Delicious example of what Dogliani is about. Many know the simple, fruity style of Dolcetto; this is different! The Dogliani character shines when great producers focus their care on this varietal and terroir, making longer-living wines of structure and depth. Some mellowed, brooding darker fruit; a meaty hint; and a typical chalky, mineral streak that comes with age.

Calsac’s top wine comes from a single-vineyard Clos in the Grand Cru village of Avize. The vineyard site is pure chalk (Belemnite) and grows only Chardonnay planted about 45 years ago, facing due South. 2013 was a great Champagne vintage, and especially fine for Chardonnay

This wine is insane. I tried it with the winemaker and Anthony Lynch is it knocked my socks off. So beautifully aromatic and refined with that bouncy, high toned energy of Island Wine. The only difference is that this rocks some serious power and intensity. At 15.5%, you would never ever guess, but be prepared.

Follin Arbelet is one of the underappreciated producers in Kermit Lynch's portfolio. Some of his land holdings border Coche Dury's new vineyards, which should give you an indication of the immense quality. Pernand's location, wedged between the Corton hill and the eastern slopes of the Côte d'Or, means that its vineyard sites are doubly sheltered from the prevailing winds.

The Hild family has chosen to grow Elbling with care and focus. Soils in the Upper Mosel are more limestone than slate, due to the swath of the Paris Basin that extends into the region. The chalkiness comes through in this sparkling Elbling, aged in stainless steel, spending nine months on the lees. Bright acidity and ripe, juicy pineapple make for a charming sparkler.

Both vineyards are located in Avila Beach, just 1.2 miles from the Pacific Ocean and are both farmed practicing organic by our good friend Ben Taylor. The grapes are foot tread and soaked on skins for 4 or 5 hours before being whole bunch pressed.

Think strawberry shortcake, ocean mist, & pink lemonade

Brilliant ruby red colour. Intense bouquet of characteristic marasca cherry, light tannic. The impact with the mouth is well bodied, nice freshness and harmonious balanced, intense aromatic persistence.

soft and approachable, delivering aromas of golden delicious apple, honey, and apple compote. The flavors in this Chardonnay prove to make it an instant favorite with fresh apple and fragrant herbal juniper.

a fruity aroma filled with pear, apple, orange, a little apricot, nice floral notes and a bit of spice. This light-bodied wine tastes simple, fresh and quite good with lots of apple, some zesty citrus and a bit of mango and pineapple. That little streak of spice from the nose carries over as well and there are even touches of sea salt that lead into the dry, medium long finish.

A medium bodied red wine with notes of wild berry, plums and distinct minerality.
