2026 Midsummer Marathon

6/24/2026. 9AM PST.

It’s time for every Operative’s favorite event: THE MARATHON. Today we’re kicking off our first ever Midsummer Marathon — and as always, we’re DOING IT LIVE.

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:

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

Do you like good wine? What about massive discounts? Buckle up because I’m about to tell you about Wine Spies.

Every day they feature one incredible wine at a head spinning price. We’re talking big gun Napa Cabernet, rarely seen imports from Italy and France, and tasty discoveries from tiny boutique producers you’ve never heard of.

And best of all, you can check out with as little as one bottle and when you use their Locker feature which lets you build a case over time.
