2021 Clearance Sales: A Great Start

www.napacabs.com

What’s in a name? Well Shakespeare fans, napacabs.com is a major wine retailer that now has a great sale going. And  the best deals are NOT from Napa and are NOT Cabs. Sure, it offers Opus One, Groth and Silver Oak Cabs.

But, wow, there are real wine deals from this major internet company.

Looking for special sites with clearance sales, I kept coming back to that one site, www.napacabs.com which despite its name, sells wines from all major parts of the wine world.  Based in Southern California, it has a solid track record for delivering what’s promised.

It has several wines from Raeburn, an up and coming Russian river star.

And it is especially strong in wines from Paso Robles and Oregon.

And right now, there are these 4 absolutely unbeatable deals:

2019 Raeburn Russian River Valley Chardonnay, $12.97 a bottle or $179 a case with free shipping. You cannot find a better Chard at this price!

2016 Two Sisters Pinot Noir, Lindsay’s Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills, $14.97,  a 70% discount

2016 Cenyth Sonoma Red Wine Blend ( 50% Cabernet Franc, 32% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon) $29.97

2018 Argyle Winery Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley $22.99

Free case shipping, it turns out, applies to 1,329 wines. Happily, it was easy to skip over the many supermarket wines like Cupcake, Josh, Yellow Tail,  Fat Cat and Fat Bastard. These along with the Kendall Jackson brands and 19 Crimes silly wines are pretty ordinary. 

But this is a great place to buy wines by the case to see you through the winter weeks. 

Yes, even a few napa cabs!

www.invino.com shocked me with the offer of the 2018 Tyrus Evan Syrah from Seven Hills Vyd, a rare Washington Syrah, for $19 a bottle. For Pinot Noir, it has Adelsheim’s 2015 Nicholas Vineyard. Best value: 2012 Formby & Adams Cab at $18.

www.wineaccess.com just listed my favorite luxury Washington Cab, theDeLille D2. It sold out quickly. But now there’s the 2017 Provenance Napa Cab at $39 and Foxen Pinot Noir from Bien Nacido Vineyard, a rare, and super wine.

www.thewinespies.com  worked their magic to secure cases of Larkmead’s 2016 Firebelle Cabernet. And toppped that with the ’17 Arietta Quartet. Zin lovers snapped up the Beekeeper Cellars Zins, but this is the site for Zin eyes.

www.lastbottlewines.com had the best price on the culty Beau Vigne Romeo Cabernet. It sold out in a flash.

www.wtso.com uncovered a hidden gem, the 2017 Gypsy Dancer Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, $19.99
