2023 Clos St. Magdeleine Cassis Blanc Bel-Arme (750ml)
Ihaven’t experienced deep winter on the Mediterranean coast, but if I had to guess, I imagine it’s similar to what we experience here in Berkeley—clear blue skies and brisk air, some rain and fog, and the occasional frost or dusting of snow on the coast mountain peaks. (I can imagine eyes rolling in the Midwest and Northeast.) Due to an extended aging on the lees, the Bel-Arme has the added depth and roundness for a bracing winter day. With a touch of creaminess following the crisp stone fruit, it’s a Mediterranean white in a cashmere sweater.

2024 Cuomo, Marisa - Costa d'Amalfi DOC Ravello Bianco (750ml)
2020 Eugenio Collavini- Collio DOC Broy (750ml)
The 2020 Eugenio Collavini Broy is a white blend from the Collio DOC region of Friuli, Italy, made from 50% Friulano, 30% Chardonnay, and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The Friulano and Chardonnay grapes are partially air-dried to concentrate flavor, resulting in a complex wine with rich aromas of ripe tropical and yellow fruits, honey, and floral notes. It has a powerful, full-bodied texture balanced by elegant acidity and minerality, and it pairs well with poultry, veal, seafood, and shellfish.
