2020 Chateau Branaire Ducru - St. Julien
The 2020 Branaire-Ducru was so alluring en primeur, but is very shy today. That said, some of that youthful exuberance has given way to the characteristic Brainaire finesse. Dark red cherry, spice, grilled herbs, menthol and licorice emerge, but only w...

2022 Obiz - Pinot Grigio Friuli
This direct import was "discovered" for us by the same broker who sells us Pasquiers. A small family-run operation
With 40 ha in DOC Friuli, they care about the bees (SNQP = sustainable certification for the wines / close to organic certification/ and also for workers ).
They are located in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
From our friends at the winery:
"The lower Friuli area is a landscape particularly favourable to the cultivation of vine. This is possible due to the proximity to the Adriatic Sea that mitigates the temperatures, but also due to the presence of the mountain range of the Julian Prealps that divert the cold northern currents away"
2019 K Vintners Syrah Columbia Valley The Deal
“Black tea, blackberry, redcurrant and sage on the nose. Full-bodied with fine, tight tannins. Bright acidity lifts up the dark-fruit profile and brings energy and drive to the lengthy palate. Ground spice and dark chocolate turn the experience savory by ...
2019 Ramon Canals - Onna Organic Red Blend
ONNA is a red wine produced with the grape varieties Tempranillo and Syrah from 100% organic certificate vineyards grown in Penedes region. Onna red is a wine with an intense and elegant aroma of ripe red fruit and jam, pleasant with a soft sweetness. Aged 3 months in Allier French oak.
2019 Cortese, Giuseppe - Barbaresco Rabaja
Enticing scents of blue flower, crushed mint, berry and vineyard dust form the nose along with a whiff of new leather. The firmly structured, focused palate shows cherry marinated in spirits, black raspberry and licorice alongside a backbone of fine-grain...
2014 Chateau Malartic Lagraviere - Pessac
The 2014 Malartic-Lagravière is a gorgeous wine, but it is also flamboyant and exotic, especially in its flavor profile. Super-ripe red cherry and plum make a strong first impression. Sweet floral and spice notes, along with ripe, silky tannins, add to th...
2020 Chateau Tour St Christophe - St. Emilion
So much black fruit, black walnuts, blueberries, wet earth, black truffles and some graphite. Medium to full body with lots of tension and focus. It runs very long with a salty undertone and some bitter, burnt lemon. Yet ever so subtle and refined. Drink ...
2019 Penfolds - Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Bin 600

2022 Chateau Sainte-Marie - Les Hauts de Sainte-Marie Entre-deux-Mers
Phil "discovered" this wine in a chance meeting at the Air France lounge in Bordeaux! This blend of 70% Sauvignon blanc, 20% Sémillon, 10% Muscadelle is a textbook white Bordeaux that is wonderfully crisp and jut plain fun to drink. Fun fact: Hubert De Boüard (owner of Chateau Angelus in St. Emilion) consults on this wine!
NV Bereche - Champagne Brut Reserve
Disgorged in July 2020 with seven grams per liter dosage, the NV Brut Réserve (2018 base) is the latest rendition of this wine. Bursting with aromas of orange oil, crisp orchard fruit and fresh bread, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and gourmand, with ...
2016 Chateau Larrivaux - Medoc
At once ripe yet cool with minty freshness, this Haut-Médoc has plenty of moderately dry tannins and currant fruit character to carry it. Good length. Drink or hold.
2021 Bevan Cellars - Cabernet blend Napa Ontogeny
An absolutely brilliant wine, the 2021 Ontogeny is an appellation blend put together by Bevan, and it's a year-in, year-out incredible value. Competing with wines 2-3 times its price (if not more), it reveals a deep purple hue as well as an exuberant, ful...
2020 Joblot - Givry 1er Cru Servoisine
Notes of sweet cherries, cassis, licorice and loamy soil tones preface the 2020 Givry 1er Cru Servoisine, a medium to full-bodied, powerful and concentrated wine with powdery tannins and lively acids. It's reminiscent of a more dynamic version of the 2018...
2021 Tan Fruit - Chardonnay Willamette Valley Fairview
The 2021 Chardonnay Fairview Vineyard is scented of red apples and quince with nuances of mushroom, matchstick, hay and acacia flowers. The light-bodied palate is energetic and focused with a youthfully coiled core of savory fruit and a long, mineral-driv...
2019 Cheval des Andes - Malbec Blend Mendoza Cheval des Andes
The 2019 Cheval des Andes had a more reductive vinification and élevage, making the wine a bit shy and in need of time to open up, as one of their objectives was to make it more age-worthy. Another objective is to get to a 50/50 blend of Malbec and Cabern...
2019 MacArthur Beverages (Sean Larkin) - Cabernet Merlot Napa
Sean has been producing world class wines since his first vintage of Cabernet Franc in 1999. He has garnered praise from world renowned critics including Robert Parker.
Since the first vintage back in 2007 this red blend by Sean has always been a customer favorite. Sean and Bruce Devlin, the wine maker at Ballentine Vineyards have carefully selected this blend from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is, without a doubt, one of the best blends Sean has made for us! Only 42 cases were produced.
2020 Trenel - Beaujolais Cuvee Rochebonne
The regional appellation "Beaujolais" was recognized in 1937 and is the most extensive of the region. It produces fresh and fruity wines, perfect for the first days of summer. Trénel's Beaujolais Cuvée Rochebonne is produced on the east of the "Pierres Dorées" area, on three parcels east oriented and facing the Mont Blanc. They’re located in the village of Lucenay and are particularly ancient: the older one has been planted in 1922. The soil is very clayey and gives roundness and structure to the wine.
2020 Albert Boxler - Pinot Blanc Reserve
"Gorgeous, especially given that warm vintage."

2021 Post & Beam - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
It's difficult to imagine a more appealing, lavishly oaked wine than this indulgent Cabernet. It packs in super-ripe blueberries, blackberries and black currants, bracing them with tons of fine-grained tannins and some good fruit acidity.
