2020 Garzon Tannat
Originally from France, tannat-based wines finally found the spotlight they deserved in Uruguay. Those from Garzon sell for a fraction of their true worth.
"Dark cherries, fresh blackberries, dried meat, minerals and some savory spices. This is a medium-to-full-bodied, tight and chewy red with nice austerity to remind you that this is a tannat. Sinewy, very tight and robust, but not drying in the finish."

2021 Garzon Albarino
The winemakers at Garzon are equally adept at crafting serious whites. Their albarinos are as riveting as anything from Spain.
"Aromas of sliced pear, melon, mango and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied with tangy acidity and a juicy, fruity and fresh palate. Delicious now."

In time for the holidays, a Billecart-Salmon Champagne for under $40! Available through New Year's only at Binny's.
“Billecart-Salmon...
...is all about timeless elegance.”
-Antonio Galloni
Inspiration 1818 Brut NV by Billecart-Salmon
The Charles Le Bel Inspiration 1818 displays the classic, elegant Billecart-Salmon house style at a fraction of the cost of Billecart’s beloved cuvees. A fine, persistent bead and a lovely pale gold color greet the eye, while complex aromas of white alpine flowers, toasted brioche, marzipan, honey, pear and butter sauteed apple fill the nose. The palate follows suit, showing exceptional balance between a creamy mouthfeel, citrusy Meyer lemon-like acidity, ripe orchard fruit and a graceful mineral streak that runs through the delicate finish. A wonderful Champagne for a modest price. A star is born!
Cockburn White Heights
Fresh, tropical, papaya and pineapple flavors lead the way, supported by subtle aromas of honeysuckle. Crisp yellow plum and pear notes lead to a touch of vanilla on the finish. Serve chilled with salty snacks and nuts or try a White Port and Tonic.
Cockburn Ruby Soho
Bright aromas of blackberry fruit and toffee complement succulent red and black fruit flavors. Great freshness and balance are offset by explosive peppery spice. Enjoy lightly chilled with chocolate, cheese and fresh fruits or mix up a Port and Lemon cocktail.
Cockburn Tawny Eyes
A finely textured port with generous aromas of honey, caramel and hint of vanilla. Subtle flavors of red fruit and walnuts make this an elegant and sensual wine. Serve lightly chilled with dried fruits, cheese and pastries or mix it into a Tawny and Ginger.
2022 Claro Cabernet Sauvignon
"Black currants, violet hints, leafy tobacco notes - this is a spot on, classically expressed cabernet sauvignon. Reminded us of a Left Bank Bordeaux retailing at twice the price. A mind-boggling value."
Binny's Tasting Note
2021 Claro Sauvignon Blanc
"This sauvignon blanc is bursting at the seams with herbal hints, vibrant citrus notes, white apricots, and even peaches throughout the finish. Selling for only a fraction of its true worth."
Binny's Tasting Note
Today's offer showcases a pair of rieslings from two of the world's greatest vineyards. On sale now.
2020 Dr H Thanisch Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett
"This feather-light, sumptuous semidry Riesling opens with fragrant, cooling tones of crisp white melon and lime. Packed with sun-drenched white-peach and apple flavors and edged by smoke and petrichor, it's a penetrating, lip smacking kabinett that could only come from the Mosel."

2019 Dr H Thanisch Bernkasteler Graben Riesling Spatlese
"The 2019 Bernkasteler Graben Riesling Spatlese is coolish and precise on the crystalline and concentrated nose. Piquant and salty on the palate, this is a straight, fresh, piquant and persistently salty Graben Spatlese with spectacular grip and length."

Stephan Reinhardt The Wine Advocate, 30 October 2020
We couldn't be more thrilled to offer the latest releases from one of the wine world's greatest estates. Father and son Erich and Johannes Weber toil in their organically cultivated vineyards and take a hands off approach in their cellar. The results are some of the world's finest dry and off-dry rieslings. They are mouthwatering wines that highlight above all else the energy and purity of flavors that only Mosel rieslings can display. Though they just hit our shelves we expect these to move quickly. So now is the time to grab whatever you can before we are sold out!

Brand new in Binny’s cellars! Three sizes of a quintessential Bordeaux blend from the heart of Napa Valley. The 2019 Quintessa is a beautifully rendered expression of biodynamically grown Rutherford fruit, lovingly transformed into a perfect wine. Don’t miss this brilliant tour de force in wine making!
Quintessa 2019
“This is a winemaker's master class in blending and understanding of a long-standing site. Dried herb, cedar and pencil shavings accent lifted red fruit and brilliant acidity on the palate, with a supple yet still youthfully grippy texture that is framed by structured, graceful tannins.”
