Bodegas Albamar Albarino 2023
$34.00Add to cartA gorgeous wine from Rias Baixas, the North West bit of Spain that hangs just over Portugal and sticks out into the Atlantic. It’s all decomposed granitic soils and Atlantic influence that leave the wine tasting like salty, stony citrus. Perfect for pairing with seafood or drinking on its own.

Borgo San Daniele I Mauri Friulano 2022
$36.00Add to cartA fun wine made with the Friuliano grape (formerly called Tocai Friuliano) that’s floral, but maintains a nice core of orchard fruit and light citrus.

Cantina Santa Maria la Palma Aragosta Vermentino di Sardegna 2022
$16.00Add to cartThe label tells you almost everything you need to know about this well-priced Vermentino: it’s a fabulous seafood wine. But we think it’s just as good chilled down on its own. A true delight.

Chateau Lynch-Bages Blanc de Lynch-Bages, Bordeaux, 2020
$120.00Add to cartWe came late to this and could only grab 2 bottles but the reviews for this wine are stellar across the internet. We suspect this will be gone before anyone gets a chance read this but here’s what we can tell you. 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle. 1990 was the first vintage this wine was produced and the 2020 is the first vintage with new equipment to more precisely control oxygen levels and temperatures. Fermented in oak (50% new) and aged on the lees for 6 months the Lynch Bages Blanc is one of the most rewarding drinking experiences in white wine.

Chateau Soucherie Anjou Blanc 2022
$27.00Add to cartThis wine comes from one of the most beautiful Chateau in all of France. Roger Beguinot’s Chateau Soucherie which is being guided towards 100% organic viticulture by Beguinot’s assistant, the maitre de chai, is the young Thibaud Boudignon who favors “agriculture integrée”. This cuvée is vinified from 100% Chenin Blancsourced from the vineyard site “Les Rangs de Long” which is on the northern part of the estate but with south-southeastern exposure.

Cooper Mountain Vineyards Pinot Gris 2022
$24.00Add to cartThis wine is fresh like a spring morning. It’s in that Goldilocks zone of not too sweet and not too dry but full of flavor–and comes at a great price point.
-
Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2010
$96.00Add to cartThis is a fascinating wine. Most people’s conception of Chablis is that it should be drunk young, preferably with oysters, but this wine provides an aged counter-point. It has a nutty and almost sherry-like nose that you would think is prematurely oxidized, but the palate is so fresh it’s like sucking on an electric lemon.
-
Domaine de Sacy Sancerre Blanc 2023
$35.00Add to cartA delicious sustainable Sancerre from a passionate winemaker practicing polyculture in the fields—a longstanding tradition in Sancerre.
-
Domaine Francois Raveneau, Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 1er, 2006 1.5L
$1,705.00Add to cartPeach blossom and faint honey on the nose. Faded flavors of apple tart with chablis minerality holding the wine together. Less austere than some version of the wine.
-
Domaine Guiberteau 2020 Saumur Blanc Breze
$145.00Add to cartOne of the most sought after producers in the Loire. The wines of Domaine Guiberteau are for those really in the know. The legendary Becky Wasserman has this to say about Guiberteau: Romain Guiberteau owns some of the best land in Brézé, and makes dry chenins of punk rock violence, yet of Bach-like logic and profoundness.
This wine from Brézé is one of the peaks of Chenin Blanc. It’s incredibly dry with ripping texture and acid. It’s like watching a linebacker dance ballet.
-
Domaine Long-Depaquit (Albert Bichot), Chablis, Le Clos Grand Cru, 2020
$125.00Add to cartThis is great Chablis. Still a tad young but starting to coalesce. Expect peak drinking around 2026-2035 (wow can’t believe I just wrote 2035!) Right now the minerality dominates and truncates what will certainly be a more fruit driven finish in the future.
-
Domaine Long-Depaquit (Albert Bichot), Chablis, Vaudesir Grand Cru, 2020
$125.00Add to cartFrom 47 year old vines the wine is just coming into its prime drinking and will continue to be fresh and beautiful for another 7 to 10 years. This is a very fine example of the Vaudesir site and an excellent Chablis.
-
Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Aligote 2023
$59.00Add to cartSylvain Cathiard is one of the great winemakers of Burgundy. A Vosne specialist, he primarily focuses on Pinot, but also has this delightful Aligote, a grape that we are thankful to see on a successful rise over the past few years. If you don’t know the grape, this is the perfect introduction.
-
Foxen Chenin Blanc Ernesto Wickenden Vineyard 2023
$39.00Add to cartFoxen is a legend in Santa Barbara wine country. Founded by Dick Doré and Bill Wathen in the late 70s it wasn’t until the late 80’s that they got their license (the 13th in the region which now is home to over 200). They work with some of the best fruit in the region where winemaker David Whitehair seeks to express the fruit cleanly.
This wine (and all the estate fruit) is an anomaly in the region as Foxen has own-rooted, dry farmed grapes on their estate. The fact that they can do this is quite frankly wild. In a place where pretty much everyone irrigates they don’t have to. The quirks of geography can be a funny thing. This chenin is proof that great wines can come from unlikely corners of the world.

Jean Claude Thevenet Macon Blanc 2022
$22.00Add to cartA fun little wine from the Mâconnais, the southern portion of Burgundy where the sun shines a little hotter than the more storied northern portions. The fruit is bigger and the acid is lower, and this is the perfect pick for those who like their Chards a little more rounded.
-
Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Sainte Claire 2023
$32.00Add to cartThis is a classic fresh Chablis, everything you want when you think fresh, drinkable Chardonnay. And for the price it’s a can’t miss.
-
La Rivolta Fiano 2022
$28.00Add to cartIn antiquity, the Fiano grape was known as apiana, as its sweet berries were attractive to bees. Vines were traditionally found near hazelnut orchards, which has seemingly influenced the grape’s flavor profile. However, it is in the town of Avellino where the Fiano grape produces its most mineral-driven wines with long aging potential.
The Cotroneo family has embraced a sustainable approach to viticulture, and the beautiful organic vineyards of Fattoria La Rivolta are nestled among the picturesque and mountainous landscapes of Campania’s Taburno DOC, one of the smallest in Sicily. The wines they produce are delicious.
This is a beautifully delicate wine, with hints of fresh fruit, almond, hazelnut, citrus fruits, herbs, white flowers, and dried flowers. On the palate, this is a full-bodied wine with light fruit and floral notes.
-
Ladoucette Comte LaFond Grande Cuvee Sancerre 2022
$86.00Add to cartOne of the finest Sancerres in the Loire from a producer, Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, who has been on the forefront of pushing the appellation worldwide. This cuvée is gravity fed and ages on the lees in stainless to preserve freshness while still developing complexity.
-
Le Monde Pinot Grigio 2022
$22.00Add to cartA fun Friulian white wine that brings the best of Pinot Grigio. It’s fresh, floral, and has a mineral complexity. The orchard fruits are balanced between the flowers and medium alcohol and acidity.
-
Licia Albarino 2023
$22.00Add to cartWe absolutely love this wine. An Albariño from Rias Baixas, the northwestern-most part of Spain, the Licia is crisp and precise and tastes of the decomposed granite that comprises the soils in the region.
-
Lucien Crochet Sancerre Blanc 2023
$39.00Add to cartA producer who is one of the most important to legendary importer Neal Rosenthal who he found at the very beginning of his career on a recommendation. This wine is a beautiful expression of Sancerre that spends a good amount of time on the fine lees to add texture to the already expressive fruit.
-
Marnaveli Rkatsiteli 2022

Massican Gemina 2022
$52.00Add to cartA wine from Dan Petroski, one of the most venerable producers of “new California” wine who makes wines using the Italian varieties he loves although this one is driven by fleshy napa Chardonnay. This is a wine that is made to be enjoyed young but gains complexity through aging as well.
-
Patrick Piuze Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2023
$90.00Add to cartPatrick Piuze, originally of Montreal (not all winemakers working in France are French), worked for some of the greats like Leflaive, Jean-Marc Brocard and Jean-Marie Guffens before starting his own label in 2008. It may be from Guffens that he picked up some of his iconoclastic ways like hand picking his sourced fruit and fermenting the wines spontaneously. The Montmains fruit comes from all three subclimates of Montmains: Butteaux, Forets, and Montmains. He gets fruit from a half a hectare and this wine tends to be the most austere of the three as there is very little topsoil and the vines grow right on the bedrock.
