Labor Day Sale Recap

New Champagne Reviews from Wine Advocate

Given the quality of recent releases by both growers and Grand Marques alike, it’s one of the best times to be drinking Champagne. William Kelley (the Burgundy/Champagne reviewer for the Wine Advocate) seems to agree.  He just published new reviews, writing that Champagne is “one of France’s most multifaceted and rapidly evolving wine regions” while acknowledging the dialectic inherent in the region.

Featured New Arrival

Arnaldo Caprai’s Fantastic Rosso

Arnaldo Caprai is one of the stars of Italian wine.

Way back in 2007, who would have thought a start-up could rocket into the first ranks of Walla Walla wine?
