2021 Domaine Santa Duc Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Les Saintes Vierges’
This single-vineyard wine comes from 70-year-old vines, co-planted by the legendary 6th-generation winemaker, Yves Gras. Domaine Santa Duc has been one of the top producers in the region for years, and this wine is a great example of why. If you’re a points person, it received 93-95 points across the board.
Ecocert-certified organic and Demeter-certified biodynamic, hand-harvested, unfined/unfltered and aged for 18 months in Stockinger foudres (the Rolls-Royce of oak).

2016 Baron de Brane Margaux Bordeaux MAGNUM
This wine is Brane-Cantenac’s (2nd growth Margaux) second label. It’s an awesome deal for 2016 Bordeaux from Henri Lurton. 2016 was a legendary vintage – some call it the vintage of the century. Don’t sleep on this!
Sustainable farming practices, fermented in stainless steel + concrete vats and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (20% new oak).

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.

2022 Anza Diego Magaña Rioja
This Tempranillo-dominant red is a very elegant example of Rioja made from high-quality grapes and meticulous winemaking. If you typically like red blends or Cabernet Sauvignon, give this a try for your next BBQ!
Sustainably farmed 50+ year old bush vines. The wine was aged for 12 months in barrel and only 1,800 cases are produced annually.
