Anthill Farms Helluva Vineyard Anderson Valley White
$35.00Add to cartFrom a trio of winemakers who met while working at Sonoma’s Williams Selyem who decided to seek out small plots they could farm themselves in cooler vineyard sites. Still incredibly small in their production they focus on producing transparent wines of exceptional beauty.
The Helluva Vineyard white is a blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Gewürztraminer. It’s flinty and spicy but full of golden apple and lemon meringue notes.

Domaine Cheveau Macon-Fuisse Les Grandes Bruyeres 2022
$29.00Add to cartOne of our staff-favorite value-focused producers in Mâconnais, this wine has a bit more heft than you might think. It’s ripe and powerful but otherwise entirely balanced. A great choice if you like the bigger side of white Burgundy.

Domaine des Baumard Clos du Papillon 2018
$78.00Add to cartThe wines from Clos du Papillon (so-named for its unique butterfly shape) is one of the great examples of Savennières. It has all the delicious mineral infusion from the volcanic rock in the schist soils that deserves more praise than it gets. Overwhelming orchard fruit, white flowers, earthy minerality, and striking acid make this an adventure every time.

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.

Feudi Branciforti dei Bordonaro Terre Siciliane Grillo 2021
$19.00Add to cartAn ancient grape variety that doesn’t get enough press. This is a pure example that captures the freshness Grillo can have in the right hands. The location of the vineyard gives fantastic sunshine and the altitude slows down the development. The result is herbal but still refreshing.

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.

-
Licia Albarino 2022

-
Lucien Crochet Sancerre Blanc 2022
$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.
-
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.

Trimbach Cuvee Frederic Emilie 2016
$139.00Add to cartThe Frederic Emile is a well-known bottle in wine industry circles. It’s always solid but the 2016 vintage is even better than normal. It’s an absolute knockout that is precise, ageworthy and overwhelmingly mineral. The fun comes from accents of mountainous herbs and spices.
