2006 UGO LEQUIO Barbera d’Alba “Gallina” $13.95 bottle/ $135.00 case Here we go again. This Lequio Barbera closeout mania started with the ’04, went to ’05 last year, and now we have an absolutely screaming deal on the 2006 vintage, which is a colossally great vintage for Piedmont in general and Lequio in particular. Intense…

2012 OWEN ROE Abbot’s Table: the best yet??!
2012 OWEN ROE Abbot’s Table $23.95 bottle/ $232.00 case It is always interesting to watch the maturation process winemakers go through. Early on in his career at Sineann and Owen Roe David O’Reilly’s wines were all about power, high alcohol, and ripeness. They were without question delicious, but sometimes lacking nuance, a bit one dimensional…
Grochau Cellars RED: why pay more for less?
2010 GROCHAU CELLARS “RED” Claret $14.95 btl/ $145.00 case One of the things I love in my work is rediscovering old favorite wines. Things I may not have paid much attention to because of the static from other wines crowding my band width. Obvious case in point is John Grochau’s always reliable and always delicious…
Sauvignon Sensation!!
2011 CEDRICK BARDIN Sancerre $19.95 btl/ $195.00 case If asked to define “zesty” with a bottle of wine I would probably just hand the questioner a bottle of VINO favorite Cedrick Bardin’s current release of Sancerre and let the wine speak for itself. I love sauvignon blanc from the Sancerre appellation, especially in Bardin’s very…
Bellene’s Burgundy Bargain!
2010 MAISON ROCHE DE BELLENE Bourgogne Pinot Noir “Vieilles Vignes” $20.95 btl/ $205.00 I almost feel sorry for some of our local winemakers when I have a French red burgundy this good in stock. For less than what one pays for many an entry level Oregon noir you can have an amazingly complex, earthy, rich,…
Brunello di Montalcino: Sangiovese’s Sublime Side!
2004 SOLARIA Brunello di Montalcino
$41.95 bottle/ $220.00 six pack/ $400.00 case
Brunello di Montalcino is one of the greatest red wines in the world. Period. No arguments. It is where the distinctive sangiovese grape achieves it peak. There’s a reason the clone of sangiovese used in the vineyards of Brunello is called sangiovese grosso. Nowhere else does it become as complex, character-filled, and flavorsome. This vintage…
