Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 1998
$109.00Add to cartOne of the beautiful things about Chenin Blanc is its ability to age. While this 1998 also happened to come from a classic year with 1/5th of the grapes being affected by botrytis, there’s no heaviness to this wine. It was has lovely notes of dried fruits that balance with the lingering sweetness—and lucky us, it’s in the perfect drinking window.

Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 2002
$99.00Add to cartOne of the beautiful things about Chenin Blanc is its ability to age. This 2002 has recently emerged from an awkward adolescence to become an amazing wine. It’s balanced with the fresh fruit having faded to dry and the acidity and sweetness that were competing have harmonized.

Mt. Beautiful Sauvignon Blanc 2022
$22.00Add to cartThe Mt Beautiful Sauvignon Blanc is a slight departure from the classic New Zealand profile in that it tones down the grassiness and amps up the tropical flavors. It still has a little bit of it but is much more well rounded. We think it’s a great value.

Pichler Krutzler Gruner Veltliner Durnstein 2022
$31.00Add to cartHusband Erich Krutzler and wife Elisabeth Pichler-Krutzler farm 10 hectares (22.2 acres) of vines organically. The Gruner Veltliner wine is sustainable, fresh, and full of stony flavors and fruit. We’d go as far as saying this is an entry-level Austrian wine that will transport you to the Wachau where you can watch the Danube river in your minds eye flow towards Vienna and eventually into the Black Sea.

Proidl Senftenberg Riesling Alte Reben 2021
$41.00Add to cartThe Proidl family winery operates somewhere between tradition and modernity. The Proidls see themselves as craftsmen and mountain winegrowers with a past (they’ve been working the sites since 1738) and a promising future. They are minimalists and want to showcase wines that are made with patience and precision. The results are as precise as one would hope.
The Riesling we are sharing has classic hallmarks of a Riesling grown on granite soils. There’s a fine herbal, savory component that plays off fresh fruit like peach, young citrus, and tart apples, but the mineral core, along with the fresh acid and long finish, makes this a wine that we can see ourselves enjoying just as much (if not more!) ten years from now.
Pair with almost any food, but this will shine with Thai.

Sono Montenidoli Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2023
$36.00Add to cartA gorgeously savory organic whire that’s a favorite of Olivia. Montenidoli’s estate is in the Tuscan hills between Siena and Florence and they produce distinct wines that have impressed other winemaking luminaries across the world.
Olivia’s pick comes from a producer that we’ve carried before but has recently returned to the shop. That’s right, fan (and staff) favorite Tuscan producer Montenidoli is back (for now). This beautifully textured white wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel but has a bit more skin contact than many white wines, imparting a firmer texture and deeper color. Delicious.
