Subscriber Special


Gaja Sperss



Gaja is one of the most respected names in the world of wine, and the bottles bearing his name remain Barbaresco’s most treasured and collectible.  However this weekend only, we’re offering subscriber special pricing on one of his rare bottlings from Barbaresco’s even more famous neighbor, Barolo.  The region needs no introduction, however this wine perhaps does.  Unlike many other ultra-premium Barolos, Gaja’s 2014 Sperss is already drinking beautifully, even in its relative youth.

2014 is a vintage that is often overlooked thanks to the legendary vintages that immediately preceded and proceeded it.

Huet Subscriber Special

“Domaine Huet’ means ‘I make the best damn Chenin Blanc on the planet’ …” Mike Steinberger, Wine Diarist

Huet makes some of the most undervalued great wine in the world.  Take any metric you’d use to adjudicate greatness (complexity, age-worthiness, terroir, aromatic intensity, world-wide praise, etc) and Huet’s Vovray is on the list, at prices far below almost anything else in the world of wine. These wines offer near-unmatched flexibility at the table, and Domaine Huet’s reputation guarantees long ageing potential.  Made according to tradition and terroir, with utmost respect for nature, Huet wines can keep for over a century.

Vincent Paris Subscriber Special
 
Vincent Paris is one of the top winemakers in the Northern Rhone.  Working primarily in Cornas, the wines have everything we love about Northern Rhone Syrah packaged in a clean, direct style.  He has the benefit of incredible vineyard material, too, as he now works the vineyards his uncle, Robert Michel, made famous.  Stylistically, there’s definitely some of that old-school Michel rusticity, but overall, his wines are far more polished and in line with what we think of as good modern Cornas.
