  • Cesari 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella

    Cesari 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella

    Price range: $45.99 through $246.00

    Veneto Italy
    Wine Advocate 92 Rating
    In the bottle with the dark frosted glass, the 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a rich and voluptuous wine with layers of dark fruit, baked plum and sweet barbecue spice. This air-dried blend of 55% Corvina Veronese, 25% Corvinone and 20% Rondinella maintains a classic Amarone profile with moderate complexity and a more approachable 15% alcohol content (which remains on the low end of this high-octane category of reds). There is a flurry of bitter and sweet spice on the close. Cesari counts over 100 hectares of hillside vineyards with different soil profiles ranging from 150 to 500 meters in elevation. This affords the winemaking team plenty of excellent sites to choose from.

    A generous red in an elegant, medium- to full-bodied frame, with notes of mesquite smoke and bay leaf on the nose that form a savory baseline, underscoring the palate’s ripe black currant, green olive, coffee and milled pepper. Well-knit, with supple tannins firming the finish. Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. Drink now through 2030.

  • Chalk Hill Winery 2024 Chardonnay Russian River Valley

    Chalk Hill Winery 2024 Chardonnay Russian River Valley

    Price range: $19.99 through $180.00

    California
    One wine that will never be rated, nor see a top 100 list is the Chalk Hill RRV Chardonnay. That’s not a bad thing – it’s just the winery’s ‘secret Chardonnay.’ It’s never released to the general public or retail, only a few hundred cases are made each year to service the restaurant industry. But luckily for us, I’ve got a restaurant. And while the Sonoma Coast bottling is definitely the ‘calling card’ that you’re used to seeing from this great estate, I’m telling you the Russian River Valley Chardonnay blows that one out of the water. It’s a Nicholas wines all-time favorite.

    Chalone Vineyard 2022 Chardonnay Estate Grown

    Price range: $22.99 through $228.00

    Central Coast California
    Wine Enthusiast 92 Rating
    2022 Estate Grown Chardonnay (Chalone). Precise aromas of lemon and lime meet with undertones of butter and oak on the nose of this wine. The palate is slightly fatter in expression at first, with more butter and macadamia nut, but then recedes toward zesty grapefruit peel flavors.

    Champagne Canard-Duchêne 2015 Brut Millésime Champagne

    Price range: $59.99 through $330.00

    France
    This beautiful sparkler hails from Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages like Ambonnay, Chouilly, Verzy and Avena. It’s fresh, clean, soft, and dry with bright acidity and luscious mousse. The creamy palate provides flavors of apple, brioche, lemon, almond, dried apricot, pear, minerals, and white flowers. A winner on it’s own and a good companion for seafood especially caviar.
