2022 Guido Porro Dolcetto d’Alba
Ever wonder what the locals drink in Barolo, Italy? They drink Dolcetto. Dolcetto is a somms secret weapon. It pairs with charcuterie, duck breast, roast chicken, short rib, and the list goes on. It’s a smooth intro to Italy and THE red to have on hand for a dinner party.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvest, family-owned, native yeast fermentation, unfiltered and total production is only 3,750 cases annually (across 7 different wines).

NV AR Lenoble Intense Brut Champagne
This grower-producer Champagne has been family-owned since its inception 100 years ago. It’s now run by brother and sister team, Anne and Antoine Malassagne who have kept it incredibly high-quality and impressive.
This is a wonderful bottle to gift or to enjoy on NYE with tapas, pâté-en-croute, or cheese & charcuterie.
Sustainable farming practices, with a strong focus on biodiversity and low intervention. They use organic compost, bees, cover cropping, and hand-harvesting to maintain vineyard health.

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.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation and aged for 12 months in barrel.
-
NV Pascal Mazet Champagne ‘Unique’ Brut Premier Cru
This is an incredible grower Champagne from Pascal and Catherine Mazet. 60% of this wine is from the 2014 vintage as they age their wines for a minimum 5 years before release. It has depth, complexity and elegance – I am as completely smitten with this bottle of bottles.
Certified organic farming practices with a focus on soil biodiversity, native yeast fermentation, maturation in oak barrels and sur lie aging for 7 years.

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.
-
2021 Evening Land Salem Wine Co ‘Eola-Amity Hills’ Pinot Noir
Evening Land Vineyards is the Oregon-based brainchild of Sashi Moorman and Raj Parr, two of California’s most revered winemakers and sommeliers.
There is no hiding the energy of the cool climate Eola-Amity Hills here. Fresh, light-bodied, a flash of spice on the palate adds zip to what is an immensely ‘drinkable now’ wine with a polished and lively finish.
Biodynamic farming practices, LIVE certified, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation and aged 16 months in neutral 228L barrels, only 4,100 bottles produced
-
2018 Lucien Crochet Sancerre Rouge ‘La Croix du Roy’ (half-bottle)
Sancerre rouge is kind of like the forgotten child. The region is famous for its crisp, aromatic whites, but Lucien Crochet has quietly been producing some of the best old vine Pinot Noir in the region.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, 22 months in a combo of stainless steel and neutral french oak barrels.
-
NV Veuve Fourny & Fils Champagne Brut ‘Grands Terroirs’ Premier Cru
This Champagne comes from 30 year old vines with 2.5 years of aging in bottle before release. The result is a sleek, elegant Champagne that has roundness along with the astonishing freshness and finesse. This is a great bang for your buck.

2022 Domaine Garnier et Fils Chablis AOC
We recently invited some fellow Chablis-loving clients to join us in a blind tasting of 17 different bottles of Chablis. This wine was voted #1. Enough said. This is a must-try.
Organic farming practices, native yeast fermentation, aged on the lees in stainless steel tanks for 11 months and filtered before bottling (no fining).
-
2022 Pierre Riffault ‘7 Hommes’ Sancerre (half-bottle)
Sancerre is the “spiritual home” of Sauvignon Blanc. It’s considered to be the purest expression of Sauvignon Blanc on the planet and a wine we love for its versatility when it comes to food. It pairs well with light green salads and Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese of course, but Sancerre comes to life alongside vibrant fish dishes like seafood thai curry.
This wine comes from 25+ year old vines that are sustainably farmed in clay-limestone and chalk soils. It’s vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness.

2020 Contratto Metodo Classico Pas Dose Millesimato
You are drinking history when you pop this cork. This 19th century estate is the birthplace of Metodo Classico and these wines have graced the tables of not only the Vatican, but also the House of Savoy (the Italian Royal Family), as well as the British monarchy throughout history. This is dry, refreshing and incredibly food friendly.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation, 36 months on the lees, hand-riddled, and around 7,000 cases produced annually.

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.
-
2022 Lieu Dit Santa Ynez Valley Sauvignon Blanc
This Santa Barbara Sauvignon Blanc is very Sancerre in style. Lean, mineral-driven, and utterly refreshing. A household staple of mine and a crowd-pleaser at dinner parties. Drink with your favorite Thai takeout, salty popcorn, a big leafy green salad or a filet of salmon.
Sustainable/organic farming practices, hand-harvested grapes, native yeast fermentation, low-sulfur and minimal intervention winemaking.
-
2022 Centopassi ‘Giato’ Grillo & Catarratto
Libera Terra is a non-profit organization that has taken on the restoration of land in Italy that was previously controlled by the mafia. Centopassi is a collection of vineyards on Sicily that they confiscated from the mafia and gave back to the local farmers. The result are wines that are distinctively Sicilian – bright, refreshing, salty & volcanic – la dolce vita in a glass.
Certified organic farming practices, hand-harvested, and less than 3,000 cases produced annually.
-

2022 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint Aubin

-
Topa Topa Level Line Pale Ale 6-Pack
As you wade in the current, the work week fades to gray. When the line strikes and you begin that delicate dance, there’s no choice but to be in the moment. The refreshing citrus aromas and woodsy notes are like the creek passing through the forest. It’s a West Coast Pale Ale for a West Coast way of life.
-
2019 Domaine Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Les Champeaux’ Premier Cru
This wine is for a Pinot Noir oenophile.
The ‘Les Champeaux’ premier cru vineyard was planted in 1987 on the northern edge of Gevrey-Chambertin. It’s located high up on the slope with south-east facing exposure which allows for slow and steady ripening. The result is a wine with great purity, structure and incredibly silky tannins.
Biodynamic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation, unfined/unfiltered, vegan-friendly, and only 75 cases produced.
-
