of the Year" and a "Runner Up" based on which wines had not only the largest impact on our business, but also seemed to have the biggest impact with customers.

If there were ever two wines that absolutely rocked our world in 2020, these are the two (and it's not like anyone really needed any rocking in 2020).

"Mountain-grown, it’s the richest kind,” as coffee commercials used to say, but it’s also true of Cabernet. Highland Falls mountain grown goodness catapulted it to our #1 selling wine since its release in July of this year...and it's not exactly close for 2nd place. It has a commanding 3,528 bottle lead through yesterday.

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

At $9.99 per bottle on sale, I sometimes think I may take for granted that quality of this level, at this price point, even exists....and that statement rings true for our runner up at $10.99 as well.

I've always loved Albariño, and Clos Delfines has become a benchmark for the brand - but never in a million years did I think it would take off as it has in 2020. This is also the first time ever a white wine has made it into the Top 2!

Sales of this crisp white with hints of green apple, pear and peach rocketed a stunning 3,920% this year (and no we did not sell just 1 bottle last year :)

I think though that our biggest takeaway from the success of these two wines is that there are still some stunning wines being made at the $10-$12 price point...and it's happening all over the globe. We've just got to keep hunting them down and bringing them your way.

Clearly you all love these two as much as we do - so the sale on these gems extends through Sunday!

Lastly, THANK YOU for your business. We would not be here without your support. We DO NOT take it for granted. We work hard to try and earn your trust, and hopefully provide you with some awesome wine you can share with friends and family.

We are honored and humbled by your support, and we hope to continue to offer you one the best wine shopping experiences in the United States.

So enjoy Highland Falls (I am in for at least a case!), enjoy Clos Delfines, and enjoy 2020 coming to an end and getting in the rear view mirror.

Cheers,
Your winestore. team

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. 

Anyhoo...

Do you really need Wine Spectator or some other publication to tell you the best wines of 2020? 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 9th year in a row, we are going to let YOU do the talking. We have taken your 20 favorite wines at winestore. for 2020 - 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! It was 16 last year, and we feel like everything in 2020 needs a little more positivity to it - so we added more wines :) 20 wines for 2020 just sounded right.

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!



2019 Lafage Miraflors Rosé
Release Price: $17.99
SALE Price: $13.89 (net)
SAVE 23%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Dry rose is the flavor of the moment, and southern France is the style's birthplace and homeland. A refreshing blend of Mourvedre and Grenache Gris, more complex than most any dry rose you've ever had.



2019 Snowvale Cabernet
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $10.99 (net)
SAVE 45%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

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.



2018 Sonoma Cutrer Russian River Ranches Chardonnay

It's Sonoma Cutrer - what more do we really need to say? Oak, Vanilla, butter - all that you expect from a great California Chard and then a little extra thrown in for good measure...

Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Pinot Grigio’s are all alike, right? Hmm, well, yes, often, that is true. But differences exist. For instance, Pinot Grigio from some of the top spots in the Friuli Venezia region can carry some weight and distinct minerality. Alto Adige, up in the foothills of the Alps (and higher), is the grape’s other sweet spot. Here the flavors become almost shockingly fresh, like you’re biting into a cold ripe grape you've just plucked off the vine.



2019 Ventenac "Prejuges" Chardonnay
Release Price: $18.00
SALE Price: $10.99 (net)
SAVE 39%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

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.



2019 Le Cabas Sauvignon Blanc

Gascony ain't just the Three Musketeers, though they have a place in our hearts as well. More than anything, Gascony is foie gras, delicious plums and apricots, rich dinners with Armagnac to follow. But the white grapes grown here are not just for great brandy, they have always been consumed as wine too and the last decade or so has seen an embrace of clean, cold winemaking to preserve the aromas of otherwise neutral grapes like Ugni Blanc or Folle Blanche. It's also seen new plantings of Sauvignon Blanc, a grape that requires no heroic measures to reveal its aromatic riches. Whats fun here is that these same winemaking methods generate something bright and vibrant but without much resemblance to other such Sauvignon Blancs (I'm looking at you, New Zealand), many of which have begun to seem like self-caricature. This one is comfortably itself, needing only an ice bucket and a big glass.

2018 Benieres Pinot Noir
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)

Fresh and fruity Pinot Noir from the Pays d'Oc, a region warm enough and varied enough to allow even persnickety Pinot Noir to find its happy place.

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.



2019 Clos Delfines
Release Price: $18.00
SALE Price: $10.99 (net)

Albarino is Spain's most successful white wine and Clos Delfines is a benchmark for the style: crisp, green apple, pear and peach skins.

Release Price: $31.99
winestore. Price: $18.97 (net)
SAVE 41%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Ken Wright’s single vineyard bottlings are among the most sought-after American Pinot Noirs. As important as those early wines were in establishing his reputation and that of the Willamette, his work today is light years ahead of those wines in both character and longevity. The Willamette bottling is, in some ways, the culmination of all that he has learned about Oregon viticulture.



2019 Escorlada

SALE Price: $17.99 (net) per bottle
SAVE 40%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Spanish wine is a bargain, right? It’s been that way for decades, though it’s only been in the last ten or fifteen years that the wider world has dropped some in their gullets and said, wait, this costs how much? Certainly, less than it should. It doesn't take geniuses to notice it, so we’re not making any claims to our own brilliance. In the case of this Garnacha Tintorera, we’re pretty sure we’ve found what may be the best sub $20 wine we have ever tasted. Spain has done it again!



2018 Kingstree Cabernet
Release Price: $25.00

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.

Put together a bunch of passionate kids (some with backgrounds selling wines for legends such as Eric Solomon and Martine Saunier) deeply immersed in the California biz and you can find some pretty tasty wines. That's what they did and that's what we have here.

Marlborough continues to be a great source of tangy Sauvignon Blanc, but increasingly it has more complexity than the usual that the country has produced.

The vast vineyards of France’s Languedoc hold many well-known grapes, including Chardonnay that is friendly and accessible. This one is gathered from organic vineyards on the Aspères plateau with its excellent marl and limestone soils. The winemaking is straightforward – stainless steel fermenters and just enough lees stirring to enrich the texture and flavors. We love finding wines like this!



2019 White and Sea White Blend

Lowest Online Price in the USA!

It’s surprising that grapes like Sauvignon Blanc aren’t more widely planted in southern France, as they can be harvested fairly early to retain bright and citrusy acidity without really losing character or even complexity. Maybe wines like this will encourage more winemakers to try working with crisp and aromatic white grapes in Languedoc-Roussillon.



2018 Kingstree Proprietary Red

SALE Price: $19.99 (net)
SAVE 56%

I'll be honest. Wines of this quality at this price are few and far between as vintners continue to try and stretch their prices further and further. It's a big and bold red from your friends at Pavilion...these guys know what they are doing!



2019 Mazet de Palombiere

This 100% Cabernet is full of dark berry flavors to offset it’s tough guy tannins. This is BIG wine for little money. It’s basically the wine equivalent to Patrick Swayze in “Roadhouse.” Best movie EVER.

This could easily pass for $50 wine...and it's $12.99!

I drink A LOT of Rhone wine (is that a bad thing?). 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 Chateuneuf du Pape. It's that good.

So what's the up with the wine?

You may start by asking, why is this place called God’s Plain? 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.

Only 168 cases came into the US this fall - and you have access to every one of them :)

TGIF!

We continue to recommend using our website (HERE) and choosing in store / curbside pickup, and we will walk your order out and place it in your car.

Y'all didn't think we were going to kick off December in a year like 2020 without absolutely bringing the heat, did you? You know us better than that!

We're going to be slinging deals all month long, and no better deal to start with than offering you the lowest price in the US on one of the most delicious white wines in our lineup.

We've given you the low down on Round Pond before. That they make legitimately serious Napa wines. That it’s a second-generation wine estate in Rutherford with more than 350 acres of central Napa Valley vineyards, along with 5 acres of organic gardens, 12 acres of olive orchards, and one of the only two olive mills in the region, all from a family dedicated to sustainable farming and production. And that before the winery opened in 1983, they used their substantial vineyard lands to supply many other, more celebrated wineries.

You don't typically find deals like these from wineries like Round Pond (hence why we are so excited), so take advantage while you can. $29.99 Sauvignon Blanc is not in my everyday price range - but $14.99? I can swing it!

Happy December!

Les Bassets in one short year has become
our best selling white Burgundy - and for good reason. In a world where
white wine from France is subject to 25% tariffs, value like this is
extremely tough to find.

On the flip side of that coin, Burgundy is like a vast field of
mushrooms: potential beauties are popping up overnight, seemingly out of
 nowhere, and they may be tasty or they may be just terrible; only the
experts know for sure. And maybe the word "expert" is too precious a
term; it’s more like the people who have wandered about and scavenged
the hills for years and know where the good stuff hides. Cary Potet is
an ideal example of hidden Burgundy; the label disappeared after being
imported by a small producer for decades. Retirement of the
owner/vintner was the simple explanation. Fast forward to today and the
wine is currently being made by a new family who similarly loved the
estate (particularly the Montagny we are offering today), its little
castle, and the wines it created. These folks, the Desfontaine family,
have been making wine for 12 generations at their own nearby estate in
the Cotes Chalonnaise. The family motto is ‘Ex Nihilo Nihil’: nothing
comes from nothing. But from hard work, delicious wine can be coaxed
from the old stones.

The concentration and fullness of their wines reach a level that exist
in only a handful of Montagny producers, none of which are producing
wines at this level of value.

As always, THANK YOU for your business. We work hard to try and earn your business each and every day, and I promise we do not take it for granted.

Happy Wednesday!

This may go down as one of the best red wine deals we've offered in the last several years, and it arrived just in time for the holidays (I love it when things work out like this!)

Make no mistake, this wine is absolutely INSANE for $12.99 per bottle. Like, this is a I kinda can't believe we're offering this at $12.99 and I'm taking two cases home for myself type situation.

What was the deal with the wine?

Pat Kuleto was one of San Francisco’s preeminent restaurateurs when he bought almost 800 acres in eastern Napa Valley (not a bad investment). Over the years, they established vineyard sites and started a winery that has since been gobbled up by the Foley empire, but that’s not a bad thing.

With wineries across the globe including Merus, Banshee, Chalk Hill, Roth, Lancaster, Chalone, Lincourt and EOS in California; Lucien Albrecht in France; and Dashwood, Mt. Difficulty and Grove Mill in New Zealand, Bill Foley has shown real zeal and smarts in his acquisitions. Foley’s wineries always provide first rate value and the Native Son bottling is definitely intended to over-deliver, offering more than the sum of its parts. Its parts? 27% Zinfandel, 22% Malbec, 20% Petite Sirah, 20% Merlot, 11% Tempranillo.

So if you're like me and love delicious red blends at the lowest price in the US, let's get to it!

As always, thank each and every one of you for your support during these crazy times. We couldn't do it without you, and we are humbled by the opportunity to serve you.

We continue to recommend using our website (HERE) and choosing in store / curbside pickup, and we will walk your order out and place it in your car.

Is it really almost Thanksgiving?!?!

That means it is time for our annual Thanksgiving Wine Sale!

This is, without question, the largest Holiday sale we have ever run (with some of the steepest discounts), and given that we decided to extend this annual sale an extra day just to make sure everyone can get in on the action.

In a world where we already work hard to guarantee you the absolute lowest prices, we are pulling out all the stops!! I mean, I am sorry but wines like Highland Falls for $9.99 boggles the mind in terms of the quality to price ratio.

2020 Thanksgiving is certainly going to be different (news flash - that may be the understatement of the year), but whether you are giving thanks in person or over facetime, we know we have so much to be thankful for!

As for wine? 2020 isn't going to change some things about the Holidays. It doesn't matter when or how you drink it - but we're 99% sure you're gonna need some vino over the next couple of weeks :)

That is why we are pulling out some hot deals on some of our favorite wines! All prices are good through Sunday, November 22nd! (no, they are not good on the 23rd)

It should also be noted that as always, there are going to be some insane "in store only" specials rolling.


2018 Highland Falls Proprietary Red
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

"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.



2019 Benières Chardonnay
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

The vast vineyards of France’s Languedoc hold many well-known grapes, including Chardonnay that is friendly and accessible. This one is gathered from organic vineyards on the Aspères plateau with its excellent marl and limestone soils. The winemaking is straightforward – stainless steel fermenters and just enough lees stirring to enrich the texture and flavors. We love finding wines like this!



Vellas COQ Cabernet Sauvignon
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $10.99 (net)
SAVE 45%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Over four generations of winemaking, the Vellas family have slowly assembled a strong group of properties in Languedoc and Roussillon (Mediterranean France). In beautiful sites like Mas du Pont (near Montpellier) they have created not only a vast set of vineyards but also farmlands, bull breeding, equestrian centers, olive groves and more. They pull from IGPs and AOPs (Euro-language for delimited and defined wine areas) such as Costiere de Nimes, Coteau Varois, Oc, Saint-Guilhem, Grès, Saint Drézery, Muscat de Lunel, Languedoc, Pic St. Loup and Faugères. With Cabernet spread out across these sunny and Mediterranean climes, ripeness and aromatics are both in strong supply.



2019 Escorlada
Release Price: $30.00
SALE Price: $17.99 (net) per bottle
SAVE 40%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Spanish wine is a bargain, right? It’s been that way for decades, though it’s only been in the last ten or fifteen years that the wider world has dropped some in their gullets and said, wait, this costs how much? Certainly, less than it should. It doesn't take geniuses to notice it, so we’re not making any claims to our own brilliance. In the case of this Garnacha Tintorera, we’re pretty sure we’ve found what may be the best sub $20 wine we have ever tasted. Spain has done it again!



2019 Le Cabas Sauvignon Blanc
Release Price: $20.00
winestore. Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Gascony ain't just the Three Musketeers, though they have a place in our hearts as well. More than anything, Gascony is foie gras, delicious plums and apricots, rich dinners with Armagnac to follow. But the white grapes grown here are not just for great brandy, they have always been consumed as wine too and the last decade or so has seen an embrace of clean, cold winemaking to preserve the aromas of otherwise neutral grapes like Ugni Blanc or Folle Blanche. It's also seen new plantings of Sauvignon Blanc, a grape that requires no heroic measures to reveal its aromatic riches. Whats fun here is that these same winemaking methods generate something bright and vibrant but without much resemblance to other such Sauvignon Blancs (I'm looking at you, New Zealand), many of which have begun to seem like self-caricature. This one is comfortably itself, needing only an ice bucket and a big glass.



2018 Waccamaw Proprietary Red
Release Price: $25.00
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 48%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Put together a bunch of passionate kids (some with backgrounds selling wines for legends such as Eric Solomon and Martine Saunier) deeply immersed in the California biz and you can find some pretty tasty wines. That's what they did and that's what we have here.



2019 Larme en Rose
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

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.




2019 Le Cabas Rosé
Release Price: $15.00
SALE Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 47%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Grenache is a remarkable grape with the ability to generate rich, dark and powerful wine when the crop yields are modest, but just as equally it can make vast quantities of pleasant wine, with less color but vibrantly fruity aromas. As a basis for rosé, it’s very nearly perfect, and it’s been the grape of choice for southern French rosés for a century or more. A touch of texture, some brief gratings of black peppercorns and lots of raspberries and strawberries.



2019 Clos Delfines
Release Price: $18.00
SALE Price: $10.99 (net)
SAVE 39%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Albarino is Spain's most successful white wine and Clos Delfines is a benchmark for the style: crisp, green apple, pear and peach skins.



2018 Kingstree Cabernet
Release Price: $25.00
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 48%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

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.



2019 La Petite Gargotte Blanc
Release Price: $14.99
SALE Price: $7.99 (net) per bottle
SAVE 47%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

The Comte Tolosan region encompasses famed wine regions: Jurancon, Cahors and Armagnac. Typically, the white wines are based upon neutral grapes like Ugni Blanc, Colombard, and Folle Blanche, or more aromatic grapes like Petit Manseng or Gros Manseng. While few of these grapes have distinctive personalities, if you put them into a harmonious blend, they can be pretty charming.



2018 Double Ripasse GSM
Release Price: $35.00
SALE Price: $19.99 (net) per bottle
SAVE 43%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre are happy bedfellows from anywhere, and the Vellas family has sites throughout Mediterranean France that allow balance as well as intensity to be achieved.



2019 White and Sea White Blend
Release Price: $15.00
SALE Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 47%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

It’s surprising that grapes like Sauvignon Blanc aren’t more widely planted in southern France, as they can be harvested fairly early to retain bright and citrusy acidity without really losing character or even complexity. Maybe wines like this will encourage more winemakers to try working with crisp and aromatic white grapes in Languedoc-Roussillon.

2018 Chazeaux des Beauchottes
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 60%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

In warmer spots in the southern region of Languedoc-Roussillon, Pinot Noir can prosper but only in the cooler sites. With Chazeaux des Beuchottes, these cooler sites help produce complex, bright and fresh Pinot Noir. At this price, we dare you to find better Pinot Value!

2018 Benieres Pinot Noir
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Fresh and fruity Pinot Noir from the Pays d'Oc, a region warm enough and varied enough to allow even persnickety Pinot Noir to find its happy place.



2018 Kingstree Proprietary Red
Release Price: $45.00
SALE Price: $19.99 (net)
SAVE 56%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

I'll be honest. Wines of this quality at this price are few and far between as vintners continue to try and stretch their prices further and further. It's a big and bold red from your friends at Pavilion...these guys know what they are doing!



2018 Orlaida Red Blend
Release Price: $25.00
SALE Price: $12.99 (net) per bottle
SAVE 48%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

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.



2019 Combeval Grand Cuvee
Release Price: $18.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 45%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

This wine’s aromatics are generated by the Sauvignon Blanc, always bursting with character whether under ripe or overripe; here it’s all green pear and melon. But Colombard can add significant texture; Gros Manseng might offer some tropical notes. Put them together and this is one of the true values that classic French wine regions can create.



2019 Bleu Blanc Thau
Release Price: $14.99
winestore. Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 47%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

This blend of Picpoul,Terre, 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. Say hello to your new house white wine.



Mata'Or Red Blend
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 35%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Among the diverse operations the Vellas family manages on their estates in Languedoc and Roussillon is an equestrian center and a “Manades” or farm where they breed Camargue bulls, bred solely for the "course camarguaise" (Camargue style of bullfighting). It’s not the bloody affair that we associate with bullfighting (at least, that’s the goal). In the arena, the bull gives chase with a dozen “razeteurs” (Camargue bullfighters) who try to remove a cockade that has been attached between its horns with strings. Not for the faint of heart. The wine too is a big, bold blend from the highly regarded Costiere de Nimes AOP – horns not included.




2017 Bodegas Lo Nuevo "Corasado"
Release Price: $25.00
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 48%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Bodegas Lo Nuevo has unquestionably modernized their winery; it’s practically a technical marvel now. But what makes these wines special is the place, Jumilla, with its intense weather. It’s tough ground for most grapes, but Monastrell (the French, who borrowed it from Spain, call it Mourvedre) and Cariñena (once again, a borrowed grape dubbed Carignan by the French) can thrive here.



NV Raffaello Prosecco
Release Price: $15.00
winestore. Price: $8.99 (net)
SAVE 40%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Until recently, for Australian producers (and others), Prosecco was a grape and not a place. Recent changes Italy made to how Prosecco is classified, by renaming the grape in these wines as Glera and deeming Prosecco a place and not a grape, mooted 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. Raffaello is by far, in a sea of Prosecco producers, the best value we have ever tasted.



2016 Mas de Corasado
Release Price: $75.00
SALE Price: $34.99 (net) per bottle
SAVE 53%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

A blend of Grenache, Syrah, Monastrell and Carignan, this wine is aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels and then bottled in what may be the heaviest piece of glass in all of winedom :)



2019 Boulée Cordot
Release Price: $15.00
SALE Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 47%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Syrah is planted throughout Mediterranean France, and has a strong reputation dating back to the mid-19th century when Bordeaux chateaux would blend a small amount into their wines to improve them. Alicante? It’s one of the rare Teinturier grapes, having red juice as well as red skins and in the right spots it can be powerful and juicy, not just inky. Together they make for a very modern, fascinating, if untraditional, wine.

I kinda feel like we are all in need of some good news lately...am I right?

So yesterday when Pfizer announced their vaccine candidate had a 90% efficacy rate, I know I was like "Finally, something positive!" :)

So we are going to keep the positive vibes flowing by putting our two best selling wines on sale! Now, when I say best selling, I'm not talking about these wines have sold a few more bottles than third and fourth place. Snowvale and Carmita are first and second - and then there are thousands of bottles of difference before you even get to third place. It's not even close. They are kinda like my own personal vaccine for getting through 2020!

So let's keep rolling with positive vibes only this week - and drink some awesome (yet inexpensive) wine while we are at it!

Happy Tuesday y'all!

After our rosé blowout two weeks ago one of our suppliers called up and had an offer...and just because they missed the big event, doesn't mean we are still not going to bring a deal this amazing to you guys!

This 2019 rosé from Puech-Haut (a blend of grenache and cinsault) is everything we love about dry rosé. The color, the floral and intense aromatics and the crisp flavors - it's firing on all cylinders.
 
It also makes it nice when we can bring it to you at the lowest price in the US by a long shot.

This is the lowest price we have ever been able to offer this gem. I mean, our lowest price in 2017 was $17.99!
 
So let's get while the gettin' is good. You may just need some wine to pair with election night :)

Happy Election Day!

Julien Fayard may be the hottest winemaker in California right now. After cutting his teeth at Lafite Rothschild and Smith Haut Lafitte, he moved to the US where he became director of winemaker for Philippe Melka before heading out on his own (solid resumé). He now maybe the most sought after winemaker in the valley - currently heading up projects like Mithra, Krupp Brothers, Sire, Purlieu and Casper Estate. You can see his whole portfolio HERE. The wines are all delicious, and like any great Napa Valley wines they are also all extremely expensive.
 
That brings us to our offer today.
 
We have secured one of Fayard’s top projects - Matthew Wallace Cabernet - at the lowest price in the US. This Napa Valley gem is sourced from both Regusci Ranch and the Wallace Ranch, and is from the uber hyped 2017 vintage. Release price is $65.00. We have it for you available at $39.99 per bottle.
 
These are the type of deals where the price / quality ratio hits a level where I have to do a double take.

You need something nice for Halloween? Let's do this!

We have been chomping at the bit to be able to release this deal to you guys - we just had to wait for the product to arrive.

This may go down as one of the top deals of 2020 - and that is saying something.

Let’s just state from the outset that simply because Cambria is a big and successful winery, owned by a bigger and successful winery (Jackson Family) doesn't mean that their wines aren’t interesting. How do I know that? Because Chateau Latour is a big and successful winery (more than 30,000 cases per year, by some accounts) and nobody seems to complain about that. And they too are owned by a bigger and successful company, Groupe Artemis, who also own restaurants, publishing houses, clothing companies and Christie’s, for starters.

So, can we dispense with the attitude that merely because Cambria sells a lot of Pinot Noir, it must not be very good. Think about that for a second. If they sell a lot of wine, they MUST be good, right? They have this new clonal project and it includes Clone 4 (most people call it Pommard) which they planted back in 1970. If I was making Pinot Noir and I had to pick a single clone to rely upon, it would be Pommard. It produces Pinot Noir that is deep, delicious and keeps you coming back for more.

At $12.99, which is the lowest price in the US by a country mile, this is a back up the truck type of situation. If you love Pinot Noir, do not miss!

End of Season Rosé Blowout / Closeout!

End of Season Rosé Blowout / Closeout!

October 20th - October 25th, 2020
ALL WEEK LONG!



It's that time of year! You might need some wine for trick or treating evening, or for the
upcoming Holidays, or for the upcoming election :) or just because...and rosé always seems like a good option to me!

Rosé has basically become a year round sensation at this point, but that doesn't stop our suppliers from being scared to have the product over the winter months. It's like they don't even know rosé is the ultimate Thanksgiving pairing!

Hey - their loss is your / our gain, as we took advantage of some end of season distributor closeouts and have, of course, passed the savings on to you guys. It's just how we roll. Oh - we're also bringing these to you at the lowest online prices in the United States :)

We continue to recommend using our website (HERE) and choosing in store / curbside pickup, and we will walk your order out and place it in your car.

2019 Larme en Rose
Release Price: $20.00
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 50%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

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.




2019 Le Cabas Rosé
Release Price: $15.00
SALE Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 47%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Grenache is a remarkable grape with the ability to generate rich, dark and powerful wine when the crop yields are modest, but just as equally it can make vast quantities of pleasant wine, with less color but vibrantly fruity aromas. As a basis for rosé, it’s very nearly perfect, and it’s been the grape of choice for southernFrench rosés for a century or more. A touch of texture, some brief gratings of black peppercorns and lots of raspberries and strawberries.




2019 Sun Summer Pink
Release Price: $25.00
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 48%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Truth be told, Grenache makes a reasonably tasty rosé but it’s never complete without some Cinsault. Why? Cinsault is floral, with red cherries and plums as the through line between the
two grapes. Syrah brings the strawberries and raspberries, but Cinsault gives to the blend a cranberry finish.




2019 Le Sens du Vent Rosé
Release Price: $15.00
SALE Price: $5.99 (net)
SAVE 60%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

It may seem oxymoronic but there is such a thing as the "best place for rosé wine." The Mediterranean coast of France has been making delicious pink wine for generations. Maybe it's
just because tourists everywhere need something that's easy to drink. Or maybe it's because sunny Mediterranean France creates wines that combine fruitiness and tangy refreshment.




2019 Lafage Miraflors Rosé
Release Price: $17.99
SALE Price: $13.75 (net)
SAVE 24%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Dry rose is the flavor of the moment, and southern France is the style's birthplace and homeland. A refreshing blend of Mourvedre and Grenache Gris, more complex than most any dry rose you've ever had.




2019 French Pool Toy Rose
Release Price: $12.99
SALE Price: $7.99 (net)
SAVE 38%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!

A wine bottle that is safe for the pool, beach, boat or basically anything summer related?! A rosé that is dry, fruity, full and just right?! I’ll admit I was skeptical that this might just be a little bit of a gimmick, but one taste confirmed for me these people have figured out exactly what I need!

Long time customers here at winestore. know that when we get a lower price, you get a lower price - it is one of the foundations of our business model. So we are pleased to tell you...

It's back! The most popular Chardonnay deal of Spring has come back out of nowhere, and we are ready to roll into the weekend with Frank Family Chardonnay for only $25!

Before this deal came back in spring of 2020, the last time we had Frank Family Chardonnay offered for less than $25 was June 9th, 2010. So a decade ago. Everything comes full circle :)

As for the wine?

Look, let's be honest; it's cool to bash California Chardonnay because it's too big, rich, and fat to go with food. Food, schmood. How about just admitting that big, rich, and fat wines like this one are delicious to drink? If you like Rombauer, Cakebread, Pahlmeyer etc., then this is a must try.
 
We're not ABC here at winestore. (Anything But Chardonnay). We're ABC - All 'Bout Chardonnay.

Our Best Selling Pinot Noir - They Make a Chardonnay too!

2019 Benières Chardonnay

Release Price: $20.00

SAVE 35%



Lowest Price in the USA!

We continue to recommend using our website (HERE) and choosing in store / curbside pickup, and we will walk your order out and place it in your car.

The winemaking team behind our best selling Pinot Noir, Benières, asked us mid summer if we would like to taste their new Chardonnay? It was the first time they were going to release it in the US (up until now it had only been sold in the EU), and they
wanted to send a sample bottle. I mean, yeah, of course we are interested!

Well we tasted it, and we loved it. In a world that is awash in inexpensive wine that doesn't taste so good, we love finding wines like this!

What makes it so special?

The vast vineyards of France’s Languedoc hold many well-known grapes, including Chardonnay that is friendly and accessible. This one is gathered from organic vineyards on the Aspères plateau with its excellent marl and limestone soils. The winemaking is straightforward – stainless steel fermenters and just enough lees stirring to enrich the
texture and flavors.

When third generation vintner José Maria Vicente took over Casa Castillo it was mostly a rosemary plantation. Now it’s arguably the best winery in Spain’s burgeoning Jumilla region, where many heralded wines are coaxed out of old Garnacha and Monastrell
vines. Casa Castillo is their entry level staple, with Monastrell planted on crazy-pure gravel soils and the wine treated as if it were Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

Our 2019 Wine of the Year - New Vintage On Sale!

2019 Escorlada

Release Price: $30.00
SALE Price: $17.99 (net)
SAVE 40%



Lowest Price in the US!

Sale runs Tuesday October 6th - Sunday October 11th, 2020

We continue to recommend using our website (HERE) and choosing in store / curbside pickup, and we will walk your order out and place it in your car.

The #1 breakout wine for us in the last 12 months has been Escorlada. I'm not sure any wine in recent years has put together such a great package, flavor, and price point.

So naturally we want to celebrate when the new vintage arrives, and we are doing so by putting it on sale the rest of this week!

What makes the wine so special?

Bodegas Lo Nuevo is crucial to the modern success of Spanish wine, especially wines from the Levante, the Africa-facing south. Here the Almansa region grows Garnacha, among other traditional Spanish red
grapes, but unlike the oxidized, alcoholic wines of yore, the new wines are bright and sunny with all the original fruits from the grape preserved. Lo Nuevo has few peers in this grand evolution from the
ancient and occasionally noble to something populist, fruity and modern. But they would be the first to insist that their success is conditioned upon old vines grown at high altitudes. Here the Garnacha is at nearly
3500 feet, where the otherwise relentlessly warm temperatures see nighttime cooling into the 40s.

These old garnacha vines produce BIG and RICH red wines that don't require the same price points as some of the California peers because, quite frankly, the costs to make them in Almansa are simply not as big
as they are in Napa.

So you're getting top quality stuff for very affordable prices. That may explain why the bottles essentially walk themselves right out the door :)

So I know what I'm drinking tonight - you may want to grab one too!

A couple of times this year we have gotten those "once in a" type deals as wineries continue to try and move product that was normally sold to restaurant channels.

This is one of those deals.

All across the California wine industry, Napa particularly, has been a place that attracted those wanting to fulfill their winemaking dreams and even if the businesses last a decade or two, they usually get bought up by someone else with more understanding and skills in the industry. Gus Anderson was one of the few who actually put in the hard work; sure, he was an orthodontist who decided to be one of those “hobbyists” but
Gus truly worked to understand and succeed in the business. Most importantly, he and his wife (and his son Todd) planted some extremely good vineyards and those vines are still chugging along and producing
great stuff, even if Gus is no longer with us (he passed away a few years ago). The winery to this day is still with the family, and those vineyards, and their decades of know how, are producing some absolutely
awesome wine.



So while inexpensive it is not, if you want a ridiculous deal on a Napa Valley icon to help get you through until
the election :) , you may want to grab a few bottles. I know I am!

Happy Wednesday!
