    Original price was: $65.00.Current price is: $32.50.

    There’s a VERY short list of Southern Rhône producers whose wines we consider must-haves in every vintage.  Louis Barruol’s Saint Cosme is one of them.  Barruol is the genius behind what critic Jeb Dunnuck called “unquestionably one of the reference point estates…in the entire southern Rhône Valley.” His tiny-production Châteauneuf hails from the appellation’s best…

    We had to slip past eager importers and sommeliers at Vinitaly to get our first taste of Baracchi’s O’Lillo years ago.
