(7/31/2017) "Minerally and rich-tasting, with finely crafted flavors of apple, citrus, pear and spice that are supported by fresh acidity. Crunchy dried savory notes power the finish. Drink now through 2021."

Helen & Joey Estate "Inara" Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2016
91
Our Score
(10/2017) We absolutely LOVE this wine and cannot wait for you to try it! An initial pop of tropical fruit on the nose extends to the palate with flavors of pineapple, mango and Meyer lemon curd. Stony minerality is complemented by a sophisticated mouthfeel from the lees contact and five months in Troncais oak. The complexity is what sets the Inara Chardonnay apart from the crowd. Only 333 cases produced. If you need the perfect pairing for grilled chicken, grilled vegetables or even spicy tuna at your favorite sushi BYO, you'll want to grab a case of this estate grown gem.

(6/2017) This Italian dessert wine, from the region of Soave in the Veneto, is produced from 100% Garganega grapes that are planted in volcanic soils of the "Col Foscarin" vineyard. Organically farmed, the grapes are are harvested and then stored in wood crates for about six months to dry out prior to being pressed.

Perfect pairing with light pastries or blue cheese and candied walnuts.

Emile Beyer Alsace Pinot Blanc 2017
90+
Our Score
(11/2018) According to Christian Beyer, the 14th generation of his family to work in the region, this 2017 Pinot Blanc is the best they've bottled since 2010. A blend 60% Auxerrois and 40% Pinot Blanc, made exclusively from wild yeasts, it tastes of baked citrus and ripe orchard fruits including lemon, pear and yellow apple. The wine is exceptionally fresh, with wonderful balancing acidity and a long, medium-bodied finish. Delicious by itself, with autumn/winter soups or roast chicken.

WillaKenzie Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Gris 2016

Wine Enthusiast
(8/1/2017) "All stainless, no malolactic and widely available distribution make this a pure-blooded warm weather go-to white wine. It's young and still a bit yeasty, aromatic with scents of seeds and grains. Tightly wound fruit flavors of apple and green melon come with good depth and texture."

(12/31/2017) "Espresso, sanguine and gamey flavors give this firm red a savory character, but there's a core of plum and currant fruit. Offers a good balance of firm tannins, balsamic acidity and dense texture. Drink now through 2023. 1,000 cases made. Smart Buy"

La Boutanche "Rouge" Vin de France Rouge 2017 1.0 LT
89
Our Score
(11/2018) The new La Boutanche "Rouge" from Martin Texier is a blend of primarily Syrah with a dash of Grenache. Martin's offerings simply keep getting better and better! Fresh and bright with just the right amount of spice, smoke and lingering notes of bacon fat to go along with the beautiful floral aromatics in a dangerously chug-able package. This is all you could want in everyday Rhone wine.

Dr. Konstantin Frank Finger Lakes Semi Dry Riesling 2016

(10/31/2017) "The 2016 Semi-Dry Riesling comes in with 11.5% alcohol, 25 grams per liter of residual sugar and 7.3 grams of total acidity. Sourced from Seneca Lake, this Semi-Dry is pretty terrific this year (and in many others). Full in the mouth, it finishes with a somewhat sweet edge but the underlying acidity cuts the sugar nicely. The finish lingers, with acidity, sugar and fruit well balanced. As it warms it leans more to the sex appeal side of the ledger but the juicy finish also has a burst of acidity that manages to hold the sugar in check. At the price point this is a can't-miss bargain. It should age rather well, too. The sugar will no doubt fade a bit in time.Drink Date 2017 - 2026."

(12/1/2013) "Initially austere in the mouth, this is a serious and complex wine. It has firm tannins, layers of blackberry fruits and acidity along with a strong feeling of wood aging. Powerful and with good depth, it's a wine that needs age."
