Chateau Tour St-Christophe 2018 St-Emilion Grand Cru
$49.99

Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
Emerging from a beautiful, terraced vineyard on the eastern side of Saint-Emilion, the 2018 Château Tour Saint Christophe is based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc that was brought up in 40% new French oak. Its vivid purple color is followed by a great nose of blackcurrants, blueberries, tobacco leaf, chocolate, violets, and chocolate. Hitting the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, it has this wonderful sense of purity and elegance, a touch of chalky minerality, flawless balance, and a great finish. This beautiful, elegant, seamless Saint-Emilion needs 4-5 years of bottle age but will evolve for 20-25 years. You won't regret having this in the cellar. 95+. SP54-8 R7-2
Bydand 2017 Pinot Noir

Sonoma Coast California
Wine Spectator 91 Rating
Refined and well-structured, with concentrated dried cherry and raspberry flavors that feature notes of hot stone. Allspice accents linger on the fresh, minerally finish with hints of white pepper. R40-3
Taylor Fladgate Golden Age 50 Year Very Old Tawny Port
$339.99

Portugal
Wine Advocate 97 Rating
The NV 50 Year Old Tawny Port is a field blend bottled with a bar-top cork in 2022 and with 158 grams of residual sugar. Mature, with dark chocolate nuances, this is rich, deep and sensationally delicious. The concentration is exceptional too. Then, there's the long, long finish, filled with fruit and sugar. It is irresistible, in addition to being nuanced and complex. It's young enough so that it is never just a curiosity. The fruit is certainly not cracking. Drink: 2022-2060. Wall-2
Diatom 2024 Chardonnay
Price range: $24.99 through $216.00

Santa Barbara County California
Jeb Dunnuck 94 Rating
Based on 100% Chardonnay and aged six months in stainless steel vats, the 2024 Chardonnay has a medium to light gold hue and offers exotic citrus, minty herbs, and subtle tropical flower notes that all define this clean, crisp, remarkably pure Chardonnay. It puts on weight and richness with time in the glass and is a terrific mix of both richness and freshness. This is a no-brainer purchase for those who love Santa Barbara County Chardonnay, and I love its purity.

Domaine Michel Girault 2024 Sancerre Les Beaux Regards
Price range: $34.99 through $360.00

Loire Valley France
Beautiful pale gold in the glass. The nose boasts a concentrated medley of citrus, melon fruits, green apple and a savory herb. A layer of crushed stone weaves into the racy fruit. The palate darts with acidity with a concentrated mid-palate. Delicious.

Trefethen Family Vineyards 2022 Dragon’s Tooth
Price range: $39.99 through $420.00

Oak Knoll District Napa Valley
This wine opens with generous aromas of ripe red fruit, blackberry, and a hint of warm spice. On the palate, bright cherry and plum skin lead the way, supported by steady tannins and a subtle richness that builds toward the finish. Notes of cracked pepper and a touch of tobacco add depth, while fresh acidity keeps the wine lively and balanced. Try this wine with bold, smoky dishes that can stand up to its structure and depth. Fatty cuts of beef, like ribeye, bring out its richness, while BBQ flavors highlight its spice and dark fruit character. A blend of 46% Malbec, 28% Petit Verdot, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Dolin Rouge Vermouth
Price range: $17.99 through $180.00

Chambery Savoie France
The particular mixture of plants found near Chambery give a fresh, restrained and elegant nose, with a subtle, complex bittersweet palate. Even the Blanc and Rouge retain great balance, with the sugar never cloying, and just enough bitterness to whet the appetite. Each can be enjoyed as aperitif on ice, with a twist of citrus, or in a broad array of traditional cocktails.

Domaine De La Janasse 2020 Chateauneuf Du Pape Chaupin
$89.99

Southern Rhone Valley France
Jeb Dunnuck 99 Rating
I was blown away by the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Chaupin, a 100% Grenache release that comes almost exclusively from the Chaupin lieu-dit in the northern part of the appellation. It's never as inky-hued or powerful as the Vieilles Vignes but always screams Grenache with its sexy, ripe, seamless, and remarkably elegant style. The 2020 offers a translucent ruby/purple hue as well as incredible aromatics of blackberries, black raspberries, peppery garrigue, herbes de Provence, and flowers, and it opens up nicely with time in the glass. Full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, it has silky tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. I finished my note with “a Grenache lover's dream.” This is up with the finest vintages produced and will evolve for 15+ years. SP33-10
