July Sale Addition: Force Majeure
Force Majeure is a Washington state insider’s wine.  The name doesn’t come up as often as a winery like Cayuse, but these estate grown gems are typically completely sold out to a rabid mailing list.  It’s a tough winery to source—and for good reason. These are big, bold, dense wines with an elegance that keeps them in beautiful balance.

The Magical, Undiscovered Volnay

of Pierrick Bouley
Generational change is the best chance to buy capital “G” Great Burgundy at reasonable prices.  Case in point? Today’s offering of Volnay from Pierrick Boulay, who has taken over the family estate (known as Reyane & Pascal Bouley).  He’s young and clearly very talented—these are some seriously special wines at prices that are equivalent to most middling producers of Volnay.  We’re sure the pricing will change as he gets more notice, but for now these represent a fantastic buying opportunity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Best Opus Ever?

At a Killer Subscriber-Only Special Price

We’ll let you read the reviews for ’15 Opus and make up your own minds, but it’s a wine that’s clearly in the running for the best Opus One of all time. The 2015 growing season was easy and perfect in Napa and that shows in the bottle—you can tell the team was working with the absolute peak raw material to put the blend together.

Big Rhone Reds for Grilling

While many people like to go all-American for their fourth of July celebrations, we’re after the best wines and biggest values to pair with wines coming off of the grill. To that end, there’s no better choice than the Rhone valley, whose rich, robust reds seem born to pair with hearty, smoky foods.  Whether you’re looking at $15 Cotes du Rhones or $75 Chateauneuf du Pape, the wines deliver a top of value relative to other regions in their price categories, as well—always a good thing.

More Glowing Praise for 2017 in the Mosel

Stephan Reinhardt at the Wine Advocate Weighs In

“After 2015 and 2016, 2017 is the third great vintage in a row in the Mosel. Unlike 2016 (which brought bright and light wines of great finesse and elegance) but pretty similar to 2015 (dramatic wines with vibrant freshness and huge aging potential), 2017 combines ripe, intense fruit with dense, concentrated texture and firm, pronounced acidity.
