Bruna Grimaldi Sale 9-3-24

Bruna Grimaldi
 
Your Three-Day Discount Starts Now
 
We love talking about the glory days of Barolo. Not the region, but back when you could find great Barolos for under $50. Now, it’s not uncommon to see Langhe varietal wines to stretch for that goal. Yikes. Fortunately, there is one estate has not allowed inflation to impact their pricing or quality, one we stock up on every year: Bruna Grimaldi.
 
It’s unlikely to surprise any of our long-time subscribers when we write that the estate crafts classic, well-structured and delicious wines that outperform their modest price tags. The estate dates back to the 1990s, when Bruna (along with her husband, Franco Fiorino) began bottling her own wine. This decision came after decades selling off their exceptional fruit as bulk wine before eventually selling a handful of cases locally.

Produttori del Barbaresco: 2019s On Sale Now! 9-1024



 
The legacy of Produttori del Barbaresco is the legacy of an appellation and a fiercely visionary line of individuals that have striven to carve its name into the annals of Italy’s finest wines. Until the time of the late 19th century, the vineyard holdings surrounding the town of Barbaresco were exclusively being maintained as a supply of additional grapes for the wineries of the neighboring Barolo appellation. This was until an enterprising educator and viticulturist named Domizio Cavazza arrived with a mind to change the perception of Barbaresco forever. After being rebutted by the governing authorities on the idea of expanding the Barolo appellation to formally include the vineyards of Barbaresco, he took matters into his own hands. With the partnership of 9 Barbaresco landowners in 1894 he formed a cooperative that bottled Barbaresco on its own and with a quality that rapidly won the hearts and attention of local and foreign wine drinkers.

Delas – King of the Hill… Of Hermitage 8-31-24

Delas
 
Your Three-Day Discount Starts Now

Delas makes some of the most powerful, intense wines in the Northern Rhône at prices that make them one of the superior values in the region. Drawing from their extensive holdings in every major region, they craft dense and rich impactful wines. We turn to them for big, bold wines that show well young yet reward tenfold in the cellar—a remarkable combination for French wines.
 
One of the leading Champagne Houses, Louis Roederer, purchased Delas in the 1990s. Their team brought much needed renewal to the brand. Since then, quality has been nearly unrivaled. But for whatever reason, the market has yet to catch up. Just look at Jamet, Guigal, and Chapoutier prices in comparison, not to mention the heights of Bordeaux, Napa, and even once humble Priorat.
