Domaine de Cabasse ' Les Deux Anges' Sablet | 19.99 | Cote du Rhone Villages (Sablet) | 70% Black Grenache, 27% Syrah, 3% Carignan | Expressive fruit, a pinch of spices and roundness together with supple tannins. A wine of pleasures for any occasion. This spunky Sablet takes advantage of both traditional methods and new school style, with fresh and inviting aromas of red fruit and spice. | ||
2016 Domaine de Cabasse Gigondas Cuvee Jucunditatis | Rhone (Gigondas) | 80% Black Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah | ![]() | A traditional approach and assemblage for this magnificent soil. Complex and structured, this Gigondas shows a wonderful balance, pure elegance. | ||

2016 Barroche 'Fiancee' | 109.99 | Chateauneuf du Pape | 50% Syrah, 50% Grenache | ![]() ![]() | Interesting blend as it's half and half Syrah/Grenache. It has a deep, dense, gamey style as well as a big, rich, full-bodied profile on the palate. This deeply colored effort shows more and more saddle leather and pepper with time in the glass and is a beautiful effort that has one foot in the Northern Rhône and one in the Southern Rhône. | |
2016 Barroche "Pure" | 159.99 | Chateauneuf du Pape | ![]() ![]() | There are nearly 300 cases of the nectar that is the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Pure. Produced from 100+-year-old Grenache vines grown in sandy soils, simply put, it's just awesome juice. A kaleidoscope of red fruits—cherries, raspberries and strawberries—swirl languorously across the palate, boasting great intensity while seeming weightless at the same time. Hints of dried herbs and spices add complexity to this luscious concoction, which must be tasted to be believed. | ||
2014 Domaine Rene Lequin-Colin Santenay Les Hates | 39.99 | Chassagne-Montrachet | 100% Chardonnay | ![]() | Of the two Santenay chardonnays, this is the more generous, and it’s all based in the soil. “Les Hates” is a lieu dit in the mid-slope of the Côte, sandwiched between the Premier Cru sites of Beaurepaire (which is just beneath “Sous la Roche”) and the more famous 1er Cru Santenay sites of Passetemps, Beauregard, Clos des Mouches and Clos Faubard. | |
2014 Domaine Des Crets Macon Chardonnay Climat 'L' Echenault de Serre' | 34.99 | Macon | 100% Chardonnay | ![]() | Produced by Lequin, this single vineyard Macon is fantastic. It's farmed organically and with great care. This is 100% barrel fermented in Chassin and Rousseau barrels, of which only two barrels were new, making up about 12% of the blend. Because of the higher clay content here, the wine shows more fleshiness and roundness than the climat “En Bout,” but it is by no means a rich-styled Mâcon. | |
2016 Monte Rio Syrah | 29.99 | North Coast, California | 100% Syrah | During Patrick Cappiello's 1st vintage working with Pax Mahle on Monte Rio Cellars in 2016 he had the opportunity to choose his favorite barrels from Pax’s stable of hillside vineyards in Sonoma. Together they crafted a wine that represented not only their mutual deep passion for Syrah but the characteristics from California wines of yesteryear. Dark fruit, smoky meats and dusty earthy notes jump from the glass. | ||
2017 B. Millet Sancerre Blanc | 25.99 | 100% sauvignon blanc | ![]() | Millet manifests all the hallmarks of great Sancerre. Bright, crisp, citrus is driven by a lemony/limey profile that is laced with limestone minerality and fresh herbs. In the vineyard, all work is done by hand and the raw quality really shines through. If you are looking for true, authentic sancerre that's not too hightone or grapefruit-driven--this is your wine! Pairs best with shellfish, white fish, goat cheese and sunshine! | ||
2013 Brezza Barolo | 47.99 | Piedmont, Italy | ![]() | Fragrant and refined, this has classic Nebbiolo aromas of woodland berry, rose petal, tilled soil and a balsamic note of eucalyptus. It's vibrant, elegant and balanced, boasting juicy cherry, crushed strawberry, white pepper and a hint of licorice framed in bright acidity and taut, polished tannins. | ||
2009 Colares Ramisco | ![]() ![]() | One of the most amazing and rare wines you will ever find. Extremely old, own rooted vines that snake across the sand without training. The grape is Ramisco which is lower alcohol, but has immense acidity and tannin. These wines age decades and I've personally tasted bottles going back to the 1950s. This vintage is similar to some of the finest Barolo and Burgundy you will find | ||||
NV Huber Clavelin Brut Comte | 21.99 | Jura, France | 100% Chardonnay | ![]() ![]() | The care that they take is shown in the very fine quality of the Brut Comte – tasting more like a lesser, true champagne than a sparkling wine from Burgundy. Entirely hand-harvested. Whole clusters are gently pressed. Following natural alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, a second fermentation is done in bottle to produce CO2; méthode champenoise. Aged 24 months on hand-riddled. | |
2016 Domaine Dujac | 149.99 | Chambolle-Musigny | ![]() | One of Burgundy's finest yet most eclectic producers, Dom. Dujac excels in warmer vintages. They're known for their unique house style which includes a large percentage of whole cluster fermentation and select oak usage (although the amount of new oak has decreased every year). This wine has retty aromas of violet, dark currant and raspberry. | ||
2014 Simone Bize 'Les Perrieres' | 59.99 | Bourgogne Rouge | ![]() ![]() | A ripe and earthy yet quite pretty nose features notes of both red and dark berry fruit along with a hint of the sauvage. There is good concentration and plenty of vibrancy to the delicious and solidly concentrated flavors that culminate in a round and complex finish that delivers excellent length for its level with only a touch of rusticity. | ||
Domaine Michel Lafarge | 49.99 | Bourgogne Pinot Noir | ![]() ![]() | Lafarge is one of the finest and most historic producers in Volnay, and we eagerly seek any and all bottlings we can find. His entry level bourgogne rouge is no exception. Cool and pure essence of red cherry, raspberry and a similar touch of earth is extremely fresh. There is a slightly finer mouth feel to the nicely intense finish. | ||
Michel Lafarge 2016 | 99.99 | Volnay Vendanges Sélectionnées | ![]() ![]() | There are very few wineries in Volnay as important and proven as Lafarge. Stylistically, these wines typically require age but the 2016's have enough fruit to allow early enjoyment. The nose is enchanting with beautiful spice notes, leading to a body of pure cherry fruit. | ||
Patrick Piuze Petit Chablis | 39.99 | Chablis, France | 100% Chardonnay | ![]() ![]() | This Petit Chablis, hailing from a plot adjacent to the esteemed Grand Cru slope of Preuses, is a delightful creation from a trailblazing young winemaker. Exclusively fermented and matured in stainless steel, the result is a luminous, crisp white wine. It entices with fragrances of citrus and golden apple, which smoothly transition into mineral notes when tasted. It's an absolute delight to the palate. | |
Patrick Piuze Chablis | 39.99 | Terroir de la Chapelle | ![]() | A slightly riper nose is comprised by aromas of various white orchard fruit that are laced with hints of rose petal, quinine and a hint of sea shore character. The exceptionally rich, even opulent flavors are both seductive and generously proportioned yet tighten up nicely on the clean, dry and markedly saline-suffused finish. Good stuff that should drink well young as well. | ||
Ridge Vineyards 2014 Monte Bello | 249.99 | Santa Cruz Mountains | 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | There's too much to say about this wine but I'll start with noting that it's not only California's Greatest and most Historic Cabernet, but one of the finest and most collected in the world. It's also a wine that's immune to misguided trends and fads, with it stylistically remaining consistent over the last four decades. This is a iconic wine and vital to any serious collector. | |
Hervé Souhaut Syrah | 44.99 | Outside St Joseph, France | 100% Syrah | ![]() | Biologist Herve Souhaut is an icon of the modern natural wine movement, and very much a successor to natural pioneers like Lapierre and Chauvet. His method is unqiue for Syrah and more akin to Gamay. Whole cluster, partial Carbonic, long cool macerations with no sulfur until bottling. This is a fine, delicate Syrah that is all about purity and finesse over power or extraction. | |
Cascina San Lorenzo | 19.99 | Barbera d'Alba | A full bodied style Barbera that works well with a wide variety of foods. The vineyards used to make this wine come to harmony from historic sites in Serralunga d’Alba, Sinio, Santa Vittoria d’Alba and Canale. A great little value. | |||
2021 Envínate Vidueño de Santiago del Tiede | 40.99 | Ycoden-Daute-Isora (Canary Islands) | 50% Listan Prieto, 50% Listan Blanco | ![]() ![]() | Sourced from a tiny parcel of old vine, untrained Listan Preito and Blanco. Fermented naturally in open vats on the lees. No added sulfites. High toned, vibrant and intense with smoky gun flint and strawberry fruit. Great acidity and balance but should be paired with food and always decanted first if possible. | |
Domaine de Cabasse Gigondas | 29.99 | 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre | Cabasse is a small estate that combines the best of traditional methods and new school thinking. This Gigondas for instance showcases both the gutty and graceful sides of the appellation, delivering a potpourri of white pepper, dark fruit, lavendar and rosemary. Only 800 cases made. | |||
Domaine du Salvard, Pinot Noir Unique | 16.99 | Val de Loire | ![]() ![]() | Domaine du Salvard has been a working domaine since 1898, through five hardworking generations of the Delaille family. This Pinot Noir is a fantastic value for the grape and true example of what "old world" versions of the grape should taste like. Medium bodied, with a strong sense of earth and minerality, this is not only good friendly, but approachable on it's own. | ||
2012 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame | 215.99 | Champagne, France | Pinot Noir dominant w/Chardonnay | ![]() ![]() | An elegant Champagne, powered by a sculpted frame of acidity and minerality, this wears the refined, lacy mousse and well-meshed flavors of black currant, lemon curd, toast and marzipan like finely tailored clothing. Fresh and lasting, with hints of spice and smoke on the finish. | |
