The new vintage of Willowlake Pinot Noir has been enjoying some success as of late, and it's performance this weekend will certainly send things into overdrive.

This is now the FOURTH time this wine has won the Belle Glos Blind Tasting 👀 - and nobody else is even close in that regard.

So to celebrate we're offering special pricing not only on the winner, but all of the top 3 wines. It's kinda like the Olympics over here, right?

What makes this wine so amazing?

Wine wizards Baron Ziegler (he knows what he is doing) and Rob Fischer have been crafting this Pinot Noir since 2014 (when Vivino labeled it in the top 5% of all wines in the world) and it has become harder and harder to get each and every year.

Case in point - in 2023 it was out of stock from April through September and last year we were unable to buy any from May until October!!

Heck, Vivino even says the 2019 vintage is one of the top 9% of all wines in the world. Nice!

Since its launch it has been our #1 selling Pinot Noir in terms of gross dollar volume and it is now a FOUR time "Belle Glos Blind Tasting" winner (also it has never come in worse than second).

So just to recap:
1) 100% Bennett Valley Pinot for $19.99 (that never happens)
2) One of top wines in the world according to Vivino
3) 4 time Belle Glos Blind Tasting winner - and newly crowned 2025 Champion

I highly recommend pairing with watching White Lotus - anyone else watching this show?!?! Parker Posey is unreal!

Let's do this!

Happy Tuesday all!

Blind Taste 2023 Belle Glos "Clark & Telephone"
Saturday March 22nd, 2025
9am - 8pm
All Day Long!

For the first time since March of 2023, the Belle Glos Clark & Telephone blind tasting has returned due to overwhelming demand (who doesn't love blind tastings?!?!?)

Like we have said many times before, if you don't know the price, can't see the label, and can't hear someone barking in your ear about the wine's "score," then all that is left is the juice and your taste buds. It's a scary proposition for any winemaker. That's why you have marketing departments that design catchy labels, create campaigns to build a wine's image, and spend all of their time and energy essentially trying to convince consumers that a wine is great. The problem is that you can't out "market" a blind tasting.

Which is why we're playing "Find the Belle Glos" this Saturday. It's simple really. Eight wines will be tasted blind on the tasting machine. One of them will be 2023 Belle Glos "Clark & Telephone" Pinot Noir and the others will be an assortment of Pinot etc. at every price point from a number of different regions. All you have to do is taste and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's the Belle Glos, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are.

Get ready to taste some amazing Pinot Noir! We will announce the winners next Tuesday!

Reminder we open at 9am Thursday - Saturday!

*Curbside Pickup Always Available*

Should we kick of the start to March Madness with a little "Madness" of our own?

I think so...

The biggest sale we run every spring is Benières for $9.99, and the day has finally arrived.

Benières Pinot Noir, which you all have gobbled up to the tune of more than 238,000 bottles (that is a lot of wine) in the last 48 months, is a staple in my house and now - more than ever - the type of value it is delivering is a very welcome thing for me.

We told you back in December that for the 5th year in a row Benières Pinot Noir and Chardonnay didn't win the voting here for our Wine of the Year, but maybe they should have. That we were not sure there is any brand we carry more on fire than Benieres - and that there is no brand bringing more thunder when it comes to the quality / price ratio than these wines right now.

As always, thank you for your support. We work hard every single day to bring you the best possible customer service, the greatest quality wines, and the guaranteed lowest prices...and it is because of you that we are able to make that happen.

You guys know the drill!

🟣 The Best Bordeaux You Will EVER Try for $24.99?

2022 Chateau Carteau Saint-Emilion
Release Price: $50.00
SALE Price: $24.99 (net)
SAVE 50%

Order Online: https://buff.ly/Z8JN1TS

SALE runs Friday March 7th - Sunday March 9th, 2025

Lowest Online Price in the US!

First off, TGIF...am I right?

Second, I can tell you without one ounce of hesitation in my body that this will be the greatest bottle of Bordeaux you are ever going to try for $25.00...and it is one that can even last 40 years.

People tell you all the time that only the most expensive wines can go that distance...and those people are wrong.

I will challenge anyone reading this to find better quality Bordeaux for less than $75 per bottle. I’d even put this wine up against Bordeaux I’ve tasted in the $150-$250 per bottle range. No joke.

Saint-Émilion is the oldest area of Bordeaux and its Roman ruins are a frequent reminder. Still, when the region was getting codified, Saint-Émilion was left out – it was sleepy and nearly forgotten. That changed in the 1990s when the garagiste movement of tiny Saint-Émilion wineries started making stunning, trend-setting wines. So the “Old” Jacques Bertrand Estate of Chateau Carteau is both Old School and modern all at the same time.

Chateau Carteau is a very typical Saint-Émilion blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon and it sees a bit more new oak than is typical at this price point. Half new and half one-year-old barrels generate more spice and weight in the mouth and, in a vintage like 2022, that is just right.

Also, just to celebrate all things awesome like wines like this, we'll have it on the tasting machine at all 9 stores through Sunday for only $0.01. Because we love you, and that's how we roll.

So let's get to it on this awesome Friday. One thing I know for certain today, is I am opening a bottle of this tonight 🤣...

TGIF! Three days only!!

SALE runs Wednesday February 19th - Sunday February 23rd, 2025

Reminder we open at 9am Thursday - Saturday!

Maybe the breakout value star for us in the last five years also happens to be maybe the best $7.99 bottle of Pinot Noir you are ever gonna try.

We've only sent 3 e-mails about it in the last 5 years and you all clearly like what you tasted the first time you bought it. You came back for more and more to the tune of over 64,000 bottles (that's a lot of love!).

After a brief hiatus due to the winery being unable to keep up with demand (first world problems), I am happy to report - Chazeaux is back and ready to rock!

Prepare to buy your favorite inexpensive Pinot Noir with abandon.

Beuchottes hails from the Languedoc-Roussillon, a region of France where Pinot Noir can prosper, but only in the cooler spots. As you have probably guessed, the components for this little gem come from some of the coolest areas in the region. That said, the main goal here was to marry a traditional and elegant French style of winemaking while highlighting some of the vibrant complexity you find in larger reds from the Languedoc - and Beuchottes accomplishes that in spades.

Things I love include Pinot Noir, and great wines priced nearly half the price of a twice baked potato the grocery charged me for the other day. (Seriously, what is going on out there with grocery prices??)

This is in my wheelhouse!!

Happy Wednesday all!

🔴 Taste Prisoner BLIND vs $20 Rivals...
Saturday February 15th, 2025
9am - 8pm
All Day Long!!

Ask, and you shall receive...

After the success of our 16th Annual Silver Oak Blind Tasting, you guys have been clamoring for another blind tasting. Well, we are in the business of giving the people what they want...
..so for just the 2nd time EVER, it is time for The Prisoner Blind Tasting!

"The Prisoner" Red Blend appears to be universally loved. It actually helped spawn an entire movement of "BIG" red wine blends (and kinda gave Zinfandel a re-birth of popularity if you will), and still sits atop its perch as King of the Gigantic Red Wine Kingdom :)

Which is why we're playing "Find The Prisoner" this Saturday. It's simple really. The wines will all be tasted blind on our tasting machines. One of them will be The Prisoner and the others will be an assortment of wines at every price point, from a number of different regions. All you have to do is load up your card with $8.00, taste all eight wines (you don't have to taste all 8 if you don't want to, but it's more fun if you do!), and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's The Prisoner, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are.

These events are always fun, and honestly with the results that have come out of the last two blind tastings we have hosted, I CANNOT wait to see what happens!!

See you all Saturday!

🍷 Lowest US Price Ever Offered on this Pinot Noir! 🤯

2022 Patricia Green Chehalem Mountain

Reminder we open at 9am Thursday - Saturday

Anyone interested in an absolutely insane deal to start the weekend, end dry January, and also exit maybe the longest and coldest month of the year?

Yes? I thought so...

To just start things off - I have never seen a Patricia Green Single Vineyard Pinot Noir bottling at this price. Not ever.

Heck, Total Wine is selling the basic estate Pinot Noir bottling from Patricia Green for $37.99 - a nearly 52% increase over this single vineyard bottling we have here.

Patricia Green was a legend in Oregon. Maybe not that many people knew about her outside Oregon, but within the community of Pinot Noir winemakers, Patty was someone you listened to because she knew so much. While she did some great stuff putting Torii Mor on the map, when she opened her own place in 2000, she was free to make even more amazing wines. Okay, there’s a lot of wonderful Pinot in Oregon, but Patty Green rises far above the field.

Patty Green left us too soon in 2017, but her legacy as one of the most gifted winemakers in the world of Oregon Pinot Noir lives on through her business partner Jim Anderson.

I’ve never had a bad Pinot from Patricia Green, but their Chehalem Vineyard bottling is something special entirely. You can read more about the vineyard here, but let’s just say these people know what they are doing, and they do it better than almost anyone else in Oregon.

Extremely limited supply at this price - but let's get while the gettin' is good!

I know what I'm drinking tonight!

So once a year we go to the world's largest wine trade show to try and find new wines to bring into the United States, and every year there is one wine that is just an absolute show stopper.

Last year, we took a photo of the wine above floored us on quality (and we were kinda scared to ask the price)...

I wrote down "Absolute grand slam if below $25...maybe best wine we have tasted" in my notes on the picture.

Once we found out we could bring it to you for less than $15 per bottle? We bought everything they had left - 60% of the entire production of the wine 👀.

To celebrate its launch in the US, we're putting it on sale this weekend for $12.99 per bottle - which is basically the same price you would pay for this wine locally in France! Let's gooooooooo!

We'll also have it on the tasting machine all weekend for just $0.01 to try - just to see if it rocks your world as much as it did ours.

I know what I'm drinking tonight!

Anytime a wine we love scores 95 points in the Decanter World Wine Awards and has a tasting note like the one below, we get extremely excited...

"Interesting herbal nose, with black olive and thyme and chewy, rich to***co and spicy flavours. It's a richly fruited, fresh, precise, broad and harmonious wine with plenty of generosity, bright, snappy acidity and robust, cleansing tannins and a very long finish. Exceptional value. Very classy! Ticks in all boxes."

- Exceptional value?
- Very Classy?!
- Ticks all the boxes?!?

AND we can run it on sale for the lowest price in the US at $9.99 per bottle?!?!

I mean it kinda makes me chuckle as I was reading the latest issue of Wine Spectator just yesterday and they were discussing the best value wines in the world...and all the "value" wines were like $30 and $40 per bottle.

Ummmmm....no.

Value is surely relative, but value is $9.99 - not $39.99.

What makes this wine in particular such a great value?

We might presume that most of the top Old World sites are multi-generational legacies, remaining in the hands of ossified aristocrats served by dedicated minions. I suppose that’s true in some places. But most of the exciting things happen in Europe are the result of new blood; new folks like Joséphine and Frédéric Arnaud who took over this property in 1995. Northwest of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Arnauds have more than 200 acres of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, the latter a grape that has only, in the last two or three decades, become more typical of Côtes du Rhone blends.

Again, it helps to add some new blood to these old places...especially ones that want to specialize in high quality wines that everyone can enjoy!

We will have the wine on the tasting machine all week for only $0.01 per taste - just so you can see what all the fuss is about!

You'll Need Some Wine...

Listen up folks.

The snow to wine index has been deployed for the first time in a long time, and it appears everyone needs to get moving.

Most of our stores are clearly in a 3 bottle zone. All of Charlotte, Asheville, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Raleigh. Man oh man 😂

Dunwoody is squarely in a two bottle situation, but why stop there...

Wilmington appears to be in a one bottle scenario, but honestly at this point who can say for sure.

All this said - we know one thing for sure. We will be drinking wine this evening 😂

What better way to celebrate all this than by grabbing a bottle of the winner of the Silver Oak Blind Tasting from last weekend - still on sale for $9.99 through Sunday.

Remember to stay safe...and please keep up to date on the snow / wine index as it can change at any moment. We could be in a six bottle situation by 4pm!

Our blind tastings always seem to produce some upsets, but honestly this one may take the cake.

Highland Falls, one of our best selling wines of all time, won the Caymus Blind Tasting last fall.

A surprise? Sure. But the wine is a known entity. It sells like hotcakes. I could see it winning in the right conditions.

The Silver Oak Blind Tasting?

In this particular case we have a wine that was the last wine we added to the lineup, a virtual unknown, and a wine we have featured in our newsletter just ONE TIME in our 19 year history, that took home the crown.

I'm sorry, what?

I was so worried that nobody would believe us, that we just decided to include the voting results. You can view them here.

581 of you came out last Saturday to test your blind tasting chops across 8 wines - and 25% of you voted Seigneur de Feu in first place. Besting Silver Oak by 14 votes.

These two wines, a $10 wine and an $80 wine, took home 47% of ALL the first place votes.

Just wild...

What is even more insane, is that in the one e-mail we have sent about this wine (and I just read this and it kinda gave me chills), I told you - as kindof a joke - that Seigneur du Feu was basically like Silver Oak but only for $10 because of the use of American Oak in the wine. 👀

Here is what we told you:

"Throughout the last two centuries of winedom, French wine has been aged in French oak. Or has it? In the 19th century, French forests, planted for warships, were plentiful enough for barrels too. In the early 20th century, barrels made from Eastern European oak became more common, especially after WWI decimated French forests. But they were replanted with purpose; the barrel industry returned and has dominated the idea of top flight wine ever since. Yet, American oak is crucial to many other wine regions: Spain, Australia, the U.S., maybe even Silver Oak (they love that vanilla smell). So this is a southern French Cab with American oak’s lashing of coconut and sawdust – the classic aromas of American oak barrels.

Maybe think Silver Oak from France, but only costs $9.99? There may be some hyperbole in there, but you get the idea! 😂"

Have we just uncovered the next big thing?

I have no idea.

But this is so damn exciting I barely know what to say.

I know what I'm drinking tonight!

Let's do this!

🍷 Blind Taste Silver Oak vs. $25 Rivals! 👀

Saturday January 4th, 2025
9am - 8pm
All Day Long!!

Also WIN a 3 LITER of 2019 Silver Oak!

#1 Comment from the end of the year feedback / message box was "more blind tastings!"...so we're just gonna start the year off right, and give the people what they want!

This Saturday we're hosting the OG, the original, the groundbreaker blind tasting - our Silver Oak Blind Tasting.

It's the tasting that brought you winners like Rockus Bockus ($12.99), Gun Bun Mountain Cuvee ($14.99), Ca' Momi ($7.99) , BR Cohn Silver Label ($18.99), Treana Red Blend ($24.99) Snowvale ($12.99) and more. It's the tasting that brings the stars of the wine world to their knees.

It almost seems unfair, I mean a Maserati is supposed to go faster than a Yugo, and a $60 wine is supposed to taste better than a $12 one. Right? Well, maybe not. A wine's success isn't measured in MpH, it's measured in the taste that is transferred from the glass to your mouth. If you don't know the price, can't see the label, and can't hear someone barking in your ear about the wine's "score," then all that is left is the juice and your taste buds. It's a scary proposition for any winemaker. That's why you have marketing departments that design catchy labels, create campaigns to build a wine's image, and spend all of their time and energy essentially trying to convince consumers that a wine is great. The problem is that you can't out "market" a blind tasting.

Which is why we're playing "Find the Silver Oak" this Saturday. It's simple really. The wines will all be tasted blind on our tasting machines. One of them will be 2019 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet and the others will be an assortment of wines at every price point, from a number of different regions. All you have to do is load up your card with $8.00, taste all eight wines (you don't have to taste all 8 if you don't want to, but it's more fun if you do!), and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's the Silver Oak, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are.

We hope to see you Saturday!

Complete The Tasting, Vote for your Favorite, and you will be entered to win a 3 LITER Of 2019 Silver Oak Alexander Valley! #1 Comment from the end of the year feedback / message box was "more blind tastings!"...

SALE Price good TODAY ONLY - SALE ends TONIGHT at MIDNIGHT!

Even though our stores are closed today, each New Year's Day we do a one day sale on our website to ring in the new year - and the catch is the wine has to be offered at our lowest price EVER. That's right...one time only, to kick of the new year right, lowest price we will ever offer.

It's kinda how we roll.

So to say goodbye to 2024 and welcome in hopefully a wonderful 2025, we are offering one of our favorites for an absolutely silly price of $19.99 (I'm getting fired up just writing this!)

We tasted this wine for the first time last year and absolutely loved it, and our love seemed to be matched by you guys as the first week it landed, I watched two customers buy straight cases of it after just tasting it on the machine.

Flying overseas to find wines like this has really transformed some of our offerings as of late. We’ve opined many times recently that the quality level of our $25-$75 collectible offerings has never been higher, and the value we currently have in store between $20 and $60 I would put up against anyone in the US right now. We used to be at the mercy of our distributors and importers, all of which offer a relatively limited selection of wines compared to what is available globally. Being able to find something like Pontey Lamartine Pessac, and be able to offer it for $19.99 per bottle, just gets me really excited.

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve!

Here's to an amazing 2025!

Let's do this!

12/31/2024

It has become a tradition here that we take a moment at the end of each year just to say THANK YOU.

As we approach our 19th Birthday (is this real life?!?), we want to just reiterate how truly appreciative we are of you spending your hard earned dollars with us over the last 12 months and we hope to continue to earn your business as we enter 2025.

We are humbled by the opportunity to serve each and every one of you, and we don't take it for granted.

Inflation and rising prices continued to be buzzwords in 2024, and we are proud to tell you less than 0.5% of all our products saw price increases this year. Our commitment to everyday low prices means we work tirelessly with our suppliers to keep prices down...and we are going all in on our efforts in 2025. Our goal is price decreases!

Know this...here at winestore. you will always be getting the absolute highest quality product at the lowest prices in North Carolina and Georgia, each and every time. We will treat your money as if it was our own, and give you 5 star service each and every time.

All that said, we are always striving to get better, so if you have any suggestions on how we can improve please write to us (e-mail is in original post), and let us know the one or two things you think we really need to add to our service offerings, to change, to overhaul - anything at all (heck, even if you just have some positive feedback). Many suggestions from the year end suggestion box have been implemented over the last several years. Everything from name tags, updated hours, and process changes....the customer knows best, and we are listening.

We hope to see you today (we are open until 6pm!) as you stock up for your New Year's Eve! If you're like us, you need some wine before heading to bed at 9pm :)

Also, for what it's worth, if you've been saving a nice bottle for a special occasion - we encourage you to open it up tonight. It doesn't have to be bubbles. Life is short, and our time here is limited. Things can change in an instant. No better time than now to celebrate all we have to be thankful for!

Thank you again, Happy New Year, and blessings to you and your family for a wonderful 2025!

Reminder we open at 9am Today!

Could we set a sales record today?

Did we save the best for last?

Well...we wanted our final deal of the 2024 Holiday Season to be special, and Cape Charles Cabernet for $19.99 seemed like a great chef's kiss to what has been a fun season of wine, friends, family, and general merriment.

Quick note - this wine has never sold for this price before. Ever.

Since 2021, Cape Charles Cabernet has busted every single sales record we ever had at our stores. Every month, month after month, this wine sits at the top of the heap - and for good reason! This is one of the best sub $25 wines you will find - no matter the region, grape variety, etc. It's one of the best.

At $19.99? We're entered the realm of absurd value.

It's also worth noting this wine was our Wine of the Year in 2022 AND 2023.

A label developed with Baron Ziegler (he's kind of a big deal, you can read more about him here) to take advantage of the high end left over juice, the results have been unreal. The label itself was lent to the project by artist Peter Curling - he's also kind of a big deal and you can read more about him here.

We started with Kamen Moon Mountain juice which sold out in just a few weeks. We then doubled down with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Leonetti in Washington State. After the Leonetti success we told Baron the next one had to be huge…and he delivered.

This 100% Cassata Vineyard Cabernet is the best wine he's released yet, and I'm not sure it is even close.

We've reached the point in the Holiday Season where the next 4 deals are going to be some of the best we have ever offered...and we'll start with Grand Cru Saint-Emilion for $19.99.

One of the wines that really got me into drinking and collecting wine was Chateau Pavie. It's a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from this region of Bordeaux...and it's like really, really awesome (that is a professional wine recommendation).

Sadly, it now costs over $350 a bottle (inflation much? 😳), and that's not really in my wheelhouse.

So when we tried the Vieux Lescours for the first time back in 2023, I got that same Chateau Pavie feeling.

We're talking similar grape blend, a vineyard originally planted in 1850, 12 months in 75% new French Oak, and all the acidity a wine like this needs to be an age worthy rock star.

That $350 Chateau Pavie feeling for $19.99 is what I look for in wines I drink.

It also doesn't hurt that this is 54% lower than the already lowest online price for this wine in the US.

You guys know that is how we roll!

Price is good till Sunday or honestly until we run out (a Corporate Customer purchased 436 bottles of this earlier this week so that took a chunk out of our inventory!)

We are not slowing down. Today is one we have been waiting to release for almost 6 weeks.

In a deal we were able to cut back in November, the powers that be are giving us enough support to go out with Snowvale Sierra Foothills at $14.99 per bottle. This is the first and will be the only time this wine will see this price.

I think a cursory search around google for wines from this AVA will let you know that this deal is pretty silly.

A century and a half ago, the Sierra Foothills was the scene of a whole lot of winemaking. Why? Because there were many, many thirsty men there, all assembled around a pan and a creek or a little seam of possible gold. Sad to say, we don’t know what those wines were like. But we do know that there are still many century old vines in them thar hills.

This particular sample came from the iconic Shake Ridge Ranch (you can read more about it here) and from a winery I was not familiar with (whose name I cannot disclose but it starts with a K 😁). We tasted some great wines the day we tasted with this group, but this red blend stole the show. We were not told what was in the wine and this winery makes so many different bottlings it is hard to try and figure it out - but based on the fact it is from Shake Ridge I am guessing it is from the Rhone components that make up their only Shake Ridge Bottlings (both $80).

More importantly though, it really didn’t matter to us the grape varietal composition - the wine was so good we were buying it no matter what.

Baron Ziegler, who brings us all these treats, continues to impress. In the current California red wine market, to be able to bring you single vineyard offerings of this quality for $14.99 continues to boggle my mind. But these guys just keep bringing the goods, and the bulk wine market right now is an embarassment of riches...if you know where to look.

So....6 days only. $14.99.

Let's do this!
