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: SUPERBOWL SUGGESTION: Pink "Beer"


MoussamousettesRene Mosse Moussamoussettes Vin de Table Rose Perlant NV (Loire Valley, France)

OK, it's not really beer.  It's wine, slightly, naturally sparkling wine.  But for some reason, it puts me in a beer frame of mind.  The texture of the bubbles reminds me of a Belgium wheat beer.  And it has that same light, fresh, zesty citrus note - with a bit of a berry twist.  It even has a beer bottle pop top.  But it is indeed from grapes - don’t ask me which ones.  This is one of the rare cases where I don’t know – and I really don’t care!  It just tastes good.

Featured Wine: SUPERBOWL SUGGESTION: Our $100 Party Case

We've managed to put together a party pack for $100 (or $108.88 when including tax.)  That's 12 bottles.  A full case.  6 red.  6 white.

Red: Cono Sur Pinot Noir (Central Valley, Chile)
White: J. Mourat Collection Blanc (Loire Valley, France)

Both wines are tasty crowd pleasers that can stand on their own or pair with a variety of Superbowl party foods.  Like pizza.  And wings.  And seven-layer dip.

Each pack amounts to about 60 drinks depending on the cup size (of your glasses, not your guests....Sorry, couldn't resist.)  It's a lot of good wine at a great price.

Featured Wine: SUPERBOWL SUGGESTION: A Box of Something Good

boxes.JPG

Don't fear the box. There's nothing inherent about a wine box (actully, it's a wine bag inside a box) that requires it be filled with not-so-good wine. These days, we're seeing more and more great wine boxes.  They're filled with good wines - good enough to put in a bottle - that just happen to come in a box.

This year, Frankly Wines offer's four different 3-Liter box wines.  Each is the equivilent of 4 bottles,with a handy, built-in tap. It's like a keg - but with wine.

Quliaty and quantity in one smart package.

Fancy Pants Wine: WINE RESOLUTION: Go BIG!

Aged Bordeaux - in Large Format Magnums

meyney - small.jpgChateau Meyney Cru Bourgeois St Estephe 1990 Magnum 
(St Estephe, Bordeaux, France)

A splurge-worthy treat for fans of traditional, aged Bordeaux. This "lowly" Cru Boureois is considered a Bordeaux bargain by those who know such things.  It's a splurge, but at twice the size of a regular bottle, it's twice as well worth it!

Price: $159.99

Featured Wine: Bye Bye Bottles: The Last of the Collection

j mourat - wide.jpgThe last 11 cases and 7 bottles of the J. Mourat Collection Blanc arrived at Frankly Wines.  The importer who brought this wine over from France is no longer importing. Maybe a casualty of the economy, or maybe just proof that living the dream isn’t as dreamy as it looks.

Featured Wine: Wines You Never Knew You Needed: Gemischter Satz

GS - big.jpgWhat?  Never heard of Gemischter Satz wines?  Neither had we, until this summer, when Mr. Carlos Huber showed up at our shop.  Well, he didn’t just show up, he did have an appointment.  And in his wine bag, he had a range of tasty Gemischter Satz wines from Vienna.

In this week's New York Times, Eric Asimov let's the GS cat out of the bag.  Or the Viennese pastry out of the pantry.  Or something like that.

We stock one of these lovely wines: Weinbau Jutta Ambrositsch Wiener Gemischter Satz Sommeregg Reserve 2008.  Click more to read all about it.

3 Pack: WINE RESOLUTION: Explore Wine Evolutionary Theory

Now & Later Rioja 3-Pack

rioja.jpg

We love the idea of buying bottles in multiples  One for drinking now…one for later…one for even later.  It’s a great way to experience how a wine evolves over time.  This 3-Pack makes it easy by bringing together three bottles of Bodegas Riojanas Monte Real Reserve 2003. 


Pack includes 3 bottles of: Bodegas Riojanas Monte Real Reserva 2003

3 Pack: WINE RESOLUTION: Explore Wine Evolutionary Theory

Now & Then Chianti 2-Pack chianti.jpg

We think this 2-Pack is extremely cool. Two bottles. Same region (Chianti.) Same grape (Sangiovese.) Same producer (Castell'In Villa.) But one bottle is from 2005 and one is from 1996. See what a difference 13 years can make.


Pack includes:

Castell'In Villa Chianti Classico 1996
Castell'In Villa Chianti Classico 2005

Price: $44.99

3 Pack: WINE RESOLUTION: Try a Side-by-Side Comparison

Old World/New World 2-Pack - Bordeaux Blend

old world bordeaux - web.jpgSouth Africa is turning out some of the best Bordeaux-style blends we've come across (outside of Bordeaux of course.) A huge hit last year, this pack pairs a St Emillion from Bordeaux's right bank with a similar blend from a top South African producer.

Pack includes:

Chateau Beau Vallon, (Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France)
De Toren Z (Stellenbosch, South Africa)

Price: $47.99

Old World/New World 2-Pack - Rhone Blend

old new rhone - web.jpgThe same grapes, Syrah (aka Shiraz) + Grenache, result in two wildly different wines. We've paired a classic Cotes du Rhone (dark fruit, earth, whiffs of black pepper) with an equally classic blend from Mclaren Vale, Australia (lush, opulent cherry/berry fruits, sweet spice.) Can't decide which you like more? That's OK, we won't tell.

Pack includes:

Bernard Latour Domaine de L'Espigoutte (Cotes du Rhone, France)
Slipstream (McLaren Vale, Australia)

Price: $33.99

Old World/NewWorld 2-Pack - Chardonnay

old new chardonnay - web.jpgIt's become increasingly fashionable to declare a disdain for Chardonnay. But before you let your friends (or yourself) completely write the grape off, this 2-Pack should be mandatory drinking. It features two classics: a creamy (but very well-balanced) California version and a crisp, fresh version from the Macon region of France.

Pack includes:

Le Bourcier “Cuveé Elena” (Macon, Burgundy, France)
Sebastiani Chardonnay (Sonoma, California)

Price: $23.99

Old World/New World 2-Pack - Malbec

old new malbec - web.jpgThe Malbec grape and Argentina are proving to be one of the wine world's great matches. But many people don't realize the grape first found its home in France, where it's still grown in the Cahors region.

The winner in this classic old school vs. new school challenge? We bet on "both."

Pack includes:

Cedrus (Cahors, France)
Nieto Senetiner Reserva Malbec (Mendoza, Argentina)

Price: $22.99

Fancy Pants Wine: Beautiful Burg #1

Good white Burgundy is a beautiful thing. It's Chardonnay at its best (yes, that same Chardonnay that so many people love to hate.) If you're looking for a special bottle to serve with dinner, give as a gift, or sock away for future drinking, these three options have our approval.

Burgundy 2.jpgHubert Lamy Chassagne 1er Cru "Les Macherelles" 2006
A name to watch, Oliver Lamy (son of Hubert) turns out Burgs that are the definition of pure, intense, focused, and minerally.  Lovely now.  Even better later.

Price: $69.99

Fancy Pants Wine: Beautiful Burg #2


Burgundy 3.jpgJean-Philippe Fichet Meursault "Le Tesson" 2006
 One of our favorite Burgundy producers, Fichet wines run cirlcles around many wines from more prestigious vineyard sites.  A magic combination of lightness and weight, minerals and nuts, and the classic Mersault note of lemon oil.  Truly gorgeous.

Price: $72.99
