“Mr. Chablis” Delivers Again

New Wines from Domaine d’Henri

With Spring here and Summer approaching, we’re restocking on some of our favorite Chablis out there: the wines of Le Domaine d’Henri.  Founded and made by Michel Laroche, a man whose nickname is “Mr. Chablis,” they’re as classic as they come with prices that make them exceptional deals even for an undervalued region.  We have a few wines in stock now, but just secured a restock on these chalky treasures—including some of his rare “Heritage” bottling that represents the top of the range.

Cameron Winery’s 2018 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir

Arriving Friday, May 8th:

Pure joy from a joyous vintage!
Cameron Winery Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills 2018 750ML ($29.95) $27 pre-arrival special
Case-12 Cameron Winery Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills 2018 750ML ($369.95) $315 pre-arrival special (that’s only $26.25/bottle!)
VinopolNote: The 2018 shows more color and immediate impact than the 2017. (We’re extremely excited about the vintage.) Right out of the bottle, it’s well balanced and medium-bodied. It’s showing aromas of boysenberries, purple lilacs, and spice with a touch of black tea and a palate-cleansing astringency on the finish.

Cameron Winery’s 2016 Nebbiolo

Ending Tomorrow, May 1st at 6 pm Pacific


Cameron Winery Nebbiolo, Dundee Hills 2016 750ML ($39.95) $33 pre-arrival special
Scoop up the best Nebbiolo from outside Italy!  This is a fantastic new release from Cameron Winery, showcasing the savory side of Nebbiolo. John Paul may humbly suggest it’s his homage to the Alto Piemonte, but we’re reminded of Produttori’s normale bottling, too, with its classic cherry, tobacco and floral aromas and definite cellar-ability. It’s getting to the point where we can’t find better Barolo for the price. We’re excited to stick a few bottles in our cellars, and know that you will be, too.

Oregon Hot Deal Alert!

St. Innocent remains one of the premier producers in the Willamette Valley, combining richness and power with clear terroir signatures in their top Pinots.  They were founded in the late 80’s and Mark Vlossak (the winemaker/owner) has been one of the stars of the local Pinot Noir scene nearly since the start.  The wines they’re making now are arguably the best they’ve ever produced—the resulting wines are the culmination of decades of experience and technique.

Drappier Super Special

The Return of a Best Selling, Best Value Champagne

We’ve got a new round of one of our best value, best-selling Champagnes arriving Friday.  Drappier’s Carte d’Or returns and is (stunningly) below $35 a bottle.  This was a fantastic value  when it was barely under $40, so bringing it back at this tariff seems unreal—a deal that we had to pounce on.
