The 1980’s was a gnarly time of big hair, new wave music, and colorful, loud fashion. And the wine produced during this time was a roller coaster of a time. The gospel of Bordeaux, the popularity of White Zinfandel, and the undiscovered and unrecognized wines of much of the world, the 1980s have emerged, aged, and become something more. 

Here at Benchmark, we feature the wines made during this colorful period. From the ever-present dominance of the Bordeaux vintages of 1982 and 1989, to the rise of the Napa Valley, the history of the wine world is a jouissance to experience. Whether you are having a John Hughes movie marathon or rocking out to Billy Idol on MTV, grab a bottle from Benchmark and relish this world variety of wine from the 1980s!

Cheers, and enjoy!
