They don't ship to Massachusetts, but the deal on Wines 'Til Sold Out today is a pretty good one. They're offering the 2006 Keller Estate La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Noir at $19.49.
I visited Keller Estate in Petaluma, CA this spring. Nice place. ' [...]
Maybe it was because the first time we ate there we'd just closed on our house in Wellesley, but I've always thought of Blue Ginger as being a very expensive restaurant. So the other day when we skated out of there for$38 (tip included!) after a [...] 
Sometimes the better stories take a little longer to write.
For the past couple years I've been working with a customer out in San Diego. Prior to my first trip out there, I recalled a vacation we took in the area a few years back and the great wine prices on wine we found at a' [...] 
Okay, this is too coincidental to be true. As I've mentioned previously, we've been on the look-out for a Barbaresco case club deal. The tough thing with Barbaresco: It's not an affordable category. On one hand it's a tough wine to dabble in, on the other [...] 
Saturday, December 12th from 3-5PM at Ball Square Fine Wines, they'll be hosting a sparkling wine tasting event. Learn more about what Grower Champagne is, taste it and discover why it might be a better choice than the big brands that dominate the Champagne market.' [...] 
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon might just be the definitive aspirational Napa Cab. Readily available yet highly sought after, familiar yet prestigious, and ever-present in steakhouse cellar windows. Consistent as all get-out. Since 1998, Wine Spectator has rated every vintage between 91-93 points (all outstanding).
I missed it. I'm sorry I did, but I missed it. On Thursday, November 19th, Lower Falls Wine Co. in Newton, MA had a free Gaja tasting where they poured their full line-up which ranges from $40-$300 retail.
Black Friday isn't just about electronics, toys, and appliances. It's for winos too! Here's a few Black Friday wine sales that crossed my desk and caught my attention this week:
Here's an interesting one. If you're like me, and base at least some of your wine purchasing decisions on ratings from publications like Wine Spectator, you'll find that it's often tough to find inexpensive, highly-rated wines. Unless they're high-production, they disappear from the market quickly and' [...] 
A few months ago, as I was hearing tales of doom and gloom in the wine industry I was thinking "I haven't seen that many great wine deals around." That has changed dramatically in this last couple of months, and here's a shining example of an [...] 
What's this? A wine-related event in Wellesley? I'm all over it!
This coming Wednesday, November 18th 2009, Wine Spectator will begin unveiling their Top 100 Wines of 2009. This list isn't strictly the best 100 wines presented in rank order according to rating. Rather, it's intended to be the most exciting wines of the year. I think [...] 
Here's a nice (and free!) event coming up this Saturday night for your consideration. I attended The Wine House's first anniversary last year- it's hard to believe they're now twice as old a store as they were when I first got to know them. I'd' [...] 
Interesting Question: Is Châteauneuf-du-Pape one of the top 5 categories to pay attention to in wine? It's a tough call- I'm not sure honestly. It's the right on the edge. It's not cheap by any means, but you can find outstanding bottles for around $30. The [...] 
90+ Cellars is partnering with the Greater Boston Food Bank to help fight hunger this holiday season.
One of the more popular items at charity auctions I've attended lately is the chef's table. It sounds great, doesn't it? A delicious dinner for you and 7 of your closest friends at one of your favorite restaurants. There's something about the notion that seems to [...] 
This is a guest post from Todd Broderick, a fellow Boston-area wine enthusiast. I've received multiple E-mails looking for thoughts on how to easily and effectively preserve wine overnight and I think this approach is quite helpful.
This event from featuring the movie Sideways at Gordons has been canceled. I'll leave my related commentary posted here- sorry for pointing you to a non-existent event.
Just back from a soft opening of a new wine shop: Wine ConneXtion in North Andover, MA. I'll cut right to the chase and say that the pricing is the lowest I've seen in the state, with a product mix that compelled me to buy nearly [...] 
One of the top values in Wine Spectator's 2007 California Pinot Noir report was the 2007 Paraiso Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir. Of the 384 wines they tasted, only 8 earned 90 points or more and carried a release price of $30 or less. The Paraiso' [...] 
As self-appointed chairman of the (non-existent as far as I know) Boston Cakebread fan club, it's my pleasure to pass along a heads-up about a paired wine dinner at Morton's Back Bay Boston coming up this Wednesday November 4th, 2009.

Who says this site only focuses on Boston events? Here's one for our friends within striking distance of New York City. Wine importer Kermit Lynch (love his 2005 Chateau Aney by the way- delicious stuff if you ever see it around) has released a CD and' [...] 
Bin Ends Wine in Braintree, MA (the area's premier off-price wine retailer) is holding their now-monthly fine wine flea market this Sunday October 25th, 2009 from 1-5PM. This time, they've selected a charity to benefit from the festivities- Hugs for Healing.

Blanchards Wine & Spirits in West Roxbury, MA is hosting their semi-annual Grand Wine Experience tonight, Wednesday October 21st, 2009 from 6PM- 9PM. This is a free tasting of more than 100 wines, each on sale at a 20% discount. Click HERE for more [...] 
The image above is a picture of what this site looked like when it was born. A year ago today, I launched this site with an announcement on our family blog:
Gary Vaynerchuk from Wine Library TV will be signing books at the Boston University Bookstore on Friday October 16th, 2009 from 1:00-3:00 PM. For more details click HERE.
What are you doing Thursday night? Here's another one of those events that brings together a number of things that I really like. I gushed on and on about a couple of wines from Hall Winery earlier this year, in particular the 2006 Kathryn Hall' [...] 
Two events at Morton's Boston locations coming up for your consideration:
There was a really interesting post on Dr. Vino's wine blog last week about blind tasting 2005 Bordeaux with Robert Parker. The piece is generating quite a buzz (coming up on 100 comments) because Parker normally does his tasting privately and therefore nobody really [...] 
When Wine Spectator recently released their round-up of 2007 California Pinot Noirs, they called it the best vintage of California Pinot Noir ever. I noticed an interesting bottle on the cover I didn't recognize- the 2007 Red Car Heaven & Earth Pinot Noir. At 97WS/$60' [...] 
Wine Riot II is coming to Boston this weekend, September 25th & 26th, 2009. This time, the venue shifts to the John J. Moakley Courthouse on the waterfront. Here's a list of the wines that will be poured. Looking through the list, I see' [...] 
Remember the 1999 Major League Baseball All-Start Game at Fenway Park? It was the year Mark McGwire crushed pitch after pitch over the Green Monster in the Home Run Derby. I recently opened a wine that so competently delivered on what I'm looking for in an' [...]
