Mission Codename BB3
Fresh new lows!
Not exactly the headline you want when it comes to the stock market, your favorite team’s box score or your mental health.
But that’s not what we’re talking about here.
Today it’s the price on a bottle of one of Napa’s finest “seconds” - Buccella’s Mica.
For $10 lower than you’ve ever seen around these parts.
If you’ve been on the fence about getting some, or just need a fresh restock now is the time. You’ll have enough change left to get a dozen eggs (or maybe a half dozen, if you can even find them).
“Buccella has swiftly become a top Napa Valley Cabernet producer… an icon, Celia Welch makes some of the most sought-after wines, known for big, intense, classic Napa Cabs for clients like Scarecrow, which has a waiting list for the waiting list.” – Food & Wine
A coup of EPIC proportions. We’ve sold these in the past, and the people go HAM for this stuff. It’s culty, wicked tasty, and frankly, we’re thrilled to drop the price on it today to all new lows. You know it will FLY!
Scout around and you’ll find this for $120-150 at most other places. Today we’re turning it loose for a record-scratching, neck-snapping OVER HALF OFF the winery release price. BY FAR the lowest you’ll see anywhere today, tomorrow, or looping along the spacetime continuum.
For those who know, this is the “baby Buccella.” Some of you are old enough to remember when Buccella hit the scene 20 years ago. An OG cult wine that sells for $250 and up today. They rose to fame first with Mark Herold, then Celia Welch and remain a pillar of the modern Napa Valley scene, initially lauded as “Sexy, Pomerol-styled reds that bring to mind the brilliant Hundred Acre from Jayson Woodbridge… Kudos to proprietors Bill and Alicia Dean for such an impressive beginning.”
And the praise continued rolling in for the next two decades.
Today Celia still consults on the project but has another 100-pt winemaking star taking the lead - Landon Donley. A Master Sommelier, with tenure at Trinchero, past roles at Spottswoode and Mollydooker. He’s a rising star in his own right and did everything right with this wine.
Anywho… the WINE!
DECADENT. Opulent. Watch where you’re walking as you taste ‘cause your eyes will roll back into your head in pure ecstasy. Crushed blackberry, mocha latte, sweet pipe tobacco, violets, and crème de cassis just FLOWING. Wide, deep, and polished with signature toasty oak and a gorgeous mouthfeel. OOOWEEE!
Just a couple of dozen barrels or so made… you know the drill
