A wonderful Spanish red that is changing people's lives!
One of the first large purchases I made after starting work here in January 2019 was the 2016 Pingus PSI, a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha from Ribera del Duero in Spain. It was an extraordinary wine and everyone who tasted it was blown away by how special it was. While it was an amazing wine, the 2018 is even more amazing - but what really makes Pingus PSI special is the fact that Peter Sisseck is changing the lives of the farmers who grow the grapes that comprise this wine. He has told vignerons who used to be paid...
A Fantastic Bang For The Buck Spanish Red!
If you have ever heard of the Spanish grape Bobal, I am very impressed. If you've ever tasted a wine made from Bobal grapes, I'm flabbergasted! So, what does a wine made from Bobal taste like? Well it tastes something like Oregon Pinot Noir, it tastes something like red Burgundy, it tastes something like a Cru Beaujolais - but it doesn't exactly taste like any of those. In a top example like this one, it exhibits bright red fruits, soft fruit tannins, pronounced minerality. moderate alcohol, and balanced acidity (doesn't that sound like Pinot Noir, Burgundy and Beaujolais?). The 2018...
A beautifully packaged, superb red blend for a great price!
We bought a very large quantity of this wonderful South African red about a year ago and it disappeared VERY quickly for three reasons: Our price is ridiculously low. The wine is superb. It is already gift-wrapped for Christmas (it comes individually wrapped in bright red paper). The suggested retail is $75 and one store in Florida has it listed online at $125 but our price is only $34.99! 2012 Ernie Els Signature Red The Wine Advocate: "The 2012 Signature is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% each of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot; it...
Perhaps the world's two finest dry Chenin Blancs!
Since its founding in 1928, Vouvray’s Domaine Huet has been the standard-bearer for great, age-worthy Chenin Blanc. And to this day, year after year, the estate produces some of the world’s most compelling white wines—and in a remarkable range that spans sparkling, dry, semi-dry, and breathtaking dessert styles. Vouvray at this level of excellence is the perfect wine to drink with strong cheeses like Epoisses, Livarot, or Tallegio and there truthfully are no finer white wines in the world at any price. Full-bodied and concentrated, with a pronounced lanolin character and tremendous richness on the palate and a seemingly endless...
The King Of Wines, The Wine Of Kings
Barolo has been justifiably referred to for as long as I can remember as "The King Of Wines, The Wine of Kings". In it's finest expression - from great vintages, winemakers and vineyards - it is a wine of rare majesty; a wine that ages gracefully for decades; a wine which is worthy of even the most special occasions of life. We have been able to acquire some very, very special Barolos the last few months and are proud to offer them to you. All are in stock and available for purchase today.
