Over the past decade Spanish wine has exploded in popularity, and there is no end to the excitement in sight. Spain is a large country with a seemingly limitless potential when it comes to undiscovered wine regions and producers.  There is a staggering variety of great wines coming out of Spain, from aromatic whites such as Albarino in the cool northwest region of Rias Biaxas, to the ripe and spicy Monastrell-based wines from the arid region of Jumilla, legendary Rioja wines made from the Tempranillo grape, to elegant Mencia based wines from the up and coming Bierzo region.   The list of delicious wines coming out of Spain keeps growing, as does the overall quality.      Read more

April marks the return of Italian Wine Month at Marketview Liquor which is a tradition that we’ve overlooked in recent years and are very excited to bring back! Italy, one of the oldest wine producing countries in the world, is divided into roughly 20 wine regions. Piedmont, the country’s northwestern foggy region, is synonymous with Barolo and Barbaresco wines; Tuscany with Chianti; and Nero d’Avola with Sicily. For a relatively small country, Italy’s myriad of grape varieties and wine styles is as exhilarating as any in the world, and Marketview Liquor has one of the largest Italian wine selections in the country! Celebrate with us! Come to Marketview Liquor during the month of April and explore some of the...   Read more

Originally from upstate New York, Paul Hobbs made his name working for some of California’s most esteemed producers before starting his own eponymous winery over twenty years ago. While his California wines have gained an almost legendary status amongst wine drinkers, Hobbs has also set his sights on making world-class Argentinean wines.  Over a decade ago Hobbs founded Vina Cobos, and has since developed an import company that includes several other Argentinean wineries for whom he works as consulting winemaker.  Vina Cobos produces wines in three levels, the Cobos, the Bramare, and the Felino series – all the wines provide amazing value in their respective price-points, and show the classic Hobbs imprint...   Read more

Revered wine critic Robert Parker basically made his name by getting behind the legendary 1982 Bordeaux vintage, when other critics were unsure at the time of its quality.  Ever since, Parker has basically had the last word when it comes to Bordeaux, and he has got an awful lot to say when it comes to the 2009 vintage.  Parker states that 2009 “may turn out to be the finest vintage I have tasted in 32 years of covering Bordeaux.” Many winemakers agree that it may be the best harvest they have ever seen, a year when Mother Nature smiled upon most every region of France and gave vignerons a balanced, healthy, and beautiful crop to work with.  With a warm summer and sunshine all through September, Bordeaux...   Read more

Spain has been the hippest country in the wine world for years now, and with young winemakers discovering old vineyards on a regular basis, the excitement is not about to stop.  Recently, the most exciting red grape to rise from the dust is Mencia, from the Bierzo region in the northwest part of the country.  On the lighter, more aromatic side, the grape was once thought to be an ancient clone to Cabernet Franc.  In a recent Food & Wine feature, the magazine suggests Mencia as a wonderful alternative to Pinot Noir, calling it “The grape for the person who loves Sonoma Coast Pinot's fresh berry notes.  Bierzo’s seriously old vines and slate and granite soils that give the wines balance and...   Read more

This week we're featuring two fantastic highly rated reds that we have recently heavily stocked up on.  Due to the excess of inventory we currently have, we will be offering free shipping on these two wines for a limited time only.

In our Weekly Spotlight Episode: 41 above, Mike and Tom also discuss their frustrations with certain wine descriptors...   Read more

Wine and cheese are seen as some of the most perfect pairings in the world of food and wine.  While there are some tried and true classics, Stilton and Port for example, you should pair the two as you would pair any wine and food, with personal preference considered first.  "Proper" pairings can be dictated, but if you're not a fan of the wine or the cheese, how can this be a good pairing for your particular palate?  Choose items that you enjoy the flavors and textures of, and then try to use a common sense approach towards pairing the two.  Does it logically make sense to pair a huge, oaky, tannic Cabernet Sauvignon with a delicate and floral cheese? Probably not.  A fruit forward, light-bodied...   Read more

  While we would never go as far as to follow the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) movement, it appears that more white wines with higher acidity, more minerality, and little-to-no oak influence are steadily gaining in popularity.  We believe that wine drinkers will continue in this direction in 2012, and that we will see Spanish whites such as Albarino, Verdejo, and Godello continue to gain in recognition, and for the sales of remarkable German Riesling to finally catch up with their legendary reputation.
