One of the most exciting trends I have observed over the last two decades or so is the dramatic increase in the number of really extraordinary wines from countries like Chile and Argentina. This truly memorable red wine is a perfect illustration. The 2016 De Martino Vigno, an old vine Carignane-based field blend, is an extraordinary wine and our price is only $39.99 (the largest wine retailer in the country lists it at $45). It is an Arnold Schwarzeneggar of a wine - big, powerful, intense, muscular, huge on the palate - I can't really think of a wine at...

I have for decades been a huge fan of wines from St. Supery Estate Vineyards, so I was especially pleased when I was given the opportunity to offer the 2014 St. Supery Cabernet Sauvignon Dollarhide Vineyard to you at an amazing price - only $59.99! The Dollarhide Cabernet is perennially one of Napa's finest red wines and it is again in this vintage. Full-bodied, concentrated, loaded with black currant fruit. Very floral, with violets and lavender in the nose. Rich, palate-coating fruit tannins give it structure and longevity. A beautiful wine for drinking now and for another 6-8 years if...

Cabernet Franc seems to be all the rage right now with some wines from the Loire Valley selling for close to First Growth Bordeaux prices. How about this alternative from Chile? 2016 Garage Wine Co Cabernet Franc Pirque Vineyard Lot #80, only $34.99 You can buy a case of it for less than the price of one bottle of Clos Rougeard Poyeaux! And it is absolutely superb! The Wine Advocate agrees with us saying: "The 2016 Pirque Vineyard is a little closed but feels very solid. It has varietal and zone character, without excessive mintiness, faintly balsamic. It's still very...

We tasted the 2016 do Ferreiro Albarinho Cepas Vellas at one of our wine tastings a few months ago and everyone was absolutely blown away by it. Rich and concentrated, full-bodied, mature, but with years to go. Really a tour de force for this grape. The Wine Advocate agrees with us, saying "The nose of the 2016 Albariño Cepas Vellas shows very young and primary, not that different from the 2017 I tasted next to it. This comes from ancient, ungrafted vines planted around the family house and winery. It always has an extra degree of complexity and depth, often...

We tasted the 2015 Alexana Chardonnay "Terroir Series" at one of our weekly tastings in the private room a few months ago and we, along with everyone else at the tasting, just loved it. So, when our distributor offered us special pricing on it, we were elated to have the opportunity to pass the savings along to you. The price at the winery is $35. Our price is $14.99! The Wine Advocate agrees with us, rating it 90 points, saying: "The 2015 Chardonnay Terroir Series opens with freshly sliced green apple and green pears notes over crushed rock, crème fraîche...
