This year's holiday sake extravaganza is bigger and better than ever. In an unending
quest to bring new sake to the market, we've gone for 12 full size
bottles this year which include mostly Namazake. There's still a virtual
brewery tour and a kick off party too. The booklet has doubled in size
with detailed pictures and history of each brewery. Since it's not tied
to the days of the month, the Holiday Box can be gifted anytime in
December. 

Livio Sassetti’s Pertimali Estate on the north side of the Montalcino hill is, along with Felsina’s Rancia vineyard, my favorite terroir in Tuscany.

Elite Oregon bubbles, 2024 Cameron Chardonnay, and a newcomer called Parsec with a fantastic single vinerad Chardonnay.

As you know, Elio Grasso and Cavallotto are two pillars of Barolo, both
with long and distinguished histories of making great Barolo.

We will be receiving a smallish allocation of 2021 Fratelli Alessandria, Luigi Vico and Diego Conterno Baroli inmid-to-late Octoberand are now taking orders for these wines which will likely be sold out by the time they arrive. We tasted most of these wines last week and loved them!  Don’t mess around - first come, first served.

Deals or any sense of real value are far and few in between these days in Burgundy. Between tariffs, the dollar losing ground to the euro and the general state of Burgundy pricing, prices have soared. Well, here we have two White Burgundy estates: one from the far north of Burgundy and one from the south, that offer outstanding value by any measure. 

Walter Scott is not just one of Oregon’s top wineries, Walter Scott is one of the new world’s greatest wineries. Many insiders and wine critics will tell you that Walter Scott issues some of the new world’s greatest Chardonnay, not to mention thrilling Pinot Noirs.
