Wine Enthusiast
(11/1/2019) "A new offering from the producer, this blends together Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it offers sleek flavors of strawberry puree and brioche that benefit from crisp acidity and stony texture. Balanced and fresh, it finishes in lemon peel and flowers."

J. Lassalle "Cuvee Preference'' 1er Cru Brut Champagne NV
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $37.99!

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(11/2018) "Lassalle's NV Preference is a pretty Champagne to drink over the next few years, while the citrus and floral notes retain their freshness and brightness. Airy and gracious, the Preference is very nicely done. The Preference is a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay, but the Chardonnay seems to really drive the flavor and overall feel. A fine mousse adds to the wine's considerable appeal. Dosage is 9 grams per liter."

Peake Ranch Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay 2015
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $36.99!

Jeb Dunnuck
(8/2/2017) "The first vintage for this cuvee it was created with the idea to improve the quality of the single vineyard. The 2015 Chardonnay Santa Maria Valley is a stunning value that offers classic buttered stone fruits, toasted nuts and honeysuckle in a rich, texture, balanced style. It way over delivers at the price and is a terrific wine. It's one of the larger production releases as well (536 cases), so hopefully you can find a few bottles."

Cantina Giba "6 Mura" Carignano del Sulcis 2013
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $34.99!
92
Our Score
(3/2020) Giba in Sardinia produces just 8,000 cases of all bottlings together, but this very-old-vine Carignan reflects a tiny percentage of this production, representing the top-level wine from this winery. The wine features extremely-expressive nose full of smoky red berry, savory green herb that is the perfect combination of fruit and clean dry finish. It is at both abundant in fruit and forward deliciousness, as well as appetizing with harmonious acidity and a long, clean mineral finish. Drinking at its apogee today, and a hit at 2020 "Big Reds" in Barrington. World Class Carignan.

Anthony Thevenet "Vieilles Vignes" Chenas 2017
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $35.99!

Vinous, Josh Raynolds
(10/2019) "Shimmering ruby. Highly perfumed cherry, dark berry, spicecake and violet aromas show very good focus and energy. Bright and seamless on the palate, offering sharply delineated black currant and bitter cherry flavors and an exotic touch of blood orange. Lingers with resonating floral and mineral character on the gently tannic finish, which shows very good tension and sneaky tannins."

Bodegas Bhilar "Terca" Rioja Blanco 2010
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $29.99!
Cool closeout opportunity on a truly esoteric, decade-old traditional white Rioja.
93
Wine Advocate
(4/29/2015) "The classically proportioned 2010 Terca is sourced from two clay-rich old vineyards from the Elvillar village in the Rioja Alavesa subzone, mostly Viura with some 10% Malvasía Riojana (aka Alarije) produced with Sampedro's unusual modus operandi for these low-quantity whites: the grapes are hand-harvested into 400-liter containers and on arrival at the winery the whole bunches are foot trodden and they stay there macerating with the stems and skins for a week until fermentation starts. Then they are pressed, and finish fermenting in used 500-liter oak barrels where the wine ages for two years. It feels a little neutral with quite an imprint from the elevage, in the style of the white Riojas form yesteryear. It is evolving slowly with shy aromas of chamomile and aromatic herbs, hints of beeswax and honey, all of it in a subtle way. It has a solid palate showing good balance, which should secure it a nice evolution in bottle. Drink Date: 2015 - 2022."

Herencia Altes "La Serra Negre" Terra Alta Red Blend 2015

Wine Advocate
(10/28/2016) "The 2015 La Serra Negre is a blend of old-vine Carinena with 20% Garnacha from a single vineyard that names the wine. I see a lot less oak here, and the wines are showing better balance, more purity and letting the terroir shine through. This is a great Carinena with the floral and tree bark notes, both earthy and ethereal. The palate shows some grainy, chalky tannins that provide a very tasty, almost salty finish. 2,000 bottles produced."

(12/31/2016) "This wine is principally Cabernet Sauvignon (52%), Merlot (35%), along with dollops of Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Carmenere. The aromas show complexity, with notes of herb, pink peppercorn, dark fruit, coffee and wood spice. The flavors are supple and layered, with bright acidity and firm tannins providing the frame."
