The Lineup

🍷 2023 Benjamin Serer Vouvray "Les Trois Chênes"

A Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley, showing the variety's classic mix of orchard fruit, honeyed richness, and bright acidity. Expect notes of quince and chamomile with a textured, slightly waxy palate that finishes clean and long.

🍇 2024 Via Alpina Ribolla Gialla Collio DOC

A crisp, aromatic white from Friuli's Collio zone, with notes of green apple, white flowers, and a subtle saline edge. Light-bodied and refreshing, with zippy acidity that makes it an easy match for seafood or a warm afternoon on its own.

🥂 2022 Deovlet Chardonnay, Sta. Rita Hills "Sanford & Benedict"

A rich, layered Chardonnay with ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, and a creamy texture from time in barrel. Well-integrated oak adds toasty notes without overwhelming the wine's bright, mineral-driven core.

🍷 2022 Deovlet Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills "Sanford & Benedict"

A cool-climate Pinot Noir with red cherry, cranberry, and subtle earthy undertones. Silky tannins and bright acidity give it real lift, while a touch of baking spice from oak aging rounds out a long, elegant finish.

🍷 2022 Mas d'Amile "Les Clos" Terrasses du Larzac

An old-vine Carignan-based blend from the Languedoc, full of dark berry fruit, garrigue herbs, and a warm, sun-soaked character. The palate is dense but energetic, with fine tannins and a savory, spice-laced finish.

🍷 2024 Samuel Louis Smith Syrah Santa Cruz Mountains "Sandstone Terrace"

A cool-climate Syrah with dark plum, black pepper, and a distinct smoky, savory edge. Medium-to-full bodied with firm structure, it carries a floral lift on the nose and a long, peppery finish.
