The California Case
California grew more premium fruit than it could sell, and independent labels are bottling the overflow at a fraction of the old price. Ten different bottles across Napa, Sonoma, Alexander Valley, Paso Robles and Lake County — including two Chardonnays, one oaked and one not, so you can settle that argument at home. $286.86 of wine and glassware for $244.99.

Every bottle, and why it made the cut.
Nothing in here is filler. Each one was picked by the people who stock our shelves, for a reason you can taste.
The other Chardonnay
River Road Chardonnay Unoaked 2020 750ml
$29.99 on its ownDeliberately here as the opposite of the bottle above: same grape, no oak at all. Open them together and settle the oak argument for yourself.
The Paso Cabernet
Ancient Peaks Paso Robles 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
$24.99 on its ownEstate-grown on an ancient seabed ranch. Paso gives Cabernet more sun and more generosity than Napa, for half the money.
The Alexander Valley
Architect Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 750ml
$24.99 on its ownAlexander Valley is where Sonoma grows Cabernet as well as Napa does and charges less for saying so.
The Sauvignon Blanc
Markham Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml
$23.99 on its ownNapa Sauvignon Blanc is rounder and riper than the New Zealand style most people expect. Worth knowing the difference.
The aged one
Omen Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 750ml
$23.99 on its ownCabernet with real bottle age at this price is close to unheard of. The tannins have already done the softening for you.
The Napa benchmark
Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 750ml
$22.99 on its ownA straight, honest Napa Cabernet at a price that has not chased the rest of the valley upward. The reference point for the others here.
The Zinfandel
High Valley Zinfandel 2020 750ml
$21.99 on its ownLake County sits high and cool, which keeps Zinfandel from turning into jam. California's own grape, done with restraint.
The estate blend
Trefethen Eshcol Estate Red Wine 750ml
$22.99 on its ownTrefethen have farmed Oak Knoll since 1968. Eshcol is the blend they make from their own fruit rather than the one they sell for prestige.
The value proof
Twenty Acres Chardonnay 2022 750ml
$18.95 on its ownCalifornia grew more premium fruit than it could sell and small labels are bottling the overflow. This is what that surplus tastes like at nineteen dollars.

Hand-picked from what's on our shelves right now. If something sells through we swap in an equal-or-better bottle and tell you before it ships.
The story
California grew too much fruit. That's your opportunity.
For the last few years California has harvested more premium grapes than the market could absorb at premium prices. Fruit contracted to well-known estates has ended up surplus, and a wave of négociant brands has appeared to buy it and bottle it under new names.
The wine in those bottles is not a downgrade. It is frequently the same fruit, from the same blocks, vinified by the same people — sold without the marketing budget, the estate name, or the twenty-year price expectation attached to it.
That's the whole argument for this case. Four labels most people have never seen, from vineyards most people have. It is the cheapest way to drink genuinely good Californian wine right now, and it won't last forever — the surplus is already tightening.

Cheaper than the same bottles, one at a time.
No mystery discount. Here's exactly what each item costs on our shelf today, and what the bundle costs instead.
Someone already chose
The hard part of a bottle shop is the wall of labels. This is one decision instead of four, made by people who taste this stuff for a living.
It costs less than the parts
Every bundle is priced under the sum of its bottles at today's shelf price. The receipt on the left is the whole argument.
It gives well
A single bottle is a nice gesture. A themed set with the story of each bottle is a present — and it arrives ready to hand over.
One delivery, one signature
Local delivery or in-store pickup, all of it in one box. Someone 21+ signs once and you're done.

Questions, answered.
How does delivery work?
We deliver locally and offer in-store pickup — the options you'll see at checkout depend on your address. As a New York package store we can't ship out of state, so delivery is limited to where we're licensed.
Do I have to be 21?
Yes. You must be 21 or older to buy, and an adult signature (21+) is required at delivery.
What if one of the bottles is out of stock?
Bundles are built from live shelf stock, so the page will stop you before that happens. If something sells through between your order and packing, we substitute an equal-or-better bottle from the same country or category and email you first — or refund that portion if you'd rather.
Can I swap a bottle?
Tell us in the order notes and we'll do our best. The bundle price is built around the specific lineup, so a swap needs to be a like-for-like from the same country or category.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes — check out to your recipient's address inside our delivery area. Whoever accepts the delivery has to be 21+ with ID. Add a note at checkout and we'll include a card.
Is this a subscription?
No. Bundles are a one-time purchase. If you want a new one every month, that's what the Wine Club and the Craft Bartending Kit club are for.
