SPARKLING WINES and DRY ROSE (Still):
1) Grand Beylesse Rose AOC Cotes de Provence 2023 (still): $10 Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault. A gorgeous shade of blush pink in the glass, the aroma profile invokes bright summer berries and Provencal herbs, wrapped in a minerality that makes this wine exceptionally fresh. Clos Beyless Rose is full bodied with great complexity and elegance, delicious as an aperitif or with a range of Provencal cuisine. This wine goes perfectly with olives, tapenade & crostini, seafood or salad.
2) Lucie Thieblemont Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Zero Blanc de Noirs: $13 WE 93 pts. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, this zero-dosage blanc de noirs offers rich raspberry and red-cherry flavors against a backdrop of chalky, salty minerality. Ripe in fruit yet bracing and taut, it’s a spine-tingling sparkling wine available at a low price point. Ready to drink now.
3) Gimmonet-Gonet “L’Etonnant” Blanc de Noirs N.V.: $14 The first Blanc de Noirs made at the joint Gimonnet-Gonet estate, L’Etonnant is an exceptional representation of the Blanc de Noirs style. The harmonious cuvee impresses with a fine mousse with aromas of brioche and red fruits. On the palate it flows with notes of ripe pear, baked apple, citrus, cherry, and brioche – L’Etonnant is full-bodied yet elegant. Dosage: 5 g/L
4) Champagne Jean-Noel Haton Brut Rose, Marne Valley: $15 30% Chardonnay 35% Pinot Meunier, 35% Pinot Noir. Very fragrant, delightfully revealing aromas of fresh red fruit. With aeration, stone fruit, sloes and orange zest emerge to finish on complex notes of pine resin and a slightly roasted flavor. A gourmet and
distinguished palate and superb length.
WHITE WINES
6) Lucas & Lewellen Estate Vineyards Viognier 2022, Santa Barbara County: $11 These hand-harvested grapes make a rich and exhilarating Viognier with flavors of melon and citrus. This Viognier pleases with fragrant aromas of pear and apricots. The palate is softly textured with creamy stone fruit intensity, honeysuckle notes and a long satisfying finish.
7) Ronco Pitotti Vignai da Duline Pinot Grigio 2022, Friuli Colli Orientali: $14 Most Pinot Grigio is drunk up immediately, and rightfully so: typical renditions range from thin and diluted at their worst to lean, crisp, and minerally at their best. But with Duline’s Ronco Pitotti, made from vines sixty to eighty years old, that satiating stoniness we crave from Pinot Grigio dances over sublime golden fruit and a hint of toasted almond to give a bianco that is concentrated and fleshy, yet still supremely refreshing. With such balance, it is hard to resist right now, but it promises to develop into something else completely for those patient enough to wait ten to twenty more years.
8) Lewis Cellars Chardonnay 2018, Napa Valley, CA: $15 Like a silk robe or satin sheets the 2018 Napa Chardonnay seduces with thrilling texture. Creamy pear, crème brulee, white nectarine and gardenia blossom sprinkled with vanilla spice, it is simply delicious and irresistible. Finely structured yet opulent to the core, it is graced with a long, luscious finish.
RED WINES
9) Radio-Coteau La Neblina Pinot Noir 2014, Sonoma Coast, CA: $17 The 2014 Radio-Coteau La Neblina Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is characterized by a red fruit core concentration underlying its ruby color. Fresh cranberry, crushed raspberry, and ripe strawberry round out the red with juicy plum running a shade darker. Violets spring forth from the earth and into the wine along with the savory hint of foraged north coast mushrooms. Hiding on the nose, but made known upon tasting, is a pleasant aroma of orange zest.
10) Perinet Merit DOQ Priorat 2018, Spain: $11 Merit is our introduction to the Priorat, a craft blend that showcases the typicity of the region, and the varietals and vineyards of our estate. In Merit, Syrah and Garnatxa bring floral notes, and Carinyena and Merlot add complexity and earthiness to the wine. The blend changes slightly vintage to vintage to bring you a true terroir expression of the minerality licorella driven soils into your glass.
11) Cottanera – Etna Rosso “Fuedo di Mezzo” 2017, Sicily Italy: $16 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 93 pts. “The Cottanera 2017 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo draws its fruit from one of the grand cru sites of Etna, if you care to classify the appellation vineyards in that manner. From a hot vintage, this wine shows depth and concentration that gives the wine weight and a heavy center of gravity. That makes all the difference in terms of mouthfeel. This wine finishes fermentation in oak and ages in French oak casks for up to 16 months, and the wine’s volume and texture have been considerably enhanced as a result. The quality of fruit is solid, and the wine shows pretty acidity thanks to vineyard sites located at a cool 750 meters in elevation.
12) Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Napa Valley: $14 Tasting Panel 96 pts. A wash of elegant liquid offers a whisper of sleek tannins guided by sweet earth, slate, purple plum, and black olive. Midpoint savory notes of fig, toasted cedar, and black tea meld with heather and blackberry on the well- structured and impeccably balanced palate.
Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot.
