Trencalos
Amongst the many still unknown wine regions of Spain is Terra Alta, with limestone hills set above the Mediterranean, surprisingly near better known spots like Priorat and Penedes. Their old vine reds are less powerful than Priorat or Montsant, but still rich and more elegant.

Trencalos Blanco
Amongst the many still unknown wine regions of Spain is Terra Alta, with limestone hills set above the Mediterranean, surprisingly near better known spots like Priorat and Penedes. This Garnatxa Blanca (white Grenache) is an excellent example of why this region is about to become the new thing in value wine.

Unshackled Cabernet
Veteran winemaker, Chrissy Wittmann, says that there is “something special in Unshackled, which blends together familiar varietals from California’s premier wine regions to create a distinct collection with a personality all its own…” How is it that the Prisoner is so successful? It must be something about the wines because they continue to grow in leaps and bounds attracting not one-time buyers, but upon people who come back and buy it again.

Val De Salis Cabernet
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.

In tasting thousands of wines, every now and again we find little gems like this one.

Val delle Rose Morellino
Grown only a few miles from the sea, Morellino has greater bite and spice than Sangiovese-based wines from Chianti only a handful of miles to the interior. But they’re not generally as age-worth as Bolgheri wines which means you can afford them. This Sangiovese is aged in French oak for six months, and rests between friendly and burly. It’s waiting for you to throw some meats on the grill. And then it will go down really easy.

Verbo Aglianico del Vulture
Aglianico is one of Italy’s most important unsung grapes, but it’s tricky. It can be tannic and even a bit rustic, so the critical factor is where it’s grown. The Del Vulture owns its own D.O.C. and it’s a wine with more than 2000 years of history. As crucial are the volcanic soils and the elevation and beneficial exposure of the gentle Venosa hills. Put together, the tannins are softened by the generous fruit and the wine remains bright and fresh.

Verbo Malvasia
The region of Basilicata represents the arch of the boot that comprises the shape of Italy. Aglianico is the famed grape there but surprisingly they also make crisp and balanced white wine, thanks to the volcanic origin and elevation of the vineyards. The Malvasia grape is at home here though we still don’t really know where it was born. The prevailing theory is that the name derives from the Greek port of Monemvasia but it’s important to understand that there is no single grape called Malvasia; there are many versions. Nonetheless, the particular style that is Malvasia di Basilicata is delightful and distinct: honeyed, floral and lemony.

Verraco Ridge Pinot Noir
California has had several Pinot Noir moments. There were some vineyards in Napa in the 70s and 80s - then people got smart and headed closer to the Pacific Ocean. Like Monterey. Open to the ocean, where vineyards are hot and sunny in the morning and cold and windy in the afternoon - these sorts of conditions make for brighter fruits in the red wines, many of them crisp and even slightly tart, you know, like Pinot Noir is. Like this wine is.

Von Strasser Diamond Cab
Rudy von Strasser intended to be the “King of Hard-Cider”, but in 1980 he was working at Robert Mondavi Winery, found himself drawn to study at U.C. Davis and shortly found himself interning at Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, followed by stints at Trefethen and Newton. In 1990, he and his wife bought property on Diamond Mountain, next door to the legendary Diamond Creek.
