With the wine world turned upside down, 48 bottles of this historic wine became available to us again. They won’t be around for long…
There can be a lot of hyperbole used in internet wine sales but you won’t hear any today– not from us at least ;). This offer is a simple one: every year we offer Castello di Volpaia’s Chianti Classico Riserva from one of the leading estates in Tuscany, at one of the best prices in the country. This year, Wine Spectator gave them the highest rating a Chianti Classico has ever received. #1. Move over, 1990 Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Bellavista!
97 points for a $40 wine? That just doesn’t happen– until today.
The 2016 Volpaia Chianti Classico Riserva 2016 is big and juicy, with layers of dark fruits, bramble and a long finish. It’s the perfect wine for a grilled steak eaten al fresco on any late summer evening. However, it’s a very limited lot of wine– the highest-rated Chianti Classico for such an affordable price doesn’t last long. You do not want to miss this!

“Enticing aromas of black cherry, black currant and violet are allied to flavors of iron, wet earth and spice. This is loaded with fruit, vibrant acidity and well-mannered tannins. Shows terrific harmony now, yet possesses the structure to age. The long, mouthwatering finish extends the dark fruit and minerally elements. Best from 2021 through 2040.” – Bruce Sanderson
A knockout, home-run of a deal. Possibly the best deal of 2019.

Great with any piece of red meat, poultry or fall vegetables.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
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.
