Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$120.00Add to cartChappellet is recognized as one of the great Napa Valley wineries, and one of the few which remains family owned.
This is their flagship wine and we love it.
The 2019 is beautiful now (especially on these cold nights) but can easily stand up to aging. It’s luxuriously dark and concentrated. It’s all dark berries and cherries, spice and chocolate. Full-bodied with supple tannins, the long finish is where the complexity unfolds.
77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 8% Malbec, and 3% Merlot.

Chateau Beausejour Puisseguin Saint-Emilion Cuvee Speciale 2021
$36.00Add to cartThe Dupuy family has been in Puisseguin since the Middle Ages. Marceau Dupuy, a doctor and politician, bought Chateau Beauséjour in 1934. It is still 40 acres of vineyard planted mostly with Merlot and a bit of Cabernet Franc on the clay and limestone terrain of Saint Emilion. This wine is opulent and has beautiful Bordeaux flavors for a great price.

Chateau d’Yquem Sauternes 2013 375ml
$330.00Add to cart -
Chateau de Chaintres Saumur Champigny Vieilles Vignes 2020
$31.00Add to cartWe love the Loire, it’s the garden of France, and the wines almost across the board retain a beautiful earthiness. While the Tigny family has owned this 17th century chateau since the 1930s it was the addition of cellar master Jean-Philippe Louis that they really stepped up their game, converting the estate to biodynamics, hand picking, and allowing for spontaneous fermentation.
The vines that plunge the deepest into the tuffeau soils of the vineyards range from 50 to 80 years of age. Despite the concentration and structure a sense of freshness permeates this wine—making it “très digeste”. Graceful tannins and an assertive underlying minerality contribute a salty-savory edge to the fruit.

Chateau de Montfaucon Lirac Rose 2023
$32.00Add to cartThis wine hails from just across the Rhone river from Châteauneuf-du-Pape in Lirac and comes from a winemaker who returned home to focus on sustainable winemaking in Barossa and at Vieux Telegraphe. Delicious, complex, and highly drinkable.
-
Chateau Doisy Vedrines Sauternes 375ml 2016
$44.00Add to cartWe can wax poetic about Sauternes all day. These naturally sweet beauties are the perfect way to round out a delicious meal or offset a smoky, fatty dish mid meal. The contrast of the sweet and smoky unctuous-ness is one of life’s little joys.
-
Chateau Feuillet Petite Arvine Valle d’Aosta
$40.00Add to cartThe Valle d’Aosta is at the tippy top corner of Italy along the French border and boast some of the highest mountain peaks in the Alpine range. The warm mountain days and cool nights preserve acidity and the sandy granite soils make the grapes struggle, developing character. The wine has a mineral streak but is like tasting the blossoms in the sunny fields with electric citrus fruit.
-
Chateau Giscours, Margaux 2016
$120.00Add to cartA third growth that showcases the excellent terroir of Margaux, specifically the deep gravel that helps ripen the Left Bank grapes. Delicious, deep, and has the potential to age.

-
Chateau Haut Brion Premier Grand Cru Classe Pessac Loegnan 2018
$890.00Add to cartHaut Brion has been revered for centuries as one of the world’s greatest wines. Favored by kings, presidents (Thomas Jefferson was a noted fan), and the upper echelons of the wine industry, it hasn’t lost a step. This is a complex, deeply layered wine that will continue to get better for the next few decades (if not longer).

Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay 2021
$96.00Add to cartThis wine is legendary. It turned the wine world’s conception of quality on its head it took first place in the legendary 1973 “Judgement of Paris,” a competition that the French expected to sweep. Today Montelena is California wine-royalty and always worth tasting.
-
Chateau Pradeaux Bandol Rose 2023
$35.00Add to cartA Provençal estate that has been in the hands of the Portalis family since before the French Revolution. Today the estate is worked organically, and sheep graze between the vines for a large part of the year. Their reds are brooding Mourvedres but the rosé is a more balanced blend of Mourvedre and Cinsault. Fermented in concrete, the resulting wine is one of the richest rosés around that is dry with a full body and a rich floral nose.
-
Chateau Rieussec Sauternes 375ml 2105
$80.00Add to cartAn excellent Sauternes estate that overdelivers at its price point. Acquired by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in 1984, they have steadily been developing a larger and larger following. In 2004 they were declared wine of the year by Wine Spectator. We love this bottle and it will be delicious today, tomorrow, and decades from now (if you can keep yourself from drinking it that long).
-
Chateau Soucherie Anjou Blanc 2022

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.

$160.00Add to cartA double magnum of precise and delicious Provençal rosé—enough for the whole family.
-
Clos Cibonne Cuvee Tradition Tibouren 2022
$54.00Add to cartThis is a special Provençal rose from one of the most venerable producers featuring the little known Tibouren grape as the star. And it’s not only unique, it’s delicious. The organic Tibouren comes from vineyards close to the sea in the shadow of the Maures mountains which provide a great backing corridor for wind to keep the grapes healthy. The wine is made in stainless like most rosés but it spends a year in oak foudres aging on the lees under a thin layer of flor which imparts both flavor and texture.
-

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.
-
Cosimo Taurino Notarpanaro Rosso 2012
$25.00Add to cartThis wine is an easy recommendation and hopped right out the gates as a staff favorite (especially for Will) showing that no matter the price point you can find wines with depth and soul.
Hailing from Lecce in Puglia (the heel of the Italian boot) where most wine is made in bulk to be drunk out of a jug comes a wine that’s rustic and earthy while still being classic and elegant. This is Grand Cru Puglia, a diamond in the rough?
Cosimo Taurino takes his wines seriously, holding them back for years to tame the tannins and allow them to harmonize in the bottle. This current release is a 2012!
-
Cristom Vineyards Mt. Jefferson Cuvee Pinot Noir 2022
$45.00Add to cartThis is an excellent entry level Pinot from a serious west coast producer. It’s beautifully rich with delicious complexity and great acid. This is a daily drinker for Oregon Pinot fans.
-
Crocker & Starr Napa Cabernet Franc 2019 750ml
$90.00Add to cartThis is a prestige Cabernet Franc that acts as an introduction to the Crocker & Starr portfolio. When Charlie Crocker was looking for a winemaker to take the reigns of his Napa estate after decades of selling grapes and making wine for friends and family he chose winemaker Pam Starr because of her gorgeous Bordeaux-styled California wines at Spottswoode. This blend is based on the right bank of Bordeaux and is led by Cabernet Franc which gives the wine a gorgeous and earthy lift.
-
Dal Forno Romano Amarone Monte Lodoletta 2017 750ml
$504.00Add to cartThis is a wine that will reward patience. Like most Amarone’s the Dal Forno is brooding, brimming with dark cherries and violets that play off the spice, earth, and coffee notes that add complexity. This balance between the rich acidity, the savory umami, and the fresh fruit leave this looking like a linebacker dancing a ballet. It’s graceful.
-
Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2009
$75.00Add 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.
-
Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Vielles Vignes 2021
$51.00Add to cartThis Chablis is a delight to drink. It’s everything we like in a young Chablis: crisp, elegant, textured, and possessing a hidden, stony depth that teases itself out across your palate. These wines can age if you have the patience and fortitude to not drink them.
