Cellar Trading's Top 50 Values!

As we close in on the end of 2024, we’ve been spending some time pouring over our inventory and thinking about what we recommend buying right now. In this season of abundance and going big, values can feel really good this time of year as well! We crunched some numbers, looked at ratings, prices (of course), a whole bunch of reviews, and finally, put our heads together to determine if the wine has that special something that makes it stand out from the crowd. From our short list of highly rated, competitively priced finalists we’ve honed it down to our top 50 values.

The winners are standard-bearers from classic regions (Bordeaux! Burgundy! Piedmont!), or an exciting up-and-comer from the other side of the earth (Patagonia!), or gems that we’ve sourced but maybe have been overlooked (Adega Damm, Chevillon, Clos Apalta). Our top 50 values cover a wide array of regions and producers, but the through-line is these are all wines we highly recommend and would drink any day of the year.

Our list includes favorites from our remaining 2022 Bordeaux – an epic vintage and now is the time to buy – delivery will be in late December! Burgundy from Chevillon, Faiveley, Lamy and Mugnier, our latest Champagne discovery, legendary Clape Cornas, Janasse Chateauneuf, 3 incredible Barolos, Marcassin, Morlet, Realm, and Saxum, and so much more of what we love rounds out our top 50 values. As always, we are here to provide recommendations and feedback on all our selections and would love to share our thoughts with you.
