Speaking of new discoveries, there's no better place to find them than in person at one of our weekly in-store tastings.

First up, the 2021 Optik releases from Santa Maria Valley showcase two of California’s most iconic vineyard sites—Solomon Hills for Pinot Noir and Bien Nacido for Chardonnay—crafted under the experienced hand of Joey Tensley in partnership with the Miller family. With critical praise across the board, this duo represents the depth, character, and collectability that have made the region a benchmark for world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Apply to that our best in market pricing, and this duo is a true no-brainer.

Next up, the 2020 Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino represents one of the most exciting releases of the vintage, earning 97 points from Jeb Dunnuck and Kerin O’Keefe alongside additional critical acclaim. Fuligni, a historic estate on the eastern slopes of Montalcino, is celebrated for its refined, traditionally styled Brunellos that balance power and finesse. Offered at $89.99 (elsewhere $120), this benchmark bottling underscores both the pedigree of the estate and the collectibility of the 2020 vintage. A must-have for Brunello enthusiasts and serious collectors alike.

And finally, Knob Creek’s 18 Year Old Limited Edition represents a rare opportunity to experience one of the longest-aged bourbons in the Jim Beam portfolio. Bottled at 100 proof and aged twice as long as the distillery’s flagship release, this whiskey reflects the depth, complexity, and craftsmanship that define traditional Kentucky bourbon-making. Produced in limited quantities and highly allocated, it stands as both a collector’s piece and a showcase of Knob Creek’s commitment to full-bodied, well-matured American whiskey.
