Shipping included on 3 bottles or more Never heard of Col di Lamo? Neither, frankly, had we. It’s very, very tiny, and the small amount of Col di Lamo Brunello (and its brilliant orange label) made usually never makes it far from Tuscany...
"The 2019 Chablis Vosgros comes from vines planted in the early 1960s and in 1986. The nose sports a very subtle but beneficial reduction, and there are lovely, pure dried pineapple and crushed limestone scents underneath. The palate is well balanced...
Marsannay-la-Cote is the northernmost appellation in the Cotes de Nuits and, as also its coolest spot temperature-wise, a beneficiary rather than a victim of the recent string of warm to hot vintages in Burgundy. Back in the old days, even the best...
2019 Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone 'Les Champauvins' 2022 was the year of the Cotes du Rhone at PRIMA! It seems like everything we tried from either 2018 or 2019 was either delicious, well-priced or both! It was really hard to pick a favorite...
Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points: ” The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon RBS displays a more elegant, seamless style, offering full-bodied aromas and flavors of cassis and black raspberries as well tobacco, violets, and Christmas spice. It’s incredibly complex...

One year I happened to be in Walla Walla the same weekend as Cayuse’s annual open house- the only weekend of the year when the winery is open and wines for the mailing list can be picked up. It was an amazing sight to see! ...
97 points James Suckling Lots of blackcurrants and blueberries on the nose, together with walnuts and chocolate. Full-bodied and very layered, with super depth and plushness, offering currant, crushed-stone and bitter-chocolate flavors. Very lush...
Importer's Notes: The Bellecroix vineyard grows down on the slope that ends at the town of Chagny. Chagny was besieged centuries ago by one of the many marauding bands of mercenaries that ran around Europe in the Middle Ages, and a battle took...
Wine Country: Austria Wine Varietal: Riesling Fans of FX Pichler know how good these wines are and why they’re so much in demand. Purely defined fruit, great depth of flavor; truly spectacular!
Winery Notes: Vintage red wine made from selected indigenous grapes Mencia, grown in vineyards on the slopes alone, facing south, on the right bank of the river Sil. 30 Hectares of vineyards, with shale and slate lands, controlling...
This winery is one of the pioneers in dry-style Riesling and this one features such lovely fruit and really fine acidity. The latter frames an impressive set of citrus-infused Riesling aromatics like chamomile, dry acacia honey, Meyer lemon, lime peel,...
I first met Massimo Martinelli at the old Renato Ratti cantina in La Morra now almost 20 years ago. At the time, he was not only the longtime winemaker at Ratti (he was Ratti’s nephew, and started working there when he was 15), he was also...
Winery Notes: On the nose, beautiful aromas of ripe yellow peach, meyer lemon, and chamomile mingle together with hints of clove and vanilla. The peach, lemon, and vanilla spices continue onto the palate which is rich and concentrated, the flavors...
If anything, this is denser and darker than the Archery Summit! This winery is one of the best in the state and the biodynamic farming shows up in the wine’s special internal energy and vivacity. Bergstrom is an Oregonian family affair with...
"There is a red wine of Nebiule (Nebbiolo) made in this neighborhood which is very singular. It is about as sweet as the silky Madeira, as astringent on the palate as Bordeaux, and as brisk as Champagne. It is a pleasing wine." - Thomas Jefferson ~...

Even while Pinot Noir from Oregon was catching the imagination of wine lovers everywhere some 30 years ago, Chardonnay from the northwest was proving to be a very hard sell...
Either/Or $91.99, shipping included on a set of one bottle each (or 3 bottles of one) If Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo were ever to hook up after a crazy night of wine drinking and have a baby, their offspring would probably be a lot like Nerello...
It’s really not hard to find an inexpensive California Chardonnay out there, but if it’s quality and distinction you’re hoping for at that under-$25 price point, your options become markedly fewer. We’ve been fans of...
Visiting the half-timbered scenic town of Bernkastel is a pilgrimage for any traveler interested in the beautiful and history of Germany. This gorgeous medieval village is stunning in every way and, surrounded as it is by some of Germany’s...

Winemaker NotesA golden color, distinctive of black grape varieties. Very fine bubbles. On the nose, it has a beautiful aromatic complexity, ripe fruit, and spicy aromas, with hints of roasted apples, apple compote, and peaches. On the palate, there is a...
Colheita Ports are Tawnies which come from a single vintage and are aged in 550 L old barrels for a minimum period of 7 years prior to bottling. This wine is a delicious way to end off a meal and also matches very well with...
The 2014 Millèsime is more forward than the 2013 bottling, with tremendous complexity from the Grand Cru vineyard source and 9 years on the lees. It is simply wonderful on its own, spectacular with food and certain to age beautifully if you...
