The timing is coincidence, but the sentiment is sincere: we are passionate about our state and want to support our fellow Californians in this difficult time in any way we know how. The way we know is wine. We’ve enclosed in this newsletter some of our Buyers’ current favorites. And we are publishing it with the hopes that our beloved places and people under siege by fire will soon get the reprieve they so desperately need. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Domestic Newsletter]( this month's newsletter]( we welcome the fall season with a wide selection of the very best in domestic wine. Over the past several months, we have unearthed scores of outstanding values, from Napa Valley classics to great everyday finds from California's Central Coast. Given the impressive breadth of deals we've encountered, we thought it apropos to highlight the very best of the best-zeroing in on amazing finds you won't see anywhere else. Kicking things off is a selection of wines from our Insider's Advantage program. There are occasions when a producer or distributor offers us a deal that's so good that they ask us not to publicize it. This hidden pricing allows us to present these fantastic values without being too loud about just how good they are. Make no mistake, these wines are all carefully vetted by our buying team, so you can rest assured they are not only fantastic buys, but you are also getting wines that are among the best in their category. It's with no small measure of pride that we are able to bring these amazing finds to our customers. Next up in the newsletter are our top picks from Santa Barbara County. This region has come into its own in recent years, crafting wines that rank among the world's best. Ojai, Brewer-Clifton, and Stolpman are just a few producers drawing attention to this significant region. Sophisticated and sleekly styled, the wines of Santa Barbara are better than ever and are well worth a deep dive. From Napa Valley, we are excited to present a library collection from the iconic Von Strasser estate. These are classic Napa Cabs at very competitive prices, so there's no shortage of reasons to go big on this winery-direct opportunity. Speaking of library wines, any collector of the finest in Napa Cabernet shouldn’t miss out on the remarkable examples we have available from Veedercrest. Sourced from the famed “Pym-Rae” vineyard up on Mount Veeder, they are mailing list wines that originally sold for $125 and up, but we have them at over 50% off. It would be impossible to do a survey of American wine without a discussion of Ridge Vineyards. A benchmark producer, Ridge continues to craft category-defining expressions that delight collectors both at home and abroad. Our domestic buyer, Ryan Woodhouse, provides us with his assessment of what makes this iconic estate so successful. In this six-page newsletter and highlighted below, you will find what we think are the smartest buys in American wine. Whether you are looking for a cellar-worthy collectible or something to enjoy on Taco Tuesday, you'll be sure to find the perfect pick here.
