The Friday List - 1/10/2025
Big Name Value
Hello Collectors,
We spend a lot of time focusing on the greatest wines of the world, and all too often the price tags might be a little steep for some. This is your reminder that there are still wines that are incredibly well made but remain a tremendous value. Today’s offer is full of names you know, but at prices that are no more than $200 a bottle. Whether you are stocking up on favorites or looking for something you haven’t tried, take this opportunity to fill up your cart with a range of stellar bottles that won’t break the bank!
Somehow, Mugnier is still producing a wine that is a fraction of the price of their more expensive crus, without sacrificing the quality. Hubert Lamy is another grower that the same can be said across an array of bottlings. Oh, and how about Chevillon, d’Angerville, and Lafarge all under that magic $200 number? And don’t miss multiple bottlings of mature Faiveley, all of which are drinking fantastically right now.
Italy remains a bedrock of collectible value, including stars like Conterno (both Aldo and Giacomo), Elio Grasso, Giuseppe Mascarello, and Vietti. Icons Giacosa and Biondi-Santi make small but meaningful appearances as well. Caymus, Saxum, and Kongsgaard’s masterful chardonnays round out our Californian offerings. Make sure to allocate time to browse this list – there are so many must-have bottles!
