Today’s 2017 LIOCO Sonoma County…

His family has lived in Sonoma since the ‘40s, he’s been in the wine game for nearly his entire adult life and has built a…
It’s been a challenging year-long wait for master winemaker Rick Longoria’s Cuvée Diana, so we were ecstatic to receive the new vintage—a Chardonnay lover’s Chardonnay that shows the best of the Sta. Rita Hills at a price that will recalibrate your idea of what’s possible at $30. “The 2017 Chardonnay Cuvée Diana is just gorgeous,”…
The finest Chardonnay in the world has always been grown on the east-facing calcareous hillsides of Burgundy. From Meursault to Pouilly-Fuissé, excellent white Burgundy marries tightly wound apple-pear concentration with a riveting acid backbone. But bargain-hunting in Burgundy these days is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Today, we have at least one…
Our weekly judging panel can get heated, as Wine Team members pour their wines then advocate for them, trying to convince the skeptics at the table (and there’s always one) that their wine is worthy of Wine Access members. But every so often, a wine will make an open-and-shut case for itself—and the sheer pleasure-to-price ratio…
Vintage Champagne: We’ve always considered it one of life’s true luxuries—and therefore about the furthest thing from common. But if any bottle proves it can be both, it’s the 2017 Champagne M. Brugnon Blanc de Blancs. This is the follow-up to the sell-out 2015 bottling that earned some of the most impressive member-ratings of almost…
Elegant Case-Buy Chardonnay Meet your new, irresistible house Chardonnay: the creamy, lemon-curd-infused 2017 Midnight Cellars Willow Creek release. Cultivated in the windblown Willow Creek District, this Chardonnay gets its freshness and luscious fruit concentration from Paso Robles’ vast day-to-night temperature shifts, which are some of the most extreme in the Golden State. And Midnight cellars isn’t…
There are a few California Chardonnays so painstakingly made, so eminently ageable, and so gloriously complex that they can electrify the senses and evoke quiet contemplation in one single sip: Kongsgaard’s sought-after The Judge, minerally and historic Stony Hill, and the completely captivating icon of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Mount Eden. One taste of the…
Schramsberg is the most iconic sparkling wine producer in the United States. Their wines are unquestionably the best in class, and channel the great maisons of Champagne in a uniquely generous California style. The 2017 Schramsberg Vineyards Blanc de Blancs Brut North Coast California is a pure Chardonnay stunner with aromas of ripe Asian pears,…
With an allocation of Joey Tensley’s mouthwatering 2017 Fundamental Central Coast Chardonnay ready to go, we’ve got to emphasize, italicize, and triple-underline our advice on Fundamental: Figure out exactly how much you’ll need. Then order double, because the 2017 Fundamental is the kind of white wine that tends to disappear fast anyway—a refreshing, full-bodied, and…
The 2017 Tobias Blue Oaks Chardonnay is one of the most striking single-vineyard Chardonnay deals we’ve ever found. Meticulously grown by two families with peerless wine knowledge, it shows off one of the fastest-rising regions in California in a white that drinks well above its $25 SRP—and we’ve got it for $17. For the white…
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate has called Trinity Hill “one of Hawke’s Bay’s outstanding producers.” The wines are poured at Michelin-starred establishments like Eleven Madison Park and Michael Mina. We fell first for their Syrahs, but this Burgundian-style 2017 Chardonnay—with “such good depth and drive” according to James Suckling—represents the absolute height of the sub-region. An…
When we find a wine that delivers both sophistication and universal appeal, we take note. When we find a wine that delivers sophistication and universal appeal for under $20, we take numbers, names, emails, addresses, we hold the door, we’ll take out the trash if we have to. RARELY have we come across a wine…
Vincent Girardin’s 2017 Les Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fuissé comes from perhaps the greatest white Burgundy vintage of the last decade. This wine is absolutely hitting its stride today, boasting a combination of rich texture and flinty minerality that’s the hallmark of Burgundy’s best winemakers. Girardin was born into a family of winegrowers, with a legacy dating…
This 2017 Wightman Napa Chardonnay is as golden, rich, and expertly balanced as it was in its last vintage under the name Orrin Sage—when Wine Access members made it one of our top-selling Chardonnays of the year. Big, bold, and delicious, it was its very popularity that made that wine such a force to contend…
Exclusive Dream Deal on an All-Time Favorite There’s only one place outside of Australia you can find Xanadu’s straw-hued, mineral-driven 2017 Chardonnay, a sleek, crisp exemplar of Margaret River verve—and that’s right here at Wine Access. In line with Xanadu’s sterling record of critical hits over the past decade, this “elegantly composed” bottle won 95…
It’s hard to overstate how much the enthusiasm of our members makes our jobs easier. The pioneering Australian winery Yering Station has a rabid fanbase Down Under, so their wines rarely make their way to US shores. However, we’ve been able to slowly build a relationship over the years, thanks to sell-out after sell-out and…
Imagine a hot Burgundy producer decreed by Vinous to be “now very clearly a name to watch in Chablis,” describing their 2018s as “incredibly exciting.” Picture a 31-year-old winemaker who managed to coax rave praise even from Burghound’s Allen Meadows, who pronounced today’s stunning white Burgundy effort to be “succulent” and “delicious.” If you have…
There’s Chablis, the standard-bearing Chardonnay from northern Burgundy, and then there’s exceptional Chablis. Today’s 2018 Domaine Long-Depaquit Vaillons Premier Cru falls squarely in the latter camp. Vinous founder Antonio Gallonicalled the estate “very clearly a name to watch in Chablis,” and praised this ‘18 as “a wine of total precision and class… simply terrific.” But…
The 2018 Albert Bichot St.-Véran is so alluring, so crisp and complex that we wouldn’t have dared let it disappear into the cellars of Burgundy’s savvy wine-buyers. If the torrent of four- and five-star reviews are any indication, Wine Access members couldn’t be happier, calling this Chardonnay “fantastic,” “awesome,” and the “best expression of unoaked…
