Thank you Operatives, for your trust and support!

Our secret “find” that 2019 Connell sold out much, much faster than anticipated.

Thankfully, they are letting us have at the 2018 next AT THE SAME PRICE, albeit there’s much less of it.

Same everything…

“Succulence, tenderness, and flavorful moisture….” This could describe the wine OR describe the perfect steak you’ll be buying with the $50 you’ll be saving on this EPIC score!

Connell Family Vineyards is as real as it gets. And 67% OFF is as steep as the discounts come for a $75 wine of this caliber.

We are proud to bring these small and hands-on family wineries straight to your front door, dear Operative. If you’re smart (and fast) enough to jump in, that is.

Jim Connell came to California Wine Country from New Jersey and slowly but surely made a name for himself in the world of wine. His resume includes running some of our personal favorites of the wine scene: Domaine Chandon, Bonny Doon, Medlock Ames, and Quivira. All the while, he was building his own property and planting a vineyard in Chalk Hill.

After years of working for others, he cut bait and focused on his own 1,500 vines! At 800 feet elevation, the vineyard is a bit cooler than its neighboring Alexander Valley or Calistoga appellations. This is why Vérité, Medlock Ames, Stuhlmuller, and Lancaster Estate are all within a stone’s throw away. The grapes from this corner of Chalk Hill produce elegant and bold flavors that his former employers would have died to be able to replicate.

And at today’s price, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything from his resume to compare. At $25, this is an outrageous deal that we’re happy to put in front of you!

Drinks even silkier than the 2019, as 2018 was a bit cooler a year, yet with the same richness, depth, and complexity. Exact same heads up again, even more important with less to get around… DO NOT DELAY.
