'LE CIGARE VOLANT' RED
$13.99 BTL./$167.88 CASE
Bonny Doon’s Randall Grahm is one of the original Rhône Rangers, and this is the label that helped put both him and the category on the map.
Made from 69% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 14% Cinsault, and 2% Petite Sirah, it plays like a California Côtes-du-Rhône. Pepper, rhubarb, and blackberry lead into a forward, substantial texture, building toward a vibrant finish of strawberry, sage, and spice.

COTE-D'OR CHARDONNAY
SPECIAL - $39.99 BTL./$479.88 CASE
[reg. $53.99]...French Chardonnay lovers, do you want the Puligny-Montrachet experience without the Puligny price? This is your wine. Paul Pernot and his sons are legends in Puligny-Montrachet, crafting brilliant wines defined by sophistication, harmony, depth, dimension, and detail.
Grown near the Meursault border, Pernot’s Bourgogne Côte d’Or Chardonnay comes from vines planted in 1975, separated from Puligny-Montrachet village vines by only a pathway. A stony parcel declassified from Premier Cru Champ Canet adds even more depth. Floral notes mingle with orange, mineral, rosemary, and anise, leading into a wiry, nervy texture with the weight and richness of the 2023 vintage. Linear, complex, and long on the finish, it is ideal with sole or halibut in rich sauces. Drink over the next 6–7 years.

MCLAREN VALE 'FOOTBOLT'
$19.99 BTL./$239.88 CASE
Consider this the Critter-Wine Exterminator: a serious Australian red that eradicates the industrial, cutesy-label competition through topnotch quality. You know the wines—mass-produced bottles with animal mascots that are the same as taking the Cleveland Browns to the Super Bowl.
This flavorful, unapologetically Australian everyday red from McLaren Vale delivers an eruption of fruit and spice. Blackberry jam, briar, roasted earth, cinnamon, and cocoa lead into a mouth-filling, ripe, peppery texture. Pour this for a plethora of palates, and it is especially well-suited to a meat-filled gathering with friends.

LE MARCHES BIANCO
$17.99 LITER BTL./$215.88 CASE
Made entirely from Verdicchio grown in alluvial soils rich in limestone and chalk, Fabio Marchionni’s declassified Matelica white captures the spirit of an Italian picnic wine: lively, delicious, and full of charm.
Citrus and powdery stone notes carry from start to finish, framed by bright confidence and the cool-climate, acidity-driven style that defines Matelica. Once uncorked, it is dangerously easy to keep pouring from this liter bottle—you’ve been warned.

2019 CHATEAU DU GLANA
SAINT-JULIEN
$39.99 BTL./$479.88 CASE
SAINT-JULIEN
$39.99 BTL./$479.88 CASE
Located between Beychevelle and Saint-Julien, directly opposite famed Bordeaux Second Growth Ducru-Beaucaillou, Château du Glana has an impressive pedigree. Founded in 1870, its original 12 acres came from Fourth Growth Château Saint-Pierre. Gabriel Meffre acquired the estate in 1961 and expanded it to 112 acres with parcels from Third Growth Château Lagrange. Respectable neighborhood, indeed.
The 2019 is superb, showing classic Saint-Julien red tones, abundant crème de cassis, raspberry, and Cabernet-driven character in a 60/40 Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot blend. Rich and densely textured, it gains layers, tannic grip, and structure as it opens. Loaded and lingering, it has enormous potential, yet at age seven can already be enjoyed with a fine dinner, especially ribeye or duck breast.

'LE CARJOT'
$26.99 BTL./$323.88 CASE
The Gamay vines for this impressive Cru Beaujolais grow in ancient, craggy, weathered blue-stone soils, producing a more structured and sturdy expression with echoes of the famed, now-retired Lebeaupin Clos de la Brosse. This site may be even more impressive.
From the robust 2022 vintage, aromas of black plum, dark chocolate, coffee, peony, black licorice, and black pepper rise from the glass. On the palate, it is full-flavored and expansive, with sneaky structure, prominent minerality, and plenty of generosity. Layered and refined, it should age well for a decade and pairs beautifully with bacon-wrapped beef filet, steak au poivre, Gruyère or Comté macaroni and cheese, leg of lamb, or Korean BBQ.

DOLCETTO D'ALBA

DOLCETTO D'ALBA
$19.99 BTL./$239.88 CASE
Based in Barbaresco, Luigi Giordano is one of the region’s sentinels of traditional winemaking, a philosophy that extends well beyond Nebbiolo.
This is a dreamy Dolcetto: ruby-red rather than purple and enjoyable at room temperature or slightly chilled. Penetrating aromatics, a subtle spicy/earth note, and the soulful yet smooth, fresh, balanced character Dolcetto does so well. The finish bursts with flavor—like a mostly well-behaved dog suddenly stealing your slice of pizza. Speaking of pizza, it pairs well with New York-style slices, tempura zucchini, steak or tuna tartare, cheeseburgers, or penne Bolognese.

2013 PIETRO CLEMENTI AMARONE
$65.99 BTL./$395.94 - SIX PACK
$65.99 BTL./$395.94 - SIX PACK
Former attorney Pietro Clementi founded his Amarone estate in 1969 and has long favored balance and tradition. His wines reject the heavy new oak and overextraction that defined many 1990s examples, focusing instead on poise and suaveness.
We rarely offer older Amarone, but this wine shows elegance from the first aromas of rich fruit through the long, lingering finish. Notes of spiced plum, dried cherry, fig, dark Valrhona chocolate, and roasted almond rise from the glass. The same velvety richness fills the palate with lush berry fruit, balanced by fine-grained ripe tannins, elegant structure, and a deeply flavorful finish.

SPECIAL - $14.99 BTL./$179.88 CASE
[reg. $34.99] – 60 bottles available…Another liquidation offer from a distributor that is soon closing. Founded by Ernesto Catena, Tikal reflects a top-to-bottom passion for Malbec and high-altitude Mendoza vineyard sites at 3,200+ feet. These wines are normally pricey and high quality; at this price, they deserve your attention.
Deep and decadent, with abundant notes of blackberry, dark cherry, Indian spice, violet, and cocoa-laced tobacco. The palate is ripe and lush, offering velvety texture and smooth, plummy fruit, with just enough tannin for structure. For maximum pleasure, decant thirty minutes before serving. Drink through 2034 with grilled steak and chimichurri, spicy pork dishes, or penne Bolognese.

COTEAUX DU LOIR BLANC
$19.99 BTL./$239.88 CASE
From a lesser-known, picturesque corner of the Loire’s Loir tributary comes this terrific dry white, made entirely from Chenin Blanc.
High voltage in the glass: pear, ginger, and quinine frame vivid rocky minerality. Transparent yet ample, with razor-sharp lemon-lime briskness and a taut, focused finish. Serious yet playful Chenin to drink over 6–8 years with salmon, trout, or young goat cheese.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY
$26.99 BTL./$323.88 CASE
Last Call…Blended from Abbey Ridge, Clos Electrique, La Colina, and a portion of White Oak, this is John Paul’s far-above-average entry cuvée. It outshines many forty-dollar wines and benefits from the remarkable 2024 vintage.
Plum, pepper, roses, red earth, cranberry, nutmeg, and smoke lead into a nimble, rich, harmonious palate and long peppery finish. Extremely attractive now, this may be the finest version yet and should age gracefully for 7–8 years.

FREDERICKS VINEYARD
$39.99 BTL./$479.88 CASE
For decades, Turley has made Zinfandel in a bold, full-throttle style. Fredericks Vineyard sits on Howell Mountain in Napa Valley, and Turley has made Zinfandel from this site since 2006.
“Magnitude” perfectly captures this wine. Mint-laced chocolate, cassis, and cherry aromas rise with notes of cedar, smoked meat, pepper, and nutmeg. Broad and bold, it shows penetrating fruit, warmth, and depth, finishing with pronounced briar and licorice.

SAUVIGNON COLUMBIA VALLEY
$23.99 BTL./$287.88 CASE
Avennia’s second label delivers a vastly undervalued Washington Cabernet Sauvignon that punches well above its weight and outperforms many wines at twice the price.
Vanilla and cocoa notes wrap around generous black cherry, smoke, cola, and milk chocolate, all glistening as soon as the wine is poured. The palate is stylish and dense, with the steady, mouth-coating flavors expected from these excellent wines. Layered, forward, and accessible, it is ideal with steak or short ribs; enjoy through 2031.

CONTRADA RINAZZO
SPECIAL - $59.99 BTL./$359.94 - 6 PK
[reg. $71.99]…After years in wine, we are still learning. Antonio Benanti’s visit last year taught us that Etna Bianco “Superiore” applies only to sites in Milo, on the mountain’s east side.
Contrada means single vineyard on Etna, and Rinazzo surely ranks as Grand Cru. Facing the sea at 2,600 feet on fine ancient lava soils, it offers saline yellow fruit, perfume, seashells, and superb minerality. Focused and intense, it bursts with briny lime, orange peel, persimmon, and vivid fruit while staying stony and vertical. Delicious now, it should age 15+ years. In Burgundy, it would cost four times more.

BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO
$54.99 BTL./$329.94 - 6 PK
People and publications often name their desert-island albums, foods, and more. If I had to choose a desert-island Brunello, it would be Livio Sassetti Pertimali. I have bought, sold, cellared, and drunk these wines since the 1990 vintage, and a generation later, their quality still floors me.
Brunello di Montalcino’s 2021 vintage has fans in a frenzy, and this top producer only raises the excitement. From Montosoli hill, just north of the village, it delivers deep fruit, bold structure, balance, finesse, and breed in a silky, substantial frame. Aromatic and classy, it layers blackberry, violet, mineral, hot rock, roasted coffee, and savory spice. Charming now, but best from 2029 onward as its depth and complexity unfold.

Domaine La Manarine comes from Plan de Dieu in Provence, a terroir long linked with classic Côtes-du-Rhône. Founded by Gilles Gasq in 2001, this young family estate spans 40 acres and has quickly earned an impressive reputation.
Grenache dominates this part of Côtes-du-Rhône, and this bottling comes entirely from 40-year-old vines. Sultry blackberry meets vivid grenadine, Provençal and Thai spice, olive, silky tannins, and impressive length. With strong palate presence and soulful Rhône character, it is an impeccable value at sixteen dollars.
