With almost a cult-like following around the country, demand has driven up the price on some of Joey’s treasures, there’s nothing he makes in my opinion that can top his sensational Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah, (especially not this year with its 3 scores of 96 points or more). Luckily, Tensley remains committed to merging outstanding quality with affordability which is why he launched the Fundamental lineup in 2017.
Don’t confuse Fundamental with a “second label” though. Last month all five Fundamental releases were scored by Parker’s Wine Advocate. Even without the king at the helm, Tensley found himself in familiar territory – all five wines earned 92-point reviews. For releases $20 or less, that kind of praise just doesn’t happen. But I tasted the full lineup a few weeks ago, and nothing that Tensley has earned hasn’t been well deserved. Five very different wines, all qualitatively excellent.
Since it seems like forever since we’ve had a lights out $20 domestic Pinot Noir, I made sure I could lock up everything I could. 20 cases of a special Santa Barbara Pinot are now officially up for grabs. Just $20/bottle today while our inventory lasts… down all the way to $18/btl on case orders. This is a gem.

The second year of this elegant, silky smooth Willamette Valley Pinot Noir crafted by Bertrand de Villane of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti fame. Again it comes from the gorgeous Winter’s Hill Estate about 700 feet above sea level in the Dundee Hills. All indications are that the 2019 is going to be one of the best for Pinot Noir since 1991. A flawless summer that benefited from very little rain mixed with cool, breezy summer nights. With a round, supple mouthfeel and a sturdy backbone this will age gracefully for a decade plus. Bertrand’s wines just have a signature stamp that is unmistakably his. This is phenomenal.
This is a very, very special library offer from our friends at Val di Suga and is also a very limited one. There are only a few of these amazing six-pack collector’s boxes for sale. Two bottles each from Val di Suga’s three single vineyard sites. Val di Suga is the only Brunello producer that controls three separate estate vineyards located in three specific climate zones in the appellation. Each vineyard site has its own unique exposure and geo-climatic features which expresses itself in every bottle. Not to be missed. *Original wooden boxes come included.*
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in the 2018 vintage. 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.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
