Joel’s story is a modest one– it’s the familiar American dream story, a hustler who was a nice, well liked guy in the food and wine industry, and finished first — making countless friends and connections along the way.
Joel’s story starts in the early 1990’s when he and his brother Duncan, both fifth generation Californians in the wine business, saved up enough money to buy Palisades Market in Calistoga. Eventually the two put enough blood and sweat equity into the project to grow it into a must-stop shop in the Napa area, known as THE purveyor of gourmet food and fine wine.
The biggest takeaway Joel learned from his time in the retail wine industry was this: $15 is the magic price. If you had good wines available for $15-20, people were willing to take a chance on the wine, even if they hadn’t tried it before. Nothing sold like a good under $20 wine that pairs well with food.
And so Joel and his wife set out to start “Joel Gott Wines”, a brand of multiple varietals all priced under $20, all food friendly. Twenty years and countless connections later, Joel Gott represents some of the best bargain wines in California, Oregon and Washington. They snuck into the Wine Spectator top 20 last year in their annual Top 100 Wines of the Year list, and they continue to make wines that are priced fairly and over deliver.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
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!
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
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.
