11:00 AM FLASH SALE IS LIVE: The Sommelier’s Secret 4-Pack
Let’s talk about Petite Arvine! It is incredibly rare in California, native to the Swiss Alps, and currently the darling of top restaurant sommeliers.
If you love the searing, mineral-driven elegance of Chablis or the crisp, bone-dry profile of a great Sancerre, this wine will absolutely blow your mind. It possesses a lively freshness, beautiful Alpine acidity, and a complex, robust ripeness that is completely unique to the glass.
To help you discover this incredible grape, I am kicking off today’s flash sales with a massive, limited-time discount on a 4-pack of my Alder Springs Vineyard Petite Arvine!
2025 Alder Springs Vineyard Petite Arvine x 4
Retail Value + Shipping: $206 (Adjust if needed!)
Flash Sale Price: $125 — Shipping Included!(Adjust if needed!)
11:00 AM FLASH IS CLOSED — NEXT DROP AT 1:00 PM PST!
A huge thank you to everyone who grabbed the Petite Arvine 4-Pack! That flash sale is now officially closed. I am so excited for you all to taste this incredible Alpine-style white.
Now, let’s talk about what is next…
At exactly 1:00 PM PST, I will be dropping our second flash sale of the day, and it is an absolute heavy hitter.
Hint for the 1:00 PM Drop: This flash will feature my absolute favorite bright, food-friendly reds for everyday enjoyment. These specific wines boast some serious culinary credentials—they are currently being poured at Tokyo’s 3-star Michelin restaurant, L’Effervescence, and Berkeley’s legendary birthplace of farm-to-table dining, Chez Panisse.
I will be offering a very special, deep discount on a half-case of these world-class gastronomic reds, but the window will be short!
Set your alarms and see you back here at 1:00 PM PST sharp!

I was just about to close the Super Omakase deal, but I’ve decided to add an extra 6 sets for all my amazing Six Cloves fans—enjoy them while they last this evening!
Thanks @GeorgeS for grabbing Omakase! This year’s VD is pretty quite, which may have a lot to do with people watching the World Cup soccer games But it is always pleasant to get to meet new Berserkers like you. Cheers!
I have no room for wine, but I couldn’t help myself from trying out at least one new winery (and some new varietals) for Vindependence, and excited to try out Six Cloves! Went with one of the sommelier secret 4 packs and the super omakase. Excited to see what they are! Thank you for the offers.
