In the northeast corner of Italy, in the foothills of the Alps, just before they rise in elevation to rugged snow-capped peaks, eventually giving way to Switzerland, there’s a tiny, rural place called Novara, smack in the Colline Novaresi DOC. Roughly an hour northwest of Milan, the small, family-run wineries in Colline Novaresi, which is…
We couldn’t wait to make this magic, golden-hued release from a Central Coast icon available to our members. From the first sip—thrilling with dense pineapple and bright grapefruit peel, fragrant with jasmine—it ticked every box for what we want in a top California Chardonnay, and at a seldom-seen bargain price. Vinous calls the 2016 Calera…
Many California winemakers strive to emulate Bordeaux for its freshness, austerity, minerality, and tension, but few are able to succeed in the under $50 segment—let alone under $30. Fewer still receive the “Top 100 Winery” endorsement from Wine & Spirits, and can boast inclusion among “25 of Our Favorite Under-the-Radar California Reds” from Food &…
When Tor Kenward, the ex-Beringer exec and proprietor of TOR wines (the stratospheric-scoring mailing-list Cabernets we’ve offered a handful of times) raves about a wine he loves, we investigate immediately. Especially when that wine carries its own imposing 96+-point Parker score and “Impressive!” declaration. That would be today’s 2016 Cami Estate Red Wine Napa Valley—the…
This summer, our Italian sojourn took us to some of the most famous vineyards in Tuscany. And with a few days to spare, the tempting option was to put our feet up and revel in the region’s legendary good life. We resisted. Instead, we road-tripped it 300 miles down the spine of Italy and east…
When we tasted Campo alle Noci’s Brunello upon release a year ago, we reserved the entire American allocation for our members—it’s THAT good. We sold out almost immediately, and the 94-point wine has gone on to earn a member-rating that’s the second highest for any 2016 Brunello, above classic names that cost nearly twice as…
We’re running out of superlatives for the 2016 vintage in Chianti. Vinous, for one, thinks the 98-point year rates as the greatest ever in the region, calling it “truly exceptional” and “simply extraordinary…a consistently brilliant vintage across the board.” Unfortunately, most 2016 Chiantis are long gone from the market. However, we nabbed an allocation of…
We taste hundreds of Chianti Classicos a year. Many are perfectly satisfactory pizza wines. A few epitomize what we love about the region, capturing the dusty tannins, floral delicacy, and fine imprint of terroir that elevate the Sangiovese grape. And a much smaller fraction of that number, just a handful of bottles per annum, manage…
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino vintage is a must-collect for ALL red wine lovers. Decanter rated the vintage 5/5. Wine Advocate gave it a 98. James Suckling called it a contender for Brunello’s greatest ever and Vinous wondered aloud whether it might be perfect—and there might not be a better bottle to cellar than Capanna’s…
“It’s an honest steal at the price,” our VP of Wine Eduardo Dingler said as he passed this bottle around the table. And Eduardo, Napa’s unofficial mayor and the guy who oversaw over 20 restaurants around the globe, knows a thing or two about wine prices. “Anyone who loves Russian River Pinot knows that for…
Screaming Eagle Alum’s $75 Blockbuster Red Today’s 2016 Carbone Red Wine Napa Valley hails from one of Napa’s greatest power couples—Andy Erickson and Annie Favia. Annie’s viticultural work began with David Abreu, shepherding Napa’s Grand Cru vineyards for Harlan, Screaming Eagle, Ovid, Sloan, Bryant, Colgin, and Staglin. Andy’s first winemaking job was with John Kongsgaard…
The 93-point 2016 Carlin de Paolo Barolo is one of the best Barolo deals we’ve ever offered. The product of a small, fourth-generation winery and one of Barolo’s greatest vintages, this is a serious wine—don’t let the price fool you. Bold and intense with beautiful aromas of dark fruit, truffles, and spice, it demands your…
Crafted by Food & Wine Winemaker of the Year Helen Keplinger, Carte Blanche showcases the 100-point talent behind cult Napa labels like Bryant Family Vineyard and Grace Family, as well as the pedigree of proprietor Nicholas Allen: His family’s company, Domaine Clarence Dillon, owns the revered Bordeaux Châteaux Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion—for whose wines…
The 2016 Carte Blanche Proprietary Red is a monument—statuesque in its grandeur. Deep and dark as midnight, suffused with perfect blackberry and blueberry, cacao, graphite, and tobacco. Jeb Dunnuck called it “St. Emilion-like,” a “powerful yet elegant wine from Keplinger.” For a wine of this stature—one crafted by a hall-of-famer like Helen Keplinger and comprised…
The 2016 vintage was one of Brunello’s best ever: Wine Advocate awarded it 98 points, while Wine Spectator rated it a 99, their best score ever. Those raves sparked a collector feeding frenzy—and by and large, that run is over. It’s no surprise that excellent 2016 bottles, which Vinous described as “well-muscled black stallions in…
On August 22, 2019, Antonio Galloni of Vinous—for our money, one of the greatest Italian-wine critics out there—hit “publish” on a post about the 2016 Chianti Classico vintage. At 1,800+ words, it was a long one. But that’s not what made it remarkable. The piece, titled “2016 Chianti Classico—A Modern Day Benchmark” was as pure…
It had been a long February day in Chianti, overbooked with tastings, and we were glad to be settling in Panzano for a relaxing evening before another day rushing from appointment to appointment. Frankly, the day had been a bit of a disappointment, with dud wines or laughably high prices (or both)—the unfortunately common price…
A Taste of the “Other” Land Down Under Neal Martin of Vinous recently wrote “no country, no wine region has been as dynamic, progressive or indeed, as exciting as South Africa.” Tim Atkin quickly agreed, praising today’s 2016 Cederburg Shiraz for its “dark plum and boysenberry fruit,” and “spicy oak,” adding another 93-point score to…
We first tasted the inky, dark-fruited 2016 Cellers de Scala Dei Prior Scala Dei in the Catalan village of Porrera, at a hole-in-the-wall called Restaurant La Cooperativa. It had pastel walls, low ceilings, mismatched tablecloths, and a to-die-for braised lamb shoulder—sublime with the old-vine blend the gregarious proprietor had poured into our glasses. Perfect dish,…
You may not be familiar with Chaix Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa’s hallowed Rutherford appellation. That’s because their grapes usually hide under other labels, including: Joseph Phelps Insignia BV Private Reserve Buoncristiani Orin Swift Each one of these prestigious wines is well worth its triple-digit price tag, which shows the kind of brilliance Chaix can deliver. Their own…
