128-year-old Liquid History — for $26/Bottle??? Old vines, throughout the world, are valued for their intensity, concentration, power, and in sum, their majesty.

Joey Tensley’s 2014 “Tenshen White” … Wine Spectator’s Top 100. 256 words We’ve been doing a rope-a-dope. Ducking and dodging. Keeping elbows in to protect our mid-section.

A Hermitage-Worthy White from the Rocky Hills of Mendocino Occasionally, great things need to be conceived in isolation, far away from the moderating or conforming influences of the crowd. Even Superman needed his Fortress of Solitude, that lonely ice castle removed from human society, where the superhero retreated to think superhero thoughts. In 1992, wine…

The French Laundry. Gramercy Tavern. Marea. Each of these titans of the restaurant world makes sure its wine list has room for Steve Matthiasson’s coveted Napa Valley White. With his 2015 Matthiasson White Blend, The San Francisco Chronicle “Winemaker of the Year” has given ample reason why such room is made. But this rich, vivacious…
Chateau Bonnet Blanc is a brilliant, very pale yellow color with silver highlights. The bouquet is particularly expressive, revealing citrus and white floral notes (broomflowers).

This wine goes beautifully with marinated prawns, oysters, or even mussels…

This new addition to the Harvey & Harriet family brings a fun, medium gold tone at first glance. Hints of tangerine, pineapple, and honeydew exude from your glass in this aromatically driven delight. A subtle saltiness with nutmeg undertones lead you into this lighter in body wine that still manages to possess a unique, restrained…

I’m tasting the stars!” at the Abbey of Hautvillers in Champagne, he may have learned how to make sparkling wine at Limoux in the Languedoc, where the first record of sparkling wine dates to the mid-16th century. That legacy lives…
Drama, electricity, nerve, acidic, racy, excitement, alive. Choose your descriptor. This is a drop dead gorgeous bottle of white wine. It evokes classic Sauvignon Blanc and also is clearly a Bordeaux Blanc with breed and class way beyond its price point. Bright color that seems to sparkle like a neon light. Lifted perfume of honeysuckle,…
