Wine Notes
Wine Club Selections
Domaine d’Edouard “Les Collines de Vaux”
CÔTES D’AUXERRE, BURGUNDY| 2022
This is the kind of bottle that reminds you why these “off-the-radar” appellations matter, especially when it comes to Burgundy.
Vuurberg “White”
STELLENBOSCH, SOUTH AFRICA | 2020
You can usually find a few wines made by Donovan Rall on our shelves, and his winemaking projects are always a favorite to highlight.
Thomas Farge “Les Jardins de Chavagnac” Blanc
COLLINES RHODANIENNES, FRANCE | 2020
Arguably the most exciting part of their lineup, this IGP designation gives Thomas the freedom to step outside the rules, let his hair down, and lean into a future-forward way of thinking about this region.
Molino Real “Mountain Blanco”
MÁLAGA, SPAIN | 2019
Molino Real is part of Spain’s wine-rockstar Telmo Rodríguez’s mission to revive historic and nearly forgotten Spanish wine traditions.
Idlewild “Lost Hills Ranch”
MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA | 2019
Cortese is best known from northern Italy’s Gavi region, but it turns out it feels remarkably at home in Mendocino County.
Nicolau de Almeida "Ronfe"
VINHO VERDE, PORTUGAL | 2023
“Ronfe” is produced entirely from Trajadura (the Portuguese name for Treixadura), a grape found in Galicia—most notably in the region of Ribeiro.
BK Wines “Swaby” Chardonnay
ADELAIDE HILLS, AUSTRALIA | 2021
The 2021 Swaby is a powerhouse from the Piccadilly Valley which is one of the coolest and most prestigious pockets of the Adelaide Hills
Francis Blanchet “Vielles Vignes”
POUILLY-FUMÉ, FRANCE | 2024
In the glass, this wine is Sauvignon Blanc dialed up a notch: brisk citrus, ripe pear, a whiff of white flowers, and that subtle smoky edge that makes you pause and think.
Selvagrossa “Cuchén”
MARCHE, ITALY | 2022
Cuchén” is one of the best-value Italian white wines you can find. It’s made from the indigenous and rare Albanella grape, which is a specialty of the hills around Pesaro.
Azienda Agricola Bruna “Russeghine”
LIGURIA, ITALY | 2023
Last summer this wine got so much praise from our wine club members that we had to bring it back one more time!
Scar of the Sea "Vino de los Ranchos"
SANTA MARIA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA | 2021
You all know how we like to source some rare birds for our wine club members, and at a scant 396 case production, this beauty definitely marks that box
Domaine de la Sarazinière "Clos des Bruyeres"
BURGUNDY, FRANCE | 2023
This isn’t a race-to-market Aligoté as it’s made with the same care and deliberation as the domaine’s Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs.
Forjas del Salnes “Leirana” Albariño
RIAS BAIXAS, SPAIN | 2023
Rodrigo Méndez represents the fifth generation of his family’s centuries-long winemaking tradition.
A. Christmann
PFALZ, GERMANY | 2021
A. Christmann is one of the legendary estates of the Pfalz, with a family history of viticulture in the region dating back to the late 16th century.
Chamiot “Apremont” Blanc
SAVOIE, FRANCE| 2023
“The Chamiot family has owned vineyards in the picturesque Apremont appellation of the Savoie, an Alpine region in eastern France, for several generations, and the young Romain has recently taken the reigns from his grandparents to continue the lineage.”
Lackner-Tinnacher “Gamlitz”
Südsteirmark, Austria | 2021
“The winemaker Katharina Tinnacher draws inspiration from the land as well as her family’s history, which includes producing wine since as far back as 1770.”
La Colombera “Bricco Bartolomeo”
COLLI TORTONESI | 2022
“Cortese is best known for its role in the famed wines of Gavi, but here, in the Colli Tortonesi, it finds a unique expression with added depth and vibrancy.”
