When they’re on target, Sonoma Zinfandels have a decidedly distinctive regional character. Dry Creek Zin can be brambly and a bit peppery. The cooler climate Russian River Valley often displays red berry fruit and a mildly floral tone. Gamba’s 2023 captures those elements beautifully.
Don’t miss it, especially at our sale price.

We particularly appreciate complex wines that not only have something to say, but do so in a most eloquent fashion. Made by a young vigneron who’s the 13th generation of a famous wine family, Pierre Girardin is already in an elite camp of top winemakers.

It’s rare that a wine made of Lodi-grown grapes makes the cut at Weimax, but here’s a good example of both the region and the rare Cinsault variety. Medium-bodied and along the lines of a youthful Gamay or Pinot Noir, this is an ideal red for a backyard barbecue. $36 at the winery, but we offer it for just $23.

A number of enlightened vintners were not fans of the Consortium which in the dark ages required a percentage of Trebbiano and Malvasia (white grapes) for a wine to be labeled as Chianti Classico. Only in 1996 did those requirements change. The 2022 Montevertine is a remarkable example of grand Tuscan winemaking. We are pleased to have a few bottles presently. And they still are not members of the Chianti Classico Consorzio.

We’ve typically had good Sancerre from old-timer Etienne Daulny since the early 2000s. It’s a small estate of 15 hectares of vines and these days, with the popularity of Sancerre, it’s not always in stock. A new shipment of Etienne’s well-priced bottles landed recently.

Capovilla is a reference point for Grappa, making tiny quantities of fabulous spirits with no shortcuts or shenanigans. His are elegant digestifs of surprising finesse. Hard to find in Europe, you’ll find several of them here in Burlingame.

People selling new wine often describe these as being reminiscent of famous or well-known bottles or vintages. The term “baby ###” is used when the new wine is in their spotlight. So we will simply say this comes from vineyards which will soon produce Barolo from a hugely prestigious cru.

When evaluating wines for a placement at Weimax, we often ask vintners what grape variety is in their Syrah bottles. That’s because we often find the wines to lack varietal character as they are merely “red wine.”
This California rendition positively sings, as the Syrah aromas and flavors are unmistakable. Far more noble than many GSM wines, come get a bottle of Pax Cuvée Syrah.
