Been a while since we’ve had some good ol’ fashioned Aussie treasures to trumpet but Jim Barry’s Jane Ferrari’s visit last Friday gave us a chance to sink our noses into two truly wonderful values from the Clare Valley. This...
OK. This wine, quite honestly, is the kind of value that could drive us out of business. What I mean is that we would need to sell an awful lot of $12 Barbera to pay our rent here in Dublin. But a deal is a deal and when one this good...

Speaking of Willamette Valley whites, how about this thoroughly delightful, crisp, unoaked lemon-infused Chardonnay from Stoller Family Vineyard? If Pinot Gris has become a ‘thing’ in Oregon, Chardonnay is now neck and neck, if not in terms of quantity,...

The bluest of Bandol blue chips have also arrived. Can you believe Bastide Blanche, one of the most venerable of all producers in Bandol is half the price of Domaine Tempier? That probably won’t stop you from getting some Tempier, though. I know it...
Olga does Rose???? There are lots and lots of Raffaults along the Loire Valley of France but there was only one Olga Raffault. In her many years growing and making wine in Chinon, she secured for herself a particularly rarified place in the wine...
