*Curbside Pickup Always Available!*

Lowest Price in the US!

We carry all sorts of French Sauvignon Blanc that could easily pass for Sancerre, but we have had a hard time finding the real thing at a friendly price. So when you can scoop up Sancerre from Domaine La Barbotaine (they are the real deal) for less than $25, you don't pass that opportunity up!

Every region has its champions, even if it’s unfair to single out particular producers when the ancient Sauvignon Blanc area has so many heroes. But the Champault family of Domaine La Barbotaine are one of those champions (they've been doing this for 3 generations); and in a vintage as lush as 2022, this is just plain fabulous.

So if you love Sancerre, love Sauvignon Blanc, love white wine, or are just looking to drink some great wine on a Friday night in summer - this is your wine.

As always, THANK YOU for your business - we absolutely love the opportunity to serve you!

TGIF!

Pabellón cruised into Top 20 best selling wines of 2022 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.

We even added it as a ringer recently in the Caymus Cabernet blind tasting and once customer said "If this isn't Caymus, I want a case..." 👀

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.

Is it the weekend yet?

Breakout Star at $9.99 has returned!

06.07.2023

2021 Chazeaux des Beuchottes

Release Price: $15.00
winestore. Price: $9.99

Maybe the breakout value star for us in the last three years has been Chazeaux. We sent you an e-mail about it one time in 2020 and you all clearly like what you tasted the first time you bought it. You came back for more and more in 2021 and 2022 to the tune of over 45,000 bottles (that's a lot of love!)

That kind of sales velocity matched with global supply issues sent the wine out of stock over and over again - but we think their US Importer finally has it figured out!

Prepare to buy your favorite inexpensive Pinot Noir with abandon.

Beuchottes hails from the Languedoc-Roussillon, a region of France where Pinot Noir can prosper, but only in the cooler spots. As you have probably guessed, the components for this little gem come from some of the coolest areas in the region. That said, the main goal here was to marry a traditional and elegant French style of winemaking while highlighting some of the vibrant complexity you find in larger reds from the Languedoc - and Beuchottes accomplishes that in spades.

Things I love include Pinot Noir, and great wines under $9.99. This is in my wheelhouse!!

Happy Wednesday all!

We've had several wines come back in stock over the last two weeks, and this is the one people have been asking about the most.

Mazet de la Palombiere (we just call it Mazet), one of the hottest selling Cabernets of the last 3 years is finally back in stock!

It almost feels like the winery can't keep this stuff on hand, so we are just going to continue to order as much as we can, as often as we can!

What was the deal with the wine?

We just said that while yes, this wine is insanely delicious for the price, this has to be one of the coolest bottles and packages I have seen on a wine in a long time.

The Cabardès region is part of the larger Languedoc-Roussillon AOC that for decades has provided cheap wine for Parisian cafes and big international companies to bring to global markets. But there is more here and the world is finally waking up to that. The soils are limestone and even gravel in spots; the right grapes hang from old, even venerable vines, and perhaps most importantly going forward, the landscape is dry and windy enough to allow for non-chemical winegrowing. Nicolas Vellas is one of the old-line guys who understands that and who has been buying selected sites to grow his Les Naturels de Nicolas Vellas wine portfolio. For four generations his family has collected great but forgotten vineyards. It’s time people started paying attention – that’s easy because at these prices, they’re easy to notice.

It is full of dark berry flavors to offset its tough guy tannins. This is BIG wine for little money and is basically the wine equivalent to Patrick Swayze in “Roadhouse.” Best movie EVER.

TGIF!

I know what I'm drinking tonight! (and I'm probably gonna watch Roadhouse as well...)

Le Cabas Sauvignon Blanc is back!!

Aside from the awesome packaging here (I'm a sucker for these bottles with the glass stoppers), this white wine stopped me in my tracks the first time I tried it. Over the last few years it has pretty much become the house white wine at our place, and every time I pull it out of the fridge and see this label, I think of this song...and that puts me in a great mood!

What makes Le Cabas so awesome?

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. What’s 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.

So if you're with me, and end of school has you thinking "Summertimes Calling Me" (or maybe you like this one too?), then grab yourself a bottle!

As always, THANK YOU for your business and support. It means more than ever!

It is powerful, poised and persuasive Cabernet and to put it frankly, stupid cheap for the money. Honestly, I wish this was one of those things that would never run out of supply.

Let's be honest. The first wine I bought a six pack of to get ready for the weekend was Larme at $9.99 per bottle.

In a world of seemingly never ending price increases, I would challenge anyone to find me a more delicious, more beautiful rosé for $9.99 per bottle. It simply doesn't exist. It's almost like I don't want the wine to get too popular because I need this deal to be available in the future!

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.

$9.99 per bottle. 5 more days. You can grab yourself a small stockpile to make it through the start of summer...or at least the first weekend of summer. 😂

Let's have a day on this Thursday, shall we?

Bonterra is as close to an OG among the wineries devoted to sustainability and true regenerative viticulture as any among American wineries. This single vineyard wine comes from a spot nestled between the shore of the upper Russian River and a blue heron nesting site and preserve; hence the name of Blue Heron Ranch. It’s Biodynamically farmed, and shows the sort of tangy cut that’s typical of Mendocino Chardonnay.

I know, I know, Zinfandel is the same grape as Italy’s Primitivo. But is it? Even the best Primitivo doesn’t have the fruitiness, the power, the sheer intensity of California’s best Zins. And how do we describe that fruitiness? I always find that it has something like more red fruits than black fruits, with a little hint of red currant jelly right at the end that is part of the easy friendliness of the grape.

The Famille Nadal wines come from the Côtes Catalanes, right next to the kingdom of Andorra and bordering Spain. Odyssée blends the sun-seeking and overt Grenache (65%) with the more peppery and earthier Syrah and, with the low rainfall that is typical in the area, this bears no small resemblance to some of the intense Spanish reds made on the other side of the border.

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.

A Bordeaux group making wines since 1949, Producta Vignobles, blends this crisp, tangy white from throughout the Bordeaux region, but especially from under-appreciated places like Bergerac. From Sauvignon Blanc with a trace of Semillon, this is the kind of steely, refreshing white wine that comprises a small but significant portion of what has made the Bordeaux region the centerpiece of French wine production. Charming, like the little “birdhouse” enshrined in the name, drink this well-chilled and with rapidity.

Swimbad White is a tangy, refreshing white wine from southwest France, an ideal source of seafood worthy wines. The Bordeaux region has been reliant upon Sauvignon Blanc for decades, that much is well-known, but other, less celebrated grapes have been crucial in Bordeaux. Colombard is a relatively neutral grape but, every now and then, in the right spot, the grape takes on texture and richness. Between the tangy citrus of Sauvignon Blanc and the weight of Colombard, this embodies both the classic style of traditional French white wine and the very modern pursuit of fresh fruity flavors.

Guenoc Winery Langtry Estate Lillie’s Collection Victorian Claret –The Langtry estate’s history is not just that it was planted by Lillie Langtry, a once famed and adventurous Victorian actress. The vineyard was nearly forgotten but rescued back in the 1970s by Orville Magoon. This is nearly two-thirds Petite Sirah – the grape was Orville’s obsession - with 35% Merlot and few points of Cabernet Sauvignon.

While it only stays in stock for small stretches at a time, if you're a Chianti fan like I am, this is a do not miss wine.

Castello Vicchiomaggio is a part of Tuscan history, even if that is a place that these days more often serves as a film backdrop or wedding venue than as the beating heart of a great wine estate. But they’ve always had the money to do really good wine, and indeed they have done that at times. It’s just that you have to stay on top of what they are doing if you want to get that really good wine. From the late 1990s a new family took over this nearly millennia old estate, and they want to be taken seriously – this wine is a good start; they would argue that they started moving towards excellence as soon as they took over. They may be right; nothing in wine is fixed: the great have their off vintages. The decent producers can suddenly do excellent wine. That’s our job: find them.
 
Agostino Petri Chianti Classico is Vicchiomaggio with a Riserva designation, Sangiovese with a dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon, and from a single, great vineyard. This wine is aged in the used La Prima barrels, and then aged in larger format barrels for another half year or so. This is the Italian way and these both reflect that heritage. But they also reflect how much Italy has changed in the last twenty years and how modern and exciting the wines have become.

So.......full bodied Chianti Classico Riserva for less than $20 from an epic producer? Yes, please!

Let's do this!

Happy Thursday!

Did someone say Bordeaux in a wood box for only $9.99? Yes, we did!

2020 Montassin Bordeaux

Release Price: $25.00

This gem of a wine continues to be the only wine that I have seen for $9.99 per bottle that comes in a beautiful six pack wooden box.

I mean, that kind of packaging is not inexpensive (hence the reason you normally see only very high end wines packaged this way). Heck, Justin Winery will sell you a 3 pack wooden box for $20.00 (HERE - the equivalent of $6.67 per bottle)...that is just the box.

But hey, what about the wine that is in the box, right?

Well, looking back on our 17 years of serving you (can that be right?), we have never carried much Bordeaux (it just gets too expensive relative to quality most times). In addition, I can't think of any offer we have made for a Bordeaux less than $25. Every time we taste them, they taste...well...they tend to taste cheap. Nobody wants to deal with that...

Enter Montassin...

- It's a traditional Bordeaux blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Petite Verdot and Cabernet Franc
- The wine comes with a deep, rich color but seems to focus more on elegance over power, all while losing none of the fruit character of traditional Bordeaux wine.
- It is incredibly delicious and clocks in at a very friendly 13.5% alc.

So we have a wine for 10 bucks that is packed in 6 pack wood cases from Bordeaux that brings the thunder in terms of quality. 👀

On SALE through Sunday!

We are constantly on the lookout for the next great value wine. You know, the stuff under $15 that really wows you.

To get to that destination though, we have to taste a lot of bad wines. Stuff that makes you think "Who thought this was a good idea?", the minute it hits your lips.

That said, on the flip side of that coin, there is a wine that makes you do a double take. You take one sip and you're kinda like "Oh, hello there...". Belleplane Red (and the Chardonnay for that matter), did that for us. It was one that we all taste at the same time and everyone kinda looks around at each other without saying anything to try and see if everybody is thinking "You gettin' what I'm gettin'...?"

What's up with the wine?

When it comes to red grapes, there are many in the Languedoc-Roussillon, an area that encompasses almost the entirety of Mediterranean France. But there are a few pockets of an unusual grape called Alicante Bouschet, one of only a handful of grapes that actually has colored juice (as opposed to the color coming from the skins). With 70% Alicante and 30% Syrah, and a half year or so in barrel, this wine is powerful, dense and chewy.

So if you've been looking for a new addition to your weekly lineup, we've found a good one for you today.

You guys know what to do!

Rombauer Chardonnay Blind Tasting This Saturday!

04.26.2023

Rombauer vs. Everyone Else Blind!

Saturday April 29th, 2023
11am - 8pm
ALL DAY LONG!

Guess Rombauer correctly and you get $8.00 in tasting credit!

Yes - we carry Rombauer Chardonnay - you can grab some by clicking here.

It's been a minute since our last Rombauer Blind Tasting...and I'm happy to report that one of the most popular tastings we host is back!!!

Important note here, Rombauer has NEVER lost this event. They've conquered every year and we have thrown every possible amazing thing we can at them! One thing I can tell you though, is this year will be the toughest competition yet. We are pulling out all the stops.

I mean, there are those of us who are absolutely sure we know the Rombauer taste, and could even pinpoint it blind. Are you with me on this? I feel like I could pick it every time. Here is our chance to put our Rombauer skills to the test!

The deal? Eight white wines will be blind on the machine - and to get through all eight wines will only be $8.00. One of those wines will be 2021 Rombauer Chardonnay and the rest will be a host of other wines that we think will give the butter and oak king of California a run for its money.

As we have done every year, an added incentive for all of you who are just super sure you can pick the Rombauer out in a lineup - should you be able to guess it correctly, we will put $8.00 back on your tasting card. That's right - you get to drink for free :)

It should be a fun tasting, so we hope to see all of you out this Saturday. As always, THANK YOU for your business. We love you guys!

We have to keep the deal train rolling into the weekend, right? And we've got a doozie for you today!

So what do you do when you're Charlie Wagner’s grandson (he made Caymus) and Chuck Wagner’s youngest son (he kinda helped too), and after you helped create Belle Glos and then Meiomi, you find yourself with a pot of money? I guess if you’re Joe Wagner, you start another winery. As a fifth generation Napa Valley winemaker, Joe had learned his way around a vineyard and winery long before he was able to drink wine. By the time he was 19, he was in it up to his elbows. In 2014, he took the big step of forming Copper Cane Wines & Provisions.
 
Copper Cane, his post Meiomi project (more like a succession of wineries) is sprouting brands like social media breeds conspiracy theories. Böen is one of his Pinot Noir obsessions (think Belle Glos) and the style is reminiscent of the Caymus mentality: lush, supple, ripe and rich.

So today we have:
- Pinot Noir from the people that brought you Belle Glos for under $20
- Lowest Price in the US
- It is Friday  😂

I know what I'm drinking tonight! TGIF!

One thing we've heard a lot over the last few weeks, is that people have been loving the list of crazy values available right now. It's almost as if you guys are just like me, and you can't get enough delicious $7.99 wine in your life 😂

So we're gonna keep the value train running, and one of my weeknight staples is pulling into the station.

I'm still amazed that value like this is floating around out there, and if we have anything to do with it that will continue to be the case!

Rioja, Spain’s oldest and best-known red wine quality region, is undergoing massive change, all of it good. New upstarts are challenging the old guard - and Bodegas Lo Nuevo is right in the mix. Their wonderful Rioja wines reflect the character of old vines from ancient vineyards, honestly and correctly made. Pocapita offers 100% Tempranillo, powerful, compact, and oh so easy drinking.

So if you're into wines that outdrink their price point, this is a must try. For me, Pocapita offers the perfect compliment to some of the deeper and darker reds in my lineup (I'm looking at you, Carmita). It's also at the price where I can grab a case, drink at home, bring over to the cookout etc.

You guys know what to do!

New Dry Rosé Arrival in a 1L Bottle!

SAVE 17%



Lowest Online Price in the US!

*Curbside Pickup Always Available*

When it gets this hot outside, it gets me thinking about swimming pools, beaches (not the movie), summertime, beach music and...of course...rosé.

While rosé has now become a year 'round beverage, it really shines and struts its stuff in the hot weather.

Enter the new 2022 Brunn Rosé - made from the Zweigelt grape...one you may not have heard of, but now you're in the know.

Karl and Godfried Steinschaden’s family has lived and farmed the land in Engabrunn for six generations. With traditional practices in the winery, and organic farming being adopted, they are all about how the past can inform the present. They own the oldest traditional basket press in this region, dating back to 1564 A.D. It was originally used by the Benedictine Abbey of Gottweig near Krems, but now is used in this crafty winery, north of the Danube, in Kamptal, to make a charming, pinkish expression of the vibrant Zweigelt grape.

Added bonus to all this? It comes in a 1 Liter bottle - so more bang for your buck!

Mid 80s across most of North Carolina today! I know what I'm drinking tonight!

We'll have some bottles chilled and waiting for you!

A $20 Cabernet you really need to try!

04.18.2023

2021 Gail "Doris" Cabernet Sauvignon

Release Price: $27.00 (Click HERE to see) 
SALE Price: $19.99 (net)
SAVE 26%



Lowest Online Price in the US!

*Curbside Pickup Always Available*

We tried Gail "Doris" Cabernet for the first time two years ago. It was a random sample sent to us a in box full of random samples, and all I can tell you is that for $20 this wine was on point. It was one of the best Cabernets we tried in all of 2021.

Added bonus? It is organic and 100% single vineyard fruit.

You all seemed to agree, as we ran out of the wine in 3 weeks. Second vintage came around - and it was the same story. Fast sell out, and delicious wine.

So today we super pleased to be able to tell you - the 2021 vintage has finally arrived!

You can read more about Gail Wines HERE, but long story short is this: Dan O’Brien is a working class Boston area fellow who fell into the wine trade via the restaurant biz. He moved to the Bay Area to help run a wine program at an elite restaurant and found himself next to restaurant and wine superstars who showed him the opportunities growing just up the road, and he eventually took the red pill and jumped in as a winemaker. 

There is plenty of stuff coming out of Sonoma and even more so Napa at 4x the price that I would put this up against...I'm not kidding, not even a little bit. It’s also rare to see single vineyard organic Cabernet offerings hit this price point.
 
If Cabernet Sauvignon is your thing, you’re gonna want to give this a try!

If Cabernet Sauvignon is not your thing, maybe try it anyway? I kinda think it's that good. One of those wines that everyone will like (famous last words...)
 
Happy Tuesday All!!

Paul Hobbs is unquestionably one of the guys who gives the flying winemaker a good name. His work in Argentina has helped set the entire country on the quality course it currently enjoys. His own wines have achieved cult status since launching in 1991.

So twenty years ago, he decided to produce wines without the lofty pricing of his own label. Crossbarn wines are made at an old apple processing facility in Sebastopol, California, and are essentially made like Hobbs top-flight wines, night harvested, hand sorted, fermented in small lots, long lees aging. The main difference is the low percentage of new oak and the mix of vineyards from the Sonoma Coast.

That is basically wine speak to tell you that the plan Hobbs developed here was to deliver outstanding value - and mission accomplished.

Lowest Price in the US! You all know what to do!
