For those who bought the 2007 vintage I can tell you that you will be happily surprised by this latest release. Unfortunately this year’s production is much smaller (only 200 cases produced), but it is just as good. We recently lined up 10 big Napa Valley (expensive and highly rated) Cabernets and the result was [...]
In a blind tasting of big name Cabernet Francs, the little Trespass winery (yes only 150 cases produced of this vintage) blew away a lot more expensive and highly rated wines, including: Hourglass ($150.00), Cadence, Andrew Will ($75.00), Derencourt ($140.00), Realm ($90.00), Pride ($75.00), Cayuse ($85.00), Del Dotto ($90.00), Crocker Starr ($70.00), Reverie ($60.00) and [...]
Paul Lato has become synonymous with some of the best “Burgundies” made in California. All of his releases have received rave reviews from Parker, Tanzer, and many others – especially our Golden Gate Wine Cellars followers. The average score for any Paul Lato wine is 94.5 Points, not shabby for my Polish (via Canada) sommelier [...]
Dear Friends of Golden Gate Wine Cellars, I just want to give you a sincere thank you for all your support over the past year. My family and I value that tremendously. Just the other day, I arrived home from work and ask my youngest daughter how her day was. She replies: “Fine Daddy, but [...]
I just got my hands on an extremely limited allocation that you definitely want to know about! Walter Hansel is synonymous with good quality wine at a respectable price. This latest bottling is inexpensive for its great quality! We tasted 10 Pinots, and Hansel Rodgers Creek came in # 1. The lineup consisted of Beaux [...]
This is already the 15th release of DuMol! I fondly recall the first vintage (1996), it feels like just yesterday. As always the Fall releases are the “gem” of the portfolio – and very limited!! Those who bought the Spring releases will get priority on these bottlings. Of course FREE SHIPPING* on six or more [...]
Jonathan Maltus created his second pool of new wines from some amazing vineyards in the Napa Valley. The entire production of his previous World’s End offerings entirely sold out within a matter of months! (I have a small handful reserved if you are quick to give me a call) That is a strong testament to [...]
Top Secret: We are taking pre-orders for the Paloma 2009 Merlot! Due to the very small production, I am only receiving 30 cases of this vintage (my smallest allocation ever), so hurry on this one! Arguably this is one of the best wines my friends at Paloma have produced. This rivals their 2001 vintage (Wine of [...]
I am proud to introduce the new release of 2008 Coho SummitVine Ranch. We were excited to feature it at our Sixth Anniversary Tasting on August 20 and it was an immediate success. I would say that they were winner of the night! Our group went wild over this wine. I would be surprised not [...]
Celia does not need an introduction and for those who bought the 2006 Bad Boy Red, this one will blow 2006 away! The Rocca’s purchased their vineyards in 1999 and hired Celia to “put them on the map.” I can say she has done just that. All wines coming from the Rocca property are first [...]
