2016 Produttori Barbaresco

Now Under $40 Bottle!

The Produttori del Barbaresco’s “Barbaresco” (ie: Normale/Torre) bottling is one of the most important wines in the Piedmont.  Perhaps no other wine is as representative of a single place as the Produttori’s Barbaresco.  In a great vintage like 2016 (or ’13/’10/etc) it’s also one of the singularly best values out there.

Faiveley’s Corton-Charlemagne for Under $200

The hill of Corton is the most recognizable landmark in Burgundy and the whites that come off of it are as iconic as the sight of the site.  Cascadingly mineral, effusively aromatic and packed with depth and age-worthiness, the wines of Corton-Charlemagne are a jewel of Burgundy. When they’re on, only the Grand Crus of Montrachet and its satellites rival top-tier Corton-Charlemagne.

Of the notable producers of truly top tier Corton-Charlemagne, Faiveley’s may be the most overlooked.

Eisele Subscriber Special Extended!

The Eisele Vineyard is one of the crown jewels in the portfolio of the Artemis group, Francois Pinault’s empire of top tier wine producers (which started with and includes Chateau Latour).  Their flagship bottling competes with First Growth Bordeaux in its collectability, age-worthiness and complexity.

Superstars of “New California”

Arnot-Roberts, Bedrock and Pax

(Including New Reviews from Antonio Galloni!)

The emergence of “New California” has been one of the most exciting developments in the wine world this century.  The name refers to a growing number of Golden State producers making more balanced, structured wines from a state where bigger has too often been used as shorthand for better.  The results have been thrilling, especially for people who generally prefer European wines.

Cellar-Worthy Brunellos From a Legendary Vintage

2012 was one of this century’s finest years for Tuscan reds, a truly collectable vintage for the region’s best wines. Perhaps no Tuscan wine is more collectable than Brunello di Montalcino Riserva. These wines are built to age in most years, and are amongst the world’s most cellar-worthy wines at their best.
