Rhone
3 bottles(s) of Andre Francois 2020 Condrieu La Maladiere for $41.99 per bottle (SKU5517) Dynamic palate that is beautifully ripe and juicy with just awesome complexity. Huge pear and peach that is all kinds of juicy. Super intense honeysuckle mineral finish with terrific sap and freshness.
1 bottles(s) of Bernard Gripa 2019 St. Peray Les Pins for $32.99 per bottle (SKU5761) More Marsanne-dominated, the 2019 Saint-Péray Les Pins is a slightly larger production cuvée that has delivered the goods in every vintage Ive tasted. – 92 Ponts Jeb Dunnuck
4 bottles(s) of Cave Sebastien Blachon 2021 St. Joseph Blanc Isaline for $44.99 per bottle (SKU5159)
3 bottles(s) of Christophe Billon 2022 Condrieu Les Matisses for $44.99 per bottle (SKU5476)
7 bottles(s) of Domaine de la Cote St Epine 2022 St Joseph Blanc Cuvee Elegance for $26.99 per bottle (SKU5664)
2 bottles(s) of Domaine des Breseyme 2021 Cotes du Rhone Brezeme Blanc for $38.99 per bottle (SKU5023) I love this wine and am so happy it exists to scratch my Vigonier/Marsanne itch. Its more Viognier than Marsanne as we are more south now at 70/30 and the wine is damn near magic. This is very singular wine that will age for a long time and has a beguiling, mysterious quality to it.
5 bottles(s) of Domaine des Pierres Seches 2021 St. Joseph Blanc for $31.99 per bottle (SKU5457) This is 100% Roussanne, and as many of you know this is a category I have been screaming about from the rooftops as it is neglected category and offers a great alternative to white burg and Riesling.
8 bottles(s) of Domaine du Tunnel 2021 St. Peray Cuvee Roussanne (5376) for $49.99 per bottle (SKU5376) It is incredibly rare to have a pure Roussanne in the Northern Rhone. And to have that wine made by the brilliant Stephane Robert, at the height of his powers, is indeed a treat. Even though St. Peray is south of Hermitage it has a more northerly quality than Hermitage. Hermitage Blanc is fatter and more decadent. St. Peray is always awash in minerals and may be the most mineral of the White Rhone
2 bottles(s) of Domaine du Tunnel 2022 St. Peray Pur Blanc for $92.99 per bottle (SKU5602)
1 bottles(s) of Domaine du Tunnel 2022 St. Peray Cuvee Roussanne for $59.99 per bottle (SKU5671) Gorgeous tropical fruits, honeyed peach, and toasted spice notes all emerge from the 2020 Saint-Péray Roussanne. This medium to full-bodied beauty has a dense, rich mid-palate, beautiful freshness, and a great finish. – 94 points, Jeb Dunnuck, 2020 Vintage
1 bottles(s) of Guillaume Gilles 2022 St. Peray for $57.99 per bottle (SKU5852) This is a blend of 67% Marsanne and 33% Roussanne from many massale, hand grafted vines. Usually the blend is 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne due to low Roussanne yields.
8 bottles(s) of Jacques Lemenicier 2022 St. Peray Cuvee Elegance for $41.99 per bottle (SKU5864) This sees 1/3 new wood and is as ambitious a St. Peray as Ive ever tasted. Its 50% Marsanne and 50% Roussanne and some of the Marsanne is from the 1930s. 90+ years old.
2 bottles(s) of Jean-Francois Jacouton 2019 St. Joseph Blanc Souvenir dAndre for $28.99 per bottle (SKU4170) Slightly reductive yet certainly attractive notes of mineral-laced citrus, sappy flowers, herbs, and some honeysuckle emerge from the 2019 Saint Joseph Souvenirs DAndre Blanc, which shows the classic, fresher, vibrant and focused style of this estate nicely. This cuvée is equal parts Marsanne and Roussanne, vinified and aged in once-used barrels. – 90 Points Jeb Dunuck
3 bottles(s) of Julien Barge 2021 St. Joseph Blanc for $43.99 per bottle (SKU5621) This This when gets better and better every vintage and out of all the St. Joseph Blancs we work with this drinks the best young and also ages without a problem.
4 bottles(s) of Maison Alexandrins 2021 Hermitage Blanc for $67.99 per bottle (SKU5067) This is from Les Roucoles and Maison Blanche. That is some tip top terroir. I mean top top. The price for this wine cannot be beat. Its like drinking Montrachet. It has that level of aristocratic grace.
15 bottles(s) of Maison Stephan 2022 Le Grand Blanc VDF for $39.99 per bottle (SKU5648) The best VDF white I have ever had and has that Stephan magic. Like a St. Peray crossed with an Hermitage.
8 bottles(s) of Mikael Bourg 2021 St. Peray for $44.99 per bottle (SKU5449) Its a masculine and very structured St. Peray. Classic and traditional with some nice gras, fat and opulence but also intriguing granite-like minerality.

Loire
1 bottles(s) of Chateau depire 2019 Savennieres LHue Boyau for $43.99 per bottle (SKU5456)
5 bottles(s) of Domaine Clos de lEcotard 2021 Saumur Blanc Les Pentes des Clos de lEcotard for $69.99 per bottle (SKU5371) What a wine. Another one of those wines where the limits of human vocabulary will make it tough on me to describe what a wine this is. It is for me simply a work of art.
22 bottles(s) of Domaine Clos de lEcotard 2020 Saumur Blanc Les Pentes des Clos de lEcotard for $69.99 per bottle (SKU4919) What a wine. Another one of those wines where the limits of human vocabulary will make it tough on me to describe what a wine this is. It is for me simply a work of art. Its one of those wines that when you taste it, that sets off a sensory experience that is almost unique to this wine as it is hard to compare it to many other wines.
3 bottles(s) of Domaine Clos de lEcotard 2020 Saumur Blanc for $40.99 per bottle (SKU4918) The wine has a density only that is offered in the best vintages by the top winemakers. But whats amazing is the sense of zen and calmness to this wine. It is the perfect size and shape for Chenin
3 bottles(s) of Domaine des Roches Neuves 2021 Clos Romans for $79.99 per bottle (SKU5469)
2 bottles(s) of Domaine des Roches Neuves 2022 Clos de lEchelier Blanc for $71.99 per bottle (SKU5641) This is in the same walled vineyard as Clos Romans and Thierry believes that in a few more vintages, will surpass Clos Romans in quality. I think in 2022 they might be equal.

Burgundy
3 bottles(s) of Chavy-Chouet 2021 Bourgogne Blanc Les Femelottes (5154) for $31.99 per bottle (SKU5154)
2 bottles(s) of Chavy-Chouet 2022 Bourgogne Blanc Les Femelottes for $32.99 per bottle (SKU5690) This wine definitely has the spirit, finesse and precision of a Puligny if not the depth. It’s so good and blind one would think this is a Puligny.
7 bottles(s) of Chavy-Chouet 2021 Bourgogne Blanc Les Sausottes (5153) for $31.99 per bottle (SKU5153)
4 bottles(s) of JanotBos 2020 Bourgogne Blanc Cuvee Philis for $31.99 per bottle (SKU5272)
12 bottles(s) of JJ Morel 2018 Bourgogne Blanc for $29.99 per bottle (SKU3688) Its not a particularly complex wine but it has more soul than a shoestore.

Italy
4 bottles(s) of Contini 1997 Vernaccia di Oristano Riserva for $49.99 per bottle (SKU5502) A Genius Wine of the Highest Degree. Dizzying and Complex Nose that Defies Its Age. Palate: Complex and Concentrated – Wake You Up Acidity
14 bottles(s) of Vini Chiussima 2021 Erbaluce Pajarin for $23.99 per bottle (SKU5245) This is a stunning value but it has barely any fruit. Be warned. But its so well made and has just profound mineralIty. Its just glorious.

Switzerland
6 bottles(s) of Daniel And Monika Marugg 2021 Chardonnay for $38.99 per bottle (SKU5675) Dead Ringer for 1er Cru Puligny. One of Our Best Under $40 Chardonnay Offers Ever. Negociant Village Puligny Is Pushing $100

1 bottles(s) of Pircher 2021 Pinot Gris for $37.99 per bottle (SKU5713) Yeah, its pinot gris. But its fantastic. We all know that great pinot gris can be amazing (ask Ziereisen lovers) but it doesnt get much love becuase theres so much mediocre pinot gris out there.
6 bottles(s) of Weingut Familie Hansruedi Adank 2022 Chardonnay Graubunden for $52.99 per bottle (SKU5569) The purity.The weight without density.The ridiculously luscious fruit. The turn the volume up to 11 aromatics.The just plain magic factor
1 bottles(s) of Weingut Riehen 2019 LE PETIT Blanc for $39.99 per bottle (SKU5341) First, this wine is NOT tropical like most sauvignon blanc. There is a particular technique in the winemaking that reduces the tropical flavors and results in this precise, citrus and mineral character.

Chablis
12 bottles(s) of Domaine dAir 2015 Chablis for $24.99 per bottle (SKU5385) Nose is so clean and fresh. Some minerals. Green apple. Delicious fruit and minerality on the paalte. Has the acidity to age for another decade. Very, very good basic Chablis.
2 bottles(s) of Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix 2011 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons for $45.99 per bottle (SKU5872) 2010 is a vintage that should make any Chablis lover have a Pavlovian response and their ears will perk up and their salivary glands will start salivating.

Savoie
10 bottles(s) of Domaine des Rutissons 2020 M. Leblanc for $26.90 per bottle (SKU3998) A wonderful quirky white blend from Rutissons!
4 bottles(s) of Domaine des Rutissons 2021 Verdesse IGP for $29.99 per bottle (SKU5367) I adore this grape and I know once you all taste this you all will as well. Its brilliant and so new and so unique. Like Chenin crossed with Jacquere but has thrilling cooling Alpine character.
1 bottles(s) of Gilles Berlioz 2020 Chignin Bergeron Les Christine (4600) for $96.99 per bottle (SKU4600) This is the best wine Ive tasted from Gilles. Easy. It is pricey for a Savoie wine (and through 3 tier it would cost $165+) but think of this not as a Savoie wine but one of the worlds great white wines, comparable to a great white Burgundy or a top Northern Rhone white.

Germany
2 bottles(s) of Dr Wehrheim 2017 Weissburgunder Mandelberg GG for $58.99 per bottle (SKU5483) Compared to many high-end German pinot blancs of the 2017 vintage, this is cool, fresh and delicate with lots of fresh-nut character. Very graceful and elegant palate and a seriously long and fine finish. Drink or hold. – 95 Points Pigott
6 bottles(s) of Dr Wehrheim 2021 Chardonnay Roisenberg for $39.99 per bottle (SKU5506)
13 bottles(s) of Dr Wehrheim 2022 Weissburgunder Mandelberg GG for $57.99 per bottle (SKU5741) The interplay of intense chalky minerality, delicate creaminess and incredible vitality makes the finish shine like a newborn star. Great aging potential! From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. – 98 Points, Piggott
6 bottles(s) of Enderle & Moll 2021 Grauburgunder / Pinot Gris Skins for $40.99 per bottle (SKU5533) This is from 40-50 year old Grauburgunder vines in shell-limestone soil from a puny .50 ha plot. . . . . complex bouquet with a flint reduction, medicinal herbs, red fruits, spices and noble bark wood, smooth acidity and opulent volume, the gentle tannins sustain citrus and grapefruit on the palate, long ethereal and vibrant finish.
4 bottles(s) of Enderle & Moll 2021 Weißburgunder / Pinot Blanc Sphere for $40.99 per bottle (SKU5532) This is made the exact same way as the Grauburgunder except the vines are older (60-70 years) and the plot is bigger at 1.5 hectares. Harmonious and impressive wine, build to age long, even if already enjoyable.
3 bottles(s) of Enderle & Moll 2021 Muller Thurgau Pur for $20.99 per bottle (SKU4929) This is from low yielding Müller-Thurgau vines and is unfiltered and the minimum amount of sulfur is added to make the wine stable.The maceration is very long and the subsequent skin contact gives this Müller Thurgau its own touch.
3 bottles(s) of Fuerst 2021 Riesling Centgrafenberg GG for $77.99 per bottle (SKU5409) Enormously effusive aromas of spring meadow, spring blossom and white currant leap out of the glass at you. So sleek it’s only at the lower end of medium-bodied, but it’s also so vibrant and hyper-precise. I love the crystalline purity at the long diamond-bright finish. Drink or hold.- 95 Points, Piggot
8 bottles(s) of Gunther Steinmetz 2021 Wintricher Geirslay Sur Lie for $25.99 per bottle (SKU5514) In 2021 is technically a Kabinett Trocken and as we all know the strength of the 2021 vintage is the category of Kabinett.
3 bottles(s) of Gut Hermannsberg 2021 Traiser Bastei Riesling GG for $69.99 per bottle (SKU5854) Enormous concentration and energy with racy and extremely stony acidity. And the sweet fruit complements this beautifully at the very long and complete finish. From organically grown grapes with Fairn Green certification. Drink or hold. – 98 Points Stuart Pigott
4 bottles(s) of Gut Hermannsberg 2021 Steinterassen Riesling Trocken for $36.99 per bottle (SKU5684) Radical refreshment and fantastic precision at the very long, focused finish. From organically grown grapes with Fairn Green certification. Drink or hold. – 94 points, Stuart Pigott
2 bottles(s) of Gut Hermannsberg 2018 Niederhausen Hermannsberg GG Reserve for $67.99 per bottle (SKU5743) The subtle nose of fresh herbs and white tree fruit pulls you into this refined Nahe riesling masterpiece. Breathtaking freshness at the super-long finish. From organically grown grapes with Fairn Green certification. Drink or hold. – 97 Points, Piggott
8 bottles(s) of Gut Hermannsberg 2021 Felsenberg Schlossböckelheim GG for $59.99 per bottle (SKU5685) The touch of grapefruit-pith bitterness on the finish only adds to the vitality. From organically grown grapes with Fairn Green certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023. – 96 points, Stuart Pigott
2 bottles(s) of Jurgen Von der Mark 2019 Grauburgunder Bedecken Deinen Himmel Zeuss for $34.99 per bottle (SKU4312) This could not be more different than the Weissburgunder. There is no discernible oak and it’s a much more cerebral wine that needs maybe 3-5 years of age. But it is stunning wine, make no mistake but more of a wine that needs to be celllared and aired out heavily.
12 bottles(s) of Juwel 2021 Fruhmesse Riesling Trocken for $33.99 per bottle (SKU5429) This has incredible texture and finishes with beautiful, elevated but in balance acidity that takes this to the next level. Wow. Electrifying. Really beautiful purity and so chiseled. Clean like spring water.
6 bottles(s) of K.H. Schneider 2021 Marbach Rielsing for $28.99 per bottle (SKU5618) From the expansive nose of apricot, fresh pineapple and passion fruit you’d never guess that the 2021 vintage was challenging. Stunning concentration, ripeness and expressive minerality all pull together on the beautifully balanced palate. Diamond-bright finish! Excellent aging potential. Drink or hold.- 95 Points, Stuart Pigott
3 bottles(s) of K.H. Schneider 2021 Felsenberg Riesling Trocken GG for $31.99 per bottle (SKU5619)
2 bottles(s) of Kunstler 2021 Hocheimer Holle GG for $49.99 per bottle (SKU5243)
4 bottles(s) of Laible 2022 Chardonnay Am Buhl for $39.99 per bottle (SKU5803) This wine was a revelation to me and shows how serious Chardonnay in Germany is. This wine drinks like a Batard-Montrachet from a vintage like 2019 or 2020.
2 bottles(s) of Laible 2021 Riesling Achat ST for $34.99 per bottle (SKU5432)
6 bottles(s) of Laible 2022 Durbacher Plauerlain Klingelberger 1782 Riesling Spatlese Trocken for $33.99 per bottle (SKU5804) Ive tasted a lot of young Klingelberger by Laible before but nothing prepared me for the 2022. It was mindblowing. It was maybe the greatest young Laible wine Ive had of all the wines. It took my breath away.
1 bottles(s) of Laible 2022 Am Buhl Riesling GG for $37.99 per bottle (SKU5710) The 2022 is like the 2021 merged with the 2020. I was blown away by these wines and this is more a testament to the brilliance of Andreas Laible than anything else.
6 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese *** (White Cap) for $94.99 per bottle (SKU5813) Very fine and elegant on the palate, this is a silky-textured, intense, muscular, very dense and concentrated Riesling Auslese that reveals great talents but should be kept for at least a decade. It has great complexity and balance and is very long and complex. Impressive. – 98+ Points, WA, Stephan Reinhardt
13 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2014 Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese*** White Capsule for $74.99 per bottle (SKU5896) Dont expect a bright, clear and pure Riesling here if you dont open the bottle a couple of days before you drink it, because this seems to be a rather dry extract of Riesling (40 grams of sugar-fee extract,) but thats exactly what it is–very fine Riesling from a very special vintage. – 97 Points Stephan Reinhardt
9 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2020 Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese* (Green Capsule) for $35.99 per bottle (SKU5816) The finish is very intense and concentrated but savory and stimulating. This Riesling is like a bright laser beam! But it is also very intense and concentrated. A promising wine that is made to be cellared for a minimum of 10 to 15 years. 10.5% stated alcohol. – 97 Points, WA, Stephan Reinhardt
23 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett Fuder 6 White Cap for $36.99 per bottle (SKU5809) Its a mouth-filling but elegant, vital and mouthwatering Sonnenuhr Kabinett with the extra Molitor dimension. 11% stated alcohol. Natural cork. – 94 Points, WA, Stephan Reinhardt
18 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett Gold Cap for $27.99 per bottle (SKU5817) Full-bodied, crystalline and fresh on the palate, this is a pure, saline and terribly fresh but mouth-watering ZSU Kabinett with fine and precise acidity and a tight and tensioned finish that needs some years to refine. 7.5% stated alcohol. 95 Points, WA, Stephan Reinhardt
2 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese (White Capsule) for $30.99 per bottle (SKU5810) This 2020 is remarkably complex and tensioned, but it has stimulating, zesty salinity and serious tannin structure. This impressive dry (or dry styled?) Spätlese will need another five to 10 years to open up and unfold its finesse and layers that it will easily keep for 50+ years, if cellared properly. – 95 Points, WA, Stephan Reinhardt
6 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese ** (White Cap) for $54.99 per bottle (SKU5814) His 2020 Auslese ** is full of energy, tension and salinity, and dare I say, planet wine doesnt have that much to compete at this level of terroir expression and quality for a price of an incredible 40 euros ex-cellar. – 97 Points, WA, Stephan Reinhardt
10 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2020 Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese** (White Capsule) for $54.99 per bottle (SKU5812) this is a round and fruity as well as savory Riesling with a long, intense and persistently saline finish. A fabulous Brauneberg grand cru! 11.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. – 97 Points, WA, Stephan Reinhardt
4 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2020 Wehlener Klosterberg Riesling Spätlese (Green Capsule) for $26.99 per bottle (SKU5815) Extract, expression and tension, as well as its concentrated fruit core, make this a very promising Spätlese for two and more decades. A hidden gem of the giant Molitor portfolio. 11% stated alcohol. – 95 Points, WA, Stephan Reinhardt
4 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2020 Wehlener Klosterberg Auslese*** (Yellow Capsule) Pinot Blanc for $50.99 per bottle (SKU5808) Aged in noble Burgundy barrels for 18 months, the 2020 is going to be bottled in August this year and will need 6–10 years to become the show stopper the wine already pretends to be. Definitely a wine to pre-order. Release date: unknown. Tasted as a still-to-be-filtered sample in July 2022. – 96-98 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, WA
2 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2021 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese ** (White Cap) for $56.99 per bottle (SKU5284)
1 bottles(s) of Martin Muellen 2021 Trarbacher Huhnerberg Riesling Spatlese Trocken for $36.99 per bottle (SKU5787) The wine still proves very compact on the palate, where there is incredible energy and intensity. There is a fine creamy texture running through the wine, but it is perfectly balanced by the ripe and juicy acidity. The finish is vibrating and very pure. What a glorious dry Riesling. 2026-2041. – 95 points MFW
19 bottles(s) of Martin Muellen 2021 Huhnerbeger Trocken for $33.99 per bottle (SKU5751) So the headline says that it tastes like still Champagne. I will clarify that it’s like a Blanc de Blancs, which makes no sense, but that’s what it is.
7 bottles(s) of Richard Ostreicher 2021 Chardonnay Rossbach for $67.99 per bottle (SKU5865) The best comparison I can make is Elite Grand Cru Chablis but maybe with a touch of very good 1er Cru St. Aubin and some Ostreicher magic.
1 bottles(s) of Schafer-Frohlich 2022 Stromberg Riesling GG for $73.99 per bottle (SKU5776) The nose of this astonishing riesling GG is like an entire spectrum of electric pastel colors. So succulent and so vibrant on the extremely concentrated yet sleek palate. Staggering intensity and precision at the almost endless finish that’s so beautifully balanced. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. – 97 Points, Pigott
3 bottles(s) of Van Volxem 2021 Gottesfuss GG for $47.99 per bottle (SKU5034) This is quite closed on the nose, but the ripeness and concentration on the palate are impressive. Real power for the challenging 2021 vintage. Very intense and polished finish that extends way out there. Excellent aging potential. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. 94 Points, Stuart Piggott
18 bottles(s) of Weingut Weltner 2022 Kuchenmeister Hoheleite GG Riesling for $49.99 per bottle (SKU5651) This and the Sylvaner GG from Hoheleite are the two wines that inspired me to come up with the wall of flavor descriptor. The 2022 is just a sick wine. It has periodic table levels of minerality and the structure to age 10-15 years and likely longer.
13 bottles(s) of Weingut Weltner 2020 Kuchenmeister Hoheleite GG Riesling for $57.99 per bottle (SKU3893) 2020 is little bit like 2016 or maybe like 2018 – 2016 is my favorite vintage at Weltner.
1 bottles(s) of Weingut Weltner 2022 Rodelsee Schwainlate Sylvaner Alte Reben for $29.99 per bottle (SKU5774) If you like white wine, do NOT miss this wine. It is completely outrageous and absolutely trounces every Sylvaner on the market at this price point and 20% higher! I adore this wine and never have enough.
6 bottles(s) of Weingut Weltner 2022 Kuchenmeister Hoheleite GG Sylvaner for $49.99 per bottle (SKU5652) You cant believe how good the Sylvaner Hoheleite is that it does this floaty thing on your palate for like maybe 2-3 seconds as your tasting it and thats like the batters knee buckling.
5 bottles(s) of Weingut Weltner 2022 Rodelsee Kuchenmeister Sylvaner Trocken for $29.99 per bottle (SKU5773) Of the two 1er Cru Sylvaners Paul makes this is the more clean, the more precise, the more shimmering. This wine shimmers. You gotta wear sunglasses to drink this stuff.
4 bottles(s) of Weingut Weltner 2020 Virgo Gaia Scheu Aber Wild for $35.99 per bottle (SKU4608) This is made in a natural style with 10 day skin contact and low sulfur used throughout. Its so rare I havent tasted it yet but it takes the best of Steinmetz and Weltner and merges into one profound bottle of Scheurebe. This is likely quite distinctive.
1 bottles(s) of Ziereisen 2020 Jaspis Chardonnay Nagelin for $74.99 per bottle (SKU5439)
3 bottles(s) of Ziereisen 2020 Jaspis GrauBurgunder Wurmlin Alte Reben for $63.99 per bottle (SKU5440) From 50+-year-old vines, the dark golden-orange 2020 Jaspis Grauer Burgunder Würmelin shows a deep, clear, refined, very elegant and balanced nose of ripe fruits and finely milled chalk. Rich and round yet also dry, fresh and saline on the palate, this is a full-bodied, powerful yet pure and refreshing mineral Pinot Gris with lingering salinity and fine, chalky tannins. The finish is clear and fre

Jura
1 bottles(s) of Guillhaume Overnoy 2015 Vin Jaune for $109.99 per bottle (SKU5142) Sick nose, grilled nuts, varnish, super intense but very pretty, floral, salty, caramel, gorgeous, smoke, bacon, mineral and chlorine, just a stunning nose. Smokey and intense, bbq, incredible, huge concentration, wow.

Red Wines
—————————————————————————-

Italy
3 bottles(s) of Arpepe 1999 Valtellina Superiore Il Pettirosso for $149.99 per bottle (SKU5571) Direct from the cellar a treasure for any cellar. As rare as it gets.
5 bottles(s) of Arpepe 2017 Sasella Valtellina Superiore Stella Retica for $43.99 per bottle (SKU5755) Its basically an elegance bomb. Take Audrey Hepburn, a group of harps, some Hermes scarves and Bachs Branderburg Concerto, wrap them all up and thats what you get with this wine.
7 bottles(s) of Arpepe 2017 Grumello Rocca de Piro Valtellina Superiore for $42.99 per bottle (SKU5692) So elegant and finesse-driven with stunning aromas. Amazingly elegant tannins and such purity. OMG. This is sick. This is so expressive. Juicy and sweet and just so transparent and complex.
2 bottles(s) of Cadia 2019 Barolo Monvigliero for $44.99 per bottle (SKU5624) This is a Barolo that is a fantastic calling card for what the best 2015 Monviglieros are all about. This is elite A+ terroir. Its the Chambolle of Barolo.
2 bottles(s) of Cantina Togliana 2018 Carema Riserva for $57.99 per bottle (SKU4718) This is one of those wines that is a showcase for Carema and justifies my belief that this is one of the most important AOCs in Italy. Blind, this would take me to elite traditional Nuits Saint Georges made 30 years ago. Think Henri Gouges. But without the tannic heft of classic Gouges. Almost NSG crossed with Chambolle Musigny.
2 bottles(s) of Cantina Togliana 2019 Carema lArsin for $49.99 per bottle (SKU4719)
1 bottles(s) of Cascina Sot 2019 Barolo Bricco San Pietro for $69.99 per bottle (SKU5489)
17 bottles(s) of Cecllia Monte 2013 Barbaresco Serracapelli for $50.99 per bottle (SKU5265) I have not hard his as we started with the winery with the 2014 vintage but given her style and the character of the vintage, I had to sell it.
2 bottles(s) of Cella Grande 2019 Carema for $49.99 per bottle (SKU5642) The wine had so much lift and energy that it was remarkable. A mineral core that only the best wines in Piedmont have. Amazing pure, strawberry, raspberry fruit on the nose that I only find in elite Barbaresco. The anise/caraway seed on the nose of this bottle was a knockout. It was teeming with energy and had just insane depth and length.
2 bottles(s) of Duemani 2019 Altro Vino for $37.99 per bottle (SKU4899) Tasted as an unfinished wine, the 2019 Merlot Cabernet Franc Altrovino is a blend that is assembled immediately after the harvest and fermented in cement and terracotta. Future vintages will probably see more terracotta, as winemaker Luca DAttoma is moving in this direction, especially as this material will give the wine an edge when it comes to aging, he says. The bouquet delivers some minty tone
1 bottles(s) of Francesco Rinaldi 2019 Barolo Rocche dell Annunziata for $69.99 per bottle (SKU5300) With fruit from La Morra, this wine shows soft fruit, spice and fine tannins that are characteristic of this cru site with beautiful south-facing exposures. The bouquet on the Francesco Rinaldi & Figli 2019 Barolo Rocche dellAnnunziata is initially shy, and you need to give this wine more bottle age. Redcurrant, spice and licorice eventually lift from the bouquet. Production is limited to 3,300 bo
5 bottles(s) of La Badina 2019 Lessona for $37.99 per bottle (SKU5194)
13 bottles(s) of Lunarossa 2016 Borgomaestro (4427) for $32.99 per bottle (SKU4427) The 2016 Aglianico Borgomastro grumbles up from the glass, slowly revealing a classic display of blackberries and plums laced with hints of animal musk, ashen stone and dried roses. This is a lifted and feminine expression, showing remarkable purity, as a silken wave of ripe red and black fruits washes across the palate with grace. Enlivening acidity and salty minerals create a push and pull of sa
5 bottles(s) of Petra 2020 Potenti Toscana IGT for $34.99 per bottle (SKU5366) The 2020 Potenti could be a classed growth Bordeaux. It has incredible flavor intensity allied with even better freshness and a sense of real refinement. Its polished but not nearly too polished.
1 bottles(s) of Pier Paolo Grasso 1998 Barbaresco Piccola Emma for $84.99 per bottle (SKU5488) Drinking this wine is an experience. A journey. The craziness that unfolded over the mere hour I had to spend with it was one of the most fun I’ve had as a taster.
1 bottles(s) of Rocche Di Barbari 2016 Alivio Barbaresco Riserva for $69.99 per bottle (SKU5549)
9 bottles(s) of Sergio Barbaglia 2020 Colline Novaresi Croatina for $22.99 per bottle (SKU5407) The Italians make rustic better than anyone and its hard to escape it even in the most celebrated wines but I think thats what people truly love about Italian wines is the rusticity. Today wine is the epitome of all what Italy does right in the under $23 category
11 bottles(s) of Sergio Barbaglia 2018 Boca for $40.99 per bottle (SKU5575) The Boca has the finesse of a great Barbaresco and in 2018, it is the best young Boca from that vintage Ive tasted. Its a marvel and an important benchmark wine in the continuing story of Alto Piemonte and Boca.
8 bottles(s) of Sergio Barbaglia 2018 Boca for $40.99 per bottle (SKU5406) This is a brilliant wine and $44 for this is just a pittance for the level of quality you are getting here. Compare at $50-$68 for less expensive vintages.
7 bottles(s) of Tenuta Monolo Gilodi 1990 Bramaterra Riserva (5380) for $24.99 per bottle (SKU5380) This is a gorgeous wine. I love it. The palate is seamless and so elegant. Black tea, leather and tons of those violets. Stinking energy and intensity and serious ripe tannins. Tons of tertiary and non fruit flavors.
8 bottles(s) of Tenuta Monolo Gilodi 2000 Bramaterra Riserva for $24.99 per bottle (SKU5462) This is a brilliant wine that will turn heads. This has at least 10-12 years more ahead of it. It is so sick. This is between secondary and tertiary right now with also some primary thrown in there for good measure.
3 bottles(s) of Vietti 2019 Barolo Lazzarito for $289.99 per bottle (SKU5317) The 2019 Barolo Lazzarito continues a trend seen in recent years in which the focus has been more about finesse than raw power. Intense red fruit, iron, dried herbs, chalk, dried rose petal and white pepper all run through this deep, virile Barolo. The power and intensity of Serralunga really come alive on the heady, explosive finish. Bright saline notes linger on the deep, resonant finish. A Baro

4 bottles(s) of Vinding Montecarrubo 2021 Quattro Venti for $49.99 per bottle (SKU5232) This is 66% Syrah blended with 34% Cabernet Franc. Vinding-Diers became famous for his work in Bordeuax. And this wine is a bit of a nod to that with the inclusion of Cabernet Franc. This is more a show stopper kind of wine and really shows Vinding-Diers skills as a winemaker.
13 bottles(s) of Vinding Montecarrubo 2020 Cuvee Suzanne for $44.99 per bottle (SKU4486) This wine is named for Peters wife of 50 years, Suzanne. This wine is somehow almost more Cote Rotie than present day Cote Rotie.
3 bottles(s) of Vinding Montecarrubo 2020 Cuvee Rudolf for $40.99 per bottle (SKU4420) This is 100% Syrah. FYI I had this on day 5 and this was still incredible. The balance here is incredible. Its a masterclass in winemaking.
2 bottles(s) of Vinding Montecarrubo 2021 Cuvee Suzanne for $44.99 per bottle (SKU5233) This wine is named for Peters wife of 50 years, Suzanne. This wine is somehow almost more Cote Rotie than present day Cote Rotie.

2 bottles(s) of Bel Air Marquis dAligre 1998 Bel Air Marquis dAligre for $77.99 per bottle (SKU5516) The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a splash of Worcester sauce infusing the red fruit with a delicate touch of spice toward the finish. This is drinking beautifully now and I would probably not age it too much longer. 91 Points Vinous, Neal Martin
1 bottles(s) of Bel Air Marquis dAligre 1996 Bel Air Marquis dAligre for $77.99 per bottle (SKU5920) My favorite Bordeaux. The Rayas of Bordeaux. 1996 Direct from the estate.

7 bottles(s) of Chateau Bouillerot 2018 Essentia for $22.99 per bottle (SKU3930) The middle cuvee here and the same goes. Elte Bistro wine.
2 bottles(s) of Chateau Le Reysse 2012 La Reysse for $25.99 per bottle (SKU5430) This is the best mature La Reysse right now Stefan says it is one of the the best La Reysse ever. Only time will tell. Please pay attention La Reysse lovers as this is the vintage to go long. The 2012 has a cooling mineral nose with astonishing depth and purity which gives off an impression of amazing freshness.
3 bottles(s) of Chateau Samion 2020 Bordeaux for $37.99 per bottle (SKU5877) This is mythical and it seems the perfect expression of what Jean-Claude Berrouet has been trying to achieve. Even eclipsing the magnificent 2019 and 2020, but Pomerol and Lalande-de-Pomerol where Samion hails from are the star appellations of a historically great vintage in Bordeaux.
10 bottles(s) of Clos du Moulin 2020 Clos du Moulin for $19.99 per bottle (SKU5431) This is the more Burgundian of the two and a bottle of the 2017 recently knocked me out and was even better on day 2. How often can one say that about an under $25 Bordeaux? This is value you do not see every day. This wine has its obsessive fans and in 2020 they better back up the truck.
5 bottles(s) of Vieux Chateau St. Andree 2020 Vieux Chateau St. Andre for $33.99 per bottle (SKU5222) This is a much more accessible version from the same guy who brings you Samion, in that it can be drunk now. It is not a glugger by any means but just because of where it comes from, it is ready to go with a 30 minute decant right out of the gate
9 bottles(s) of Vieux Chateau St. Andree 2020 Vieux Chateau St. Andre for $34.99 per bottle (SKU5878) This is a much more accessible version from the same guy who brings you Samion, in that it can be drunk now. It is not a glugger by any means but just because of where it comes from, it is ready to go with a 30 minute decant right out of the gate.

2 bottles(s) of Bernard Gripa 2020 St. Joseph Parady for $64.99 per bottle (SKU5269) Deep, dark purple. Powerful dark berry liqueur, candied violet, cracked pepper and licorice scents, along with hints of olive paste, espresso and smoky minerals. Offers deep, palate-staining boysenberry, cherry liqueur, floral pastille and fruitcake flavors that show superb depth and are braced by a spine of juicy acidity.

3 bottles(s) of Christophe Billon 2020 Cote Rotie Les Rozier for $69.99 per bottle (SKU5477) All Syrah, the 2020 Côte Rôtie Côte Rozier comes from a site just above La Landonne, and I always find a similar smoky, meaty character from this site. Ripe black fruits, barbecued meat, pepper, and chocolate all define the bouquet, and its a mouth-filling 2020 with building tannins, a great mid-palate, and a big finish. It has more baby fat than the Brocarde, but still needs bottle age.. – 93-95
1 bottles(s) of Christophe Billon 2019 Cote Rotie Les Rozier for $67.99 per bottle (SKU4583) The 2019 Côte Rôtie Côte Rozier is also concentrated and rich, yet it has a more lifted, elegant, fresher style in its plum and flowery, peppery incense aromatics, medium to full body, building tannins, and great finish. It doesnt have the sheer wealth of fruit to buffer its structure like the La Brocarde and needs at least 4-5 years in the cellar to round into form. Its impressive, nevertheless.
2 bottles(s) of Christophe Billon 2020 Cote Rotie La Brocarde for $71.99 per bottle (SKU5257) Not yet bottled, the 2020 Côte Rôtie La Brocarde (theres 3% Viognier) sports a dense purple hue as well as smoking good aromatics of darker, almost blue fruits, charred meat, graphite, and crushed stone-like minerality. Its a big, powerhouse Côte Rôtie, but it stays tight, focused, and pure on the palate, with plenty of ripe tannins. Its a wine that will demand bottle age. – 94-96 Jeb Dunnuck
2 bottles(s) of Christophe Billon 2020 Cote Rotie Les Elotins for $49.99 per bottle (SKU5258) Smoky black fruits, candied violets, and incense notes all emerge from Billons 2020 Côte Rôtie Les Elotins, a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, yet tannic wine that needs 3-4 years of bottle age. This cuvée is 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier, and comes primarily from the Côte Brune. Its partially destemmed and the élevage spans 22 months in once- and twice-used barrels. – 91+ Jeb Dunnuck
6 bottles(s) of Christophe Billon 2020 Cote Rotie La Vialliere for $64.99 per bottle (SKU5478) A more lifted, floral wine, the 2020 Côte Rôtie La Viallière (100% Syrah) has perfumed notes of red, blue, and black fruits as well as rose petals, candied violets, and flowery incense. Its medium to full-bodied, has a supple, elegant texture, and enough tannins to warrant 3-4 years of bottle age. – 92-94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
4 bottles(s) of Compagnie de lHermitage 2019 Cote Rotie Lieu Dit La Brocarde for $139.99 per bottle (SKU5201) The deeply colored 2017 Côte Rôtie La Brocarde comes from a site on the Côte Brune side of the appellation. It offers a ripe, sexy, powerful nose of black currants, licorice, cured meats, and chocolate. This carries to a polished, ripe, medium to full-bodied effort thats perfectly balanced, has sweet tannins, and terrific mid-palate depth. Its unquestionably a modern style Côte Rôtie that will ben
2 bottles(s) of Compagnie de lHermitage 2018 Cote Rotie Lieu Dit La Brocarde for $129.99 per bottle (SKU4615) La Brocarde is an amazing site and these are very old vines from the best parcel in Georges opinion. George knows his stuff and has tasted, walked these vineyards for decades. It is extraordinary and profound Côte Rotie of the highest degree but man does this wine need time
4 bottles(s) of Domaine du Tunnel 2021 Cornas Vin Noir (GCP) for $89.99 per bottle (SKU5635) The 2021 Cornas Vin Noir is even better and clearly a candidate for the wine of the appellation. Ripe blackberries, smoked herbs, cured meats, iron, and spice all flow to a medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, balanced Cornas offering ripe, velvety tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. Bravo.. 93-95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (2021)

3 bottles(s) of Emmanuel Darnaud 2021 St. Joseph Dardouille for $53.99 per bottle (SKU5349) From a great terroir in the southern part of the appellation, the 2020 Saint Joseph Lieu-Dit La Dardouille sports a deep purple hue to go with a fabulous bouquet of ripe cherries, blueberries, crushed violets, leather, and loamy earth. With medium to full-bodied richness, it has some obvious minerality on the palate, nicely integrated acidity, firm tannins, and outstanding length. Its going to ben

6 bottles(s) of Guillaume Gilles 2021 Cornas for $89.99 per bottle (SKU5850) This is all Chaillot which really shows. Its got a gorgeously mineral nose with granite and really shows the mineral side of Cornas which is why it reminds me of a small scale Fauterie.
1 bottles(s) of Hector Adrien Charalambos Lelektsoglou 2017 Cote Rotie for $85.99 per bottle (SKU5828) For $86 this is an elite value and collectors item. Its me or bust. The wine is profound in every sense of the word. I get giddy thinking how this will turn out in 5-10-15-20-years. Its like Cuchet Beliando and Marquis dAligre In that you cannot stop smelling, drinking or thinking about whats in the glass.
1 bottles(s) of Jacques Lemenicier 2021 Cornas for $51.99 per bottle (SKU5863) One has to drink one of these young as its thrilling and can also show one how it ages and this Cornas really transforms with age. I cant wait to taste the 2020 and now the transcendent 2021 in 10 years.
3 bottles(s) of Jacques Lemenicier 2020 Cornas Pere Laurier for $84.99 per bottle (SKU5356) The 2019 Cornas Cuvée Pere Laurier is gorgeous stuff, with an old school-like vibe in its darker cherry and almost blue fruits as well as violets, pepper, and iron nuances. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated, it has terrific tannins, good acidity, and a great finish. Id be thrilled to have bottles in the cellar, and its well worth seeking out.

1 bottles(s) of Julien Barge 2021 Cote Rotie Couer de Combard for $109.99 per bottle (SKU5524) Its from the heart of Le Combard (Couer means heart) and has unique volcanic soils which are virtually unheard of in Cote Rotie. This has risen to the top and is now Barge’s best wine.
2 bottles(s) of Ludovic Courbis 2021 Cornas for $71.99 per bottle (SKU5676) Today is one of the most remarkable wines Ive ever had from young (ish) vines and it proves that terroir is truly the great difference maker rather than vine age. Well at least in this instance.
8 bottles(s) of Ludovic Courbis 2020 Cornas (5223) for $67.99 per bottle (SKU5223) This is one of the most remarkable wines Ive ever had from young (ish) vines and it proves that terroir is truly the great difference maker rather than vine age. Well at least in this instance.
2 bottles(s) of Luyton 2021 Hermitage Rouge Allegresse for $65.99 per bottle (SKU5534) I think 2021 is the most classic yet as despite it being a cool vintage it has unreal perfect fruit. This is some neck breaking QPR there. This is ridiculous wine and a testament to the quality of 2021 in the Northern Rhone and specifically Hermitage.
1 bottles(s) of Maison Alexandrins 2020 Cote Rotie (5007) for $74.99 per bottle (SKU5007) Does Alexandrins miss? Not yet. This is a tremendous bottle of Cote Rotie. Not as big as the 2019 but man this is an incredible wine in its own right. The tiny berry fruit complexity is off the charts as is the stunning purity. The wood use of Alexandrins is brilliant and he is like a great chef using salt.
9 bottles(s) of Maison Alexandrins 2018 Cornas (3451) for $57.99 per bottle (SKU3451) Such a sleeper Cornas. So rich and granite driven. Always better on day 2.
6 bottles(s) of Maison Stephan 2022 VDF Syrah for $39.99 per bottle (SKU5647) Its 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier. Baby Côte Rotie. From granite soils. Carbonic Maceration then steel vats for six months. The wine comes from soils right under the famous Chateau Grillet. The wine is ridiculous. for a wine like this made by a master the price is just unreal.
2 bottles(s) of Nicolas Champagneaux 2021 Cote Rotie Les Grands Palaces for $109.99 per bottle (SKU5796) The wine is a freak show and there is no other way to describe it. This is on the same level qualitatively as the Jadis, probably a bit higher actually, but its an entirely different animal as it is made from 100% Pinot Meunier.
5 bottles(s) of Nicolas Champagneaux 2021 Cote Rotie La Dedicace for $67.99 per bottle (SKU5840) Its 100% Syrah and shows what Nicolas can do in an utterly classic vintage. 2021 has gotten better and better since theyve been bottled and some seem to be really good young. This is 100% from Les Grandes Palaces. Vines are 33 years old. 100 cases total production.
6 bottles(s) of Nicolas Champagneaux 2020 Cote Rotie La Dedicace for $68.99 per bottle (SKU5454) Gorgeous all the way, the 2020 Côte Rôtie La Dédicace has a full-bodied, round, supple, sexy style to go with classic Côte Rôtie notes of black raspberries, spring flowers, incense, and hints of smoked game. Its rich, concentrated, yet light on its feet, with sweet tannins. Its a beautiful effort in a great vintage that will evolve for two decades.. – 95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck

1 bottles(s) of Chateau Bachelards-Comtesse Vazeilles 2018 Fleurie Les Clos (4729) for $99.99 per bottle (SKU4729) This gives you all the freshness you expect from a Beaujolais Cru, combined with staggering depth. Very flinty nose, but there’s also extremely fine forest-berry character. However, this barely prepares you for the enormous concentration and brilliance on the palate. The most extraordinary thing is the intense mineral imprint that remains, after you think the wine has left your mouth. From biodyna

Aged one year in 12-hectoliter Austrian oak foudre. Beautiful nose of rose, violet, mint and spice. On the palate, fresh, pure and full of savory, herbal notes, fine tannins and deep minerality. The finish is long and elegant. A thinking person’s Cabernet Franc.- 95 Points Stephan Reinhardt, WA
1 bottles(s) of Domaine des Roches Neuves 2022 Clos de lEchelier Saumur Champigny Rouge for $61.99 per bottle (SKU5640) The wine is ridiculous and it kind of can be drunk young, especially in 2022, if you decant the heck out of it, but I recommend 3-4 years in the cellar for it to really shine. A profound bottle of Cabernet Franc. Treat this like a great Musigny.
4 bottles(s) of Domaine des Roches Neuves 2017 Clos de lEchelier Saumur Champigny Rouge (5029) for $38.99 per bottle (SKU5029) This is, and I hate to use the word, but it really applies here, Burgundian to the max. Even more reason to be swooped by bitter, priced out Burg drinkers. It is so elegant, ripe, pure and just plain thrilling wine. Nimble.

2 bottles(s) of Domaine des Roches Neuves 2021 Franc de Pied Saumur Champigny for $46.99 per bottle (SKU4973) The 2020 Franc de Pied is incredibly reductive when it was first opened and needed a lot of time and a swirl with a copper coin. If you can be patient (5 minutes with a penny in your glass, or your currencys equivalent), its worth the wait. It reveals itself to be a richly fruited, savory style that fills the mouth with a balloon of chalky silkiness. The limestone element really shows itself on th

The limestone element really shows itself on the long finish, all finely grained texture and sinew. As youd hope from Saumur-Champigny, theres no sense of weight or heft.

6 bottles(s) of Domaine des Roches Neuves 2019 Clos de lEchelier Saumur Champigny Rouge (5325) for $47.99 per bottle (SKU5325) The 2019 Saumur Champigny Clos de LEchelier is round and gently calm, almost meditative, but the chalky soil keeps things fresh and moving along despite the warmth of the growing season. Theres delicacy on the midpalate and chalky finesse and fine tension on the lengthy finish, which is scented with red fruits and flowers. Outstanding stuff. – 95 Points, VINOUS
10 bottles(s) of Domaine des Roches Neuves 2020 Clos de lEchelier Saumur Champigny Rouge for $51.99 per bottle (SKU5301) The 2020 Clos de lEchelier is a focused style of wine hailing from limestone that has a sense of tenderness through the mid-palate, while the sinew moves forward incessantly along the palate. It has a fine sense of spice and fruit-led fragrance on the long length. Very convincing.-93 Points, VINOUS

3 bottles(s) of Chavy-Chouet 2021 Volnay Carelles 1er Cru Sous la Chapelle for $89.99 per bottle (SKU5208)
3 bottles(s) of Chavy-Chouet 2022 Maranges Rouge Les Plantes for $31.99 per bottle (SKU5873) On the palate, the complexity was fantastic and despite it being a wine of body it was drinking so well on a very warm day in late July. Incredible sweet fruit and precision. Easily the most precise Maranges I have ever had
9 bottles(s) of Domaine Jean-Marc and Hugues Pavelot 2021 Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode for $59.99 per bottle (SKU5537) La Dominode is justly known for its ability to age and this should only add to that legacy.. – 92 Points Burghound
4 bottles(s) of Francois Buffet 2021 Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Narbantons for $44.99 per bottle (SKU5508) A slightly earthier nose presents notes of both red and blue pinot fruit along with a violet top note. Here too the medium weight flavors possess a lovely texture if perhaps not quite the same depth on the equally persistent finale that is built to mature over the mid-term. – 89-92 Points, Burghound
3 bottles(s) of Francois Buffet 2021 Pommard 1er Cru Le Clos Micot for $65.99 per bottle (SKU5332)
3 bottles(s) of Francois Buffet 2021 Pommard 1er Cru Le Clos Micot for $65.99 per bottle (SKU5695) The 2020 Pommard Clos Micots 1er Cru has a transparent, well-defined nose with red cherries, wild strawberry and mineral scents. The palate is very smooth with fine tannins, well judged acidity and a very poised and quite persistent finish. This is very elegant. – 91-93 Neal Martin Vinous (2020)
4 bottles(s) of JJ Girard 2021 Savigny Les Beaune Rouge for $26.99 per bottle (SKU5637)
1 bottles(s) of JJ Girard 2021 Volnay 1er Cru En Chevrets for $57.99 per bottle (SKU5436) A strikingly pretty nose is once again quite cool and airy with more evident spice elements suffusing the mix of both red and blue pinot fruit. The vibrant and beautifully defined middleweight flavors are notably finer if not quite as mineral-driven on the youthfully austere and lingering finale where a touch of asperity slowly emerges. Note that my rating assumes that the asperity will slowly mit
1 bottles(s) of Julien Cruchandeau 2022 Beaune Les Bons Feuvres for $36.99 per bottle (SKU5724) Regarding Beaune « Les Bons Feuvres » is juste near Pommard Limit. We find a little the style of the wines of Pommard by a beautiful tannic material but with a great Freshness more typical of the wines of the appellation Beaune. Regarding vinifacation 50% of full clusters that gives it a very air and fresh side. – Julien Cruchandeau
7 bottles(s) of Maison Brisset 2021 Pommard 1er Cru for $89.99 per bottle (SKU5655) This is the most accessible, magical young Pommard I have ever had. It’s just magic. The first red Brisset Cote de Beaune wine since 2017. And it is an instant legend.
21 bottles(s) of Maison Brisset 2021 Bourgogne Rouge Cuvee Gabrius for $38.99 per bottle (SKU5673) This wine is just awesome. It is on the level of all the top Bourgognes but I like it better because its got qualities that a much more expensive wine has.
3 bottles(s) of Maison Poisot 2021 Aloxe Corton 1er Cru for $53.99 per bottle (SKU5717) Amazing clarity. Awesome purity and length with that classic 21 freshness, terrific acidity and an amalgam of red fruits. Very balanced and it has the most incredible refined charm of any Red Burgundy Ive sold in a long time
2 bottles(s) of Michel Rebourgeon 2021 Pommard Cuvee William for $44.99 per bottle (SKU5598) This is a stunning 2021 Pommard and a wine that can be drunk now with aplomb or cellared. This wine blew my mind. I was shocked how good it was. By far the best of the 5 vintages of this wine that i’ve sold.
4 bottles(s) of Remi Poisot 2021 Pernand Vergelleses 1er Cru En Carradeaux for $55.99 per bottle (SKU5389)
2 bottles(s) of Vincent Ledy 2020 Chorey Les Beaune Les Beaumonts for $47.99 per bottle (SKU5906) Terrific vintage for one of the the best Choreys in Burgundy. Most Chorey is forgettable in my opinion. Sorry Tollot-Beaut. Also Les Beaumonts is the best terroir in Chorey. The La Tache of Chorey-Les-Beaune.
4 bottles(s) of Vincent Ledy 2020 Savigny Les Beaune Les Conardies for $47.99 per bottle (SKU5678) These are from vines planted in 1939. What if Henri Gouges made Savigny Les Beaune? Incredible sweet/sweet flavors. It is super muscular, sappy, dense with extraordinary body, intensity with a sappy sweetness.

Savoie
11 bottles(s) of Domaine des Rutissons 2021 Etraire de la Huy for $29.99 per bottle (SKU5368) It has silky tannins that remind me of high end Chambolle or Volnay. The color is always a deep violet and its full bodied and tannic when young. But with age it gets incredible. The terroir comes through. That Alpine sensibility.

15 bottles(s) of Juwel 2020 Alsheim Spatburgunder for $28.99 per bottle (SKU5418) This wine is arguably, next to Enderle & Moll Liason, our most popular German Pinot Noir. 2020 is a very strong vintage in the Rheinhessen for Spatburgunder. 2020 is great and very comparable to 19 but 19 is more fresh and energetic while 2020 is more decadent. The 2020 is, and I hate this term, Burgundian to the max.
1 bottles(s) of Richard Ostreicher 2021 Spatburgunder K KATzensiert for $70.99 per bottle (SKU5666) This wine comes from a very specific microclimate which makes it incredibly distinctive. The vines are southwest facing and get very good sun. The soil is stony shell limestone as compared to the Rosen which is sandy loam. Its also higher on the hill. It has much better density and structure than the Rosen which we previously sold.
3 bottles(s) of Thorle 2020 Saulheim Probstey Spatburgunder Trocken for $52.99 per bottle (SKU5443) The deep and complex nose of blackberry, forest berry, wet earth, bitter chocolate and smoke leads you into this powerful and highly structured pinot noir. So dark, yet so invigorating, thanks to the super-vibrant and mineral acidity. Then comes the astonishingly long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.- 97 Points Stuart Pigott
5 bottles(s) of Weingut Josef Walter 2018 Father And Son Spatbrgunder for $40.99 per bottle (SKU5551) This is like Felix’s Clos St. Jacques as the Hundsruck is his fathers Chambertin. It is a barn burner of a debut in 2018 and it will only get better and better

Spain
5 bottles(s) of Luna Beberide 2021 Paixar for $32.99 per bottle (SKU5749) It has a moderate 13.5% alcohol and a very fresh sensation on the palate beyond analysis. The vineyards are in the process to obtain organic certification. 6,500 bottles produced. This is one of the most elegant vintages for this wine. – 97 Points, WA, Luis Gutiérrez

USA
2 bottles(s) of Martin Woods 2019 Gamay Havlin Vineyard for $35.99 per bottle (SKU5615) If Hanspeter Ziereisen made Gamay in the great old vine Godefroy vineyard of Chateau Thivin.

Switzerland
18 bottles(s) of Mohr-Niggli 2022 Pinot Noir Graubunden for $37.99 per bottle (SKU5765) The 1er Cru Möhr-Niggli Pinot Noir is aged in used barrels for 10-12 months and this is the best introduction one can get to elite Swiss Pinot Noir
7 bottles(s) of Mohr-Niggli 2021 Pinot Noir Mainefeld Pilgrim for $57.99 per bottle (SKU5638) The 2021 Pilgrim has some of the prettiest, silkiest, limber, nimble, satin-like Pinot Noir textures in any Pinot Ive ever had. It is just ridiculous what this wine does with texture. It is so so delicate yet it has incredible palate presence.
9 bottles(s) of Pircher 2019 Pinot Noir for $33.99 per bottle (SKU5714) Wow – what a stunning level of quality for this price. Pircher has a lot of fantastic terroir and they can only sell so much high end wine at this price so you are getting some very, very good fruit in an entry level wine.
8 bottles(s) of Pircher 2020 Pinot Noir Statdberg for $52.99 per bottle (SKU5561) This is a crazy steal because it’s in Zurich and Gianmarco has not yet been discovered by the Swiss public. These are 60 year old parcels. For $53 a bottle. And 2020 was a vintage for the ages in Switzerland even being difficult and low yielding.
2 bottles(s) of Weingut Riehen 2017 Le Grand Pinot Noir (3878) for $92.99 per bottle (SKU3878) This is the Swiss equivalent of the Jaspis Alte Reben and you all know how profound that wine is. This is as profound but its completely different. Like the difference between a Richebourg and a Corton Bressandes (if I had to pick two random Burgundy Grand Crus out of a hat). But if there was one village that this epic wine reminded me of it was Morey St. Denis and Clos de la Roche and/or Clos Vou
7 bottles(s) of Wetzel 2019 Spatburgunder Reserve for $40.99 per bottle (SKU5273) This is very good 1er cru quality wine for the price of expensive Bourgogne Rouge. As you look to the forward Burgundy gap as 2020 and 2021 quantities drop to near zero, this is a great wine to fill it. It’s stunningly good for the price. $100+ in Burgundy and his best wine.

4 bottles(s) of Caillez-Lemaire 2016 Pur Meunier for $54.99 per bottle (SKU5794)
2 bottles(s) of Charalambos Lelektsoglou / Diot Legras NV Champagne Brut for $59.99 per bottle (SKU5875) The style of this wine, which is 100% Chardonnay, is refinement, insane acidity and richness. That combo of refinement, insane super high intense acids and an equal amount of richness makes this irresistible. It is packed.
1 bottles(s) of Diot Benoit 2008 Millésime Vieilles Vignes GC for $74.99 per bottle (SKU5914) Every bottle I had in the Rhone this summer was sensational. It has everything one wants out of Champagne, but also turned up to around 11. 2008’s are so dense. So complex. So intense. The tension that is delivered is ridiculous.

4 bottles(s) of Giuseppe Negro 2019 Monsu Rose Langhe Rosato for $24.99 per bottle (SKU3604) Rose made from 100% Nebbiolo Barbaresco DOC grapes. The freshness of rose. The complexity of nebbiolo grown in elite terroir – a very special rose at a very fair price
1 bottles(s) of Motalli Renato 2020 Rosato for $30.99 per bottle (SKU5583) This is always one of my favorite roses. 100% Nebbiolo and you can tell. Incredibly vinous/serious and elegant. The aperitivo they serve in heaven. Can also be drunk with fish.

Italy
7 bottles(s) of Filippo Barni 2015 Cantagnal Apassiemento Erbaluce for $34.99 per bottle (SKU5793) This wine is a work of love. 20 workers spend a week hanging the fruit to dry before it is pressed. The labor cost alone on this wine is worth $50.

Germany
4 bottles(s) of Gunther Steinmetz 2022 Piesporter Treppchen Auslese for $36.99 per bottle (SKU5727) Tons of white flower aromas and just a touch of mangosteen and passion fruit. Then, when you think you know what this magnificent wine is all about the finish comes crashing over you like a great wave. Enormous aging potential. – 99 Points Pigott
20 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2020 Urziger Wurzgarten Spatlese Gold Capsule for $28.99 per bottle (SKU5818) The wine is filigreed, refined and saline and shows crystalline, ripe acidity. This is a highly delicate Spätlese that needs some time to open up its nose as well, but its a long-distance runner anyway. 7.5% stated alcohol. – 95 Points, WA, Stephan Reinhardt
6 bottles(s) of Markus Molitor 2021 Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese ** Gold Cap for $55.99 per bottle (SKU5293)

7 bottles(s) of Schloss Johannisberg 2022 Grunlack Spatlese for $47.99 per bottle (SKU5703) A masterpiece of finesse, precision and balance, but even that doesn’t say the most important thing, which is the breathtaking leafy freshness and stony clarity at the stunningly long finish. When will it ever stop? – 99 Points, Stuart Pigott
2 bottles(s) of Spater-Veit 2021 Piesporter Goldtropchen Spatlese Jupp for $28.99 per bottle (SKU5766) One of the Best Parcels in the Legendary Goldtropfchen. Has Auslese Intensity (Could Technically be Labeled an Auslese). Zero Botrytis. 2021 Acidity with Spectacular Goldtropfchen Fruit.
