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.

Features And Specials

 

Featured Wine: SUPERBOWL SUGGESTION: Beer-ish Wine


Donati Camillo Malvasia Dolce Frissante 2010 (Emilia Romagna, Italy):

donati - full.jpgThis wine comes off  like a crazy cross between cider, beer and cream soda. It’s considered a sparkling wine, but it’s more foamy than full on sparkling. And yes, we have to tell the truth and admit that it’s the tiniest bit sweet. But don’t be scared. Because pretty much everyone who tries this stuff likes it.  Not just likes it, but loves it. Even becomes ridiculously addicted to it. And it’s the perfect companion to salty Superbowl-type snacks.  Admit it – you’re curious. So if you’re looking for an extra push to give it a try, just use the excuse that at least someone at every Superbowl party would rather be drinking beer, so serve this as a “sort of beer-like substitute.” And then just try not to like it.

Price: $19.99

Featured Wine: SUPERBOWL SUGGESTION: Super-Duper Sauvignon Blanc

supernatural.jpg
And Co. Ltd Supernatural Sauvignon Blanc 2009 (Hawkes Bay, New Zealand):

Super natural ‘natural wine’ for a super-duper Super Bowl. This is not your usual New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. To start, it’s from Hawkes Bay, which is further north and a bit warmer than Marlborough, home to most NZ Sauvies. Even more unusual, winemaker Gabrielle Simmers starts with organically grown grapes, makes no use of commercial yeasts, and makes minimal sulfite additions only at bottling. The result is richer, more opulent, and I’ll go ahead and say it…more complex than most. It’s super!

Featured Wine: SUPERBOWL SUGGESTION: Pink "Beer"


mosse.jpgRene Mosse Moussamoussettes Vin de Table Rose Perlant
(Anjou, Loire, 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. And it will play nicely with spicy things, like wings.

Price: $19.99

Fancy Pants Wine: SUPERBOWL SUGGESTION: Bubbles… In Case They Win


cork.jpgJust in case the game goes your way, it’s best to have some bubbles on hand to celebrate.

Go to our WINES page, select SPARKLING from the pull down menu, and hit the search button to see the full line-up.

Spirits : SUPERBOWL SUGGESTIONS: Strong Stuff….In Case They Lose


spirits - small.jpgAccording to the internet, Napoleon recommends drinking Champagne in victory and defeat. While we’re big believers in this philosophy (even if Napoleon didn't really say this), you may decide you need to have something a little stronger on hand. We can oblige. Check out our spirits offerings here.

Spirits : SUPERBOWL SUGGESTIONS: Distilled Beer


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

We can’t sell you beer. But we can sell you distilled beer. Which is really a whiskey that uses the Hitachino Nest White Ale as its base. It’s distilled and infused with orange peel and coriander, resulting in a light, floral, subtly aromatic whiskey. And the bottle is really cool too.

Price: $18.37 (that’s a straight $20 with tax)

Spirits : SUPERBOWL SUGGESTIONS: Distilled Beer


Aecht Rauchbier.jpgHeller-Trum Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbierspirit (80 Proof) (Bamberg, Germany):

 Distilled Rauchbier, which is a style of German beer that has a distinct smoky flavor which comes from using malted barley which is dried over an open flame. From Schlenkerla, one of the best known Rauchbier producers, this is a distilled Rauchbier which is then smoked again post-distillation, imparting an extra smokey flavor reminiscent of sitting alongside a campfire. It is not inexpensive, but a fantastic and super interesting product for any whiskey fan. Also quite rare, with only 24 bottles total brought into the New York market until mid-2012. We have 2 of them.

Price: $119.99

big bottle.jpg

It’s simple math. Big Games = Big Parties. And Big Parties call for Big Bottles. And we have plenty of big bottles.

Here’s the scoop:

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

Featured Wine: MYSTERY BOTTLE BAGS: Las Vegas in a Bag

mystery - 4 multi.jpgEveryone loves a surprise.
And everyone loves a bargain.
Our Mystery Bottle Bags combine both.

Give us a $20 (that includes tax) and we’ll give you a bottle of something you’re probably not expecting. It’s sort of like Las Vegas in a bag – sometimes you’ll wine a little, sometimes you’ll lose a little – and sometimes you’ll hit the jackpot! On average, you’ll get more than you paid for.

Each bottle includes a brief tasting not so you’ll know what you’re about to open. We’ll also let you know the bottle’s original price – so you’ll know just how well you fared in our version of wine roulette. 

And feel free to go nuts and pick up multiples – we have a secret code to avoid repeat bottles.

Price: $18.37 ($20 including tax)

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

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.

Price: $24.99

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
