Tariff threats dominate the wine world this week as Trump’s 90-day delay creates confusion, Wine Searcher lists winners and losers, and Canada’s ban on U.S. alcohol slams exports. We feature Joseph Phelps Vineyards, their flagship Insignia and standard Cabernet, and a spotlight on Don Melchor 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile—plus a review of fine dining at Le Cirque in Las Vegas.
It’s a premium week all around, but don’t miss our wine of the week pick: a critically acclaimed 2021 Cab that lives up to the Wine Spectator hype.

Since the tariffs are only on the actual cost of goods and not the msrp that means, if the tariffs stay at 10%, a $100 bottle in the store would only get around a $2 tariff. That $2 will be eaten up by the importer and distributors. As a customer we might see 25 cent increase on a $100 bottle.
