Introducing My Wine Deals

We sell fine wines. This is what we do. Some of these wines come from places you have known since pulling your very first cork, while others come from what was once the hinterlands, either with or without help of the (printing) press. We have the advantage of being able to supply our inventory from the best sources imaginable, and even from a couple that are difficult to imagine.

We know what’s good, what’s popular, and where those two parameters coincide.

We know where to look, and we know what to find.

Responding to fashion and the signs of the times, but remaining faithful to the essential message of the varied growing regions in the wide world of wine.

But we do this while cutting through the hype just a bit; the best journalists are friends of ours—we know our way around the languages and the cultures of the major scenes.

Also, we are cutting a bit through the foolishness of the current regime—where the law will allow, that is—that treats our fifty US states like fifty different countries, so far as matters of wine and spirit are concerned. In doing so taking a bit of a bite out of the old three-tier system, which has the beneficial effect of taking a bite right out of the price you pay for the bottle you want to buy…

And where does my personal experience fit in to this? Well, as the song goes, I started out on Burgundy… Coupla decades ago, with my vile but fluent French I could scrounge around the Côte d’Or on my own, even knock on doors and be invited to taste—sometimes even get invited to lunch. And was able to drink things i could never buy. And once upon a time i could tell you which growers on the Côte de Nuits had a lovely daughter and who owned a vicious dog… Those days are gone; Burgundy remains the same size, more or less, while the demand for Burgundy increases on a yearly basis, now including the affluent of Asia. Burgundy remains a serious theme for serious collectors, so we shall certainly pay particular attention to it, even getting our hands on some older stuff from time to time…

And i always wanted to make a sign for Alain Burguet’s cellar in Gevrey-Chambertin: ici termine les dégustations; ici on commence à boire!
