Fine Wine. No Attitude.

At Frankly Wines, we offer our version of the well-stocked wine closet: a well-edited selection of daily essentials, quirky finds, and higher end treasures for when you’re feeling flush.

Our selection skews towards the Southern Hemisphere, but you’ll also find wines from most other major (and minor) regions of the world. And you can be sure every bottle represents great value – when you sell less than 200 wines, they all have to be good!

Search or browse our wine selection. Or scroll down to see our featured wines and rotating three packs.

Featured Wine: MAGNUM MADNESS!!

big sale.jpg

Big bottles! Magnums! 1.5 Liters (That’s 2 regular size bottles, for the mathematically challenged.) We (obviously) believe the more wine the merrier. So we’ve put together a great selection of magnums to entice you to share this belief.  And with our MAGNUM MADNESS sale taking place throughout January, you now have no reason not to throw pick up a bottle – or three.

Here’s the scoop:

Buy 1 magnum*, get a 10% discount
Buy 2, get a 15% discount
Buy 3, get a 20% discount

Mix and matching is allowed. To see what's on hand, go to our WINES page, type 'MAGNUM' in the producer/vintage/region field, and hit the search button.

* Applies only to magnums regularly priced above $30. Discount will not be reflected online. We’ll process the credit manually, because our deals are way fancier than our online ordering system.

Featured Wine: Wine You Never Knew You Needed: Rhone Valley Gamay


souteronne - square.jpgDomaine Romaneaux-Destezat “La Souteronne” 2010: We love this wine. It  has the bright, vibrant red fruits typical of the Gamay grape, but on the finish, there’s a kick of black pepper more typical of the Rhone Valley. It’s complex, a little geeky, and highly drinkable – a mix that we find irresistible. Click through to learn more.

Fancy Pants Wine: A Really Good Bottle of Champagne

Now that the holdiays are over, you know what you should be doing. DRINKING CHAMPANGE! 

ledru.jpgYou should drink it year round. Whenever  you want. Not just for big celebrations. Because champagne is really just wine with bubbles. And it’s delicious!
 
Now, on to the recommendation

If I could place a bet on which champagne is going to be the hottest thing going in the next couple years, I would bet on the bubbles of Marie Noëlle Ledru.  Actually, I have bet on her. This season, we stocked a range of her wines. There are only a few left at this point, so act fast!

Spirits : We've Got Booze!!


liquor.jpgDistilled spirits. Liquor. Hard alcohol...Whatever you call it, we have it. At least a bit of it.

Given the size of the shop, it shouldn't be a huge surprise that our spirits selection is very, very well edited. But we've managed to sneak in some quirky cool finds, as well as the basics. You can't yet view spirits through our regular wines search page, but click here to see a partial list of what's on offer.

Featured Wine: REVERSE DETOX KIT

reverse detox.jpgYou’ve fasted. You’ve cleansed. You’ve completed your detox regime. It’s time to move beyond your New Year’s resolutions and make your way back into the real world – where food must be chewed and liquids are not the main course. The Frankly Wines Reverse Detox Kit makes this a bit easier.

We’ve picked out six wines and lined them up from lightest to heaviest. We start you out with a light, minerally Muscadet and gradually work you up to a big, rich Malbec. Take your time with the 30 Day Slow & Steady Program. Or whip yourself back into form with the 15 Day Quick Start Program.

We pack it all up in a handy tote bag, including a tasting calendar, wine notes, and food suggestions – just in case you need to practice your chewing.

Price: $85

3 Pack: Naughty and Nice 2-Pack

You can have it both ways with this 2-Pack. We pair up the devilishly good Velvet Devil Merlot with an orange wine made by actual nuns. The Velvet Devil speaks for itself, but a word on the orange wine… it’s a white wine that gets a lot of skin contact, resulting in extra structure and exotic notes of spice, incense and peach skin. Sort of like midnight mass in a bottle.

Pack includes:

The Velvet Devil 2010 (Columbia Valley, Washington)
Coenoblum Rusticum Vino Bianco 2009 (Lazio, Italy)

Price: $40

3 Pack: Hot and Not 2-Pack

We’ve paired a Jura red (the bleeding edge of wine geek cool) with a white Bordeaux (even less fashionable among the winerati than red Bordeaux, if such a thing is possible.) But we love them both – and we really love the idea of selling them together in a boxed set. It’s like the Prom Queen dating the Class Nerd….The Breakfast Club in a box?

Pack includes:

L'Espirit De Chevalier Bordeaux Blanc 1999 (Pessac Leognon, France)
Jacques Puffeney Trousseau Les Berangeres 2009 (Jura, France)

Price: $55

3 Pack: NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION SUGGESTION: Get to Know a Grape

Old World/New World 2-Pack – Bordeaux Blend: Bordeaux vs a Bordeaux blend from South Africa. Which one will win? We bet both.

Pack includes:

Chateau La Croix Romane Lalande de Pomerol 2008 (Bordeaux, France)
De Toren Z 2008 (Stellenbosch, South Africa)

Price: $60

Spirits : GIFT IDEA: Bar in a Box


Basic Bar in a Bag

Since we now have our spirits license, we’ve put together your basic bar needs in one bag. Each set includes 1 bottle each: vodka, rum, scotch, gin, tequila, bourbon and as a FREE bonus,* a bottle of Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth.

be prepared block.jpg42 Below Vodka (80 Proof) (New Zealand)
Denizen Light Rum (80 Proof) (Trinidad & Tobago)
Grant's Blended Scotch Whisky (80 Proof) (Banffshire, Scotland)
Brokers Premium London Dry Gin (94 Proof) (England)
Espolon Silver Tequila (80 Proof) (Mexico)
Bulleit Frontier Whiskey (90 Proof) (Kentucky, USA)
Noilly Prat Original French Dry White Vermouth 375ml (France)

Price: $150 (including tax)

 

*OK, it’s not really a FREE bottle of vermouth because that would not be legal. But the discount on this line up is nearly equal to the price of the vermouth. So just tell yourself it’s a FREE bottle, and you’ll be happier than if we tell you you’re getting a 3% discount (which is still a good deal, because we almost never discount our spirits.)

Fancy Pants Wine: Something Not So New & Different (but still good!)


La Fenetre.jpgIt’s true. I admit it. I often find myself yammering on about the new, the different, the latest, greatest, coolest wine you never knew you needed. But sometimes, you just want to stand by the tried and true. Like a nice, rich, creamy California Chardonnay. Well, among the rows of Jura wines and dry muscats and Chateau Musar, we do indeed have a new California Chardonnay that deserves to be highlighted:

La Fenetre Bien Nacido Vineyard 2008 (Santa Maria Valley, California)

Spirits : WHISKEY

Kiuchi No Shizuku.jpgKiuchi No Shizuku Distilled Hitachino White Ale (86 Proof) (Japan) - 200 ml:

Distilled craft beers are the newest cool kids on the whiskey block. Which makes sense, since before distillation, whiskey starts out as basically an unhopped beer. However, committing to a bottle of the newest cool kid on the whiskey can be prohibitively expensive. The solution? – A 200ml bottle of a distilled craft beer that costs only a few dollars more than 12 oz of the undistilled version. For those unfamiliar with Hitachino Nest White Ale, it is a fantastic German-style weissbier from Japan. This shipped in quantity to Germany, where it is distilled and infused with orange peel and coriander – the perfect accompaniment to any weissbier. How does it taste? Exactly like a distilled weissbier should. Why are you still reading this and not trying it yourself? Buy one for yourself and one as a stocking stuffer for your favorite beer or spirits geek while youre at it! The bottles are adorable too.

Price: $18.37
