Volume 1: Let’s Get It Started
Limited and Landed Parcels at World-Low Prices
|
First of all, Happy Easter (if you celebrate) and in any event, I hope you're enjoying the long weekend with family, friends, great food, and even better wine.
|
If you’ve signed up recently, you should have received our welcome email, so I’ll skip the intro and dive straight into the exciting part: this week’s wines. Get your corkscrews (and credit cards) ready!
|
To kick things off, we’ve curated some exceptional value across a few key regions to test the waters and understand your preferences. This week’s highlights include:
|
- A vibrant rosé Champagne
- A beautifully aged white from Argentina
- A classic, benchmark Barbaresco
- A Burgundy from the highly praised 2022 vintage, celebrated for its sunny, silky, red-fruit-driven Pinot Noir
|
