Simply put, the 2014 Elk Cove Pinot Noir Five Mountain is a superb Oregon Pinot Noir - beautiful bright red fruit, soft fruit tannins, wonderful aromas of violets and lavender with an underlying earthiness that adds interest and complexity. The Wine Advocate agrees with us, rating it 93 points: "From a vineyard planted in 1978 by Dick Ponzi, the 2014 Pinot Noir Five Mountain has a very well-defined bouquet with real mineralité coming through. This is extremely well focused. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, real tension and vigor with fine tannin, dark cherry and red plum fruit leading...

We tasted the 2014 Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Turkheim last week and were so blown away by it, we bought all 22 cases that were available. As a result, we are able to offer it to you for $14.99. There is only one other retailer for this wine in the country and their price is $29.99! Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is inarguably the most acclaimed winery in Alsace and is one of the pioneers of biodynamic winemaking. The 2014 Gewurztraminer is especially fine because there was no Old Vines Herrenweg produced in 2014, so those grapes went into the Turkheim bottling. Zind-Humbrecht is very...

There is just something about high quality Amarone which makes it unique among red wines around the world. Deeply flavored, rich, full-bodied with enormously concentrated red and black fruit, soft tannins which caress the palate like the finest cashmere and a finish which just goes on and on and on... The 2015 Buglioni Amarone della Valpolicella Classico il Lussurioso is all that and more. Just a fabulous wine and one which will give tremendous pleasure for decades as it evolves. And it is very reasonably priced at only $51.99! James Suckling agrees with us, saying: "The power but also vibrancy...

There is no question that Lopez de Heredia is one of the most important - and most traditional - wineries in Rioja. Their wines are made with complete respect for the traditions established long ago and with no compromise for more modern winemaking. The result is wines that are really unlike any others - imagine that the 2006 is their current release - incredibly complex, nuanced, intellectual wines that are compelling and unforgettable. All while being extremely affordable. We are very pleased to offer the 2006 Lopez de Heredia Vina Bosconia Reserva for only $29.99 (according to a website that...

We tasted the 2014 Alexander Valley Vineyards Cyrus a couple of weeks ago and were just blown away by it. Deep, rich, dark fruit - pronounced but well-integrated oak - wonderful texture on the palate - tannins beginning to soften with bottle age - and an absolutely gorgeous 90 second plus finish (one mark of a really great wine!). It just gives you everything you want from a California blend of Bordeaux varietals (62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 17% Merlot, 2% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot). For me, the finest California red wine under $100 (perhaps under $200) that...
