Last time we were able to offer Bonanza at this price was pre-pandemic...so if there ever was a back up the truck type of situation, is this it?
Chuck Wagner and his family, as you probably know, are virtual dynamos in the California wine business. Joe Wagner, the grandson of Chuck Sr. (one of the great pioneers of Napa) produces Pinot Noir in Oregon. Chuck, his other son Charlie and daughter Jenny, continue to make Caymus the grand Napa benchmark that it is. So when he makes a tasty little Cab like this, it makes sense to buy some and enjoy it tonight.
It's Wednesday. It's made by the same people that make Caymus. It's $14.99 per bottle. Let's just keep it at that, shall we?
Happy Wednesday you guys!
Let's do this!

Release Price: $53-$105

LAST CALL!

When we bought this wine we assumed the product would last maybe 8-12 months. I now think we may have underestimated a) just how awesome this wine really is and b) how much you all love it.
Since this wine landed on August 1st, it has been our top selling wine every single day! I'm not sure a run like that has ever happened, and it appears to have no end in sight (at least until we run out of product).
So we are sadly here to tell you that Cape Charles is on its last few legs, just a mere 8 weeks after it landed. If you're like me, and you have one entire row of your small wine fridge devoted to this wine...we may need to bump that up to two rows now 😂
What makes this wine so special?
Easily our most popular product the last 3 years has been Cape Charles Cabernet. A label developed with Baron Ziegler (he's kind of a big deal, you can read more about him here) to take advantage of the high end left over juice, the results have been unreal. The label itself was lent to the project by artist Peter Curling - he's also kind of a big deal and you can read more about him here.
We started with Kamen Moon Mountain juice which sold out in just a few weeks. We then doubled down with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Leonetti in Washington State. After the Leonetti success we told Baron the next one had to be huge…and he delivered.
This 100% Cassata Vineyard Cabernet is the best wine he's released yet, and I'm not sure it is even close.
Where / what is the Cassata Vineyard?
Rancho Los Guilicos is the historical name for the Cassata family’s estate in prime Sonoma Valley territory. It’s part of the original Mexican land grant from the 1830s, administered by General Mariano Vallejo, and offered to settlers who would attempt to tame this wilderness.
Vallejo gave the grant to his sister-in-law who sold it in 1850 to William Hood; the local peak is named after him. It went through a few other hands before it was bought by Judge Carroll Cook, Superior Court Judge of San Francisco. This is when it becomes known as “Rancho El Nido” or “The Nest” and when Jack London and his love for the Valley of the Moon, as well as the Judge’s expertise with cocktails, enters the picture. London’s ranch was at the edge of the property; and Cook planted grapes to make wine.
There were only three owners through the 20th century. The Cassata family bought El Nido in 2002, and have since been dedicated to restoring its glory through bio-sustainable farming. They’ve even re-planted olive trees to make olive oil. They’ve focused the vineyard choices on the traditional areas and the grapes that belong there (like the Cabernet family) as well as grapes that have helped build its fame (like Zinfandel and Alicante Bouschet). This is the beating heart of historical Sonoma wine country!
As for prices - you’ll find Cassata Vineyard Cabernet anywhere from $53 to $105 per bottle. As far as I can tell, NEVER has this vineyard ever had wine in the 21st century that has been priced under $25.00.
You've been warned. Get while the gettin' is good!

A Top 3 Red Wine For 2023

Today is gonna be a doozy.
What's the deal?
How about what is easily one of the Top 3 Red Wines we have had this year - and it may be in the running for our Wine of the Year. 👀
So here is the story.
One reason we attended the largest wine trade show in France earlier this year was to try and find some Bordeaux that was extremely high quality but not outrageously expensive.
The whole Bordeaux market, especially with all the negociants involved, is like the wild west of wine trading. Lots of middle men getting their cut, and the same bottles passing through multiple suppliers before it ends up at the end consumer. All that leads to super inflated prices, and we needed to try and just go direct to the source.
Luckily, we found what we were looking for in Saint-Émilion superstar Jaques Bertrand.
I will challenge anyone reading this to find better Bordeaux for less than $75 per bottle. I’d even put this wine up against Bordeaux I’ve tasted in the $150-$250 per bottle range.
Saint-Émilion is the oldest area of Bordeaux and its Roman ruins are a frequent reminder. Still, when the region was getting codified, Saint-Émilion was left out – it was sleepy and nearly forgotten. That changed in the 1990s when the garagiste movement of tiny Saint-Émilion wineries started making stunning, trend-setting wines. So the “Old” Jacques Bertrand Estate of Chateau Carteau is both Old School and modern all at the same time.
Chateau Carteau is a very typical Saint-Émilion blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon and it sees a bit more new oak than is typical at this price point. Half new and half one-year-old barrels generate more spice and weight in the mouth and, in a heralded vintage like 2020, that is just right.
Chateau Carteau was released at $50 per bottle and some vintages even are priced as high as $83 (here) per bottle here in the US.
We are bringing it to you for $29.99 - which also happens to be the lowest price ever offered on this wine in the United States (you know, cutting out the middle man thing).
So treat yourself this weekend! You've earned it!

2021 L'Enfant Rebelle Sauvignon Blanc
Release Price: $20.00
winestore. Price: $12.99
SAVE 35%
Lowest Online Price in the US!
*Curbside Pickup Always Available*
Over the last several months, many of you have come to learn what we learned earlier this year - Antoine Lafarge is putting out some of the highest quality / affordable white wine in the Loire Valley.
While his portfolio contains an embarrassment of riches, his entry level offering "L'Enfant Rebelle" may be the star of the show.
Why, do you ask?
Well, the European AOC system delineates the boundaries of any winegrowing region; the idea is that the best and appropriate area is reserved for the AOCs. That means that there are other places that can make high quality wine but simply don’t fit within the AOC boundaries. That includes this site just outside of the established Loire Valley vineyards where delicious Sauvignon Blanc can be made, similarly to Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé, but not at similar prices to those better-known wines.
That's what we have here, and good golly is it something else. Oh, did we mention it is the lowest price in the United States as well? Heck, you could pay almost 17 pounds in the UK for this (thats basically $20 US - click HERE for the offering), or you could just grab it at your neighborhood winestore. for $12.99 😁
But don't take our word for it.
I got this text exchange from a friend the first week this wine landed (which also included the photo we used in this newsletter!). The "he" referenced below is our Store VP in Charlotte:
So ignore at your peril!

For the 2nd Year in a Row (first time this has ever happened!), 2019 Willowlake Cabernet has won the annual Caymus Blind Tasting.
I'll be honest here, the wine I expected to win came in dead last (what do I know!), and we don't have a lot of inventory of Willowlake left and we put it in there for fun! Clearly the wine continues to shine.
So, to celebrate the first ever back to back victor, we are putting Willowlake Cabernet and 2nd place Bonnet Hill both on SALE through Sunday!
I should also note this is the first time Willowlake has EVER been on sale, and we only have 27 cases left of the wine, so get while the gettin' is good.
Regarding the Willowlake...
We told you when this wine was originally released that this Cabernet was "the best 100% Cabernet under $50 we will offer you this year (other than Cape Charles)."
We also noted; "You are not going to find 100% Cabernet from Napa or Sonoma for $29.99 per bottle that is going to outdrink the quality of this - full stop."
I think you all continue to agree with us!
Major shout out to 2nd place winner Bonnet Hill Cabernet (at $14.99 per bottle I mean, WOW) and the 3rd place winner Caymus Cabernet!
I know what I'm drinking tonight!

This wine has NO business looking this good, and tasting this good, at this price. I mean I took the photo below the first time I tried this wine because I was simply shocked at what was going on.
Like I love to drink the expensive stuff just as much as anyone else, but what really gets my juices flowing is when I can find something that gives me the same experience as the super expensive stuff - just not with the price tag to boot.
So we're going to celebrate the arrival of Peynaud Bagnac with a sale, and celebrate drinking like Jeff Bezos 😂
Bordeaux has had a string of highly touted vintages: some of that praise is deserved (so, like, maybe some is not). 2018 comes to mind, tasting like Napa Cab blends and in the main getting high scores that for this palate seem wrong-headed. But along comes 2019, another vintage for everyone to talk about – if which esteemed writer Jancis Robinson says the 2019 en primeur tasting was “perhaps the best I have ever tasted at this stage...with consistency and the fact that it seems to have masses of ripe fruit, but lots of tannin to keep the wines going for many a long year.”
If a rising tide of a good vintage lifts all boats, Peynaud Bagnac is straight up dry docked and out of the water. So you should check out this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc and let's drink something exciting this weekend, shall we?
TGIF!

Featuring 2021 Caymus Cabernet!

winestore. Price: $74.97 per bottle
Our blind tasting schedule resumed last fall and they have been on a roll ever since. These events are by far my favorite tastings!!
And this Saturday...??? It may be our most popular of them all!
Caymus Cabernet is one of the hottest selling wines in any given year, but if we placed it in a lineup with less expensive offerings - could you pick it out? Would it still be your favorite? We're going to find out this weekend!
I mean, a Ducati is supposed to go faster than a bicycle, and a $75 wine is supposed to taste better than a $25 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 waxing poetic 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.
Which is why we're playing "Find the Caymus Cabernet" this Saturday - and I have to tell you this may the the most competitive lineup we have ever put together. The format is simple really. Eight wines will all be tasted blind on our tasting machines each at a cost of $1.00. ($8 to get through the whole tasting) One of them will be the 2021 Caymus Cabernet and the others will be an assortment of wines at every price point from a number of different regions. All you have to do is taste and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's the Caymus, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are.
We hope to see you Saturday - we can't wait to see who the winner will be!

For only the 5th time EVER and what will be the last time in 2023, the Gil Family have allowed us to buy into Escorlada and bring it to you on sale for $14.99 per bottle.
I get maybe more fired up than anyone about wines that fly off (in a good way) the quality to price ratio scale, and Escorlada is one of my favorites of all time.
I love everything about Escorlada. I love the wine, I love the packaging (honestly, it may be the best wine package I have seen), I love the box it comes in, I love the whole thing.
When it is on sale like this? Find me another wine that tastes this good, looks this good, and impresses like this, for $14.99. I'm not sure it exists.
The wine has been rated among the top 1% of all wines in the world by Vivino, was our 2019 Wine of the Year and is an all around ridiculous value at $14.99 per bottle.
What's the background?
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 here we go, for six days only, maybe my favorite wine in the store for what is an absolutely silly price.
Let's gooooooo!

Dr. Madaiah Revana created Revana Estate in 2005 and it's been all sunny skies for this winery ever since.
The Revana Terroir Series Cabernet isn’t one that needs a lot of press. The vineyards are managed by legend Jim Barbour (just google his name - the man is a legend) and the wines are made by Thomas Rivers Brown (see more HERE).
In 17 years we’ve only been able to offer this wine at this price one other time, and that was at the height of the pandemic. So needless to say, we are super fired up about being able to send this e-mail to you today.
Supply is extremely limited, so let's keep it short and sweet on this beautiful fall Friday, shall we?
Let's drink something nice this weekend! TGIF!

2021 Canteperdrix Vinsobres
Release Price: $25.00
winestore. Price: $14.99 (net)
Lowest Online Price in the USA!
*Curbside Pickup Always Available*
So we told you last week about Vignerons de Saint Marc - Canteperdrix, the Rhone based co-op that is producing some ridiculously good wine at ridiculously good prices. And while their Vacqueyras is amazing, at $24.99 I just can't grab a bottle whenever I want.
That's where their Vinsobres comes in.
One of the former villages among the Côtes du Rhone Villages, Vinsobres is a red wine only appellation that sees a more diverse set of soils than most of the other Rhone AOCs. From rocky elevated plateaux to alluvial fans and crumbled limestone, this area around the Aygues River is hard to simplify. The usual intense Mistral wind is accompanied by a cooler, gentler Pontias wind, making this one of the cooler sites of the southern Rhone. The wines have a bit more nerve: think of cranberry instead of black cherry, more tangy Grenache than rich, robust Syrah.
Now, as this region has become more popular, you can find wines from Vinsobres for $70 and more (Total Wine has one here), but we don't need to be playing that game, do we?
This Vinsobres from Canteperdrix is 100% Organic, a traditional blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, and clocks in for you at the lowest price in the US at $14.99 per bottle.
To be clear. I LOVE all things Rhone wine - and lately I keep getting more and more excited because in the last 18 months I feel like we have uncovered some real gems of value. I had a bottle of this last weekend and it is firing on a cylinders. Between the taste, the label, the etched glass etc - it could easily pass for something 2-3x the price.
I know what I'm drinking tonight! Let's do this!

Ever had the experience where you travel abroad and people are raving about how the table wine is so much better in Europe than in the US and it is so much less expensive?
Well, what would happen if one of those community wineries - you know the type of place in the village that is the best local restaurant, hotel, and winery all rolled up into one - ends up bottling their table wine and you get to be the first in the US to get to try it?
That's what we're offering you today.
There’s nothing typical about this blend of Grenache and Merlot. Southern France is awash in unusual choices. This part of the Mediterranean Coast can grow just about any grape; sure, it’s true that Merlot isn’t going to be at all like its Bordeaux-based versions when grown along the warm and sunny coast. But blending it with Grenache gives that generous and easy grape a bit of class and Bordelais breed.
No fancy marketing here. No crazy heavy bottles, or expensive label paper. It's all about what is in the bottle.
...and what is in there is just awesome at $9.99.
So will I be having a glass tonight with dinner and mentally transporting myself on vacation? Yes, I will....and I suggest you do the same!
Let's do this!

One thing I’ve learned after doing this for over 17 years is that there is relatively little difference in the vinification methods between $25 wines and $250 wines…sometimes you’re just paying for overhead.
So anytime we come across a co-op that has access to some insane vineyard sites, uses top flight barrels, and yet keeps prices reasonable - we’re gonna take a hard look. Some of the best wines in the world started as a Co-op. Ever heard of Clos Erasmus or L’Ermita? 👀
Enter Vignerons de Saint Marc - Canteperdrix.
We tasted some of their lineup way back in February, and the Vinsobres and Vacqueyras were absolute show stoppers. I mean, the others were really good - but these two were really good.
We then found out we could get the Vacqueyras, by far the best of the group, to the US for 50% off the release price (see below)…and that is when things really started to get interesting.
We got an order together that just arrived two weeks ago and after tasting a bottle once it landed in the US, I could not be more excited to offer these to you guys.
These wines, much like the Florets Gigondas we offered to you a few weeks ago, represent everything I love about the wine business right now. When we started in this business, we simply did not have access to this quality of juice at these prices.
So if you’re like me and are looking for more delicious and collectible Rhone options you can share with family and friends and they don’t break the bank, this is right in that wheelhouse.
At $24.99 per bottle the value is just silly.
Weekend wine? Check!

We hit the point last weekend where so many people had asked "Why isn't Benières part of the Labor Day sale?!?!?", that we just decided we had to go ahead and put it on sale this week.
Our #1 goal here is to give the people what they want - so here we go!
We told you back in December 2022 that for the 3rd year in a row Benières Pinot Noir and Chardonnay didn't win the voting here for our Wine of the Year, but maybe they should have. That we were not sure there is any brand we carry more on fire than Benieres - and that there is no brand bringing more thunder when it comes to the quality / price ratio than these wines right now.
The guy who wrote the review above about the Benières Pinot Noir clearly agrees 😂 My guess is he is buying a case at this price.
As always, thank you for your support. We work hard every single day to bring you the best possible customer service, the greatest quality wines, and the lowest possible prices...and it is because of you that we are able to make that happen.
You guys know the drill! Let's do this! Happy Wednesday all!

It's the last Friday of summer, and the only way to celebrate that, especially when the weather will be as nice as I can remember it for a Labor Day weekend, is with an Epic Deal.
And what deal is that, you ask?
2020 Darley Knights Valley Proprietary Red for $19.99.
How do we know you all absolutely love this deal?
Last time we ran this wine, at this price, you all bought 96 cases of it in 8 hours. 👀
So what is the deal here? (lots of questions this morning 😂)
You may now be familiar with the name Baron Ziegler. He’s the wine legend who has brought us juice from some of the biggest names in California wine, at prices we've never seen before. He also made waves last year when he and winemaker Pax Mahle purchased 162 acres of what may be the best Syrah vineyards in California. You can read more about that purchase here and here. (Don’t worry I’m getting us in on that!) The wines we have been able to deliver through Baron in the last 18 months have been crazy.
Darley is 100% Knights Valley juice that Baron has bottled for us under his Darley label. If you’ve been to wine country you’ve most likely been in Knights Valley and didn’t even know it. It is the last AVA on the east side of Sonoma County, right next to Calistoga and is home to some names you know - Montelena, Peter Michael, Morlet Family Wines, and Anakota wines to just name a few.
Here’s what I can tell you:
- The release price for the juice in this wine is $75.00 per bottle
- The winemaker has multiple 100 point scores under his belt - he cut his teeth at Buccella and Continuum before moving to this property.
- The juice comes from one of the most famous names in Knights Valley
TGIF everyone! Let's do this!!

My wife and I love nice Chardonnay...but for weeknight wines, the really nice stuff is not in our budget.
The wine I have potentially been most excited for in 2023 is Maison Belliac Chardonnay: 1) Because I love good Chardonnay and 2) It's something both my wife and I love to drink so we can share the bottle!
Maison Belliac, when we first tasted it, I thought was a dead ringer for high end California Chardonnay - and last weekend I decided to put that to the test.
We opened a bottle of our favorite - Kistler Chardonnay - and tasted it next to Maison Belliac. So can a Chardonnay we have on sale this Labor Day Weekend for $9.99 taste just like an $80 bottle of Kistler Chardonnay?
The answer is - no. 🤣
While it doesn't taste exactly the same, it does taste extremely close.
And given Kistler is 10x the price of Maison Belliac - to me this is a huge win.
Full transparency? My wife could not tell the difference between the two. Which disappointed her on one hand, and then when she realized she loved this wine potentially just as much she got excited for our potential savings 😂
Will it age gracefully and does it have cellar potential? Absolutely not (or at least I don't think so).
Does it over deliver for the price by a HUGE multiple - it does.
So what is happening here?
When the French decided to build the Canal du Midi, they unsurprisingly chose a portion of the Pays d’Oc that is flatter and less mountainous than much of the regional landscape. Indeed, the Canal’s construction saw some smoothing out of the countryside and in some portions, they’ve created the conditions for low-lying vineyards that were cooled by Mediterranean breezes.
Since they’re growing Chardonnay in this site, it helps that the ground is mostly calcareous marl, the sort of well-drained limestone and clay that typifies the Burgundy region far away. The climate is different, needless to say, but not so very different from sunny California, and the wine has some of that same buttery character that West Coast Chardonnay exemplifies.
So there you go!
I know what I'm drinking tonight!!

We mentioned that this week we are going to be celebrating the fact that there is no better time to be a wine drinker that is looking for high quality mixed with value than right now, and a perfect example of this is Larme en Rose Rosé. Garnering a higher rating on Vivino (here) than Whispering Angel at more than half the price - this is the kind of wine we love getting behind!
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.
So lets get to it!
Happy Tuesday All!

SALE Price: $9.99 (net)
SAVE 45%
Lowest Online Price in the USA!
This 100% Caladoc wine is barrel-fermented, though it is still recognizably rosé in style. Needless to say, barrel-fermented rosé is anomalous anywhere, much less in southern France. The barrels are over-sized, and the wine has no added sulfur or added yeast. Dry, clean and rather full for a rosé, you can nonetheless drink it chilly on a sunny day, just like you would the rest of the rosés you’re slamming this summer.

Lake County lies just to the north of Napa, and while it shares none of the fame of its southern sibling, it’s a sleeper region for Cabernet. That might be why Napa legend Andy Beckstoffer started investing in the region, purchasing a 1,200-acre vineyard that he calls Amber Knolls in the Red Hills AVA. That’s where this comes from and, if it’s good enough for Andy Beckstoffer, Napa’s most important wine grower, then it’s good enough for us too.

Over four generations of winemaking, the Vellas family have slowly assembled a strong group of properties in Languedoc and Roussillon. In beautiful sites like Mas du Pont they have created not only a vast set of vineyards but also farmlands, bull breeding, equestrian centers, olive groves and more. With Cabernet spread out across these sunny and Mediterranean climes, ripeness and aromatics are both in strong supply.

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.

We argue about vintages and that’s because we don’t all like the same style of wines. You may hate Napa Cabernet in 2011 because you think they're weak and insipid; I might find them elegant and sleek. You might champion Napa Cab 2013s; most people do. I might complain that some are too ripe. But 2020 is one of those vintages that makes fans of us all. Sonoma Cabernet in 2020 has richness but also balance. Check out Darley’s 2020 Knights Valley Cab and make your own mind up.

To most, the Languedoc is a large scale region with small scale ambitions. Even more importantly, there are ancient vineyards in the Languedoc that didn't get grubbed up and replaced with newer, sexier clones. Older vines have survived, and in the best spots, the climate is conducive to long life, and those vines that have provided the grapes for this wine have long been grown organically.

Most Americans have no idea how great the Beaujolais region has become. The last two decades have seen it grow, crafting some of the most intriguing AND affordable wines of France. It’s important to understand not all Beaujolais is the same, if you think Beaujolais Nouveau represents the character of Beaujolais, you’re dead wrong. Like the best Beaujolais, Julienas is firm, intense, tannic and nothing at all like the simple fruity wine from past.

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.

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.

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.

Grenache Blanc is a work in progress, but only because the consumer is still discovering it. With enough sunshine, Grenache Blanc can develop weight and power. The wine is fermented like Chardonnay in some ways, though the stainless steel variety; its lees are stirred in the tank, creating greater richness and texture, and Grenache Blanc is very happy that way. You will be too.

The massive Pays d’Oc covers the greater part of Mediterranean France. After the railroad was built, linking the south to Paris, wines of the Languedoc filled the carafes of Parisian bistros, and they still do today. But the last century has seen vast improvements to the wines that once were built only for value. The rest is traditionally made; though used and funky barrels are no longer the norm in the Languedoc, where this tasty wine is crafted.

Maybe one of the better high end deals we have seen all summer lands today!
The Trefethen family are true Napa royalty; indeed, I used to advise any visitors to watch their manners when visiting. Like don’t lean your elbows on the table and don’t talk with your mouth full. You know, the stuff mom told you. But aside from observing the proprieties, the Trefethens honor their grandmother with this wine, a Welsh woman who was “the original inspiration for our estate in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District”. The label is adorned with the symbol of Wales, “Y Ddraig Goch”, or Dragon’s Tooth. It’s mostly Malbec (with some Petit Verdot, Cab Sauv and Merlot) from the rockiest part of the vineyard.
I like drinking nicer wines on the weekend. You know, like a nice treat after a crazy week at work 👀 - and it makes it that much more fun when I can get a deal like this.
$35 per bottle is not inexpensive by any stretch of the imagination. but when I do pay these prices I want the wine to over deliver - and Dragon's Tooth does that and a whole lot more.
So let's kick the weekend off right, shall we?
TGIF!
I know what I'm drinking tonight (and honestly maybe tomorrow night too!)

Ice cold Sancerre Rosé when it is this hot! 🔥

I'll just start by saying that Sancerre Rosé for under $20 is somewhat of a unicorn wine right now, so take that as you will.
Even if your expectation of Sancerre is of Sauvignon Blanc, please understand that Pinot Noir is the next most planted grape in the region, and that it can be lovely and focused, not at all the soft, diffuse rosé wine you might also be expecting. Vintner Anthony Girard has owned this forty-acre plot since 2012 and has quickly garnered justifiable attention for all his wines.
We have his 100% Pinot Noir rosé because we want you to enjoy summer and these 100 degree temperatures the way they are meant to be enjoyed, with something cold and delicious. And if it matters to you, this is also vegan. Just saying.
So let's keep it short and sweet today, shall we?
Recap?
- It's crazy hot out side? Correct.
- Ice cold elusive Sancerre Rosé? Check
- Lowest Price in the US? But of course

Is this the best value Cabernet in the store?
Wine legends Baron Ziegler and Rob Fischer have been making Snowvale Cabernet for over a decade, but the 2021 vintage I think will go down as they best the have ever produced.
That's also saying something - as Snowvale has remained our top selling Cabernet for the last 5 years running 👀
So to celebrate the arrival of the new vintage we are putting it on sale for $9.99 per bottle - and Baron and Rob have told us this will be the only time we will be able to offer this wine at $9.99 in 2023. This is not a drill!!
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!
