When the Oddero family started out in the Piedmontese wine trade in the 1800s, winemaking was a marginal commercial enterprise. Grower-families sold their grapes to co-ops or their wine in bulk—but the pioneering Odderos began to domaine-bottle and offer their wines commercially. Amassing land in Barolo sounds like a no-brainer now, but it wasn’t at…
When we see a truly staggering score on an affordable bottle, we run to our laptops to make sure it’s right. But with the 2017 Finca Bacara Time Waits For No One Monastrell, we found all the proof we needed in the glass. One sip of the juicy and polished blue- and black-fruited 2017 Finca…
On the two-hour flight from Chile to Argentina, our plane bucked and rocked with turbulence, buffeted by winds swirling off the snow-tipped peaks of the Andes below. We don’t love flying, but our white-knuckle journey was justified by an extraordinary find—the Argentinian Malbec that everyone is talking about, a wine of cool-vintage freshness and lush,…
The Bottle Sommeliers are Saving for Themselves The newest appellation in Burgundy, Viré-Clessé is quickly distinguishing itself as one of the best villages in the Mâcon, and proving a worthy competitor to neighboring Pouilly-Fuissé—where vibrant Chardonnays like this command a far higher price. Florent Rouve’s wines are insider wines—the kind Paris and New York sommeliers…
It’s too risky: Too cold. Too steep. Too tough to farm. That’s what the old guard told Lester and Linda Schwartz when they purchased the site for Fort Ross Vineyard in 1988. But the couple carried on, undaunted. Fast-forward three decades. Pinot powerhouses like RAEN, Gary Farrell, and Pahlmeyer flocked in, crafting $70+ bottles from…
Foxen only made ten barrels of their 2017 Fe Ciega Pinot—and that’s a shame, because we wish every Pinot-lover in the world could try it. Lush but bright, aromatically explosive, and complex as the day is long, it shows exactly why the New York Times’ wine critic dubbed the Sta. Rita Hills one of “the…
The only winery to have TWO wines in the 1976 Judgment of Paris, St. Helena’s Freemark Abbey, is still on top, making some of the best wines in their history. So when they got their hands on some pristine Merlot from Stagecoach Vineyard, a favorite site of legends like Caymus, Cardinale, and Plumpjack? Great wine…
Estate-grown, hailing from some of the most renowned real estate in Napa Valley, and sporting a 95-point score from Vinous, the 2017 Frog’s Leap Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford has a résumé that more than justifies a triple-digit sticker price. That’s why Antonio Galloni, in his glowing review of the “gorgeous” 2017, called Frog’s Leap…
Michelin-2-Star Find and Parker’s Highest Rated Greek White On a recent trip to NYC, we stopped in at the bar Michael White’s Michelin-two-star Marea for crudi and antipasti—after all, we were still feeling quite European after a two-week stint in Bordeaux. Scanning the 34-page wine list, we went straight for white Burgundy, but our eye…
750 miles and at least $25 per bottle. That’s what separates Napa from Washington’s Columbia Valley, the source of the 2017 Gard Vintners The Don—a Cabernet-based red we pegged at about $50 as our first long-lingering sip faded. But once Eduardo revealed it was from Washington State, we adjusted our estimate down, settling on $30….
The 2017 Gérard Raphet Chambolle Musigny Les Bussières Cuvée Unique is great Burgundy from a classic producer, and at a reasonable price. With its aromas of pomegranates, fresh raspberries, and baking spices hovering above the glass and paving the way for a fresh palate of summer berries, and earth this is a Pinot Noir that…
One of the highlights of the year for Burgundy fans is the North Berkeley Imports spring tasting. This past March, we knew we’d be in for a treat when we walked up to the Gerard Raphet table, whose line-up of Pinots is easily among the best in the world. What we didn’t expect was to…
A Wine & Spirits Top 100 Chardonnay for Under-$30 James Suckling took the words right out of our mouths when he wrote: “Simply put, this is one of the best value Australian chardonnays being made,” awarding 94 points. At just $27.99 for this white Burgundy look-alike that won a spot on Wine & Spirits Top…
The famous Perno vineyard in Monforte d’Alba produces some of the most structured, muscular, dark-toned wines in all of Barolo. Elevated and hilly, it’s a “celebrated vineyard site” that “brings on the power,” according to Wine Advocate. That’s only part of the story though. For us, it’s the aromatics of Perno—they’re simply some of the…
Unoaked, young Rías Baixas Albariño is a joy to drink, especially when paired with freshly shucked oysters—but it’s also only half the story. The 2017 Granbazán Limousin Albariño represents the other half. From an estate hailed by Decanter as one of Spain’s greatest producers of Albariño, this classic Galician-coast cuvée displays a stunning Meursault-like richness…
Grand Napa Vineyards’ 2017 Reserve would be a rock-solid buy at its $110 SRP. With deep black fruit aromas accented by toasted vanilla and tobacco and a full body framed by dusty fine tannins, this is the kind of buy-it-to-believe-it bargain that has us thinking back to the good old days of under-$50 high-quality Napa Cabernet….
This morning, we shared our story of visiting the man behind Hidden Ridge—and the Cabernet that resulted promptly disappeared. While there isn’t more Piece of Work Cabernet, we refuse to leave Wine Access members hanging—and Timothy isn’t our only connection to premier Cabernet Sauvignon at an insane value price. Let us present Grawlix, a seductively…
The name Chateau Montelena has been gilded ever since their Chardonnay took home the top prize at the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting. Mike Grgich—who had emigrated from Croatia and worked under André Tchelistcheff and Robert Mondavi—was the winemaker behind that Chardonnay. Needless to say, its performance made him a star. Grgich Hills is still…
Flouting Trends and Following Tradition This is the time of year when lunches at Wine Access get good: when we grab a bottle out of the ice bucket and take it for a short walk, over to the sunny patio at Hog Island Oyster Company. Our order never varies: two dozen Tomales Bay oysters and…
Our Guerrieri Rizzardi offers have a habit of selling out in well under 24 hours—the record is four, the average is a touch over six—and earning stunning reviews from our members. However, we had to wait months for a new allocation of their sumptuous 2017 3Cru Amarone because there’s just so little of it out…
