With hundreds if not thousands more wines to drink now than ever before, the market can become saturated and the reviews can get repetitive, lazy and even mailed in. Sometimes it’s really hard to tell if a reviewer even liked a wine based on their one or two sentences, which is why we taste through everything we offer. If you haven’t tried it, you can’t possibly know.
But every once in a while, you stumble across a review where you can tell unequivocally that not only did the reviewer actually try the wine… but that they really liked it. That’s today’s wine – and after tasting it last week, I can see why.
To say Wine Enthusiast cared for this scrumptious new Piedmonte Barbera would be a bit of an understatement. The reviewer who gave this wine (which we have for just $12.50/btl today) a rave 92-point ‘Best Buy’ designate, absolutely loved this wine. In fact, he went as far as to call it, “an affirmation of all that is good in the wine world: delicious, fun and serious”. That is a man who enjoyed his bottle of Barbera.
But in a day and age where pricing on some varietals has gone through the proverbial roof, this bright, juicy, smooth, easy drinking red is priced right where you want it – the definition of an easy case buy.

It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
