SALE ends Sunday October 18th, 2026

I paid $6.29 for a drink at Starbucks yesterday. Not some fancy drink with like 36 instructions. Just a coffee and milk on ice.

So you can imagine how excited I get when I can purchase an entire bottle of rosé, from southern France, for just $1 more.

Pâle Comme la Lune is a new arrival into our rosé lineup and it fits our business model perfectly. Insanely delicious and unbeatable value.

The name of the w**e, Pâle Comme la Lune (Pale as the moon), also happens to accurately describe what you get in the glass.

Pour a glass and you'll see what I mean. Barely pink, with a faint bluish tint at the edges. Almost silver. Like moonlight on water, which is exactly what's on the front of the bottle.

So how do you make a rosé this pale? Two things.

First, they pick at night. The grapes come in cool, before the southern French sun can warm them up, which keeps the juice fresh and protects it from oxidation.

Second, direct pressing. The grapes go straight into the press, and the juice comes off the skins almost immediately. All the color in rosé comes from skin contact, so less contact means a paler, more delicate w**e. Then it ferments cold, around 60 degrees, to lock in the aromatics.

The vineyards sit at the foot of the Montagne Noire in the south of France, facing the Pyrenees, anywhere from about 160 to 1,600 feet up. Atlantic air comes in from the west, Mediterranean air from the east, over clay-limestone soils and sandstone terraces. The w**e is a blend that includes Grenache, and it's bottled in the little village of Rieux-Minervois.

You've heard me opine before: rosé was never meant to be expensive. No oak, no years of aging, from the vineyard to your table within months. This is rosé priced the way rosé was always supposed to be priced.

Question is...am I taking more than one case home this week? I mean - it is supposed to be warm this week!

I know what I'm drinking tonight!

End of Season Rosé Blowout

SALE Runs Monday October 12th - Sunday October 18th, 2026

Reminder we open at 9am Thursday - Saturday

*Limited Supply at these Prices*

Find me a better lineup of Rosé for under $10 per bottle? Heck, find me a better lineup of rosé than this for under $20 a botte!!

What is going on? It's that time of year!

You know, when it finally cools down from summer, and that first time you have to put the sweater on to leave the house (it kinda reminds me of the opening line of this song for some reason...also how good is that song?!?!)

At this point though, cooler weather doesn't slow down rosé. Rosé has basically become a year round sensation, but that doesn't stop our suppliers from being scared to have the product over the winter months. It's like they don't even know rosé is the ultimate Thanksgiving pairing!

Hey - their loss is your / our gain, as we took advantage of some end of season distributor closeouts and have, of course, passed the savings on to you guys. It's just how we roll. Oh - we're also bringing these to you at the lowest online prices in the United States :)

You might need some w**e for trick or treating, or for the upcoming Holidays, or just because...and rosé always seems like a good option to me!

One thing I know for certain. You will not find a better lineup of rosé at these prices anywhere in the United States.

After a strong 2nd place showing in the Caymus Blind tasting last weekend, and besting a w**e that is almost 6x its price, I have to start asking myself "Is Seigneur du Feu one of the greatest value w**es of all time?"

- It made its huge splash by winning the 2025 Silver Oak Blind Tasting
- It almost won the Caymus Blind Tasting in 2025
- It almost won again in 2026
- Sales in 2025 were up over 300%!
- Sales this year are up another 42% on top of that!

Last year the 4 times this w**e came back in stock you all purchased - over the course of 7 days - 809 six packs, 943 six packs, 1176 six packs, and a mind numbing 1,412 six packs.

That is a lot of w**e!!

I think people are yearning for a w**e (or any product for that matter) that actually can deliver high quality at low prices. It's what we're always shooting for here at w**estore., and Seigneur du Feu is leading the charge.

All Day Long!!

This Saturday is my favorite event of the ENTIRE year.

Our Annual Caymus Cabernet Blind Tasting!

And this year we're changing it up a bit. Given we've been doing these now for over 15 years, we have a long list of past champions that are still crushing it.

So this Saturday it will be Caymus against 7 past winners of this tasting...all blind. A tournament of champions if you will!

Caymus Cabernet is one of the hottest selling w**es in any given year, but if we placed it in a lineup with less expensive offerings, and in this instance less expensive offerings that WAY outdrink their price point - could you pick it out? Would it still be your favorite?

We're going to find out this weekend!

I mean, a Ducati is supposed to go faster than a bicycle, and a $70 w**e is supposed to taste better than a $20 one. Right? Well, maybe not. A w**e's success isn't measured in MpH, it's measured in the taste that is transferred from the glass to your mouth. If you don't know the price, can't see the label, and can't hear someone waxing poetic in your ear about the w**e's "score," then all that is left is the juice and your taste buds. It's a scary proposition for any w**emaker. That's why you have marketing departments that design catchy labels, create campaigns to build a w**e's image, and spend all of their time and energy essentially trying to convince consumers that a w**e is great. The problem is that you can't out "market" a blind tasting.

Which is why we're playing "Find the Caymus Cabernet" this Saturday. The format is simple really. Eight w**es will all be tasted blind on our tasting machines each at a cost of $1.00. ($8 to get through the whole tasting) One of them will be the 2023 Caymus Cabernet and the others will be an assortment of w**es at every price point from a number of different regions. All you have to do is taste and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's the Caymus, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are.

We hope to see you Saturday!

Here are things I know...

1) Ch*****ne makes everything better...
..and that may be all I need to know 😂

Heck, F. Scott Fitzgerald even said "Too much of anything is bad, but too much Ch*****ne is just right."

In a world where all we hear about are prices going up...we are pumped to be able to show you some prices going the other direction 🙌🏻

What's up with Guyot Choppin?

Jean-Nöel Haton makes numerous Ch*****nes; the Haton house is in the top ten of Ch*****ne producers. But you wouldn’t know about it unless you lived in Ch*****ne or were somehow deeply ensconced in the w**e biz. This family has been making Ch*****ne since 1928 and you should probably get in on it before the centennial in a few years when things are bound to get noisier and pricier.

This particular blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier is absolutely delicious - and at $29.99 may represent the greatest Ch*****ne value for sale in the United States right now!

What are we celebrating tonight? Whatever we want. It's another beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday All!

$9.99 is my sweet spot. My guilty pleasure type of w**e. I LOVE finding w**e I enjoy for less than $10.

I went with my son and a group of dads and kids from his class to Cleveland last weekend for the Panthers game (not the ideal outcome). Prices of things when you travel border on the absurd.

I can get a diet coke at Costco for like $0.25 a can. That same can at the hotel in Cleveland cost $5. It's the same product for the love.

While its not an exact comparison - if I can find a w**e that is pretty darn close to ones I really love at half the price? HUGE win.

Anyway - back to what makes Rase Montagne, our 2nd place finisher in our Prisoner blind tasting earlier this year, so special.

It's deep, dark red blend from the south of France that potentially is going to cause a paradigm shift for you in your belief in what is possible with w**e under $10.

What’s cool is that blends like this didn’t even used to exist on the French w**e scene. For decades, everything had to be labeled by place name, not grape. Unless you knew your regions by heart, you had no idea what was actually in the glass. Now, with Rase Montagne, you can just say “Alicante + Syrah” and know exactly why it tastes the way it does. This w**e is bold, juicy, and just a little wild — like the night that always starts with “just one glass.” Syrah brings the spice, Alicante brings the color and body, and together they make a blend that’s smooth, powerful, and far too easy to finish. Pairs with grilled meats, late-night pizza, and questionable decisions. Big, bold, and guaranteed to stain your teeth… and maybe your reputation.

While I aim to keep my reputation intact, I am ok with big and bold...and I plan on having this evening with some beef ragu we made in the crockpot.

Happy Tuesday all!!

These are the kind of w**es that get me fired up (in a good way 😂).

Delicious, great package, and....$7.99 per bottle?!?!? With tariffs?!?! What is going on!?

Here is how this happens...

Maison Bouterolle is not an estate. There's no moat, no tasting room, no family crest going back to Napoleon. It's a co-op. A collective of small but dedicated growers and vintners. Look at the label: Blend No. 016. Harvested, vinified, and aged by the house w**emaker. Cuvée Spéciale.

That is the oldest model in French w**e, and it's how some of the best bottles on earth get made. Every great Ch*****ne house is a blending house. So are the storied négociants of Burgundy. The w**emaker doesn't own the vineyards. The w**emaker owns the palate. They taste through dozens of small lots of Pinot Noir from cooler pockets across France, keep the ones that sing, and build one blend out of them. Then they number it, sign it, and move on to the next one.

And the name? A bouterolle is the metal tip at the end of a sword's scabbard, the little piece that protects the blade's point. Finesse et Tradition, it says at the top. The whole label is a wink: this is the house that keeps the sharp end covered.

The w**e itself is why we're here. Pinot Noir should be perfumed, silky, red-fruited, and light on its feet, and that is exactly what this is. 2025 vintage, so the fruit is a year off the vine and still bright as a bell. No heavy oak. No jam. Just clean, pretty French Pinot that tastes like it should cost 3x as much.

How does a w**e like this end up at this price? Same story we keep telling you: France is sitting on more good Pinot than it can sell, and the négociants and co-ops who know how to blend it are moving juice fast. I'm not sure how long this kind of environment will last...but I'm here for it.

This is the weeknight Pinot. Crock pot chicken. Salmon. Pizza night. The bottle you open while you're still cooking.

I know what I'm drinking tonight!!

TGIF!

Ok, so on this Friday, let me tell you about a ridge.

In 1892, an Italian immigrant named Giuseppe "Joe" Morelli, born on the shore of Lake Como, who fled to Switzerland to dodge the draft, crossed to New York, made charcoal for miners in Nevada, and cut redwoods along the Russian River as a lumberjack, finally saved up $3,100. He spent it on 80 acres of oak and redwood forest on the second ridge inland from the Pacific, just north of Occidental.

He and his sons cleared it by hand. Planted vines. Built two houses entirely of redwood, a three-story w**ery, and a cellar under the main house. In 1910 the three Morelli boys divided the property by drawing straws.

One of those straws is now Riddle Vineyard.

Riddle sits at 750 feet on Stoetz Lane, at the top of the Harrison Grade, six miles from the ocean. From the top of it you can look out over some of the most iconic Pinot Noir ground in America. Mornings are fogged in. Then the fog burns off and the vines sit in warm sun the rest of the day, which is exactly the recipe Pinot Noir wants.

Look at the neighbors. Aubert's UV-SL is here. CIRQ's Treehouse. Chenoweth. Dutton Ranch (not Kevin Costner's place 😂) farms the original Morelli vineyard next door. And Bill Price, the man who owns Durell and Gap's Crown (you know both names by now), planted a brand new vineyard at the very top of the lane. When Bill Price buys the lot next to yours, you're in the right neighborhood.

James Riddle planted his 17.5 acres in 2008, at high density on well drained Goldridge and Franciscan shale soils, and he farms it like a garden: clipping shoots to the wires by hand, making pass after pass through the rows to orient clusters and drop anything that isn't perfect.

Two more receipts on how coveted this fruit is. Rivers-Marie, the cult label from Thomas Rivers Brown, buys from Riddle. And an up and coming offering is also connected: Jason Driscoll got his first Sonoma fruit by knocking on Jim Riddle's farmhouse door with a picnic basket of homemade pâté and a bottle of Ch*****ne. Riddle is the vineyard people bring gifts to get into.

Sojourn has been making a Riddle Pinot since the vineyard's first fruit, and Erich Bradley's approach hasn't changed. Each clone is picked and fermented separately. Mt. Eden clone (dark, robust berry fruit) is the backbone, layered with clone 115 and Pommard for complexity and structure. Native yeast, open top fermentation, 50% new French oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered. That is all w**espeak for this is serious w**e made by serious people 😂

Quick refresher on how we got it: Sojourn is a 10,000 case w**ery in downtown Sonoma that sells almost everything through its own allocation list. New ownership as of last year is trimming the lineup from 37 w**es to about 20, and when a portfolio gets streamlined, w**e gets closed out. That is where we step in.

450 cases made. Release price $69. We bought 25% of the entire production.

I know what I'm drinking tonight!!
