Items not labeled as Rapid Ship or Pre-arrival may require a transfer from the warehouse to our shipping facility before shipping, which can take 4–6 business days. Learn more on the Shipping Info page.

In-store Only Items

These items are available at our location to purchase in-store, or to choose in-store pickup at checkout.

Long-term Pre-arrival Items

Long Term Pre-arrival Definition: Ordering wine directly through us from our supplier partners in Europe in advance of the item’s physical arrival in the US.

Long Term Pre-arrival  sales ensure you’re getting the best possible price and that you have also secured the product before it hits the normal retail supply chain. The lead time for Pre-arrival goods is generally 4–8 months, sometimes longer based on supply chain and the logistics of transporting goods overseas. The expectation, from our team, is to communicate to the customer the location of their purchase every step of the way.

Case Only Items

This product is offered as a full case purchase option, minimum order quantities may be applicable. When available, multiple case options will be presented. If you are purchasing a Pre-Arrival item you must order a solid case.

Those that do not have the "rapid ship" icon are housed with our supplier and must be transferred to our warehouse before they can be picked up or shipped.

The 2017 Branco Superior, last seen in Porto just before bottling, is now in bottle and in the USA. It is a 60/40 blend of Viosinho and Verdelho aged for six months in 50% used French oak (although 15% had acacia heads). It comes in at 13.5% alcohol. This seems to have developed just as I’d hoped. It is a big step up over the regular Branco (not reviewed again this issue). Concentrated and showing fine persistence, it is intense on the finish. The acidity is over seven grams per liter and lifts the fruit. Yet it is also well balanced in every respect. The acidity doesn’t seem shrill at all. It holds the oak well too. At this point, the wood affects the texture more than anything else. It is nicely done. There should be no rush—it will age pretty well. It is also drinking well now. There were 39,000 bottles produced.
