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!

Crocker & Starr Napa Cabernet Franc 2019 750ml

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.

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.

Domaine de la Chapelle Des Bois Fleurie 2021
$23.00Add to cartFrom the heart of Beaujolais comes a delightful gamay. In the vineyards they the principles of lutte raisonnée and minimal intervention in the cellar—spontaneous fermentation, semi-carbonic maceration in cement vats, and aging in 50-year-old wooden casks—produced Beaujolais of vivid fruit, terrific freshness, and structure enough to develop well in bottle. The resulting wine has a vibrant expression of fresh red fruits, delicate tannins, and is very welcoming.

Domaine de Villaine Rully Rouge 1er Crus Cloux 2021
$156.00Add to cartAubert de Villaine is a reluctant legend. Co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée Conti, one of the judges at the “Tasting of Paris,” and owner of today’s allocations from Domaine de Villaine which is nestled in the Côte Chalonnaise (smack dab between Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay to the north and Rully and Mercurey to the south), Villaine has spent a life quietly dedicated to excellence in farming and winemaking.Domaine de Villaine has been the perfect vehicle for Aubert to explore his love of winemaking over the past few decades without the international reputation (and prices) of DRC. Today, the domaine is run by Aubert’s nephew Pierre de Benoist, who shares his uncle’s love of organic agriculture and terrior driven winemaking. The wines they make are pure Burgundy and still offer an exceptional value in a category that rarely sees any.This whole cluster Pinot has a slight reductive quality on opening but opens up in to something deeply textured and dense but still elegant. The racy acidity brings out the delicate earthy, floral, and fruity flavors that are there in abundance. Drink now or cellar for the next 10 years. Let it breathe before tasting to get the most out of it.

Domaine Eden Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$69.00Add to cartIn the heart of the Santa Cruz mountains Domaine Eden is growing some great fruit. While they produce Pinot and Chard the Cabernet is special with critics like Antonio Galloni saying, “This might very well be the best value in artisan, high-end California Cabernet.”
It’s full of dark fruits and is classic Santa Cruz with huge gobs of black fruit and herbs that aren’t over heavy. It will improve with age but is a delight now.

Dorli Muhr Carnuntum 2020
$29.00Add to cartDorli Muhr (along with Dirk van der Niepoort – one of Portugal’s finest winemakers) are two of the larger names responsible for the popularity of Carnuntum Blaufrankish, which comes from a mere 9 miles from the Slovakian capital Bratislava and the southern reaches of Niederösterreich.
Low yields from organic vines make the resulting Dorli Muhr wines something special to behold. Concentration with a light body is the balance that they seek, and it is made easier with the limestone soil beds.
This wine is silky but still powerful. The color shines and echoes the ripe cherry and wild berry flavors, but the fresh bouquet of herbs and flowers dances off the mineral core and keeps us coming back for another sip. This is a wine that is light enough on its feet to be delicious today but can definitely stand some aging.
Pair it with wild game, charcuterie, or sausages.

Foxen Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2020
$50.00Add 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 fruit comes from the cooler pinot plots of Santa Maria which is closer to the coast than Foxen Canyon. The wine is a delightful pinot with all the hallmarks of fruit that benefits from a big shift between the night and day temperatures, and like all great Santa Barbara wines there’s a distinct tell of salinity.

Gai’a Agiorgitiko 2022

The grape has a tendency to grow too vigorously, so the vineyard managers at the excellent Gai’a winery work all season long to keep the vines cropped on these mountain foothills vineyards. The result is a fresh and solid red that is gusty, spicy, and a bit plummy.
