A pair of 93 Pointers for Under $20 and return of recent favorite

We've got three great wines for you today.  Two of them each have 93 points and are on sale for under $20.  In addition our favorite Baby Amarone has returned and it's drinking just as well as the first release.

  • The Return of the Impossible: More of the impossible to find Cantina del Nebbiolo Barbaresco (93 Point as low as 19.99) has arrived and it's a stunning deal.  Complex and elegant this is a worthy addition to anyones cellar.
  • We managed to track down a 93 Point Bordeaux Château Gigault Cuvee Viva (as low as 18.99), we thought wines like that were extinct. 
  • The crowd pleasing Cantine Di Ora Amicone has returned!  This baby Amarone for under $20 was a hit last time we had it it and may vanish just as fast this go round.

Finding the Impossible: 93 Point Barbaresco as low as 19.99

Certain things are impossible to find in the wine industry.  A First Growth Bordeaux for less than $200, a Cult Cabernet for less than a $100 and a Barolo or Barbaresco for under $50.  While our dreams of $200 Lafite remain dashed we've just found an amazing Barbaresco at a steal of a price.  The 93 Point Cantina del Nebbiolo delivers amazing quality to dollar ratio and is an incredible elegant wine.  Similarly scored Barbaresco range anywhere from 50 to 650 a bottle!  If you've been looking for a great deal on an awesome wine this is it.

2010 Château Gigault Cuvee Viva: 93 Points JS as low as 18.95

"This is clearly another very great vintage in Bordeaux.  I think it's safe to say that this vintage has turned out slightly better than 2000 and as impressive as 2005." - Robert Parker

We honestly thought these wines had become a thing of the past.  A 93 Point Bordeaux for as low as 18.99?  If you'd asked me earlier I'd have told you that you needed a time machine to find a deal like that.  Grab this and savor it. Who knows how long it'll be before we see a price/score combo like this from Bordeaux again.

Back in Stock: Bashir's Find: Cantine Di Ora Amicone: Baby Amarone for under $20

Everybody loves a Amarone, except when they get to the price tag.  We're always on the hunt for one that delivers lots of quality at a great price but it's often a very frustrating search.  Enter Amicone made in the same region as Amarone and out of the same grapes (Corvina) this wine delivers a ton of quality at a reasonable price.  If you've got grilled meats, rich cheeses or heavy pasta on the menu (or just love a big rich red) this will delight.
