joh. jos. prum wehlener sonnenuhr spatlese 2016 mosel germanyManfred and Katarina Prum make some of the finest and most sought after wines of the middle-Mosel. We’re adding a number of these great wines to our January sale, all from the excellent 2016 vintage.  2016 is a fantastic vintage to stock up on.  We’ve bought a bunch and you should, too—it’s a perfect counterpoint to the ageworthy 2015’s and the somewhat inconsistent (and expensive) 2017’s that are in the pipeline.

David Schildknecht once described the Loire as the “bargain garden of France” in a Wine Advocate article.  We tend to agree with him—it seems as though everywhere we look along the lengthy river we find wines that are excellent deals.  We don’t just mean at the low end of the market either, as some of the most expensive wines from the Loire are often incredible value compared to their peers.

Averaen: December 2018

A New Project from Baron Ziegler, One of the Founders of Banshee

averaen focusWe’re pleased to welcome the exceptional wines of Averaen to Vinopolis—at more than exceptional pricing. If you’re unfamiliar with these wines, you’d be excused—2016 is only the label’s second year in existence, but they’ve already established themselves as a top producer of rich, terroir-driven Pinot Noir in Oregon.

Averaen is a project of Baron Ziegler, one of the founders of Banshee wines, and liketheir Cali-counterparts, the Averaen wines deliver exceptional value—a hard thing to do in Pinot Noir.  These are exceptionally made, well reviewed single vineyard wines (and one Willamette blend) that are a steal for the prices we’re offering them at.

Large Format Sunday Special 11-10-18

A Large Sale on Large Bottles

For Thanksgiving (and Beyond)

It’s officially holiday party/dinner season, with the big one (Thanksgiving) right around the corner.  The weather has turned brisk and the festive feeling is back.  When we host parties and big-to-do’s, we love to make a magnum (or two) the feature of the evening.  Sure, you could just buy a couple 750’s and call it a night, but the sight of an oversized bottle of something special being passed around really helps make the night feel memorable in a way that two smaller bottles never will.  Large formats just scream generosity—of spirit and of wine.

To make your holiday partying a little bit easier, we’re offering Newsletter Subscribers 10% off on all large format bottles (magnums on up) through the end of the weekend.
