Chateau Montelena
Napa Valley Chardonnay 2018
Napa Valley, California
A true icon. The Napa Valley Chardonnay is the wine that put Chateau Montelena and Napa Valley at the forefront of the wine world in 1976, in what is now memorialized as “The Judgment of Paris.” To great disbelief, the Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay was the top-ranking wine against four white Burgundies and five other California Chardonnays. And as they say, the rest is history.
Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay 2018 (92 VM)
Vinous Media “Chateau Montelena's 2018 Chardonnay is bright and finely sculpted, with terrific energy driving the citrus and floral flavors. Blocking malolactic fermentation keeps the flavors brisk. This cool site in Oak…

Masciarelli
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2018
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
The first line created by Gianni Masciarelli has become over the years a landmark for the company and its customers, in addition to being the most consistent and known, in Italy and abroad. Its wines, Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOC, Trebbiano D’Abruzzo DOC, and Rosato IGT Colline Teatine are today “a classic”, which can reflect the genuine taste of tradition and the quality of Abruzzo native vines.

Marina Cvetic Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2017
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC
The Montepulciano Marina Cvetic represents an intense and remarkable expression of one of the historical vines of Abruzzo. The 100% Montepulciano comes from eight of the estate's top parcels, across an altitude of 500 to 1,200 feet above sea level, on soils of calcareous clay and lime. In these vineyards, we find not only the traditional Abruzzo pergola vine training, but also Simple Guyot and Spur Cordon as well.

Ornellaia
Poggio alle Gazze dell’Ornellaia 2018
Toscana Bianco IGT
Poggio alle Gazze dell’Ornellaia is one of Italy's most innovative and progressive white wines, providing an altogether different experience of the Ornellaia estate and its Mediterranean influences.
Ornellaia Poggio Alle Gazze 2018 (93 VM)
Vinous Media "Poggio alle Gazze, Ornellaia's Sauvignon Blanc-based white, is especially fine in 2018. Lemon confit, sage, mint and bright floral notes are so finely cut. I would prefer to drink it…
Ornellaia Poggio Alle Gazze 2018 (92 JS)

Ornellaia Poggio Alle Gazze 2018 (91 WA)
Wine Advocate "The Ornellaia 2018 Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia is a blend of 83% Sauvignon Blanc, 11% Vermentino and 6% Viognier. The wine pours from the bottle with a light golden hue…

E. Guigal
Côte-Rôtie Château d’Ampuis 2016
Côte-Rôtie
The Guigal family spent 15 years restoring Château d'Ampuis, a historic property whose oldest sections date to the 11th century. The Château d’Ampuis has been the symbol of the town of Ampuis and the world-renowned Côte-Rôtie vineyard area for ten centuries. When the Guigal family learned that there was at one time a wine produced with the Château d’Ampuis name, they decided to produce an exceptional wine that would showcase the best that Côte-Rôtie has to offer.
E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d’Ampuis 2016 (95 VM)
Vinous Media "Extremely dark ruby. Powerful, mineral-accented cherry and dark fruit preserve, exotic spice, licorice and incense aromas show sharp delineation and pick up hints of candied flowers and olive with aeration.…
E. Guigal
Hermitage 2017
Hermitage
Hermitage is one of France’s most spectacular and famous appellations, producing small quantities of extraordinarily intense and ageworthy red wine and tiny amounts of dry white. The entire vineyard consists of 309 acres planted on a single granite hillside on the banks of the Rhône. The Hermitage Rouge is the example of a racy wine, that manages to remain seductive.
E. Guigal Hermitage 2017 (91-93)
Wine Advocate (91-93) "Hints of pencil shavings and crushed stone mark the nose of the 2017 Hermitage. It's medium to full-bodied, loaded with chunky cassis fruit and rich tannins. It looks to be…
Masciarelli
Trebbiano d’Abruzzo 2019
Trebbiano d'Abruzzo
Just as Masciarelli made a name for Abruzzo's Montepulciano grape, they also elevated the quality and reputation of the Trebbiano grape. The particular Trebbiano in Abruzzo is a relative of the grape planted in many other areas of Italy, in the climate and soils of Abruzzo when farmed for quality, it produces a wine with fantastically expressive fruit and a gorgeous balance of round concentration and mineral freshness.

Poggio al Tufo
Vermentino 2019
Toscana IGT
This single-vineyard Vermentino exhibits all of the characteristics for which Tuscan Vermentino is renowned, in particular its mineral notes, a result of the volcanic soil on which the vineyards lie. This bright, crisp wine has both wonderful freshness as well as the balanced quality typical of the varietal.
Poggio al Tufo Vermentino 2019 (90 JS)
James Suckling "Very typical vermentino with sliced-lemon and green-apple character. Medium body and a mineral and pear aftertaste. Drink and enjoy.”
Ornellaia
Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2018
Bolgheri DOC Rosso
Coming primarily from the estate’s younger vineyards and made with the same passion and attention to detail as Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is a true “second vin.” A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia combines generosity and depth of flavor with an engaging and vibrant personality.

Champagne Bollinger
Vieilles Vignes Françaises 2009
Champagne, France
Vieilles Vignes Françaises is one of Champagne’s most mythical cuvees, produced from miraculously preserved and ungrafted 100% Pinot Noir vines. Phylloxera destroyed the vines of Champagne in the early 20th century, but amazingly enough two of Bollinger’s classified Grands crus plots, Chaudes Terres and Clos St. Jacques, survived and are still grown the traditional way. Madame Lily Bollinger first had this wine produced in 1969 as an anniversary cuvee to commemorate her 70th birthday. Following the wine’s launch in 1974, Vieilles Vignes Françaises promptly became a collectible and a symbol of a bygone era. Over the decades, its uniqueness and scarcity have made it one of the most sought-after and expensive Champagnes.
Champagne Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Françaises 2010 (96+ VM)
Vinous Media (96+) "With a few hours of air, apricot, plum, spice, dried cherry and candied orange peel start to appear. In some years, VVF can be quite opulent, 2002 and 2010 come…
Rotem and Mounir Saouma
Inopia Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Blanc 2017
Côtes-du-Rhône
Burgundy meets the Rhône. An utter respect for tradition, and in some ways a total break. We’ve watched as Mounir and Rotem Saouma, of Burgundy producer Lucien Le Moine, slowly developed their estate and wines in the Rhône Valley, and the results today are too extraordinary and distinct to ignore.
Rotem and Mounir Saouma Côtes du Rhône-Villages Inopia Blanc 2017 (92 WS)
Wine Spectator "A lush and showy white, featuring creamed pear, fig and melon flavors, laced with white ginger and chamomile notes. A subtle quinine echo through the finish keeps this honest. Impressive…

Jeb Dunnuck (91-93) "From vines around the estate, just north of Orange, the 2017 Côtes du Rhône Inopia Blanc is a mix of Roussanne, Marsanne, Clairette, and Bourboulenc. It's a sensational Côtes du…

Château de Nalys
Saintes Pierres de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2018
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The second white wine to the Château de Nalys Grand Vin Blanc has a character all its own, with a strongly different varietal and plot composition, and like its red Saintes Pierres counterpart, a fermentation, and aging geared towards emphasizing freshness. The hallmark seamlessness of Guigal's white wines is especially evident in this wine, which is unlike any Châteauneuf white we have experienced in its grace and lift.
Chateau de Nalys Saintes Pierres de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2018 (91-93 JD)
Jeb Dunnuck (91-93) "The 2018s, all of which were tasted as barrel samples, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Saintes Pierres De Nalys Blanc offers racy notes of sliced apples, tart peach, and salty…
Chateau de Nalys Saintes Pierres de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2018 (90 WA)

Attems
Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Venezia Giulia IGT
Attems Sauvignon Blanc, like others from the region, remains a hidden treasure. The wines can be compared in fruit ripeness to Sancerre, with a more intense bouquet as well as a lusher weight and texture. Attems shows how the value of quality-driven, artisanal producers can be extraordinary.
Attems Sauvignon Blanc 2019 (91 JS)
James Suckling "A medium-bodied dry white with sliced pears and green apples, as well as some green-peach flavors and hints of fresh herbs. Flavorful finish. Drink now. "
Château de Nalys
Saintes Pierres de Nalys Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2017
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Translated as "holy stones", a play on the soils and history of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the second red wine to Château de Nalys is an altogether different animal. Differing varietal and plot selections, fermentation, and aging result in a wine that is rich and ample, yet offers immense direct and approachable pleasure; a wine of red fruits, supple structure and brightness.
Chateau de Nalys Saintes Pierres de Nalys Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2017 (93 WA)
Wine Advocate (91-93) "The first vintage vinified under Guigal ownership, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Saintes Pierres features hints of garrigue layered over expressive cherries and mixed berries. Full-bodied and supple, with a…
