2023 Frecciarossa - Oltrepo Pavese DOC Sillery Pinot Nero Bianco (750ml)
NV Gai'a - Roditis Peloponnese Retsina Ritinitis Nobilis
At the very end of a long tasting, winemaker Leto Paraskevopoulos offered me a small glass of the Gai'a NV Nemea Ritinitis Nobilis, and the effect was brilliant. The wine refreshed and immediately reset my palate. This is a "redefined" Retsina, or a wine ...
2021 Garofoli - Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Podium (750ml)
The 2021 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Podium is delicate and coy, requiring coaxing to release its pretty bouquet of young peach, raw almonds and sweet smoke. This is elegant, with textures of pure silky and admirable weight, yet maintains marvelous...
2024 Giovanni Almondo - Roero DOCG Arneis Bricco Ciliegie (750ml)
The 2024 Bricco delle Ciliegie is an absolute delight. Tangerine peel, marzipan, pear, dried flowers and chamomile are front and center. In 2023, Bricco delle Ciliegie is a bit exotic and perhaps also a touch more open than it can be, both of which make i...
2021 Girolamo Russo - Etna Bianco DOC Nerina
Inviting aromas of lemon peel, wet stone and white tea. Medium-to full-bodied with a lovely, silky texture. Even-keeled and bright with a mineral backbone that adds complexity to the citrus palate. A charmer. Drink now.
NV Hild Elbling Brut (750ml)
The Obermosel: no story is told, untile someone tells it
The Upper Mosel has nothing to do with Riesling and nothing to do with slate. Instead, we find limestone. The Upper Mosel in fact represents the beginning (or the end?) of the Paris Basin, the geological reality that informs places like Chablis and Sancerre. Instead of Riesling, in the Upper Mosel we find a winemaking culture based on one of Europe’s oldest grapes: Elbling. It’s important to understand that Elbling here feels like something of a religion. It’s a culture, a regional dialect that is spoken through this wine of rigorous purity, of joyous simplicity, of toothsome acidity. The joy of Elbling is the uncompromising vigor and energy, the raucous and super-chalky acidity. Matthias Hild, who farms about six hectares in the sleepy town of Wincheringen, told me that back in the 1980s, when he’d have an Elbling clock in at less than 8.5 grams acid, he’d taste it and question if it was Elbling at all. Which is sort of like saying you’re not sure the music is loud enough because your ears aren’t bleeding.
Vines for the Sekt are from within 4km of Wincheringen. After harvest the Sekt goes through a 21-day cold fermentation in stainless steel. After malolactic fermentation the wine is stored on it’s lees for 9-18 months until disgorgment. Dosage is 10-12g/L.

2023 Hirtzberger Gruner Veltliner Honivogl Smaragd (750ml)
The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Honivogl was harvested partly in the loess-dominated Axpoint vineyard, with the majority coming from the rockier foot of the Singerriedel site. Alluring fruit on the nose combines juicy yellow apple, freshest green pea...
2022 Huet - Vouvray Clos Bourg Demi Sec
The 2022 Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec is round and appealing, akin to a cozy night in with your slippers on; there's flesh and succulence, but it retains its shape and a sense of lightness on its feet. The ripeness of white stone fruit reminds me of nectarin...
2022 Huet - Vouvray Le Mont Demi Sec
The 2022 Le Mont Demi-Sec is less fruity and charming than, say, Clos du Bourg; its tension and line come from its flinty terroir. Despite its 21g/L residual sugar, it retains a sense of tautness without being totally linear. Radish and pear notes ling...
