From the gently rolling hills of eastern Lodi, this Albariño was grown by the Bokisch family on their beloved Terra Alta Vineyard. Gallica and Bokisch have a shared passion for organic farming and sustainable practices. Our singular white wine, we love Albariño for its distinctive aromas and food paring potential. Varietally accurate and distinctly refreshing, Albariño reminds us of summer and all its bounty. Lemon verbena, white peach, and a hint of fennel from this fascinating terroir, mingles with sea salt and juicy acidity. Without new barrel influence, this is a celebration of Albariño ready to enjoy.

The 2022 Chablis Village has a crisp, focused bouquet with hints of pressed white flowers and wet stone. The elegant palate has flecks of white peach and apricot, balanced and lovely with a charming, precise finish. This is very capable and should age wel...
We are pleased to offer one of our best buys in Bordeaux in quite some time. Chateau Marquis d'Aleseme is a third growth property located right next door to Malescot and Chateau Margaux (some fine real estate indeed!). A long-forgotten classed growth, this is a Chateau on the rise and it remains a bargain play (for now). That will not last! We opened a bottle here in the shop for customers to try Saturday and it was very well received. We recommend a bit of cellar time if you can but if not it shows very well after about 4 hours of air
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is shaping up be another jewel of a wine from Rosemary Cakebread. Ample and explosive, the Cabernet shows all of the natural richness of the vintage in spades. Whereas the 2018 is bright and somewhat reticent, the 2019 is ver...
