Castello di Ama San Lorenzo Chianti 2015

Castello di Ama San Lorenzo Chianti 2015

Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate rates it 95 points and says, "You do feel that extra density, intensity and complexity within the very fiber of this beautiful wine." And I have a recipe to share for the perfect dish to serve with it! In a food processor, combine 3 tablespoons good quality olive oil, 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary and pulse until it has formed a paste. Grill a porterhouse steak to just shy of medium rare (be sure to start with the steak on its edges to caramelize the fat, and stand it on the...

Palacios Villa de Corullon Bierzo 2013

Palacios Villa de Corullon Bierzo 2013

We seem to be on a roll with superb Spanish red wines lately (have you tried the 2011 Muga Rioja Prado Enea Grand Reserva or the 2017 Bodegas Olivares Monastrell Old Vines Alto de la Hoya?), and this is another huge success. The 2013 Jose Palacios Villa de Corullon is rated 95 points by Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate (the reviewer calls it otherworldly) and we have one of the lowest prices in the country at only $39.99! It is a blend with predominantly a Spanish red grape called Mencia, and is truthfully one of my personal favorite wines. I...

We have just received 10 cases of the extraordinary 2011 Bodegas Muga Rioja Prado Enea Gran Reserva James Suckling put it as #3 on his list of the 100 Most Exciting Wines of 2019! He rated it 99 points, saying, "The most structured Prado Enea ever... Full body. Wonderfully polished tannins and a long, long finish. Electric acidity. Muscular and well toned. The is a new classic that reminds me of great Spanish wines from the 1940s and 1950s. Better after 2021, but already so impressive. As if that wasn't exciting enough, we actually have one of the lowest if...

Domaine Vincent Dampt Vaillons 2013

Domaine Vincent Dampt Vaillons 2013

In Hoyt's opinion, Vaillon is the best premier cru in Chablis. This wine has the tremendous minerality and sea shell character that comes through from the soil in Chablis, balanced acidity and a long, beautiful finish. Alan Meadows rates this wine very highly. It's mature now and ready to drink! See the Wine

We just got in a Tuscan red which we know you'll really enjoy, Marchesi Antinori Tenuta Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato 2016. The 2016 vintage is arguably the best vintage of this wine. The Guado al Tasso is a super Tuscan. It's medium bodied, dry, has dried cherry fruit flavors, and a long glorious finish. It's only $24.99 but should sell for a multiple of that. This wine pairs with Maremma-style steak. See the Wine View the Recipe
