If you like big California reds like Caymus, this is an Italian bottle I’d put on your radar.

Gelso d’Oro comes from Podere 29, an organic winery in Puglia, and it’s made from Nero di T***a, one of southern Italy’s native red grapes.

It’s full-bodied, plush, and dark-fruited, with notes of vanilla and cacao. Rich and crowd-pleasing, but still distinctly Italian.

This is a great bottle for steak, lamb, short ribs, or a big dinner at home.

A 2012 Super Tuscan for $37.90.

If you’ve ever wanted to try an aged wine without jumping into expensive Bordeaux, Barolo, or Brunello pricing, this is a fun place to start.

Impetum from Tenute Marta Rosa is a Tuscan red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and a touch of Merlot.

At 12+ years old, it gives you that aged wine experience: darker fruit, softer edges, spice, and a little more depth than a young bottle.

Full-bodied, smooth, and very cool for the price.

Pinot Noir lovers, this one’s for you.

Blauburgunder is the German name for Pinot Noir, and in Alto Adige, way up in northern Italy near Austria, you see a lot of that German/Austrian influence on the labels, food, and wine culture.

This one from Cantina Kaltern is exactly why I love the region: fresh, silky, easy to drink, with ripe cherry, a little raspberry, and that smooth Pinot texture without being heavy.

My dad calls it a “beer wine” because it’s that easy to keep drinking.

Italians making a Bordeaux blend? Yeah. That’s basically how Bolgheri became famous.

This is Bolgheri, the Tuscan coast region behind legends like Sassicaia, Ornellaia, and Masseto.

No Sangiovese. No Nebbiolo. Instead: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.

Bordeaux grapes. Tuscan coastline. Steak-night personality.

The Bolgheri “Bridges” is the boldest red in our spring wine club lineup. Dark fruit, spice, fuller body, and enough structure to handle real food.

Pour it with steak, lamb, grilled meats, or a hearty ragu.

Save this for your next steak night.

Maybe I’ll get married someday…

Anyways, here’s a Beaune Les Mariages.

Les Mariages is a named vineyard site in Beaune, in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The name comes from an old local tradition: after wedding banquets, people in Beaune would stroll through this area at the foot of the hill, where different wedding parties would meet and mingle.

The wine is Pinot Noir: elegant, earthy, silky, red-fruited, and more about finesse than power.

What is Sancerre, and what should you drink it with?

Sancerre is Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley in France. Crisp, mineral, citrusy, and one of the best white wines on earth with seafood, goat cheese, oysters, sushi, or anything fresh.

This one is from François Reverdy, a small family producer farming in one of the most classic Sauvignon Blanc regions in the world.

If you’ve only had New Zealand or California Sauvignon Blanc, I highly encourage you to give Sancerre a go.

Recently sourced and sold: 1999 Barolo Monfortino Riserva from Giacomo Conterno.

If you know, you know.

Monfortino isn’t made every year. Only in vintages Conterno deems worthy.
Aged for years before release. This wine is made to last decades after.

1999 is a benchmark Piedmont vintage.
Structure, depth, and staying power that few wines can match.

Tar, rose, dried cherry, iron… and a remarkable finish.

100% Nebbiolo. Serralunga d’Alba.

A legendary wine, so meticulously made. It’s the Barolo other producers measure themselves against, if they even dare.

We have a collection of excellent everyday drinkers.
We source benchmarks too.

Recently sold: 1996 Château Lafite Rothschild.

One of the most iconic wines in the world. A First Growth since 1855, collected, traded, and admired for generations.

The 1996 is one of the great modern Bordeaux vintages, prized for structure, longevity, and classic Lafite precision.

Blackcurrant, cassis, cedar, to***co, and profound elegance.

Nearly three decades on, this is why great Bordeaux became legendary.

Opened a 2009 Taurasi at dinner the other night. Awesome vintage still going strong.

Taurasi is Aglianico from Campania, deep in southern Italy. They call it the “Barolo of the South” and it earns the name. Big tannins when young, but give it a decade and it turns into this beautifully smooth, earthy red. Black cherry, leather, to***co, licorice, a little volcanic edge from the Irpinia soil.

Aglianico is one of Italy’s most underrated grapes. Ages excellently, very unique. You can also start with a regular Aglianico wine or a Taurasini, before dropping money for the Taurasi’s price tag.

This one was from a wonderful winery named Bellaria.
