Wine & Spirits
(8/2016) "Tight bubbles surge through a tide of lemon and saline flavors, creating a fine texture that's balanced by mouthwatering acidity. Refreshing and ready for Wellfleet oysters."

Cave de Bissey Cremant de Bourgogne Brut NV
90
Our Score
(12/2018) Our favorite Cremant is back! Blending 60% Aligote with 30% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, this latest bottling of Cave de Bissey, from the Burgundy region of France, packs a lot of flavor and finesse. Super fresh and lively, it explodes on the palate with concentrated flavors of orchard and citrus fruits along with a hint of butter cookie and white floral notes. A crazy amount of complexity, polish, balance and flavor for the price!

(11/30/2017) "Moving to the red and made from 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Chateau D'Aiguilhe is also brilliant and well worth seeking out. Sporting a vibrant ruby/purple color as well as gorgeous notes of black raspberries and blue fruits, violates, bouquet garni, and spring flowers, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, bright acidity, and firm tannin, all of which give it a masculine feel, despite having plenty of upfront fruit. This is a beautiful Cotes de Castillon that will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and keep for a decade or more."

Chateau Juvenal "Les Ribes du Vallat" Ventoux Rouge 2016
The price-to-deliciousness ratio on this Philipe Cambie-produced, certified-organic gem is astounding!
93
Jeb Dunnuck
(10/2017) "Even better and one of the best values I've seen in a long time, the 2016 Ventoux Les Ribes du Vallat checks in as a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah brought up all in stainless steel. It offers a huge nose of garrigue, saddle leather, rare meat and loads of blackcurrant fruit. With full-bodied richness, a ripe, decadent, opulent profile and no hard edges, it's a no-brainer purchase and ideal for drinking over the coming 2-4 years."

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(12/2017) "One of the stars of the vintage, the 2015 Troplong Mondot has come together beautifully over the last year and half. Rich and sumptuous to the core, it is a classic wine from this property, built on serious fruit density and textural richness. Dark red cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather and spice are some of the many notes that build as the 2015 shows off its irrepressible personality. A viscerally exciting, resonant wine, it just needs a few years to shed some of its baby fat. Tasted two times. Drinking window: 2025 - 2040."

We've just reloaded on Vailia's kick-butt Sauvignon Blanc!
91
Our Score
(11/2018) Winemaker Vailia From turned out 697 cases of this full throttle beauty! The wine sings of the warm Santa Barbara County sunshine. Sourced from two excellent vineyards (McGinley and Presqu'ile), it is loaded with a mixed basket of ripe, juicy and pure fruit flavors including green apple, melon, lemon and lime zest, white grapefruit, guava, mango and more. Fresh green herbs and a hint of bell pepper round out the delightful list. Full and explosive on the palate, this intense, energetic and complex Sauvignon Blanc offers up immediate thirst quenching juiciness and refreshment that carries through to a long, balanced and oh-so-delicious finish.

Domaine des Cotes Blanches Sancerre Blanc 2017
90+
Our Score
(8/2018) Bang-for-the-buck and Sancerre are not terms that are often used together. Due to our direct import relationship with the Millet family, their Cotes Blanches is a rare exception. With tantalizing flavors of pink grapefruit, tangerine, green apple and guava, this 2017 Sancerre is a totally delicious wine. A few swirls bring out even more nuance, including green bell pepper tones and a core of salty chalk. The bright and super lively finish makes this a bottle you can't put down, with or without food.

Etienne Doue "Cuvee Selection" Brut Champagne NV
91+
Our Score
(12/2018) Imagine, a serious and quite scrumptious artisan Champagne that sells for roughly $10 to $15 per bottle LESS than the big production brands. Crazy! A better grower Champagne simply cannot be found at this price! Etienne, with help from daughter Virginie, crafts this wine from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. Creamy orchard fruit and yellow flower flavors swirl across the finely moussed palate. Totally enticing, and simply delicious.

Guiborat "Prisme.13" Grand Cru Champagne NV
93
Our Score
(12/2018) Richard and Karine Fouquet farm eight hectares in the Grand Cru villages of Cramant and Chouilly. They sell most of their fruit to large houses, retaining a small amount to bottle under their own Guiborat label. While designated as nonvintage, the "Prisme.13" consists entirely of fruit from the excellent 2013 vintage. Disgorged in early 2017, it is replete with high-pitched tension and chalk-themed minerality. The palate is generous and concentrated, giving ripe lemon and yellow apple fruits on the long, complex, nicely textured finish.

Justin Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
90
Our Score
(12/2018) Justin Baldwin is one of the pioneers of Paso Robles. After 30 years, he still makes a great bottle of Cabernet! Bright and full of black cherry, cedar, loam, tobacco and dill flavors, the 2016 Justin is truly charming from the get-go. An ideal partner to lasagna, barbecued brisket, flank steak and all things hearty.
