My Picks from This Week’s New Arrivals

We’ve added another exciting collection of new arrivals this week, and I’ve pulled forward a few gems from past weeks you may have missed. All of the aged new arrivals come from our storage, so you know that they’ve been resting perfectly in impeccable conditions. Cellaring my own wines at UOVO Chicago has been a true game-changer: more space at home, peace of mind knowing they’re secure, and zero risk of an overzealous guest uncorking something irreplaceable (like my child’s birth-year Bordeaux). If you need convenient, secure, state-of-the-art storage, or simply more capacity as a current UOVO storage client, we’ve got you covered. And, at Premier level, you receive complimentary temperature-controlled transfer of your Cellar Trading purchases to your storage location!

Back to today’s offer: alongside new Bordeaux arrivals, don’t miss my favorite unmatched-for-value winner, Pontet-Canet. You’ll find a who’s who of Burgundy with DRC, Grivot, Fourrier, Lambrays, Roumier, Vogüé, Bonneau du Martray, and Henri Boillot. Champagne selections range from case-worthy Dom, Cristal, and (new) Dhondt Grellet to rarities such as Egly’s Millésime and Krug’s Clos du Mesnil.

Italy is represented with iconic single vineyards – Vietti’s Cerequio, Sandrone’s Cannubi Boschis, and Mascarello’s “outstanding” (VM) Monprivato, possibly the best since 1989, while the Rhône brings newly arrived aged vintages of Chave’s Hermitage. From Napa, Scarecrow headlines the list, including the 100-point 2019. The single bottles of 1987 La Turque (96 WA) or Penfolds Grange (97 WA) would make exceptional birth-year gifts – rare gems for any 1987 or 1981 babies, especially from vintages that proved challenging across much of the wine world. We see you 1987 – that 40th will be here before you know it.

This is just a taste of what’s new – put your meetings, Zooms, and other responsibilities aside for a moment if you can, because I think browsing our latest arrivals is the perfect way to spend a Friday morning!
