“The Mouton-Rothschild of Australia” We love a good simile. And James Suckling gave us the best one ever, when he called Leeuwin Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon “the Mouton-Rothschild of Australia.” So, then, just how does this Australian First Growth compare to the tried and true Bordeaux First Growths? One glance at our chart, and you’ll…

A 6-Pack Exclusive from the Master of Santa Barbara Pinot Noir Antonio Galloni likes to call Santa Barbara “one of California’s best-kept secrets.” It’s no secret which Pinot Noir-makers blazed the trail there, with Jim Clendenen, Richard Sanford, and Michael Benedict all churning out acclaimed wines and establishing Santa Barbara’s “rich legacy of historic Chardonnay…
Louis-Fabrice Latour’s “Petit Charlemagne” This one’s short, but never sweeter. While Jean-François Coche crafts the most priceless Corton-Charlemagne ($2,000/bottle), Louis-Fabrice Latour is far and away the appellation’s largest landholder. Louis Latour’s massive 25-hectare limestone swath, perched high above the variegated tile roof of Château Corton Grancey, is the most impressive Grand Cru holding in Burgundy….
Pulling a Louis Latour out of the cellar is something we always look forward to. Its iconic bottle and recognizable label are enough to excite friends and family—but we love to see their expression, especially when we pull out a wine like today’s 2013 Louis Latour Puligny-Montrachet “Sous le Puits” 1er Cru, one of the…

The news did not surprise those of us who have been following the region’s rise. Wine Enthusiast…
“I am NOT drinking any (expletive) Merlot!” — Paul Giamatti, “Sideways” While the Academy Award-winning film “Sideways” jump-started Pinot Noir sales in Santa Barbara County, it also stuck a dagger into the heart of one of Napa Valley’s most successful varieties — Merlot. The same variety responsible for the great wines of Bordeaux’s Right Bank, including…
Depth, Generosity, and Beautifully Delineated Hot off the press — in a just-published 95-point review, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate said the 2013 M. Marengo Barolo Bricco delle Viole “shows excellent depth and generosity with lively fruit flavors.” Antonio Galloni called it “precise, aromatically expressive and beautifully delineated” in his review. Given the scores, and the…
They don’t call Barolo “The King of Italian Wines,” for nothing. With the possible exception of Burgundy, no region quite shows off its terroir like Barolo, and this is your chance to secure a phenomenal example of Piedmontese terroir. Simply put, it’s hard to go wrong with 2013 Barolo. Antonio Galloni, the top Italian-wine critic in…
They don’t call Barolo “The King of Italian Wines,” for nothing. With the possible exception of Burgundy, no region quite shows off its terroir like Barolo, and this is your chance to secure the rare Mazone Giovanni Barolo Castelletto, a 95-point single-vineyard stunner. Simply put, it’s hard to go wrong with 2013 Barolo. Antonio Galloni,…
Marcassin (French for “little wild boar”) established their 20-acre vineyard in the mid-90s, and famed winemaker Helen Turley and her husband John Wetlaufer began garnering 100-point praise almost immediately. It has established itself as the imminent Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producer of the Sonoma Coast, and arguably California. This was always the type of bottle,…
2013 Martin Ranch Pinot Noir R*E*D Vineyard 56% off. Time to break a vow… When we signed on for this gig, we swore we’d never do this. We’d never “cede authority to a buy box!” Today, it’s time to break our vow. After four straight short-harvest vintages from 2008 to 2011, California was rewarded with…
When we tasted Massimo Rattalino’s 2013 Trentoquattro34 Barolo at a trattoria in San Francisco’s Mission District, it sent us reeling: Just beginning to soften after six years, this Barolo was bursting with aromatics of black olives and dried roses, laden with deep red and black fruits, and integrating beautifully. That first sip told us it…
From Silver Oak to Stags Leap: 92-94pt Matthews Claret at 63rd and Broadway When Wine Enthusiast named Michael Madrigale the #1 Sommelier in America, many in Manhattan wondered what took the magazine so long. A half-dozen years ago, Daniel Boulud discovered the acuity of Madrigale’s palate and lured Michael to Bar Boulud. The lists at…
When Your “Second Wine” Lands on the Top 100 If you want to know how and why a Claret from Washington’s Columbia Valley landed at #27 on Wine Spectator’s most recent Top 100 list, you have to go back at least to 1999. That’s when Aryn Morell passed up a graduate degree in Chemical Engineering…
97pt Bombshell Ushers in Erickson Era at Mayacamas An incredible thing is happening high amidst the fog-shrouded redwoods of Mt. Veeder at Napa Valley’s legendary Mayacamas estate. For decades winemaker Bob Travers crafted mountain beauties that cellared magnificently. But in 2012, Andy Erickson (Ovid, Arietta, Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle) began consulting. Among the most respected…
Grand Cru Chablis in the Mayacamas We first discovered the majesty of Mayacamas Chardonnay at a tasting in NYC in the summer of 1989. Drawn from some of the highest-elevation Chardonnay plantings on the coast, the 1981 Mayacamas was unlike any Chardonnay we’d ever smelled or sipped. Brilliant golden in hue, a drop-dead knockoff of…
2013 Mendel Cabernet Sauvignon — The 93-Point Makeup Our lunch with Anabelle Sielecki was almost everything we’d hoped for. The proprietress of what most believe to be Argentina’s greatest boutique estate is brilliant, elegant, and charmingly self-effacing. She described the path that took her family from Nazi-occupied Poland to Buenos Aires, and from Buenos Aires…
