Lowest Online Price in the USA!

Sale runs Thursday February 1st - Sunday February 4th, 2024

Reminder We open at 9am Thursday - Saturday!

I anticipate today could create the single fastest selling sale item in winestore. history. No joke.

Why do I say this?

The fine folks at Foley Family Wines came to us three weeks ago with a deal. Could we move some product, at the lowest price ever offered on said product, with the sale coinciding with the end of dry January.

We were like "Yeah, of course, what is the wine...???"

They were like "How does Kingstree Proprietary Red for $12.99 per bottle sound"

👀

Needless to say this is a back up the truck, we are all in, type of situation we have now found ourselves in...

Nearly 250 ratings on Vivino with an avg. purchase price north of $25, it is almost impossible for me to tell you how pumped we are about this one.



This Cabernet blend has been a staple at our store for a long time, and at $12.99 it represents the type of value that even the pickiest wine drinker can get behind.

I'm in for a case. The record for the day is 4,000 bottles. I'm predicting it could beat that number by more than 1,000. Price is right rules.

Let's do this!

Think of Le Volte as if Opus One made a wine you could buy for $22. That's the level of quality and thunder the winery behind this gem brings to the picture. Their famous Ornellaia brand currently runs nearly $200 per bottle and their flagship Masseto currently sells for an eye watering $700 per bottle. These people know what they are doing 😊

What makes the wines so great?

Bolgheri wines are powerful, compact, hard, okay, they’re most often hard and in need of cellaring, but they can have balance. It all comes down to climate – if you are too close to the sea, you will rarely ripen those vicious, vindictive tannins. Ornellaia is in a sheltered spot where the sun can radiate, and where the ocean winds can’t quite penetrate, and Bordeaux varieties can attain deliciousness, complexity and age-ability, especially in the hands of Ornellaia (and Masseto) winemaker Axel Heinz and his team. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are fermented separately and then blended to be aged in concrete and oak. 2021 is a keeper, with freshness and richness in equal measure.

So today we've got iconic producer paired with the lowest price in the US. Questions? 😁

I know what I'm drinking tonight!

I can't say for sure if this is the wine Taylor Swift was spotted drinking while celebrating the Chief's win last Sunday, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was...

How does a wine sell more in our store than Mer Soleil, Quilt, and other big names and it was promoted and or on sale just one time since June of 2022?

It's because this is the ultimate "If you know, you know" red wine. It also was behind one of my favorite lines from a recent Caymus blind tasting where a customer circled the number that was Pabellon and just wrote "If this isn't Caymus, I want a case..." 😁

What makes this wine so good?

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.

So here we go - on sale through Sunday.

Let's do this!!

In the last 3 years we have sent out only 3 newsletters mentioning Austin Hope "Austin", and that may be all they need. Just based on those 3 mentions you all have purchased over 40,000 bottles of this stuff. 👀

Like what is going on here?

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

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

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

So this may be a "if you know, you know" type of wine...and now we all know.

I know what I'm drinking tonight!!

The hype behind our #1 selling Sauvignon Blanc in 2021 and 2022 finally caught up with the inventory at the winery, and this wine has been out of stock since January of 2023 👀.

So to celebrate the return of Cape Charles Sauvignon Blanc (this time from France!), we're putting it on sale all weekend and letting the good times roll.

What makes this wine so great?

The gang behind Valkyrie has pretty much carved a space out for themselves; their California efforts have fueled their successes beyond their humble start-up and now, after killing it with the AVERÆN project in Oregon, they’re hard at work in other parts of the globe.

Their first Cape Charles Sauvignon Blanc hailed from some vineyards in Walla Walla Valley, and now they've turned to Gascony to use its embarrassment of riches in this delicious treat.

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. What’s fun here is that these same winemaking methods generate something bright, dry and vibrant - needing only an ice bucket and a big glass for full enjoyment.

If this wine was your jam (and based on sales of it only being back in stock for 5 days that is a lot of people), then your boat has come in!

Attention Chardonnay lovers...

Did you know we carry Sonoma Cutrer Russian River Ranches Chardonnay for only $16.99?

Over the years we had been including Sonoma Cutrer Russian River Ranches Chardonnay in some sale events at $16.99 per bottle and the wine was absolutely flying off the shelves. Then, three years ago we were like "why don't we just make it $16.99 every single day?"

So we went ahead and did that 😁 

We absolutely love low prices and we absolutely love you guys, so this only made sense.

Since then, this wine has been CRUSHING IT.

So save over 41% off the release price, and 19% off Total Wine, any day you want to...because that is just how we roll.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

This is a wine that we tasted in February last year, absolutely fell in love with it, and due to demand it only just showed up in December!

I am here to tell you, this is the best white wine you've never tasted. Hands down, no question about it, it is going to rock your world.

The real question is, what is going on here?!?

Well.........

Lionel Gosseaume, the son and grandson of winegrowers, grew up in his family’s vineyard, but moved away. In 2007 he decided to return but needed some vines of his own. So he bought some from a family friend, and Jean-Claude (the friend) still lives and works on the property today, because he knows those vines better than anyone.

This sweet little vineyard is located in the Loire Valley, halfway between the famous mansions, Chateau Chambord and Chateau Chenonceaux (the kind of Chateaux you see in movies). Most of the vines are a quarter-century old, on clay and silt soils, locally called “sables de Sologne”; Sologne used to be Louis XIII’s hunting grounds, but Sauvignon Blanc is more planted in the region than hunting blinds today.

The Sauvignon Blanc here is complex, crisp, dry and aromatic. It has all the hallmark qualities people look for in more expensive Sauvignon Blanc (hello Sancerre?), at a fraction of the price.

So say hello to your new house white wine for 2024!

I know what I'm drinking tonight!

Michael Mondavi is inarguably one of the most dynamic individuals in the wine business; no wonder, since he's the son of legend Robert Mondavi. Emblem, one of his latest projects, offers the opportunity for his two children to guide and shape blends of fruit from throughout Napa; this is 90% Cabernet blended with 5% Petite Sirah and 5% Petit Verdot.

Yes, this is delicious wine - but it's also Napa Valley Cabernet....and honestly you just don't see Napa Valley juice for under $25 much anymore. So this wine gets me excited on multiple fronts!

Only downside, as you all know, is the best deals come with the most limited quantities. 

Just 65 cases available - given it is a holiday weekend, my guess is they will be gone by Saturday.

Let's do this!!

Top 3 From Silver Oak Blind Tasting:
1. Snowvale Cabernet
2. Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon
3. TIE Brooks Bank Cabernet & Cape Charles Cabernet

The #2 wine in last weekends Silver Oak Blind Tasting also happens to be part of a one time deal we were able to negotiate in December - and that deal is now over.

So what we have left of the 2019 Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Sonoma Cabernet is all we're getting at this price - so get while the gettin' is good!

As we told you in December, this is the lowest price we have ever offered on Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon. In fact, I checked every single wine newsletter I subscribe nationally to going back to 2008 and the lowest price I could find going back over 15 years was $34.87.
 
Paul Hobbs is unquestionably one of the guys who gives the term “flying winemaker” a good name. He might be an American but his work in Argentina has helped set that entire country on a quality course that has steered it for three decades now. So it might be expected that his California blended wines are just as reflective of his skill and savvy. Think 100% Sonoma Cabernet that is juicy, round and powerful.

I think after all the weather craziness yesterday I'm gonna treat myself to a bottle of this tonight...and then maybe grab a few for the weekend too 😁

Saturday was the largest crowd we have ever had for a blind tasting, so I think people were ready for the SIlver Oak Blind Tasting to return! 😂

The best selling wine in the entire store since we picked it up in 2018 has finally been crowned king of a blind tasting, and I can't say I'm super surprised. This vintage of Snowvale, in my humble opinion, is the best they've ever made.

So to celebrate this achievement we're putting it on sale for $9.99 per bottle through Sunday!

In the last 7 years this wine has been on sale at this price just 6 times. You read that correctly.

Each time was like a feeding frenzy. Like we literally could not keep the wine on the shelf.

It was chaos. Controlled chaos, but chaos nonetheless.

Why is that?

Snowvale at $9.99 represents a pretty unreal value. As we've told you before, there are even stores in NC selling this wine for $31! (Picture below)

In an ocean full of uninspiring Cabernet at this price point, Snowvale just works. Tuesday night Tacos? Boom. Wednesday night burgers. Done. Saturday night Netflix. But of course. (anyone watching anything that is must see?)

So let the mayhem begin!

Happy Tuesday all!

LAST CALL on this second label icon...🤯

01.05.2024

2018 Le Comte de Malartic

Release Price: $40.00 
winestore. Price: $24.99 (net)

Every now and again a wine shows up, it's the first time we have ever carried it, and it just takes off like a rocket ship.

2018 Le Comte de Malartic is just that wine.

Napa winemaking icon Jayson Pahlmeyer had a quote about second label wines (specifically about the Jayson red blend that was his $50 second label to the $150 Pahlmeyer Prop Red) that I love. He said "“The Jayson goes into the same brand new French oak barrels [as the main label, Pahlmeyer], has the same barrel-aging regimen, same blending, same care and dedication from my winemaker,” Pahlmeyer explains. “It’s 90 percent of the quality at 50 percent of the price.”
 
90% of the quality at 50% of the price is a standard I can get behind.
 
One of the best wines I tasted in 2023 was the 2018 Chateau Malartic La Graviere, but at $59.99 that is not in my weekly wine budget.

Their second label, 2018 Le Comte de Malartic, is squarely in my weekend wine budget though!
 
In 2018 for this wine, we’re talking about almost the exact same grape blend, same vat period, same vinification methods, and really the only difference being yields (the Comte is from some of the younger vines on the Estate that have higher yields), and aging time - the Comte sees 15 months vs 18 months for the big boy.
 
After tasting the wine I think Jayson Pahlmeyer is pretty spot on.

Is it as good as the flagship wine? It is not.
 
But at $24.99 vs. $59.99 it suddenly becomes probably one of the 5 best sub $25 wines we carry in the entire store.

It reminds me a bit of a wine called Mas Doix Salanques from Priorat. Not in that they taste the same, but Salanques was a second label to the $100 Mas Doix, and at $29.99 it was not only delicious, I have bottles that are now 20 years old and still taste fresh and young. As a collector and wine lover, finding $25 wines that can go the distance is part of the fun!
 
No other bottles of this vintage are currently for sale in the United States.

Wine.com does have the 2019 vintage available for $34.99 per bottle.
 
A great wine for your cellar / wine fridge, for this weekend, or just because.

All that said, I know what I'm drinking tonight!

Taste Silver Oak Blind vs. $25 Rivals!

Saturday January 6th, 2024
9am - 8pm
All Day Long!!

Featuring 2019 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet

It's time for the 15th Silver Oak Blind Tasting.

It is BACK.

The blind tasting that put our blind tastings on the map, is making its first appearance since January 23rd, 2020 👀. Which might as well have been 8 million years ago 😂

It's the tasting that brought you winners like Rockus Bockus ($12.99), Gun Bun Mountain Cuvee ($14.99), Ca' Momi ($7.99) , BR Cohn Silver Label ($18.99), Treana Red Blend ($24.99) and more. It's the tasting that brings the stars of the wine world to their knees.

It almost seems unfair, I mean a Maserati is supposed to go faster than a Yugo, and a $60 wine is supposed to taste better than a $12 one. Right? Well, maybe not. A wine's success isn't measured in MpH, it's measured in the taste that is transferred from the glass to your mouth. If you don't know the price, can't see the label, and can't hear someone barking in your ear about the wine's "score," then all that is left is the juice and your taste buds. It's a scary proposition for any winemaker. That's why you have marketing departments that design catchy labels, create campaigns to build a wine's image, and spend all of their time and energy essentially trying to convince consumers that a wine is great. The problem is that you can't out "market" a blind tasting.

Only the 4th time EVER on SALE for $9.99! 😳

Happy New Year!!

For the 4th year in a row now, we are choosing one of our favorite wines and putting it on sale for one day only...oh, and our team has agreed to put the wine at the lowest price we have ever and will ever offer on the wine.

That's right...one time only, to kick off the new year right, lowest price we will ever offer. Please note - our stores are closed today, so you will need to order this online for either in store pickup or shipping.

The choice to kick off 2024 may end up being the best deal we have ever offered (43% off the Total Wine Price?!?!?), so I am inclined to believe that this will sell out before the sun even sets - as we only have 56 cases available for the entire state.

What's up with the wine?

Patricia Green was a legend in Oregon. Maybe not that many people knew about her outside Oregon, but within the community of Pinot Noir winemakers, Patty was someone you listened to because she knew so much. While she did some great stuff putting Torii Mor on the map, when she opened her own place in 2000, she was free to make even more amazing wines.

Okay, there’s a lot of wonderful Pinot in Oregon, but Patty Green rises far above the field and, though she left us a few years ago, her winery founding/winemaking partner Jim Anderson continues that legacy of greatness. The “Reserve” is almost entirely made up of barrels that were not included in a single vineyard bottling, but which allows Jim to create a blended wine of high-quality and consistency.

So in essence what you are getting here is single vineyard quality Pinot for $19.99 per bottle - which for those of you who love Oregon Pinot Noir (or Pinot Noir in general for that matter), you know that kinda doesn't exist in the marketplace.

So Happy New Year! 56 cases available - first come, first served!

It has become a tradition here that we take a moment at the end of each year just to say THANK YOU.

As we approach our 18th Birthday (what is happening?!?), 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 2024. We are humbled by the opportunity to serve each and every one of you, and we don't take it for granted.

Inflation and rising prices continued to be buzzwords in 2023, and we are proud to tell you less than 0.23% of all our products saw price increases this year.

Know this...here at winestore. you will always be getting the absolute highest quality product at the absolute best price each and every time. We will treat your money as if it was our own, and give you 5 star service each and every time.

All that said, 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 10am 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!

I anticipate today could set a sales record for bubbly here at winestore.

I absolutely do not know of any Champagne right now, and I'm talking true Champagne from France - the stuff that is made in Champagne, that retails for $24.99.

Like...it doesn't exist.

In a world where all we hear about are prices going up...we are pumped to be able to show you some prices going the other direction 🙌🏻

What's up with Guyot Choppin?

Jean-Nöel Haton makes numerous Champagnes; the Haton house is in the top ten of Champagne producers. But you wouldn’t know about it unless you lived in Champagne or were somehow deeply ensconced in the wine biz. This family has been making Champagne since 1928 and you should probably get in on it before the centennial in a few years when things are bound to get noisier and pricier. 

This particular blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier is absolutely delicious - and at $24.99 may represent the greatest Champagne value for sale in the United States right now!

Today only!

I know what I'm drinking this weekend!

$9.99 Prosecco Through New Year's Eve! 🎉 🤯

12.28.2023

Raphael dal Bo "Raffaello" Prosecco

Release Price: $15.00 
SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 33%



SALE runs through December 31st at midnight!

Lowest Online Price in the US!

Reminder we open at 9am today through Saturday!

In a current environment where even 1+ million case Prosecco operations like La Marca have had to increase their prices to nearly $14 per bottle at Total Wine, Raffaello Prosecco has proven to be maybe the best value Prosecco on the planet.

That may also explain why it is so hard to keep in stock!

So to celebrate its return we are running a sale at $9.99 per bottle through midnight on New Year's Eve!

Dare I say this is the best under $10 sparkling wine I have had? I'm willing to put that out there into the universe.

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.

But what is up with Prosecco in general?

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 if bubbly is your thing, this is a can't miss!!
