The Greatest Cotes Du Rhone Red Value in the World Presale! Plus 95 Point Cotes Du Rhone! Amazing Sancerre, Sancerre Rose and Tavel Rose Buys! New Wines and Beers!

It’s back and on deal again! When we first discovered this wine a few years back we were really blown away by the quality and value! We are able to offer it at the same ridiculous price of $9.99 bottle on 6 bottles or more of just this item! The Domaine de Grange de Payan Cotes du Rhone 2021 simply put it is very well made, ready to drink now (short term cellaring up to 24 months) and in my opinion the greatest Cotes d Rhone Value in the World! I have tasted dozens of Cotes Du Rhones over the last year and many great ones but none I can offer at this ridiculous price! I highly recommend to stock up on this one now!

 

On the perifery of the village of St. Gervais, Domaine de Grange de Payan is a family owned estate of about 30 hectares. The vineyards consist primarily of Syrah & Grenache, with small plots of Carignan & Cinsaut. While some of the parcels are sloped, most are horizontally terraced plots overlooking the Cèze river consisting of limestone and clay soil with some sandy soils and limestone scree from the terraces above. Yields at the domaine are restricted by the infertility of the soils and typically reach 40-45 hl./ha. – which is 10% 20% lower than the allowed maximums for Côtes du Rhône. Low yield = better fruit = better wine!

 

We are also offering the Boissy & Delaygue - Lou Pontias Cotes Du Rhone 2021 (Decanter 95 Points) which is a fuller bodied style as this is mainly Syrah. Both of these Rhones are perfect summer reds and pair well with just about anything off the grill!

This wine drinks well beyond its modest price and is one of the Greatest Wine Values in the World!

 James Suckling 95 Points - Corvina, corvinone, rondinella and sangiovese. In the past, all grapes were dried. Only corvinone today is dried due to the large berry size and greater liquid-to-solid ratio. While the oak is evident, this is clearly a full-weighted wine built to age. With this in mind, it serves as a structural addendum rather than a scream. Dark saturated cherry notes, kirsch, licorice strap, black olive tapenade and alpine herb, bound to an edgy twine of tannins, with an underlying raft of freshness conferring a sappy, crunchy feel and fine length. Drink or hold.

Argiano Rosso Di Montalcino 2020

The 2018 Argiano Brunello was Wine Spectator’s #1 wine of the Year! This is the young vines version of that wine! My favorite Baby Brunello that I have tasted in 35 years! Drink or Hold!

 

Vinous 90 Points - Masses of crushed cherries, ashen stone and grilled herbs make the 2020 Rosso di Montalcino impossible to ignore. This is a silky and pliant effort with a pleasant inner sweetness and pretty strawberry fruits. The 2020 lingers with a slight herbal tinge and a tart twang of wild berries, yet the endnote is freshness. There's so much energy here.

After this estate was acquired by Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano, the philosophy changed whereby quality and personality became the dominant priorities. In order to achieve these goals, Sebastiano Rosa was appointed as General Manager of the Estate. Having spent six years at the University of California at Davis, a two year tenure at Chateau Lafite Rothschild and three years at Sassacaia, he brings a strong mix of experience. In addition, Dr. Giacomo Tachis, probably the most well known winemaker in Italy today, became the oenologist. His legacy includes Sassacaia, Tignanello and Solaia, to name a few. Argiano's vineyards are located in the Montalicino area where a perfect microclimate assures a super ecological system.

Wine Spectator 96 Points

stunning, expressive white, with a savory, minerally edge that's distinctive and crisp, imparting elegance and restraint on the core of Honeycrisp apple, Meyer lemon and pureed mango flavors. Reveals hints of lemon thyme, nutmeg, toasted sesame seed and additional spices that linger on the fresh finish.

  

(Argentina) Catena Vista Flores Mendoza Malbec 2021

Bottle $17.99  15% off mix 12 $15.29

Robert Parker 92 Points

“very good acidity and freshness, reflecting a cool vintage, with varietal notes of violets, berries and herbs and a medium-bodied palate with fine tannins.”

 

(California) Brewer-Clifton Sta. Rita Hills Santa Barbara Chardonnay 2021

Bottle $39.99         15% off mix 12 $33.99 

Jeb Dunnuck 96 Points

Ripe orchard fruits, butted lemon, crushed stone, and salty, marine-influence notes all emerge from the 2021 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills, a concentrated, medium to full-bodied Chardonnay with a liquid rock-like sense of minerality, beautiful mid-palate density, and a great finish. You should never underestimate these appellation releases from Greg Brewer. This is an insane value in top Chardonnay from California.

  

(California) Martinelli Bondi Home Ranch Russian River Pinot Noir 2021

Bottle $84.99         15% off mix 12 $72.24 

 Wine Spectator 95 Points #19 WS Top 100 of 2023

(California) Hartford Court Russian River Pinot Noir 2021

Bottle $41.99         15% off mix 12 $35.69

  92 points Jeb Dunnuck

A youthful and saturated ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is ripe and spicy, with aromas of fresh pine, cherry liqueur, and fresh wildflowers. Medium to full-bodied, with ample richness on the palate, it reveals notes of ripe berries, turned forest floor, and toasted baking spice, and it has a classic feel, with good structure and a long finish. 

  

(California) Ramey Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Bottle $69.99  15% off mix 12 $59.49

 Robert Parker 95 Points

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with 10% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It has a deep ruby color and fragrance of Morello cherries, chocolate, mushrooms, savory herbs and pipe tobacco. The full-bodied palate is powdery and plush with soft, alluring streaks of herbal character and a long, layered finish. It could still use a few years in bottle.

 

(Argentina) El Enemigo Mendoza Bonarda 2020

Bottle $33.99  15% off mix 12 $28.89

 James Suckling 93 Points

A deep, stony, mineral bonarda with red cherries, blue fruit, graphite and some grilled herbs. Tight and juicy on the palate with firm but resolved tannins and a long, linear finish. Lovely austerity here. Drink or hold.

 

(Italy) G D Vajra Barolo Albe 2019

Bottle $49.99         15% off mix 12 $42.49 

 Robert Parker 94 Points

This is certainly one of the most popular and versatile wines made in Italy, and deservedly so. The well-priced G.D. Vajra 2019 Barolo Albe shows some ripe fruit and softness with cherry, dried raspberry and crushed rose. This vintage is similar in character to the 2016 release in that both vintages offer a linear style with good structure at the back. The mouthfeel is polished and long, affording accessibility and complexity too.

 

(France) Chateau La Vielle Cure Fronsac 2019

Bottle $44.99  15% off mix 12 $ 38.24

 Jeb Dunnuck 93 Points

A year-in, year-out best value, the 2019 Cis another winner from this chateau that does everything right. Revealing a deep ruby/purple hue as well as great aromatics of black cherries, tobacco leaf, spicy oak, and loamy earth, it's medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced, has silky tannins, and a great finish. It's just an impeccably made, satisfying, classic Right Bank beauty to drink over the coming 10-12 years. Bravo!

 

(Spain) Consentido - Monastrell Barrica 2020 Organic

Bottle $14.99     15% off mix 12 $12.74

 James Suckling 91 Points

"Some white pepper to the mixture of red and black berries. Flavorful and juicy with fresh, creamy tannins. Shows excellent balance even though it is not quite long. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."

Bottle $14.99     15% off mix 12 $12.74

The reflection of the sun’s rays off the Rhein river help to ripen these hearty red grapes, thus producing a full bodied wine with flavors of dark red fruits with a well balanced sweetness. Enjoy slightly chilled on its own or with cheeses, salads pasta and fish.

 (Italy) Corte Fiore Appassimento Rosso red 2022

Our bottle $17.99  Mix 12 or solid $15.29


This is our best selling Italian red of all time and also brought to us from the folks at 90+! One of the few wines that retains it’s own label! This classic Italian red wine is made from Montepulciano grapes grown (on the coastal vineyards of Abruzzo. The Appassimento technique is an old, traditional Italian winemaking method that involves partially drying grapes on the vine. This results in wines with greater concentration, body and texture, and allows winemakers to create more robust wines from grapes grown in cooler climates. This wine features aromas of wild cherry and red plum, followed by notes of juicy fruit, bright acidity and ripe tannins. Drink now to 2027.

Very Limited! Deep ruby purple in color, fantastic aromas, this is a beautifully balanced wine with flavors of blackcurrants, dark chocolate and cedar. Impeccably polished and well composed, it's hard not to pop open this bottle right away. This wine shows its pedigree as you would expect. From the color, the aromas, the depth of fruit and complexity, the finish goes on and on, this wine is world class. The source winery for this wine sells the exact same wine for $99.99. Pairs wonderfully with marinated flank steak and porcini mushrooms or truffle gouda.

About Sugar Bear Ice Cream

From Emily! Ice cream has such a beautiful way of bringing out the child in us all, no matter our age. I think that's pretty special. I started making ice cream when my kids were tiny and I was immediately hooked. It all started with one small machine. Then I got a bigger machine and then, an even bigger machine. I began studying ice cream and collecting every recipe I could find, and what started as a hobby turned into an all-consuming passion. I enrolled in the Ice Cream Short Course at Penn State, which has been running for over 125 years and draws people from around the globe. Upon graduation, I started SugarBear, set up shop and never looked back.

I focus on flavors that are built around locally grown or created ingredients. My goal is to celebrate food, small business, and community. Each flavor is made from scratch and reflects the authenticity, joy and creativity of people who live and work in Charlottesville, VA.

Life is full of curveballs, but ice cream is constant. Many of us turn to it in the midst of happiness, crisis, and everything in between. For me, ice cream is always the answer. It is how I channel and share love, joy, and creativity.


The flavors below are available in Pints for $8.99

(NEW) Vanilla Plum Blackberry

Premium vanilla bean ice cream swirled with plum blackberry jam from Jam According to Daniel.
