Division-Villages "Les Petits Fers" Oregon Gamay 2018
91
Our Score
(10/2019) No less a voice than Evening Land's Sashi Moorman has proclaimed that Willamette Valley may be more well-suited for making great Gamay than Pinot Noir. That is really saying something! This bottling from Division-Villages has made us believers too. Sourced predominantly from the Umpqua Valley, tasters will be stunned this isn't a lovely Fleurie or Cote-de-Brouilly. This is very open from the moment you pop the cork, with striking notes of strawberry, violet, Mediteranean herb, and a refreshing chalky mouthfeel. As friendly as a red can be, it is impossible not to smile through a glass or three of this wine.

(6/29/2018) "The 2017 Chardonnay opens with exuberant green guava, warm peaches and pineapple notions with touches of almond croissant and acacia honey. Medium to full-bodied, the concentrated palate is packed with tropical and stone fruit flavors with a pleasant oiliness to the texture and a long savory finish."

Maloof Wines "Where Ya PJ's At?" Willamette Valley Pinot Gris/Riesling 2018
91+
Our Score
(9/2019) This singular blend of Pinot Gris and Riesling was produced to create a kind of rose without actually using any red fruit. The Pinot Gris is fermented on the skins for 21 days, a small portion via carbonic maceration, with the Riesling being fermented and pressed separately before blending, all with indigenous yeast and without fining or filtration. The result is a "rose" that exhibits a ton of dried red and white flowers on the nose supported by blood orange and juicy pink grapefruit. This is a staff favorite for its supreme drinkability and the fact that it simply tastes like nothing else out there. Only a few cases made it to Chicago so now is your chance!

Venica "Jesera" Collio Pinot Grigio 2018
91
Our Score
(10/2019) This may be the richest Pinot Grigio we have had in years. There was just enough skin contact during fermentation to allow the pinkish skin of the Pinot Grigio grape to impart an ever so slight pink hue to the finished wine. Not quite Rose in color, but noticeable. The skin contact has given the wine incredible grip and palate presence. Extremely fresh in the mouth with a flowery, pear-like flavor that also includes a dab of strawberry. A very clean and melony finish. Great complexity which will put this in the realm of a great Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris.

Vinous, Ian D'Agata
(8/2019) "Bright red. Pure nose offers red cherry and raspberry fruit aromas complicated by herbs and minerals. Suave and rather tightly wound, but nicely lifted by salty minerality that accentuates the bright red fruit flavors. Finishes firmly tannic but not drying, with outstanding persistence. Simply a great entry level Etna Rosso. Drink 2019 - 2022."

Vinous, Ian D'Agata
(6/2019) "Luminous medium-dark straw yellow. Aromas and flavors of chamomile and balsamic oils along with hints of pear and minerals on the inviting nose. Enters a little subdued, but finishes very strong and long. This builds on you slowly; think of it more like a marathon runner rather than a 100 yards sprinter. Drinking window: 2019 - 2023."

(3/27/2019) "One of the finest vintages of this cuvee to date, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Les Champauvins (70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Mourvedre) is a brilliant, sexy, medium to full-bodied Cotes du Rhone that offers a spectacular bouquet of garrigue, peppery herbs, pine, and sweet red and black fruits. With beautiful complexity, a layered, seamless texture, notable tannins, and a great finish, it easily competes with any number of more expensive Chateauneuf-du-Papes and Gigondas. It's great today yet will keep for 7-8 years."

Selbach-Oster Mosel Riesling Kabinett 2017
92
Wine Advocate
(6/28/2019) "Predominantly from the Zeltinger Himmelreich, the 2017 Riesling Kabinett is bright and subtle on the ripe, fruity, slightly mineral and herbal, very elegant and refined nose with its delicate slate aromas. Salty-piquant and fresh on the aromatic and fruity but lithe and crystalline palate, this is another Mosel Kabinett at its best. The sweetness of less than 30 grams per liter is just charming here, where it is combined with 9.5% alcohol. This is a highly stimulating, fresh and grippy Kabinett that you can enjoy even in the sun at 35 degrees Celsius. Drink Date 2020 - 2035."

Caruso & Minini "Naturalmente Bio" Sicilia Nero d'Avola 2018

Vinous, Ian D'Agata
(8/2019) "Vivid red-ruby. Aromas and flavors of violet, dried herbs, juicy plum and blueberry. Fresh and supple, with harmonious acidity nicely framing the sweet red/blue fruit, echoes that linger nicely on the clean, crisp, long finish. About 50% of the wine is aged for a few months in barriques, the other half in stainless steel. A bright, fruity version of Nero d'Avola that once you start sipping you'll find having trouble letting go of your glass."

Mastroberardino "Radici" Fiano di Avellino 2016
A really lovely Fiano, gaining depth and intensity with air. Lovely wine, and at Vin Chicago - nearly half off the $30 Reference Price!

(11/2018) "Pale golden-tinged straw. Herbs, hazelnut and apricot complicate green apple aromas. Ripe and suave, but good juicy cut lifts the pomaceous orchard fruit and saline flavors on the long back end. Strikes me as another very successful Fiano Radici, deeper than many other recent vintages. Drinking Window: 2018 - 2026."
