Cellar Cornerstones
All In Stock!
Hello Collectors,
We get a lot of inquiries, especially from new members of the UOVO ecosystem, asking how do I begin in building or adding thoughtfully to a cellar? What exactly should I buy? We always suggest that collectors at any stage, beginner or expert, should buy what they love, with a strategic eye to buying the best you can afford from the most reputable sources. Perhaps most crucially, how does one figure out what they love, and furthermore, how do you find “the best”? To start, we recommend taking advantage of tasting opportunities like La Paulée, attending your local UOVO events, as well as staying current with subscriptions to Wine Advocate, Vinous, Jancis Robinson, Burghound, and other influential critics. Take a chance on an under-the-radar producer, try a region or grower that may feel intimidating at first, and don’t rule out social media – finding out about and following collectors and producers that you admire or are curious about can be a valuable resource for hearing about new releases, events, and impromptu gatherings.
Most importantly, we recommend homing in on a source that offers unparalleled expertise, fair pricing and impeccable provenance – UOVO Cellar Trading, of course! Whether you are just starting out or you’ve been with us since the beginning, we have a range of cellar cornerstones to offer today – and probably best of all at this moment, these are just a small portion of all of our in-stock wines. We’ve curated the below list to include quantities of 3+ and $300 and under. Look for 2022 Bordeaux which is shaping up to be a monumental vintage; Burgundy’s rising star Bouley along with collectible d’Angerville and Chevillon; Lamy and PYCM’s extraordinary whites; and Piedmont’s finest talents all making incredible wines at price points that feel great right now: Colla, Grasso, Oddero, Massolino and Vajra; and don’t miss the elegant Borgo del Tiglio’s Studio Bianco. All of these deserve a place in your cellar, no matter where you are in your collecting trajectory!
