Altos Las Hormigas Gualtallary Malbec 2017 We were so happy to share the 2016 Altos las Hormigas Malbec Appellation Gualtallary with you early last year and guess what? The 2017 is an even more extraordinary wine. According to The Wine Advocate, it is the fourth-best Malbec produced in the world in 2017 - and the three more highly rated wines cost at least $95 more per bottle! They rate it 96+ points saying, “superb ... unusual elegance and freshness… their best Gualtallary to date?” The suggested retail is $45, but our price is only $38.99! See the Wine

We are pleased to offer the 2016 Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, which is #4 on Wine Spectator's list of the 100 most exciting wines in 2019! They rated it 96 points, saying "This delivers a very tightly focused, almost piercing beam of cassis, raspberry coulis and bitter cherry fruit, scored with singed alder and iron notes. Incense and tobacco details chime in on the finish. Long and refined, with the fruit leaving a sweet and mouthwatering echo. Best from 2022 through 2038. 96 points." Our price, only $124.99 See the Wine

Another Superb Value Red Burgundy The 2017 Domaine de la Madone Beaujolais-Villages "le Perrone" is an absolutely wonderful red wine - nothing like the thin, insipid wines we often associate with Beaujolais. It is medium-bodied with loads of delicious red fruits (strawberries, raspberries, red currants), lovely soft tannins on the mid-palate, and an enthralling aroma of red fruits and smoky mushrooms. The Wine Advocate agrees, rating it 92 points, describing it as, "superb... generous... terrific..." And it is an incredible "bang for the buck" at only $12.99. It is definitely a wine to purchase by the case! See the Wine

A fabulous, ready to drink Chateauneuf du Pape We are pleased to offer what is truly one of the world's most special red wines from a great vintage. It is a re-release from the winery, so the provenance is impeccable. This is truthfully one of my personal favorite wines in the world. Robert Parker's review: "As I stated last year, there is no Hommage a Jacques Perrin in 2006, but Beaucastel’s 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape is performing even better from bottle than it did last year. Its dense plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet perfume of black truffles,...

The cover article for Wine Spectator this month is about Jean-Louis Chave and his truly extraordinary white and red wines from the northern Rhone Valley. They say, "He has refined his wine from Hermitage - both red and white - to achieve a classic harmony and depth that is all too rare even from this famed appellation." I have been lucky enough to taste several dozen bottles of Chave wines over the years and I can honestly say that there are no wines that I find more compelling or memorable. We are pleased to offer these amazing bottles, all in...
