Great value for money. Similar wines usually cost 2 times as much.
N.V. Villa Degli Olmi Corte dei Rovi Prosecco | Vivino
Â
Another fantastic vintage. A great nose rife with cassis and dark berry fruits, with a mouth chalk-full of decadent cocoa, blackberries and black cherries.
2020 Tori Magna Stareye Cabernet Sauvignon - Vivino
Â
Bold and elegant Napa Cab! Notes of blackberry and black currants, fruity and well balanced, long finishing with medium tannin.
2017 Sling & Spear Cabernet Sauvignon | Vivino

This is an excellent wine. Perfectly balanced with great mouthfeel and finish. Brings forth the best characteristics of Syrah and Grenache. It can accompany almost any cuisine.

Fantastic Tempranillo and for that price. Notes of dark fruit and red fruit. With some delicate sweetness. Best value for money.
N.V. Félix SolÃs Mucho Más Tinto | Vivino
Â
A terrific, well-priced Napa Cabernet, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis has a great nose of pure cassis fruits as well as tobacco, spring flowers, and a touch wet stone and graphite. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a good sense of eleg...
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Â
Wonderful aromas of fresh herbs, such as sage and mint. Currants. Extremely aromatic. Full body. Fantastic tension and focus. Reminds me of the 1974. Really exceptional. Gorgeous. Cool and sleek. Try after 2023, but already fascinating to drink.
Robert Mondavi To Kalon Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Â
One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabern...
Opus One 2019
Â
Complex aromas of blackcurrants and lead pencil. Incredible. Graphite and tar. Stunning. It’s full-bodied, yet shows such harmony and polish. Elegance and complexity with finesse. The tannins are so integrated and endless. It goes on for minutes. 94%...
Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019
Â
A firm and linear wine with some herbal and bark character. Blue fruit and dried strawberry. Floral. Full and tight with firmness and intensity. Give it three to four years to come around.
Domaine Serene Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir 2019
Â
Aromas of dark cherry, plum, violet, smoke and cigar box. Medium-bodied with finely grained tannins and bright acidity. Balanced and refined. Harmonious, savory and silky with a succulent, long finish
Beaux Freres Belles Soeurs Pinot Noir 2019
Â
Very attractive floral and fresh aromas to the plums and cherries, following through to the palate. Flavorful and gorgeous, yet lively and focused. Lovely 2017.
Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 2017
Â
Rich and deeply alluring, the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva wafts up to display crushed ashen stone mixed with hints of ginger, dusty florals and black cherry preserves. This is velvety-smooth and pliant in feel, lifted by cooling herbal and mi...
Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016
Â
A blend of 94% Syrah and 6% Petite Sirah, the 2018 Relentless looks to be just about sensational, offering a dense purple color as well as rich, loaded notes of blackberries, currants, smoked meats, peppery spice, and violets. Reminding me of a great...
Shafer Relentless 2018
Â
A wine that needs to be forgotten in the cellar for 5-6 years, the 2011 Syrah Patine checks in as a blend of roughly 97% Syrah and the balance Roussanne and Viognier. It too comes all from the estate's Eleven Confessions Vineyard and saw 39 months in...
Sine Qua Non Patine Syrah 2011
Â
Fresh, rich and vibrant, with a medley of cranberry, spice, pepper, wild berry, blueberry and mineral notes. Full-bodied and supple in texture, ending with game meat and dried berry flavors supported by firm, spicy tannins. Drink now through 2020. 1,...
Sine Qua Non B-20 Syrah 2008
Â
The 2019 Paul Dolan Organic Grapes Mendocino County Zinfandel shows excellent richness and balance. TASTING NOTES: This wine brings pleasing berry aromas and flavors to the fore. Enjoy it with an old-fashioned barbecue in the backyard
Paul Dolan Vineyards Organically Grown Zinfandel 2019
Â
Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay on release is an achingly painful thing to drink, because once you've known the utter pleasure these wines bring at 5 or more years of age, it becomes a mess of cognitive dissonance to drink them so young. They are close...
Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay 2019
Â
This is very subtle and complete with cooked lemons and apples and a complement of straw and gunpowder. Full-bodied, deep and layered with an ever attractive finish of fruit and minerals. Why wait? Drink now.
Maritana Vineyards La Riviere Chardonnay 2017
Â
The purity of fruit in this is really something, offering salt, chalk, sliced mango and papaya. It’s full and phenolic with layers of fruit and so much richness at the end. Yet, it’s ever so long and intense. Lasts for minutes. Drink or hold
Vie di Romans Piere Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Â
A crunchy Rùfina mainly from 1970s Sangiovese vines with dashes of both local heritage and international varieties, too. Fermentation in stainless steel precedes 24 months in concrete and large, second-fill oak vats. Its bright scarlet hues mirror eq...
Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva 2018
Â
This has incredible energy and depth, with a tight, firm and powerful tannin frame that is present throughout. Full-bodied with a deep core of dark fruit, slate, minerals and iron. Oyster shells, porcini, licorice and some cedar, too. Great wine. Try...
Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto 2016
Â
This has a wicked reductive edge now, so either don’t touch this for a long time, or let it open up in the glass (or, yes, decanter!). When it does finally give way, soak up the amazing, stoney nuances, freshly squeezed Japanese plums and Korean pear...
Weingut Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spatlese Number 5 2018
Â
A stunningly aromatic and juicy pinot grigio with so much melon and white-nectarine fruit, but also tons of wet-stone character and invigorating acidity. Self-confidently breaks the mold for this category, particularly at the very racy finish, which ...
Kofererhof Pinot Grigio Valle Isarco 2021
Â
2019 was drier and riper, and the 2019 Nun Vinya Dels Taus has a little more alcohol, 13%, and slightly lower acidity than the 2018 that I tasted next to it. The old vines are from a plot planted in 1945 that Soler works organically and biodynamicall...
Enric Soler Nun Xarel-lo 2019
Â
This vintage rates better than any other year for this wine
2019 Luca Old Vine Malbec | Vivino
Â
I was very impressed with this glass of wine. It had a full-bodied flavor and might be the best Usual wine I’ve had yet
Reserve Pinot Noir - Box of 6 bottles
Â
New Zealand is home to some riduclously awesome lamb chops, so sip on this NZ Malbec with some Seared Lamb Chops with Marinated Halloumi and Herbs
2016 Testify 'Gimblett Gravels' Red
Â
It's a very good wine, and is a very pleasant combination of body, aromas and finish
2016 Decibel Pinot Noir
Â
Nothing better on a warm evening than this lighter style Pinot Noir and grilling up these Coconut and Lemongrass Steak Skewers
2018 Testify Pinot Noir
Â
Pack a cooler with this Cab and these Smoked Turkey, Blue Cheese, and Red Onion Jam Sandwiches for a perfect spring hike and sunset!
2018 Boedecker Cellars Yakima Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Â
This complex and fancy AF Pinot Noir deserves a deluxe burger like these Lamb Burgers with Lemon-Caper Aioli and Fennel Slaw
2016 Koyama Williams' Vineyard "S" Pinot Noir, Waipara Valley
Â
This is a killer pizza wine, and black olives make the juice sing like Aretha Franklin conducting the choir
2015 Paritua Syrah
Â
This could stand up to some roasted game, but can also hit up salmon, but how about lighting up your Thanksgiving day turkey?
Philippe Fontaine Champagne Brut Rosé, Rosé de Saignée, NV
Â
Go with fresh and bright flavors to complement this wine's unique creaminess! We paired this with a Sticky Pomegranate & Ginger Chicken dish.
2020 Supernatural "Minus 220" Skin Fermented Sauvignon Blanc
Â
Deep berry and spice flavors pushing their way into delicate ones.
2020 Gönc Winery "Dirty Deeds" Pinot Noir
