New Arrivals and Sale On Molitor’s Top 2017 Auslese!


 

This week’s arrivals cover serious ground—from benchmark Oregon Pinot Noir to alpine-tinged Etna reds and classic Piedmont—but the headline is unmistakable. A deep lineup from Weingut Markus Molitor is available on sale, and it’s the kind of collection that doesn’t come together often. These are bottles that speak to both breadth and precision, but more importantly, they give a rare, focused look at one of the Mosel’s most exacting and prolific masters working at full tilt.

The centerpiece is the 2017 Auslese range—a set of wines that has quietly achieved near-legendary status. Across the board, these bottlings have earned 98+ point scores from Wine Advocate, and tasting through them makes it immediately clear why. The 2017 vintage delivered a perfect intersection of ripeness and acidity, allowing Molitor to craft wines that are at once opulent and razor-sharp.

New Arrivals from Top Oregon Producers and Screaming Eagle!




 


A fresh set of arrivals has just hit the shelves, with a particular emphasis on some of Oregon’s most thoughtful and historically important producers. New vintages from The Eyrie Vineyards, Evesham Wood, and Cameron Winery highlight the enduring appeal of the Willamette Valley’s classical style—Pinot Noirs and whites built on finesse, energy, and a clear sense of place rather than sheer power. These producers have long championed a restrained, terroir-driven approach, and the newly arrived vintages show just how compelling that philosophy remains today.

At the opposite end of the rarity spectrum, we’re also thrilled to offer a microscopic allocation from Screaming Eagle Winery and Vineyards. Just three bottles are available, making this one of the most limited offerings we’ve featured in some time.

Sale on: Selbach-Oster 2-1-26


Selbach-Oster is one of the Mosel’s great standard-bearers, a winery whose name has become synonymous with precision, purity, and trustworthiness. Based in the village of Zeltingen, the estate has deep roots in the region, with documented vineyard holdings dating back to the 17th century. For generations, the Selbach family has farmed some of the Mosel’s most prized steep slopes, developing an intimate understanding of how Riesling expresses itself on slate soils along the river’s winding bends.

The modern reputation of Selbach-Oster is closely tied to Johannes Selbach, who took the reins in the late 20th century and helped usher Mosel Riesling into a new era of clarity and balance. His approach emphasizes transparency over excess, allowing vineyard character to lead while keeping alcohol levels modest and acidity finely tuned.

Sale on the Ancient Italian Region of Campania!

Campania

 
Campania, one of Italy’s oldest wine regions, has been famous for its wines for thousands of years. Located near Naples, there are numerous references to the quality of the wines in Roman writings. Yet despite its history, lauded grape varieties, and world-class wines, it is considered an obscure region today.
 
Campania’s crown jewel is the indigenous red wine grape Aglianico. It is a thick-skinned red variety that creates full-bodied wines with rich tannins, ample acidity, and plenty of aging potential – a bit like Cabernet Sauvignon. The DOCG region of Taurasi, a subregion of Campania, it’s the place to look for the best examples.
