2023 Brewer Clifton - Chardonnay Santa Rita Hills (750ml)
Shows harmony and intensity, with focused flavors of tangerine, Meyer lemon, lime and pomelo that are lovely at the core, plus aromatic notes of lemongrass, lemon thyme and oregano. A fresh thread of acidity and details of Himalayan sea salt gain momentum...
2022 Raspail-Ay - Gigondas (750ml)
The 2022 Gigondas from Domaine Raspail-Ay exhales a deep, complex bouquet of ripe cherries, flowers, dark wild berries and peonies mingled with gentle, oaky notes. Medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it has a fleshy core of fruit framed by stru...
2024 Dupeuble - Beaujolais (750ml)
Avec toutes mes amitiés Beaujolaises, “with all my Beaujolais friendship,” is how Ghislaine Dupeuble signs her emails. That detail succinctly summarizes her warmth and the essence of her family’s wines, which exude just what her signature suggests. Domaine Dupeuble is our most southern Beaujolais producer, situated in the hamlet of Le Breuil, just northwest of the food capital of Lyon. This part of the region boasts such dramatic landscapes and striking terroir that just a few years ago UNESCO declared the area a Geopark—worthy of protection for its spectacular geology. Here, Gamay grows on granite, schist, and pierres dorées, golden limestone that offers a privileged terrain for grapevines to dig deep in a way that’s wildly different from plantings in the sandier soil surrounding Villié-Morgon.
Dupeuble’s rouge is thirst-quenching and tangy with loads of violet and réglisse, aromas you might expect from fruit that grows so close to the Rhône. Enjoy it with anything from grilled sausages to homemade pizzas, herby rice and beans, or late-summer tomato salads. One glass of this simply made and easy-drinking Beaujolais will provide centuries’ worth of tradition, generosity, paysan culture, and friendship.

2024 Chateau Graville Lacoste BLANC - Graves (750ml)
Brimming with honeysuckle, lychee, and citrus, this Bordeaux blend is reliably harmonious with Eastern cuisine—sushi, dumplings, Szechuan dishes, light curries, and vermicelli bowls all jive. I sampled a glass or two with saag paneer, butter chicken, and naan and found the Graves’ acidity a refreshing foil to the meal’s garam-masala-scented richness.

2023 Gonon, Pierre & Jean - Saint-Joseph Les Oliviers Blanc (750ml)
The 2023 Saint Joseph Les Oliviers Blanc reveals a rich, layered profile of stone fruits, white flowers, almond paste, honeysuckle, and brioche. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows gorgeous depth and concentration, with a seamless, elegant textu...
2024 Marcel Lapierre - Morgon Cuvee 'N' (sans soufre) (750ml)
2022 Guigal - Cotes du Rhone (750ml)
Notes of lilac, dark cherries and flowers preface Guigal’s 2022 Côtes du Rhône, a juicy, round and elegant wine that is also remarkably dense for the vintage and represents excellent value.
2024 Jean-Marc Boillot - Puligny Montrachet (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
2023 Samuel Billaud - Chablis Sechet (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
Another brilliant wine from Samuel Billaud, and one of the most classically Chablisien in character, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Séchet Vieilles Vignes derives from 90-year-old vines, the oldest of the domaine, and is aged entirely in steel for 18 months. Op...
2023 Christian Moreau - Chablis Vaillon (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
Broad and densely textured, with flavors of peach and apple, but mostly vanilla and lanolin from the oak. This is less expressive and focused than its peers yet shows staying power, echoing the oak spice on the finish. Best from 2027 through 2037. 150 cas...
2020 Roses de Jeanne - Blanc de Noirs La Presle (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
The 2020 Blanc de Noirs Presle is quite powerful and dense this year, as evidenced by its textural richness and dark color. The wilder side of Pinot Noir comes alive in this sauvage, dense Champagne. I imagine a few years in bottle will help this come ...
2020 Roses de Jeanne - Champagne Blanc de Blancs La Haute-Lemblee (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
The 2020 Blanc de Blancs La Haute Lemblé, 100% Chardonnay, is magnificent. What else is there to say? A Champagne of soaring vertical intensity and drive, the 2020 is truly special. Lemon confit, sage, mint, white flowers and white pepper stain the pal...
2019 Roses de Jeanne - Blanc de Noirs La Presle (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
The 2019 Blanc de Noirs Presle is the ninth and penultimate rendition of this cuvée, produced from a 0.25-hectare parcel that Bouchard planted with 10 different massal selections of Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin. Wafting from the glass with aromas of ...
2020 Roses de Jeanne - Champagne Blanc de Noirs Les Ursules (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
The 2020 Blanc de Noirs Les Ursules is classy, elegant and supremely polished. Sweet floral and spice notes open first, followed by a burst of red-toned Pinot fruit. Rose petal, cinnamon, dried cherry, mint and orange peel develop, filling out the laye...
2020 Roses de Jeanne - Champagne Blanc de Blancs La Boloree (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
Cédric Bouchard’s 2020 Blanc de Blancs La Bolorée, disgorged in April 2024, is another brilliant rendition of this superb cuvée. Only a year apart from the incisive 2021 yet stylistically distinct, it offers immediate pleasure with aromas of pear, orange ...
2024 Domaine de la Folie - Rully Blanc Clos St. Jacques (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
- Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay.
- Vineyard: The wine comes from a 1.69-hectare monopole (exclusively owned) vineyard with an east-facing slope and clay-limestone soil.
- Viticulture: The vineyard is cultivated using sustainable methods, and the grapes are harvested by hand. The vines are notably old, averaging 80 to 90 years.
- Winemaking: After a gentle pressing, the wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation and aging in oak barrels, with around 20% new oak used annually
2022 Domaine de Montille - St. Aubin Remilly (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
Here the nose flirts with exoticism in the form of citrus confit and white peach along with pretty floral elements. There is fine volume to the enveloping and caressing if decidedly punchy medium-bodied flavors that flash evident minerality on the moderat...
2024 Domaine de la Folie - Rully Blanc Clos la Folie (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
2023 Joblot - Givry Cellier aux Moines (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
Here too the nose is completely dominated by pungent oak and reduction. The delicious and vibrant medium weight flavors possess a beguilingly supple, even velvety, texture that contrasts moderately with the dusty, firm, and youthfully austere bitter pit f...
2023 Joblot - Givry Servoisine (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
This is also pretty aromatically raw with a similar nose of firm reduction and wood toast. On the palate though there is again good verve and freshness to the less dense but finer middle weight flavors that exude more evident minerality on the equally fir...
2022 Simon Colin - Bourgogne Blanc (750ml) (PRE ARRIVAL)
The 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay comes from two parcels of vines around the winery in Chassagne. Scents of beeswax and green apples on the nose have a slight Germanic flair. The palate is well-balanced with satisfying depth and a rounded texture, but acidity...
