Winter Closeout

Encore Un Verre 2023 is the wine that begs for "just one more glass!" With its vibrant ruby hue and a smooth blend of Syrah and Grenache, this bold French Red delivers a symphony of flavors — think blackberry, black cherry, and black plum, all wrapped up in a kiss of cocoa. Full-bodied but never overwhelming, it pairs perfectly with prosciutto, pasta with tomato sauce, and even a savory burger. Whether you're with friends or flying solo, this wine's dark fruit flavors and friendly structure make it the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

El Persa Albariño captures the essence of Portugal’s sunlit shores in every sip. Light-bodied and refreshingly dry, it brims with crisp green apple, zesty citrus, delicate white flowers, and a hint of wet stone. This wine shines alongside grilled lobster, seared scallops, or a flaky, herb-roasted branzino. For something lighter, try it with a tangy goat cheese salad. No matter where you are, this wine brings a taste of the coast to your glass —bright, breezy, and endlessly inviting.

A captivating Coonawarra Cab from the same producer as Lot 834!

Pitch perfect deep ruby on the pour, the nose is the first indication of grand elegance on this wine; red cherry fruit is delineated against new soft Leather delicately wrapped in dried herb bouquets - there is a real sense of place here. The palate is much more structured than the elegant nose may let on, rich and weighted against black cherry fruit with perfectly integrated, linear tannin framed by medium+ acidity. The finish is dry and all terroir: dried herbs persist shifting against resonant waves of plum, Cassis, and vanilla along its long exit.

An incredible find from a tragic situation; the trade war between China and Australia that played out a few years back left a hefty portion of premium juice destined for mainland Asia in limbo, and who better to slide in and score you one of the deals of the decade? From a premier house's top-end program, we scored a killer price on their high-end, newly surplus Cabernet Sauvignon. Regularly reaching for just under the triple digit mark (before astronomical restaurant markups), we're very excited to offer you this Cab at $20/bottle - a massive pass of this deal's savings onto yourselves!

Lot 835, like Lot 834, has no expense spared in its production, and a water-tight NDA to match. Not much can be said except you've probably heard of the original producer (if you hang in the high-end Aussie circles) and you'll probably never get this wine in the US as it was never produced to come here (unless you know a smuggling collector or the like). Stock up (and cellar down), a deal like this comes around but once in a decade.

Fans of sparkling will enjoy this zesty and fresh, open and expansive Chenin Blanc. Yours today for just $11!

The Lot 918 is zesty and fresh, bursting out the gate with White Flowers, lime blossoms, candied peach, and Apricot cream. Open and expansive on entry, with waves of beautiful silken fruit that call to mind kiwi, Apricots, poached pear, peach ring, and even a hint of WaterMelon rind.

A fruit orchard in a glass. We wish we could tell you the source winery for this alluring white, but an NDA prevents us from spilling the beans. We can tell you the Chenin Blanc grapes for Lot 918 come from a sustainably-farmed single vineyard along a winding river delta in Clarksburg, an hour and a half east of Napa. This area is known for its hot summer weather and long growing season. Cool breezes flow along the delta to bring temperatures down at night during those summer months of heat in California’s Central Valley.

Now that you’ve got the picture Lot 918, imagine this: you, with a chilled glass of this off-dry Chenin in hand, surrounded by an appetizer bar stocked with plump, ripe, juicy farmer’s market fresh strawberries with whipped cream and chocolate sauce for dipping. It’s the kind of scene we’ll be repeating every Friday night for the foreseeable future. Will you join us?

Belli Monde Primitivo from Italy is a bold, delicious wine that lives up to its name‚ "Beautiful World". Aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries rise from the glass, inviting you into a rich, full-bodied embrace. On the palate, juicy plum and raspberry mingle with a touch of earthiness, all wrapped in velvety tannins. This expressive Italian red is the perfect match for slow-braised short ribs, wood-fired pizza, or a hearty plate of pasta bolognese. With Belli Monde, every glass is a taste of la dolce vita.

Prosecco fans, take note. Our Cuvée Prestige bottling from Abbazia is produced in the Charmat method, ensuring a refreshing sparkling wine with a complex palate of flavors and tiny, concentrated bubbles. It is fruity and pleasant, with a balance of golden apple and spring flower flavors on top of a dry finish. We can think of no better way to celebrate than with this non-vintage sparkling wine made from Glera, the famous Italian Prosecco grapes from Lombardy's Collio vineyards.

Awarded 93 points by prestigious Wine Orbit publisher Sam Kim, this wine delivers everything you could want from a great Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Kim praises it as “...fresh and lively,” noting aromas of green apple, kiwifruit, cantaloupe, and lemon peel, followed by a fruit-expressive palate with excellent vibrancy and a long, refreshing finish. Bursting with flavors of lime, white nectarine, ruby grapefruit, and a hint of wet stone, this straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc is best served chilled and pairs beautifully with seafood, chicken dishes, and Asian-inspired cuisine.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, is this Riesling the fairest wine of all? It certainly makes a good case with its sweet, seductive fruit notes of lemon, lychee, and peach, along with delicate aromas of white flowers. Medium-bodied and slightly sweet, this California wine pairs beautifully with semi-hard cheeses like cheddar and gouda. It’s also delightful with sushi and spicy Indian and Chinese dishes.
