This estate always makes a terrific Crozes, and the 2020 vintage coming from 20-30 year old vines is no exception. Ripe and distinctive, this wine is rounded, medium-bodied, and beautifully balanced with loads of charm and appeal. Drink it now or over the coming 4-6 years.

2022 Bachelet-Monnot Maranges ‘La Fussiere’ Blanc Premier Cru
Fruit for this 1er cru White Burgundy comes from the highest vineyard site in Maranges (avg. 30 years in age). This is a sneaky premier cru that I think would keep an eye on. It may be the best valued Burgundy on the market.

2023 E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis Dolcetto d’Alba

2021 Walson Holland Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
The 2021 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir is a wine of elegance and nuance. Blueberry, black cherry and rich red fruit dominate the nose with subtle notes of rose petal, baking spices and clove beautifully woven together giving the wine layer upon layer of complexity. The bright fruit leads to a rich and full mid-palate, ripe tannins, ample acidity and a lengthy finish.
Whole cluster. Raised 22 months on the lees in French oak barrels, 30% new oak. Unfined and Unfiltered. 150 cases produced.
-

Evening Land Vineyards is the Oregon-based brainchild of Sashi Moorman and Raj Parr, two of California’s most revered winemakers and sommeliers.

2019 Portelli Cerasuolo di Vittoria
We’re not sure if yummy is an official tasting note, but that’s what this wine is. The 2019 is a bright and energetic vintage; velvety and fresh. The blend of Frappato and Calabrese is a perfect marriage, balanced and complete. There is enough vibrance and freshness to drink well on its own, but just enough tannin and acid to be versatile at table.
Organic and biodynamic viticulture.
-
2023 Cantina Cinque Terre Bianco DOC
The 2023 Cantina Cinque Terre Bianco DOC is an incredibly refreshing, light, and zippy white wine crafted from 10-80 year-old native vines. Each varietal in the blend contributes to a distinctive coastal character, making this wine a true reflection of its Ligurian roots. Expect scents of scent of limoncino and fresh Mediterranean herbs with vibrant acidity, and a crisp and clean finish.
Team Argaux tip: Try this with the new Gnocchi Pesto Genovese recipe from Peter Neptune, MS and our Fall wine club drop! It is BOMB.
Sustainable farming. Fermentation and aging in stainless steel. Five months lees aging.
-
2022 Raventós i Blanc Conca del Riu Anoia Brut Rosé ‘de Nit’
There’s a long story behind the fact that one of the very best Cava producers doesn’t label their wine “Cava.” Don’t worry about it. The wine here is stunning, salty and pure and very long and refreshing and while distinctly “Cava,” very much grower-Champagne quality.
Certified organic & practicing biodynamic farming, hand-harvested, dry-farmed, native yeast fermentation, and 18-month sur-lie aging before disgorgement.
-
2018 Lucien Crochet Sancerre Rouge ‘La Croix du Roy’ (half-bottle)

-
2022 Domaine Garnier et Fils Chablis AOC

-
2021 Clefs des Murailles ‘Vacqueyras’ Rouge Red Blend
Let’s face it, we all love CDP (Chateauneuf-du-Pape), but most of us can’t afford to pull those corks on a daily basis. That is where ‘Vacqueyras’ comes in. It’s swimming in the next lane, with eerily similar characteristics, at a lower price. This is one of my party trick wines (looks pricey and tastes pricier).
Sustainable farming practices, woman-winemaker.
-
2021 Domaine Pinson Frères Chablis ‘Les Clos’ Grand Cru
For those who love Chablis, you know that ‘Les Clos’ is the emblematic, top Grand Cru of Chablis. The 50+ year old vines sit on a steep slope and enjoy the perfect sun exposure which provides ideal ripening conditions. 2021 for Chablis is adamantly old-school in its tension and inscrutably mineral depths. If you had to describe the vintage in one word it would be ‘aristocratic.’
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation in 80% stainless steel tanks, 20% new oak and aged in 3-4 year old barrels.
-

The result are wines that are distinctively Sicilian – bright, refreshing, salty & volcanic – la dolce vita in a glass.

2022 Clos La Coutale Cahors Malbec
Cahors is the sneakily sophisticated but humbler country cousin of Bordeaux that is loaded with personality. We are in the season of stews, roasts and game, and this earthy and spicy Cahors is our new go-to rouge. It’s a crowd-pleaser that won’t break the bank.
Organic farming practices and aged for a year in French oak barrels.
-
