Colgin and Dominus represent two of the finest wines made in Napa Valley.  This is news to precisely no one (though if you haven’t had the wines and have the means—stop, do not pass go, grab some right away).  These are some of the most sought after wines in the States, hunted by those that drink the best.

Colgin’s Tychson Hill Cabernet is the rarest bottling the cult winery produces, from a sub-five acre vineyard originally planted in 1881 and purchased by the winery in 1997.

To Buy, Drink, Hold and Buy Some More
Felsina is a top-three Chianti producer and a top-ten estate in Tuscany as a whole.  The value out of their wines, from top to bottom, is astounding.  We’re big fans of their top two wines, Rancia and Fontelloro, but their lower tier wines offer great value.  We already sold through the first tranche of the basic Chianti and now have their Chianti Riserva arriving as well—a serious value play that’s a step up from the entry level but still attractively priced.

For Champagne Value
 

Moet’s Grand Vintage bottling sits a tier below Dom Perignon and above their ubiquitous NV bottlings.  Despite the incredible jump in quality from the low-end stuff, it’s much less expensive than Dom.  The price we were able to secure on this was incredible, as well, compounding the relative value of the bottling.  For not much more than the Imperial, you can enjoy the Grand Vintage, at least until we run out—we’re not likely to score this sort of pricing again any time soon!
