Envinate:

At The Forefront of “New Spain”

Envinate is a small group of winemaking friends (Alfonso Torrente, José Ángel Martínez, Laura Ramos, and Roberto Santana) that seek to highlight the individual terroirs of the Canary Islands and Ribeira Sacra. The friends produce wines of purity with low-intervention winemaking and vineyard management using ancient vineyards.  

Envintage wines are highly sought after as authentic expressions of their terroirs and forerunners of the “New Spanish” wine movement. To quote wine writer Megan Krigbaum of Punch Magazine, “While winemaking driven by these ideals [of old-school and low-intervention management in the vineyard and winery] is commonplace in many parts of Italy and France—where the natural wine movement is manifest—Spain has been slower to adopt a less-is-more aesthetic over the ‘Big Flavor’ (i.e.

A Stellar Super Tuscan Value


We love having a go-to Super Tuscan under $15 in house and the impending arrival of Tenuta Lunelli’s Aliotto is going to fill a void that the Il Poggione Rosso left when it sold out in April.  This is a fantastic value, with its 60% Sangiovese complemented by a Cab/Merlot blend that provides fruit and structure.  It’s already selling briskly, so don’t hesitate.

Tenute Lunelli Podernovo Aliotto Toscana IGT, Tuscany 2014 750ML ($21.95) $14 special
Case-6 Tenute Lunelli Podernovo Aliotto Toscana IGT, Tuscany 2014 750ML ($119.95) $79 special (that’s only $13.17/bottle!)

47 Hour Cayuse Sale

Cayuse is one of the most in-demand wineries in North America, producing wines from both Rhone and Bordeaux varieties that are among the finest in the world and selling them almost exclusively through their mailing list.  Even if you wanted to buy their wines directly off that list, you’d be looking at a looooong wait before getting an opportunity and so every chance to sell them is special.

We’re always on the hunt for more of these hyper-rare bottlings—and this set of wines is a prime example of why they’re so exciting.  As usual with Cayuse, Horsepower and No Girls, quantities are extremely limited, so snap these up quickly if you want them in your cellar.

Spottswoode makes some of the most iconic wines in Napa from their beautiful estate vineyard. Their wines have been some of the most collectable, age-worthy wines in Napa since the 80’s and are sold almost exclusively to their mailing list. The wines easily compete with cult bottlings twice their price and are worth the trouble we have to go through to secure even these modest allocations—these are stunning bottles.

James Suckling 98 points
“The aromas are so seductive with dried roses and berries. Tar and asphalt, too. Full bodied, very tight and powerful. Lean and long tannins. It goes on for so long. Stops and then starts over again. A curious and challenging young wine. Great. In the market in 2020. Better in 2026.”
Monica Larner-Wine Advocate 97 points “This red label Riserva was made in 2012 and 2014 and will be released in 2016 and 2017.
