If you’ve caught a stream before, you know that around here, spitters are quitters. Agent Cru will once again put his liver on the line, and you’ll have a front-row seat to the descent into chaos — plus access to loads of incredible deals.

THE MANIFEST

Over 60 wines will be unleashed over the course of the day. Our buyers have been scouring the globe for exclusive deals to mix in with old favorites. Did I spot some Kapcsándy in there?!

Real-time heists in broad daylight — Napa to Bordeaux, Mendoza to Montalcino, Rioja to the Rhône and beyond. A first look at what’s in the vault:

Dominus • Bruno Giacosa • Almaviva • Léoville Las Cases • Schrader • Poggio di Sotto

…and was that a DRC tucked behind the SQN and Harlan? You didn’t hear it from us.

FIELD AGENTS

Agent Cru has the helm — but he won’t be flying solo. A few industry field Agents are dropping in to pour, talk shop, and help keep him upright:

• Aaron Pott — Pott Wine • Michelle Shafrir — Miner Family Wines • Alison Smith Story — Smith Story Wine Cellars
