The #1 Selling Kosher Red Wine of 2011 is BACK-after having been out of stock with the Supplier since last September, we are getting our first pallet of this LEGENDARY VALUE back in stock tomorrow! Even better, Don Alfonso is coming back with their ORIGINAL BLEND, the SAME TASTE that made it famous when it [...]

How stupid am I? Port Brewing Shark Attack Double Red Ale was rated 98pts by Ratebeer.com and I’m going to put it on sale for my wholesale cost of $5/bottle. Why am I doing this? I have no idea. It’s not a good move, though. I only got 5 cases and if it takes off [...]

Today, it happened-I DID IT. I secured Wine Spectator’s HIGHEST-RATED Chianti Classico from the 2009 vintage, making today’s wine, the WS92pt-rated 2009 Carpineta Fontalpino Chianti Classico, a virtual LOCK on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2012 (maybe even TOP 10!?!). Fontalpino’s Chianti Classico is nothing short of a bona-fide Tour de Force that simply [...]

In-Store ONLY Promotion! I finally received part of my Redbreast 12yr Cask Strength Irish Whiskey allocation. For those of you who don’t know, the Redbreast Cask Strength was rated 96pts AND “Irish Whiskey of the Year” by the Whisky Advocate. This item is very allocated. I think my distributor only received 300 bottles. It will [...]

There’s a Pioneer in the Kosher Wine World and his name is Peter Stern. He is responsible for the high end wines from Herzog Reserve, Yarden, Carmel, but today’s wine may be his greatest production to date, the 2009 Golan Heights Winery Gamla Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Brian and I discovered this at the Kosher Wine [...]

It NEVER ceases to amaze me how much some retailers will charge for certain wines. Now, don’t get me wrong. I understand that not every retailer is going to promote every item. It’s just not financially possible. However, I don’t get how a retailer can almost double their price on a wine that in FAMOUS [...]

Today’s BLOWOUT deal is nothing short of a Cellar Clearance on a Gambero Rosso 3 Glass award-winning BENCHMARK RED from Abruzzo, Italy: 2006 Fratelli Barba ‘Vigna Franca’ Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Originally $18/bottle, my final few cases are going for $9.99/bottle-that’s 44% off the original price!!! Gambero Rosso is at the TOP OF THE HEAP when it [...]

I know so many wine enthusiasts that are diving headfirst into the craft beer world. It seemed to have happened out of nowhere, but it’s a great thing. What’s funny about craft beers is some of them are IMPOSSIBLE to get. We sell a lot of beer and quite often we only get 1 case [...]

Today’s wine, a feature on the 2010 ‘Show’ Malbec from Argentina, is a wine that I, (yes ME, Steve Fahy) brought into the store because I loved it (note: buyers are NOT supposed to do this) . Truth be told, it’s my House Red. That’s why I bought it-not only for the ridiculous price I [...]

It takes A LOT for me to get really excited about a wine. I taste wines all day long. I know this may sound like the best job in the world, but it gets a little monotonous. Quite often, you taste certain wines and nothing distinguishes them. As a wine buyer/seller/enthusiast I’m always looking for [...]
