Loaded with amazing flavor combinations, you don’t want to miss the return of this special Inexpensive Gourmet Insider Deal with an unprecedented discount and a 4.9 out of 5 Star Rating from previous buyers!

From the trailblazing chocolatier Fritz Knipschildt, who spearheaded the movement of flavor experimentation with chocolate over 25 years ago, today we have an incredible deal on Chocopologie Bars – the best chocolate bars we’ve ever tasted.

We adore chocolate — possibly even more than we love wine!

We’ve had the opportunity to try all kinds of chocolate from all over the world in our wine travels and this is some of the best we’ve ever had – period. And that’s before you even consider all the wonderful flavors. (And don’t just take our word for it, you can check out its stellar 4.9 out of 5 Star Rating from previous buyers here!)

They come from the award-winning Danish chocolatier Fritz Knipschildt who brought the old world European chocolate traditions to America back in 1999 and then amped up the flavors. He’s been seen on Oprah, Martha Stewart, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and more.

He also holds the Guinness World Record for the most expensive chocolate truffle ever made. And while the normal price of these bars isn’t cheap at $10 each, today we’ve got them for much, much less plus FREE SHIPPING (which alone saves you $25 off the normal shipping cost).

Each 3.75 oz bar has 12 big pieces of chocolate so they last for a long time. With so much richness and flavor in each bite, a little bit goes a deliciously long way.

Here’s what each bar looks like (this is the amazing Burnt Caramel Hawaiian Sea Salt) but keep on reading for more details and photos of each below.

Here is what’s included in the Chocolate Nirvana 8-Pack from Chocopologie:

• 1 Chocopologie Flat White Espresso Bar – this dark and milky white chocolate infused with organic espresso beans might just be our favorite of the bunch!
• 1 Chocopologie Burnt Caramel Hawaiian Sea Salt Bar – Dark chocolate with chewy burnt dark salted caramel. And yes, it is seriously as good as it sounds.
• 1 Chocopologie Crunchy Peppermint Bar – we love peppermint and this milk chocolate infused with peppermint and mixed with candy cane pieces is simply to die for!
• 1 Chocopologie Toffee Sea Salt Pretzel Bar – dark chocolate with toffee, sea salt and pretzel bits. Amazing!
• 1 Chocopologie Acai & Puffed Quinoa Bar – Organic acai powder and organic puffed quinoa infused into dark chocolate. I’m pretty sure this is what Nestle Crunch bars will taste like in heaven.
• 1 Chocopologie Dubai Chocolate Bar – this flavor is hot and this excellent example has milk chocolate filled with house made pistachio cream, crispy kataifi, and a hint of Tahini.
• 1 Chocopologie Fig and Honey Bar – Diced Black Mission Figs and Clover Honey infused into dark chocolate. So good!
• 1 Chocopologie Dried Cranberry Pumpkin Seed & Nut Trail Bar – A medley of organic cranberries, pumpkin seeds, pecans and almonds infused into dark chocolate. It’s delicious and perfect for the season!

Made with organic and Fair Trade chocolate and no palm oils or refined sugars, all of the bars above are gluten free except the Toffee Sea Salt Pretzel and Dubai bars. More details and photos of each are below.

And like we said above, today we’ve got these rarely discounted bars that normally retail for $10 a piece at a substantial savings, including FREE SHIPPING which alone saves you $25 off the normal cost…

For the next few days you can get the Chocopologie Chocolate Nirvana 8-Pack (containing 1 of each of the 8 bars described above) for just $49.95 ($6.24 each). That’s a discount of 38% saving you $30 off the normal price plus FREE SHIPPING!

A rosé blend of 39% Grenache, 26% Cinsault, 18% Syrah and 17% Vermentino from Cotes de Provence, France. It has less than 1 g/L of residual sugar.

The wine is available exclusively at Costco and the 2025 is priced at $8.99, $1 more than last year. It is imported by Misa Imports.

From the bottle:

Kirkland Signature Rosé is produced in the Cotes de Provence Appellation by Olivier Sumeire, an 8th generation grape grower and vintner, whose family has been passionate about winemaking in Provence since the 13th Century.

“A fresh and vibrant rosé offering an elegant nose of strawberries, cranberries and a subtle hint of hibiscus. The palate is well-rounded and fruit-forward, revealing ripe peach and tangy pink grapefruit on the finish.” Olivier Sumeire – Winemaker

Bottled by Chateaux Elie Sumiere
12.5% Alcohol

The 2025 Kirkland Signature Cotes de Provence Rosé is a perennial favorite from Costco. It begins with a very pleasing aroma of strawberry, cherry and a little watermelon plus some salty minerality and pleasing touches of wild herbs and flowers.

The light-bodied wine tastes dry and delicious. Fresh and tart strawberry, melon, peach and citrus flavors evolve in the mouth and are all tinged with more salty minerality. Add in a pleasing, smooth and round mouthfeel and this is not only super easy to drink but will also stand up to lots of different foods.

It ends dry, very long and mouth-wateringly and lip-smackingly good. Tart and tangy strawberry, lime and more mineral notes linger nicely. Just delicious, we put this at the top end of our 8 Taste Rating at 90 points.

This is excellent stuff and it traditionally never lasts long once it makes its appearance at Costco, so if you’re a rosé lover be sure to grab some on your next visit. We found the 2025 to be just as good, if not even slightly better, than previous vintages. The fact that the price is only $8.99 is pretty amazing.

This is pretty much everything you want in a rosé. This is a slam dunk Bulk Buy!

For those unfamiliar, here’s a bit more about the winery:

Miner is a dynamic family-owned winery tucked along the eastern hills of the Oakville appellation in the heart of Napa Valley. Founded in 1998 by Dave and Emily Miner, Miner Family Winery crafts reserve-style wines by sourcing fruit from Napa Valley and other specially selected California vineyards.

Our winemaking team uses a combination of old world winemaking techniques and modern technology to make wines that reflect the unique characteristics of individual vineyards or “terroir” where specific varietals grow best. This fusion of superb vineyard sites and thoughtful winemaking allows Miner to deliver elegant, expressive wines.

We’ve offered many of their wines in the past, including in our All-Star intro packs. Let’s check out the details on these Rhone reds!

Up first, we have the 2021 Miner Napa Valley Syrah. You will receive two bottles in today’s 4-Pack.

From the winery:

2021 Miner Napa Valley Syrah

The fruit for this Syrah displays classic northern Rhône structure and flavors with ripe, dark fruit characteristics and just the right amount of smoky spice. Great with grilled meat and game.

BLEND: 100% Syrah
APPELLATION: Napa Valley
VINEYARD: Fortunati Vineyard
HARVEST: September 28th, 2021 Picked at 25.2 Brix
BARREL AGING: 15 Months Burgundian Cooperage 25% New French Oak
ANALYSIS: pH 3.35, TA .68
PRODUCTION: 308 cases
BOTTLED: February 23rd, 2023
RELEASE DATE: Spring 2024

14.1% Alcohol
Cork

And now on to our review:

The 2021 Miner Napa Valley Syrah opens with a quite an attractive, savory aroma of dark fruit with wonderful spice and herbal notes plus some minty, smoky notes.

It’s a great start although it does need some time to open up when tasting so be patient and you will be greatly reward. Tasting reveals all those same flavors as the nose wrapped up in a smooth and silky mouthfeel. Spicy with more dark juicy fruit, this is a very nice example of Syrah.

It ends dry, juicy, a bit grippy and very long with lots and lots of long-lasting spice. It was just as good on day 2. It’s drinking wonderful right now after a bit of air, but cellaring for a few years will also be rewarded. Excellent!

 
Next, we have the 2021 Miner Paso Robles Grenache. You will receive two bottles in today’s 4-Pack.

From the winery:

2021 Miner Paso Robles Grenache

Our Grenache has floral, spicy aromas on the nose and strawberry-raspberry flavors on the palate. Our winemaking team recommends enjoying this lighter-bodied red just below cellar temperature.

Grenache pairs well with a variety of dishes from paella to grilled pork tenderloin.

BLEND: 100% Grenache
APPELLATION: Paso Robles
VINEYARD: Terra Bella Vineyards
HARVEST: October 8th, 2021 Picked at 25.3 Brix
BARREL AGING: 6 Months Neutral French Oak
ANALYSIS: pH 3.44, TA .59
PRODUCTION: 187 cases
BOTTLED: May 13, 2022
RELEASE DATE: Winter 2025

14% Alcohol
Cork

And now on to our review:

The 2021 Miner Paso Robles Grenache opens with pleasing aromas of strawberry plus nice touches of cinnamon and other baking spice plus some mint, licorice and more. Intriguingly, it smells like it has more oak influence than it actually does. It’s a great start that definitely makes you want to take a sip.

When you do, you’ll find a smooth, medium-bodied Grenache that is very juicy with some zesty blood orange notes plus other flavors similar to the nose. The wine has great depth and is very food friendly. This is a really nice example of the variety.

It ends dry, juicy and extremely long and lingering on the tart, lip-smacking finish and was just as good on day 2. This is a fun one to drink! Meant for more immediate consumption than the Syrah, this one still has a year or two of peak drinking but I wouldn’t cellar it much longer than that.

Cheers,
Jon

Here’s what people are saying about our Insider Deals:

“I have tell you that I have been really, really pleased with this whole reverse wine snob endeavor. The info you provided gives me enough to purchase with confidence. The shipping is unbelievably convenient. The wines are right in that price-tag-sweet-spot. And everything has been just as described. Great job.”

“I’ve bought a ridiculous amount of wine from your deals in the last year…I just want to say that I really appreciate what you guys have done with RWS. I discovered your site looking up Costco wine reviews and have been hooked on your insider deals ever since. I’ve been referring every friend I know.”

“I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)”

“I have been buying your Insider Deals for about 3 years now and we have enjoyed every one of them. They are wines that we never would have found on our own… ”

“The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn’t purchase more.”

“Received my shipment today and just cracked open my first tasting. It blew me away…I guess I have another top pick to my list. Can’t wait for my next glass…”

“You can count on great value from the wines offered.”

“the wine is, in a single word, superb! as have been all other wines offered and purchased since I first learnt about you…”

“love them all so far…Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all.”

“Also your prices are pretty amazing.”

“Hey Jon! You do great work. I’ve bought a bunch of the Insider Deals and probably 80% of the wine I drink comes from them. Great values!”

“The shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)….yikes!”

“Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn’t I buy a case??!!”

“Would you happen to be offering this one again anytime soon? I regret not buying more. This was exceptional!”

“We’ve gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more.”

“I really missed the boat by only getting four bottles of this offer last month. Should have bought least at a case.”

“My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!)​ Thanks for what you do and providing this service!​”

“Jon – you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!”

“ I only drink Reverse Wine Snob wine, it actually doesn’t make sense to buy from a store. You don’t get anything interesting, unique, and full of value otherwise.”

“Jon, I should have bought more! Delicious!!”

“I am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!”

“Wish I had doubled my order!”

“By the way, you guys have a great company – smart concept, well executed. I may never have to make another trek to the wine store again. And your customer service is pretty darn good. Thank you. ”

“I am very much enjoying the wines I have been getting from you. I have discontinued all other wine services as the quality of the wines you select seem superior to what I was receiving elsewhere.”

100% Pinot Grigio from the Friuli DOC in Italy. The wine is aged 4 months in stainless steel.

We’ve got another unique one today, where a grape variety is produced in a style you wouldn’t expect, but the results are delicious!

In a previous Insider Deal, we featured a Vin Gris, which is a red grape variety produced like a white wine (the juice has little to no contact with the grape skins).

Today, we’ve got a white grape variety produced in the style of a red or rosé wine where the juice stays in contact with the grape skins, in this case for just a short time. Sometimes called an orange wine, the skin contact adds flavors and textures you don’t always find in a white wine. Let’s check it out.

Sample submitted for review. The Attems Ramato Friuli Pinot Grigio from Marchesi Frescobaldi has an SRP of $24 and is available for as low as $19. It is imported by Vintus LLC.

From the winery:

Bright, typical colour, with a mango-coloured rim. The 2024 Attems Ramato is delicately floral on the nose, with notes of broom and Alpine rose. When swirled in the glass, a distinctive aroma of green apple comes to the fore, carrying through into each sip. The body is light yet precise and complex, with a balanced acidity that flows nicely over the palate. The finish is characterised by the minerality associated with the area, with hints of currants.

12.5% Alcohol

The 2024 Attems Ramato Friuli Pinot Grigio opens with a richer aroma than most Pinot Grigio. Loaded with lemon and other citrus plus tropical fruit, cherry and even a bit of an almost garrigue-like note, it’s very nice.

The wine tastes really delightful and features a smooth, vibrant mouthfeel, good balance and great depth. The tart and juicy fruit tends more towards the tropical fruit notes in the mouth.

It ends with a smooth, dry, long, tart, tangy, lip-smacking finish. This is a really unique and delicious wine. Find it and try it.

Review Summary

Two Perfect 10 Taste Ratings in one deal!

Chardonnay lovers, today we have something very special for you – two very high end wines (that normally retail for $60 and $69 a bottle) from Sojourn Cellars. Both wines are spare no expense, single vineyard beauties from two of the best vineyards in the Sonoma Coast, and both have VERY high scores to back them up.

Here’s what’s included:

• Two bottles of the 2021 Sojourn Cellars Rueling Vineyard Chardonnay which received a 94-Point rating from International Wine Review and also a 10 Taste Rating (94+ points) from us. The wine is aged in French oak (50% new) and 75% undergoes malolactic fermentation. Rich, juicy smooth with lots of mineral notes, it’s just fantastic. It normally retails for $69 a bottle.
• Two bottles of the 2022 Sojourn Cellars Durell Vineyard Chardonnay which received a 95-Point rating from International Wine Review plus 93 points from both Wine Enthusiast and Owen Bargreen, and a 10 Taste Rating (94+ Points) from us. This one is also aged in French oak (40% new) and 85% undergoes malolactic fermentation. Harmonious and layered, it only takes one sniff to know this is something special. It normally retails for $60 a bottle.

Both of these benefit from the partial malolactic fermentation so they don’t veer into buttery territory but still profit from wonderful, smooth and round mouthfeels with plenty juicy fruit and acidity. That balancing act is done to perfection here in our opinion.

And while these four bottles would together normally set you back $258, today we’ve discounted them as much as humanly possible, and probably into a price point they’ve never seen before…

For the next day you can get the Sojourn Cellars Single Vineyard Chardonnay 4-Pack (2 bottles of each wine) for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s a discount of XX%, saving you a total of $XXX or an average of $XX a bottle!

 
Let’s take a look at the 2021 Sojourn Cellars Reuling Vineyard Chardonnay first. You will receive two bottles in today’s 4-pack.

From the winery:

2021 Sojourn Cellars Rueling Vineyard Chardonnay
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County

Reuling Vineyard is located just off Highway 116 between Graton and Forestville. This wine is rich and distinctive. A unique “suitcase” Montrachet clone of Chardonnay takes center stage here, and, when combined with the exceptional 2021 growing conditions, demonstrates balanced acidity and rich, complex flavors in the finished wine. The wine is aged in French oak (50% new) and 75% undergoes malolactic fermentation.

Reuling Vineyard is perched on a small hillside with gentle slopes at an elevation of 250 feet. It benefits from the cool marine influences converging from the coast, yet is exposed to the sun and afternoon heat, allowing the grapes to reach optimal maturity. It’s extremely sandy Goldridge soil naturally stresses the vines, resulting in low yields and concentrated flavors.

This rich, full-bodied Chardonnay exhibits flavors of honeysuckle, pear, honeydew melon and nutmeg that unfold with layers of complexity.

And now on to our review:

The 2021 Sojourn Cellars Rueling Vineyard Chardonnay begins with beautiful aromas of pear plus lemon and other citrus, some lovely savory and salty notes and touches of fresh baked bread and butterscotch. There’s a lots going on here but it is very cohesive. It’s a wonderful start.

The wine tastes just delightful. It features a very round and smooth mouthfeel plus all the same flavors as the nose. There’s lots of sea salt minerality throughout which is a wonderful complement to all the juicy, tart fruit.

The 75% malolactic is just about perfect in our opinion as the wine retains plenty of juicy fruit and acidity but also benefits from the round, slightly creamy mouthfeel without veering off into buttery territory.

It ends dry, very long and juicy with a bit of lasting chalky minerality that is really nice and unique. Fantastic!

 
Up next we’ve got the 2022 Sojourn Cellars Durell Vineyard Chardonnay. You will receive two bottles in today’s 4-pack.

From the winery:

2022 Sojourn Cellars Durell Vineyard Chardonnay
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County

We are fortunate to work with two outstanding Durell Vineyard Chardonnay blocks that blend with synergy and result in exceptional wines each vintage. These two blocks of Old Wente clone Chardonnay have formed the Sojourn Durell Chardonnay since 2012. The 2022 vintage offered lower yields and the Chardonnay berries were tiny and sparse leading to greater intensity in the wine.

We picked the blocks about a week apart and both blocks were picked at night to retain freshness and allow us to extract only the highest quality juice. The blocks were pressed whole-cluster and fermented separately in French oak barrels (40% new). 85% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation.

This wine offers a unique combination of apple and citrus fruit aromas with layers of minerality. It is expansive yet balanced, with great acidity, firm structure, and a long finish.

Produced & Bottled by Sojourn Cellars
14.3% Alcohol
Cork

And now on to our review:

The 2022 Sojourn Cellars Durell Vineyard Chardonnay opens with a harmonious and intoxicating aroma of citrus, especially lemon, with elegant touches of vanilla cream, flowers, a touch of a chalky note and much more as you sniff and swirl. It only takes one sniff to know this is something special.

The first thing you notice when tasting is the smooth, round, mouth-filling texture followed quickly by the layers of fruit with nice touches of spice throughout. It features similar notes to the nose, but the fruit is a bit more tart in the mouth with touches of tropical fruit appearing as well.

It ends dry, very long and juicy with a touch of that chalkiness from the nose returning. Now this is some fantastic, splurgeworthy Chardonnay!

Cheers,
Jon

Built to age, the wine is fermented 50% whole cluster (with indigenous yeast) with a long 30 day maceration. It then spent 3 years in oak barrels plus it’s had another 9 years in bottle to let everything settle in, harmonize and smooth out. Just a tiny 65 cases were produced.

This is no expense spared winemaking that you simply cannot normally find for less then $50 a bottle. It comes from the owner/winemaker of Filomena, Luke Nio. He was cellar master for Bedrock Wine Co for 7 years which is how he sourced the fruit for this wine. We’ll let him explain how this came to be from the release letter for this wine in 2024:

This wine is very special. During my first year as Master of the Cellar at Bedrock, just as harvest was kicking into gear, Morgan and Chris, the head honchos of Bedrock, walked up to me, listed 5 vineyards and 5 grape varieties, and simply said, “Just pick one,” (with no context). As soon as I heard “Bedrock Petite Sirah,” that was all I needed to hear. It didn’t matter what the ultimate question was, that was my answer. Imagine my shock when they both replied, “Awesome, you have one ton of Bedrock Petite Sirah, make it however you’d like.”

I certainly didn’t know it yet, but this was the foundation of Filomena and my career as a Winemaker. It was this early stage of experimentation that brought a smile to my face and spring to my step in the cellar. I was no longer just a harvest intern or a Cellar Master, I was a Winemaker.

I decided to go off-the-wall from the jump and fermented indigenously with 50% whole cluster. I know that seems like Filomena’s SOP nowadays, but adding stem tannin to a Petite Sirah ferment that already had plenty of tannin was a little crazy at first. To balance this decision, I let the ferment sit on the skins for over a month before pressing. This mellows and rounds the wine, allowing the tannins to link up, forming long polymer chains. This is the same process that tannins go through during bottle aging and is the main reason we have been waiting 10 years to release this wine!

Once pressed after its extended maceration, the wine aged in the very same puncheon it fermented in for three years. It was finally bottled in 2017 and I had begun to make other wines for what would eventually become Filomena Wine Co. We dropped this pallet of precious Petite Sirah in the darkest corner of the warehouse and did our best to just forget about it. Having tried several Petites from the 70s made at Freemark Abbey, I already knew the magic of old Petite Sirah and I had decided to let this wine slumber for as long as possible.

And here we are, at the 10 year anniversary of this wine and Filomena Wine Co. It is an exquisite wine, showing no visible signs in the glass of its already decade-long life. Deep garnet in color, spiced and sanguine on the nose, dark fruited and dynamic on the palate. While one might expect a Petite Sirah to have a finish that continues to deepen, this wine pulls a 180 and finishes with verve and vibrant red fruit.

I am so damn proud of this wine and I can’t wait to see how it continues to evolve. I hope you all enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Normally priced at a reasonable $50 a bottle, today we’ve got it for much less! But with only 65 cases produced you’ll have to act fast if you’d like to try some…

For the next day you can get 3 bottles of the 2014 Filomena Bedrock Vineyard Petite Sirah for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s a discount of XX% saving you over $XX a bottle!

And now on to our review:

The 2014 Filomena Bedrock Vineyard Petite Sirah begins with a strong, enticing aroma loaded with dark berry fruits plus plenty of baking spice notes, vanilla, mint, cedar and more. It’s really harmonious in the way that only a wine with some age on it can be. Needless to say, it’s a fantastic start.

The wine tastes big, rich and juicy and features similar notes to the nose, loaded with depth and flavor. Still fresh and featuring plenty of fruit plus lots of structure, it’s easy to see why they waited so long to release this. It’s singing now though, and still has a long life ahead of it.

It ends dry, juicy, quite grippy and very long on the satisfying finish and it was just as good on day 2. We’ll put this at the high end of our 9 Taste Rating at 92-93 points.

Cheers,
Jon

I discovered your site looking up Costco wine reviews and have been hooked on your insider deals ever since. I’ve been referring every friend I know.”

“I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)”

“I have been buying your Insider Deals for about 3 years now and we have enjoyed every one of them. They are wines that we never would have found on our own… ”

“The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn’t purchase more.”

“Also your prices are pretty amazing.”

“Hey Jon! You do great work. I’ve bought a bunch of the Insider Deals and probably 80% of the wine I drink comes from them. Great values!”

“The shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)….yikes!”

“Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn’t I buy a case??!!”

“Would you happen to be offering this one again anytime soon? I regret not buying more. This was exceptional!”

“My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!)​ Thanks for what you do and providing this service!​”

“Jon – you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!”

“ I only drink Reverse Wine Snob wine, it actually doesn’t make sense to buy from a store. You don’t get anything interesting, unique, and full of value otherwise.”

“Jon, I should have bought more! Delicious!!”

“I am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!”

53% Grenache, 41% Syrah, 3% Marselan and 3% Carignan made from organically grown grapes from 40+ year-old vines right next to Chateauneuf du Pape in the Rhone Valley of France. The wine is aged for 6 months in stainless steel vats.

Sample submitted for review. The 2023 Paul Jaboulet Aine Parallele 45 Cotes du Rhone is available for $12-$15. It is imported by Kobrand Corporation.

From the winery:

A classic since 1950, Parallèle 45 is the oldest Côtes du Rhône brand still in existence. Parallèle 45 is named after the 45th parallel, a famous circle of latitude that passes over the cellars of Paul Jaboulet Aîné. It is known as the “Latitude of Great Wines”, crossing over Willamette Valley in Oregon, Bordeaux in France, Piedmont in Italy, and of course the Rhône Valley in France.

The grapes for Parallèle 45 are farmed organically. They grow on 40-year-old vines in clayey limestone and alluvial deposits composed of round pebbles. The grapes are destemmed, crushed, and the juice undergoes fermentation. The wine is then aged for 6 months in stainless steel vats.

Harvest Note: The 2023 vintage began with a rainy autumn with a dry winter. Flowering took place in mid-May in good conditions. The summer months were relatively moderate with a few days of very hot weather. Overall, the good weather conditions enabled most plots to ripen in healthy conditions.

Tasting Note: Garnet red in color, this fruit-forward wine has notes of strawberry, cherry and spices with a powerful finish

Food Pairing: Lasagna with Mediterranean vegetables, fondant au chocolat

GRAPES: Grenache (53%), Syrah (41%), Marselan (3%), Carignan (3%)
APPELLATION: Côtes du Rhône AOC
PH: 3.72
ACIDITY: 4.65
AGING: 6 months in stainless steel vats

14.5% Alcohol

We love a good Rhone wine, especially those that deliver at a low price. And today’s example comes from the well-respected Paul Jaboulet Aîné, who produces the renowned Hermitage La Chapelle bottling that routinely retails for around $200 a bottle for recent vintages and much more for older ones. Let’s check out how this much less expensive bottle tastes!

The 2023 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Parallele 45 Cotes du Rhone opens with an attractive aroma of smoky black cherry, strawberry and touches of baking spice. It’s a good start.

The wine tastes smooth, balanced and structured, and while it is quite easy to drink it also has decent depth to it. It does need a couple of hours to open up to be at its best though.

It ends dry, smooth and a bit grippy on the long finish and was similar on day 2. Overall, this is a nice, easy example of Cotes du Rhone at a great price.

Review Summary

100% Gruner Veltliner from Kamptal DAC, Lower Austria. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and has just 1 g/L of residual sugar.

We’re big fans of Gruner Veltliner, an under-appreciated grape found mostly in Austria. Known for its zesty acidity, it can be produced in a number of styles.

Today we’ve got an easy drinking example that focuses on the citrus and tropical fruit flavors, along with that signature acidity. Let’s check it out and see if it really is “Singing”…

Sample submitted for review. The 2023 Laurenz V Singing Gruner Veltliner has an SRP of around $20, but can be found for as low as $16. It is imported by Folio Fine Wine Partners – The Michael Mondavi Family.

From the winery:

A very attractive fruit bouquet yields apple, peach and citrus aromas along with a typical Veltliner spiciness and a touch of white pepper. The soft and juicy palate is supported by fine acidity. It sings on the palate!

Origin: The grapes for the Singing Grüner Veltliner are sourced from the Kamptal in Lower Austria, which is regarded as being the cradle of Austria’s signature grape variety. Here, the Grüner ripens in granite, gneiss, mica-slate as well as loess soils. The northerly cool air streams from the rugged Waldviertel region and results in a significant day and night temperature difference. This in turn slows the ripening process of the grapes, and it is the diurnal effect of warm days and cool nights that makes wines from this region taste so fresh and fruity. The most beautiful kind of “Cool Climate Viticulture”.

Varietals 100% Gruner Veltliner
Appellation Kamptal DAC
Fermentation Stainless steel
Acidity: 5.4 g/l
Residual Sugar: 1.0 g/l – dry
Certified Sustainable
12.5% Alcohol

The 2023 Laurenz V Singing Gruner Veltliner opens with a fresh, lovely aroma of apple and citrus with touches of kiwi. It’s a nice, inviting start.

The wine tastes crisp and delicious and features that signature acidity. It also features a smooth, layered mouthfeel. The flavors are similar to the nose.

It ends crisp, dry, a bit tangy and with good length on the lip-smacking finish. This is easy and fun to drink yet still has enough complexity to keep it interesting.

One last note, thanks to that good acidity, this is also a great variety to pair with foods – anything from vegetables to fried and spicy foods all make great combinations. We encourage you to explore them!

Review Summary

Syrah from the Eagle & Plow Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills of Washington State.

There’s very little information available on today’s wine from Trader Joe’s, which is they way things usually go with these private labels. We do know that it comes from DNA Vineyards, who produce a number of the Trader Joe’s wines including the excellent Trader Joe’s Reserve Walla Walla Syrah.

Sample submitted for review. The wine is available exclusively at Trader Joe’s for just $9.99.

From the bottle:

2023 Trader Joe’s Reserve Eagle & Plow Vineyard Horse Heaven Hills Syrah Lot #269

Cellared & Bottled By DNA Vineyards
14.5% Alcohol

The 2023 Trader Joe’s Reserve Eagle & Plow Vineyard Horse Heaven Hills Syrah opens with pleasing aromas of plum, dark fruit (blackberry), lots of meaty notes, black pepper, touches of floral notes, graphite, and more. It’s a nice, classic Syrah start.

Taking a sip reveals the wine to be similar to the nose, but also quite juicy in the mouth and really tasty! It’s not the most complex version of Syrah but just like the Walla Walla, it sure is enjoyable.

It ends dry, juicy and quite long and was just as good on day 2.
