The Best White Wine You Have Never Heard Of...

2013 Gramona Gessami

Release Price: $19.99 (Click HERE to see)
Winestore Price: $14.99
SALE Price: $12.99 (net)
SAVE 35%

SALE RUNS WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 19th - SUNDAY FEBRUARY 23rd, 2014


Given it is going to be 72 degrees outside, we have decided to go ahead and throw out our first white wine offering of the year - and it is a doozie.

One of the coolest wines you've never heard of, the Gramona Gessami bottling is a lip-smackingly dry blend of  Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer and Moscatel. Gramona is the best cava producer, period, but it turns out they can make lovely still wine too. We have been drinking this stuff for years, but it suffers a bit of an identity crisis. The bottle, the Gessami is in, is as tall as they come and people automatically assume the wine is going to be sweet, and tend to stay away. So we are here to tell you - ignore the crazy tall bottle and just trust us. If you love Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc (or even Conundrum) this is a must try. Also, as an added bonus, the label is in braille so should you find yourself searching your wine cabinet in a power outage you are guaranteed to find the right bottle.

We'll have this little gem up on the machines at all 3 stores for you to try through Sunday. We think you will love it as much as we do!!

Nothing is going to warm you up after the crazy weather this week like gigantic full throttle red wine! Every couple of months we put together a tasting with the biggest wines we can find out on the market. People absolutely LOVE really big wine. Wine that stains the teeth, enough alcohol to run your hybrid and thick jammy, fruit. Well, we decided to go out and find some of the absolute biggest flavored wines that exist on the planet. Big Garnacha from Spain, gigantic Shiraz from Australia, and even some monster Cabernet from powerhouse Caymus Vineyards. There are some wine writers that would describe these wines as "Hedonistic Thermonuclear Fruit Bombs" and that is exactly what these are...heck, one of these wines was recently described by one of the most powerful wine writers in the world as "a modern day legend in the making"!

Sooo - if you are looking to enjoy some really amazing wine this weekend, a few of the gems that we will have on the machine on Saturday definitely qualify in the "cult" wine category.

Call your best friends, draw straws to see who's going to be the D.D. and bring everyone to the tasting!  The wines are going to be AMAZING!!!

Darioush Malbec and A Snow Weather Special!

2010 Darioush "Capataz" Malbec

Release Price: $49.99
Winestore Price: $39.99 (net)
SAVE 20%

LOWEST PRICE IN THE USA


All three stores will be closed today so we can go play in the snow, but that does not mean we can't offer you a deal!

Also - snow weather special! First person to e-mail us a picture of our logo created in the snow gets a bottle of Capataz on the house! You can e-mail your entry HERE.

Back in early January we decided we needed to carry a nicer Malbec for all you Malbec enthusiasts out there. After much searching we decided on Darioush Capataz Malbec. We picked up the rest of the 2009 vintage our distributor had in stock and without even sending out a newsletter, you guys bought up our entire stock in just one week. Message received...you want more Capataz.

The Malbec grape has generally only proven interesting in the elevated foothills of the Argentine Andes, and Napa winemaker Darioush Khaledi has a knack for turning interesting into amazing. This is the first non Napa wine that Darioush has crafted, and he has only rolled out a measly 400 six packs. Hailing from the Tupungato region of Mendoza, this wine is all about power and plushness.

So here is the 2010 Capataz for you, just arrived in time for the storm and ready to roll! If big, intense and powerful Malbec is right in your wheelhouse....you're gonna need you some of this!

Insane Value From Whitehall Lane!

2011 Whitehall Lane Tre Leoni


Winery Price: $23.99
Winestore Price: $19.99 (net)

SAVE 17%

This wine was a "sleeper" hit of 2013. It basically was on cruise control and sold like crazy, without any of us really giving it the push it so clearly deserved. So due to our "support" of this wine last year, in comes a better price for this year. Now that this wine has fallen below $20 retail (last year price was $23.99) we have to say that this is some insane value. No, it's not $5 or something like that, but in the middle of a snowstorm curled up next to the fire this is a home run!

Whitehall Lane has long been one of the most well respected producers in Napa Valley. So here you have one of Napa Valley's most consistent and well respected producers offering a delightful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Why this blend? Because if delicious fruit is good, a lot of delicious fruit just has to be better!

We'll have this gem up on the machine at all three stores for you to taste, and we feel pretty confident you'll love it as much as we do!

We need to get this wine in a blind tasting asap!

Epic 2005 California Cabernet

2005 Laurel Glen Cabernet

Winestore Price: $59.99 (net)

If you think California Cabernet is most exciting when it combines the state’s lush fruit with grace, balance and even mineral notes, you might already be a fan of Laurel Glen Cabernets, grown in a remarkable place called Sonoma Mountain. The elevation, angle and aspect are such that Laurel Glen’s vineyard sees more hours of sunshine than most, but less direct heat and baking sun than other comparable spots amongst California’s favored Cabernet vineyards. These are all VERY good things.

You probably know Laurel Glen, I mean we gush over this wine time and time again. Heck, we even had the owner here last year pouring the 1992 Laurel Glen for you at one of our best tastings of the year. So now I can tell you that we have a sweetheart offer for you directly from the wonderful people at Laurel Glen.

As a thank you to the wonderful customers at winestore. for their support, they have released to you 40 six packs of 2005 Laurel Glen Estate Cabernet. That's right. 9 year old California Cabernet aged at the winery and delivered to you in perfect condition. Folks, I can count the number of times something like this happens on one hand.

So here is your chance, just in time for Valentine's Day (yes, it is next week people!) to grab a California legend, from a legendary vintage at a consumer friendly price for such a treasure.

We only get 40 six packs but we hope you enjoy them as much as we do - we're taking a bottle home tonight!
