“Best ever?” That’s the question James Suckling posed in his 96-point review of the 2015 La Rasina Brunello di Montalcino. Our raised eyebrows and pointed glances at each other after one sip of this generously jam-packed wine proved as definitive an answer as any at this year’s Benvenuto Brunello event in San Francisco. A classic…
If you love Brunello di Montalcino, you probably already know the glory of 2015. Wine Advocate wrote, “Fruit has never been more beautiful than it was in the picture-perfect 2015 vintage…leaving no wine untouched by its magic.” La Serena’s 2015 Gemini Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a tiny-production, organically farmed beauty that any Brunello lover…
La Storia’s Impressive Alexander Valley Cabernet This past fall, we visited Trentadue’s beautiful winery in Geyserville. The surprise of the visit? Their “La Storia” Cabernet Sauvignon, which hails from the same spiritual Alexander Valley Cabernet grounds precious to Silver Oak and Jordan Winery. And we’ve enjoyed those Cabernets for as long as we can remember….

Rare Gem from a 120 Year-Old Family Estate Thanks to our Chief Wine Officer, Master of Wine Matt Deller’s relationship with Argentina’s venerable Pescarmona family, we’ve secured a coveted 200-bottle allocation of this rare and prestigious Malbec.

Crafted by 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Winemaker of the Year Dan Petroski, the 2015 Larkmead Vineyards Dr. Olmo Cabernet earned a 97-point score from Vinous and inspired this rave from Antonio Galloni: “What a gorgeous wine it is.” It’s a bottle that keeps company with Napa’s absolute crème de la crème. Both astoundingly complex and…
One of the great runs in Napa Valley is over. For the last decade, SF Chronicle Winemaker of the Year Dan Petroski has led Larkmead Vineyards, crafting classic wines, earning sky-high scores, and bringing the historic estate’s quality in line with its formidable history. But Dan’s tenure at Larkmead just ended, which is why we’re…
Napa Valley collectors can break the bank trying to secure absolute first-class quality for the cellar. The 98-point 2015 Larkmead Vineyards LMV Salon Proprietary Red brings the rare kind of power and elegance that collectors chase, yet comes at a fraction of the price of its brethren. Even better, Wine Access members at an incredible price,…
The Rosé of Kings: The Manly, Dry Pinks of Tavel Ernest Hemingway was one of the 20th century’s most celebrated man of letters. He was also a highly opinionated (and legendarily thirsty) connoisseur of wine. Fitting then that his favorite style of Rosé, hailing from the Southern Rhône’s Tavel AOC, would so closely resemble his…
Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s “Wow” Vintage The 2015 Le Clos du Caillou “Les Safres” is a richly textured, organically-grown Châteauneuf-du-Pape. When Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate hails a red wine “as seamless and sexy as they come,” and awards a stunning 93-95 points, we pay attention. Clos du Caillou’s regular Chateauneuf du Pape is highly regarded, but today;s “Les…
You won’t find Le Clos du Caillou on a map of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It’s not an error. In 1895, the château launched as a hunting club with no interest in winemaking. When government experts dropped by to survey the land for inclusion within Châteauneuf-du-Pape in 1936, they were greeted with drawn shotguns. The experts got off…
2015 remains one of the Barolo vintages of our lifetime, full of wines that James Suckling described as “thrilling to taste.” Even within the breathtaking quality of the year, though, Le Ginestre’s Sottocastello di Novello stands out for its quality and approachable price—a 95-point single-vineyard powerhouse that we’re able to offer our members for a…
Dubbed by legendary sommelier and author Rajat Parr as one of the top three Brunello di Montalcino producers, Le Ragnaie has shot to icon status for its elegant expression of Sangiovese. Their 96-point 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is a graceful and beautifully restrained classic from one of the best vintages of the decade. Wine Advocate…
Top-Rated Under-$15 White EVER on WineAccess When enologists Stéphane and Marjorie Gallet studied France’s wine routes back in 2001, the choices were few, given their modest billfolds. Burgundy was priced out of consideration, as were Stéphane’s Northern Rhône stomping grounds. The Loire was tempting, but cold. Bordeaux just seemed dull. But the more they learned…
One of the World’s Best Does It Again Any legitimate discussion about the world’s best Chardonnay has to include a handful of names. On the West Coast, it’s Kongsgaard, Kistler, Aubert, and Ramey. In the Côte de Beaune, it’s Comtes Lafon, Ramonet, Coche-Dury, LeFlaive, and Latour (And DRC, if you can even find a bottle…
A Top 100 Favorite’s Chardonnay Steal Oregon’s Willamette Valley is emerging as one of the West Coast’s top sites for Chardonnay. We are proud to offer the 92-point 2015 Lemelson Vineyards Chardonnay Reserve Willamette Valley, our first-ever Chardonnay from one of our top Oregon Pinot performers.

Where World Class Chardonnay and Value Collide The quest for great American Chardonnay often ends up in Oregon. And in its most respected region, the Willamette Valley, Lemelson is a phenomenal and wildly affordable example of the best there is, a blend of two unique microclimates that, when combined, achieve incredible heights. The Lemelson 2015…
2015 was a dream year across France: Growers in every region marveled at the warm, dry weather that made farming easy and allowed them to pick at perfect ripeness—and once the wines started hitting the market, collectors got the memo FAST. That’s why we feel extremely lucky to have scored a cellar-steal from one of…
A Star is Born—This Red is Proof In the Napa Valley, the whispers have become increasingly audible. Randy Hester, who cut his teeth under 100-point winemakers Andy Erickson, Michel Rolland, and Helen Keplinger, is fast becoming a star. For now, his wines are what sommeliers dream of—under priced and over-delivering—but if the market has any…
