Kruger-Rumpf is a top quality estate in the Nahe which lies between the Mosel and the Rhine rivers—sort of a halfway point between both, geographically and stylistically.  What I think I love most about this winery is the value that their bottlings offer in terms of price to quality ratio. It’s a shame really that I’m rejoicing that a winery doesn’t charge higher prices for their wines when they absolutely deserve to, but the benefit can’t be ignored.

Four new exciting Envinate bottlings have hit our shelves! These wines will immediately be available for purchase at a 5% or 10% discount for half and full case purchases. The 2022 Palo Blanco is particularly exciting, having received 98 points from Wine Advocate upon review. I can tell you from personal experience that this bottling is very compelling, with exotic aromas of smoky candied lemon and delicate flowers that frame fine-boned acidity. A perfect white to open as the sun lingers longer and longer in the Spring.

La La Land of Opportunity 4-7-24



    


Do you drink Brunello?

You should.



Last October we ran a feature on the wines of La Fortuna and La Gerla from Brunello that met great success. A great number of die hard fans were born for these wineries and the excellent value they represent. This week we’d like to double down by putting the remaining quantity of these wines on sale for those with the ambition to seize a deal on ageworthy and highly rated Brunello. Many of these wines are back vintages which have been acquired after gentle aging in the winery’s cellars, and have rested in our temperature controlled storage. You won’t find a better opportunity to drink immaculately aged Sangiovese Grosso at attractive pricing anywhere else. Our full write-up on these wines can be found below.

Not all of us can afford Raveneau. Hell, not many of us can even find it if we wanted to! But that doesn’t mean we have to compromise, because savvy drinkers like us are well informed on the delicacy of Defaix’s Chablis. Daniel-Etienne Defaix has vineyard holdings in some of the top premier cru sites across the region and his wines are utterly unique in the fact that he ages them in bottle until they’ve reached total perfection.

Last Sunday we did a spotlight sale on the grape of Mencia and featured several wineries that are helping to reinvent the identity of Spain. The party will continue this week for many of those bottles as we continue to discount the wines of Alvaro Palacios. Alongside him we’d like to introduce another Spanish wine label we’re impressed with: Bodegas Alvear Palacio. We’ve got a Tale of Two Palacio(s) on our hands.
