Ornellaia Ornellaia 2022
$299.00Add to cartWe also have just two bottles of the elegant and highly coveted Super Tuscan from Ornellaia. The 2022 vintage is being called “La Determinazione,” which has a double meaning that represents the determination of their technical team and the resilience of the Ornellaia vineyards. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Petit Verdot. The resulting wine is beautifully subtle and concentrated with chewy tannins, a distinct stony quality, and a freshness that doesn’t always show up in Super Tuscans.

Petit Sauvage Rouge 2022
$20.00Add to cartA Cabernet Sauvignon hybrid, this Cabernet Cortis is a compact, blackberry plowhorse of a wine with big herbal notes taking center stage. A little wild and a lot of fun! Think chicken marsala or tomato-rich dishes.

Philipponnat Clos des Goisses 2014
$486.00Add to cartThe vines (mostly Pinot Noir) cling to the challenging “Goisses” (dialect for steep slope). The wine is equally dramatic, laden with golden fruit highlighted by toasty, chalky & redcurrent notes. Perhaps the ultimate food pairing wine, think high cuisine: game, truffles & Lobster Thermidor. Or enjoy with popcorn & a season finale.

Pichler Krutzler Gruner Veltliner Durnstein 2022
$31.00Add to cartHusband Erich Krutzler and wife Elisabeth Pichler-Krutzler farm 10 hectares (22.2 acres) of vines organically. The Gruner Veltliner wine is sustainable, fresh, and full of stony flavors and fruit. We’d go as far as saying this is an entry-level Austrian wine that will transport you to the Wachau where you can watch the Danube river in your minds eye flow towards Vienna and eventually into the Black Sea.

Saracina Rose 2023
$28.00Add to cartA winery owned and run by one of our neighbors! This Mendocino, CA winery is part of the Taub family wines.
The grapes for this wine come from about two miles down the road from the family estate and are tucked into the foothills of the Mayacamas mountains. Incredibly delicious grenache grows here and becomes the base for a stupendous rose full of notes of peach blossom, quince, and small red berries. There’s a beautiful perfume and great acidity. Mouthwatering.

Tara Atacama Valley Chardonnay 2021
$50.00Add to cartThis Chardonnay perfectly reflects the Atacama Desert. Beautifully structured, dry & stony with an unfined, cloudy elegance. The mineral finish is delineated & prolonged. 20 months in concrete and French oak give it longevity and length. As good as it gets from Chile.

Textura Encoberta Tinto 2018
$41.00Add to cartTextura comes from Marcelo Araujo, an incredibly passionate wine lover who launched the project in 2018 in the Dão region of Portugal with his family who relocated from Brazil. The vineyards are nestled against Portugals tallest inland mountain region (the Serra de Estrela) and produce incredible native varietals, even if you’ve never heard of the grapes they are growing.
The winemaking is led by Mariana Salvador with the consulting help of the legendary Luis Seabra who has trained the next generation of Portuguese winemakers focused on productions terroir-driven, complex wines. Clearly Mariana has talent as a winemaker (and student) and has made one of our favorite wines in the last few years.
Wine Enthusiast has this to say about this 2018 vintage: “An impressively rich wine, packed with firm tannins and structured black fruits. This is dense with pepper and spices along with succulent acidity.”

Unau Percheron 184 Mourvedre Blanc 2022
$25.00Add to cartNamed for the horse used to till the soils on the Fons-Sanatis estate, the wine is made with minimal intervention at every step. It’s textured and floral and a fun entre into the more “natural” end of the wine spectrum.

Vicus Irpania Falanghina 2024
$25.00Add to cartFalanghina is one of the best “everyday” grapes of Italy and in Naples, the Amalfi, and Campania it makes noteworthy, if easy, white wines. This example comes from a sustainability-focused, female owned winery in Campania. This wine is somewhere between sea breeze and inland herbs and is a really tasty example of what the grape can do.

Vie de Romans Vieris Sauvignon Blanc 2021
$49.00Add to cartWhen we first opened this wine we all stopped talking. It was so aromatic and interesting that it shut us right up—and if you know us that’s saying something. We love a wine like this that challenges us and is entirely unexpected. This is a Sauvignon Blanc for real Sauvignon Blanc lovers. What a wine.

Yves Cuilleron Viognier Les Vignes d’a Cote 2023
$33.00Add to cartThe Viognier Vignes d’à Coté, meaning “nearby vines” is from a sustainable vineyard close to the Condrieu appellation. This 100% Viognier is aromatic and is further intensified a few months in oak.
This is an excellent introduction to Viognier with the tell-tale aromas of apricot, nectarine and floral honeysuckle on the nose. The palate is fleshy and ripe, with excellent acidity. Simply put this is a delicious, mouth-watering Viognier from one of the top producers in the Rhone.
