The Best Ornellaia of the Century?

2016 was an all-time-great year in Tuscany and as you’d expect, the 2016 Ornellaia is special stuff.  We’ve managed to secure additional stock on this stunner and the first drop just arrived.  Separating the 2015 and ’16 vintages in terms of quality seems impossible, so let’s just say that the 2016 is one of the two or three best vintages of the wine in the last decade—which is to say it’s on the shortlist for best Super Tuscan of the century.

Vintage Port Subscriber Special

Vintage Port remains one of the best deals in the world of classical fine wine—top flight, epic bottlings from historic producers with long track records at prices that seem unfathomable given their pedigree.  These are wines that compete with Grand Cru Burgundy and First Growth Bordeaux at prices that are fractions of their peers.

We’re offering you extra discounts on these fantastic wines through the end of the weekend—10% off purchases of 6+ bottles of Vintage Port and 5% off purchases of 3-5 bottles.

Scavino 2015

Subscriber-Only Special


“Scavino is one of the great, established families in Piedmont…the Scavino Barolos are defined by their textural richness and opulence. When they are young, the wines are decidedly powerful and intense, but they have also proven to age exceptionally well.” –Antonio Galloni

Paolo Scavino is once again one of the top producers in Barolo. At one point, Scavino was considered one of the preeminent producers of modernist Barolo, favoring barriques, exceptionally short macerations and a style that emphasized winemaking over terroir.  These days, though, they’ve shed their overtly modernist ways, moving their style towards a more traditional approach.
