Hi Everyone,
Most of you have seen my name signed at the bottom of each Oddlots offer, but few have actually met me. After 4-years running these offers, today’s will allow us to get to know each other better.
Bodega Calle has been run by my family for over 30 years, and is where I call home. Traditional, rustic Malbec is what I was raised on growing up in Mendoza, Argentina. From stomping grapes as a toddler, to running harvest in my teenage years, Malbec is what lead me to pursue a career in wine.
Our Bodega Calle’s 2021 “Alberti” Malbec Reserva is a clasically styled release from organically grown vines, with the typical red fruit/flower profile that we love in Malbec from Mendoza’s Lujan de Cuyo sub zone.
When pops told me the price I could get per case, the pricing was just too low to make any sense.
Our winery wanted to generate quick year-end cash flow, and we wanted to do it quickly. The quantity to move was high, but looking at the napkin math we could divvy this out at everyone’s favorite 1990s price point, $7.83. Yes, $7.83, nearly half the price at which we were selling this wine for 20 years ago! I should know, as I have worked for my family’s winery since then!
As an added exclamation mark, the wine is much better today than it was 20 years ago, now coming from carefully farmed organic vines.
What more can we say?
Deals like this on “real” family wine simply don’t come around very often.
Thank you for the support!
