Vegas’ Hottest Restaurant’s Obsession Named one of Wine & Spirits “Top 100 Wineries of the Year” LIOCO is the product of founders Matt Licklider and Kevin O’Connor who are fueled by a relentless search for meticulously farmed cool-climate vineyards in the Sonoma Coast. So, consider this: David Chang’s Momofuku at the Uber trendy Cosmopolitan Hotel…
Romanée-Conti’s Napa Superstar Winemaker Out of 17,000 wines judged, the 95-point 2015 Long Meadow Ranch Anderson Valley Estate Chardonnay was the highest-scoring California Chardonnay from the 2017 Decanter World Wine Awards. But we weren’t surprised. Long Meadow Ranch’s Hall family purchased 69 prime acres of vineyards in northern Anderson Valley in 2015, then they…
High Above the Sea Smoke The Sta. Rita Hills appellation produces some of the finest Pinot Noir in the New World, and if you want the crème de la crème—wines like Sea Smoke and Brewer-Clifton—it’s going to cost you. Or, you can take home the 2015 Longoria Pinot Noir Fe Ciega Vineyard. It’s the work of…
Out of 300 Burgundy wines tasted in a recent report, James Suckling zeroed in on only three whites from the Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru in 2015. He gushed in his 98-point review of this 2015 Latour Bâtard-Montrachet “the length and creamy texture capture your attention. Layered and beautiful. Just a baby now.” This can be considered…
Our many Louis Latour sell-outs have earned us generous access to their cellar—but one bottle has eluded us for as long as it’s been on our minds. It’s Latour’s exquisite Pinot Noir from Beaune’s rocky Les Perrières Premier Cru, a wine made in such tiny quantities that few US retailers ever see a case. Les…
The Greatest of Chardonnays Great white Burgundy is the Helen of Troy, the face that launched 1000 ships. The principle reason why Chardonnay is grown all over the planet rests in the reputation of a small section of Burgundy’s Cote d’Or. These wines have been adored by kings and emperors from time immemorial and thousands…
A Master of Burgundy’s Magnificent Mercurey Louis Latour fans—this is your day in the sun: Decanter Magazine was bullish on the 2015 vintage in the Côte Chalonnaise, calling the reds “a great success, replete with bargains,” a welcome alternative to the year’s more expensive neighbors just to the north in the Côte d’Or. You’ll find…
Bottled Sunshine from a Monopole in Burgundy Whether or not you’re sporting a radiant tan now, or staring out your office window at a snowbank, or rainstorm, consider brightening up and warming your entire disposition with today’s 2015 Louis Latour Meursault Chateau de Blagny Premier Cru. If there’s anything better than a rich, white Burgundy…
Capturing the Majesty of the Côte de Beaune If the limestone-strewn vineyards of Meursault, Puligny- and Chassagne-Montrachet, and Corton-Charlemagne produce the most glorious Chardonnays in the world, even the merely good ones run $50+ per bottle. But if you’re looking to capture the majesty that is great Côte de Beaune Chardonnay — especially in the…
1er Cru Puligny Dream Bottle The greatest white wines in the world are made on the hillsides above three tiny hamlets, mere miles from each other. Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Puligny-Montrachet are home to cellars that hold priceless Chardonnays locked in suspended golden animation. Today’s stunning, golden Louis Latour 1er Cru “Sous Le Puits” was ranked…
The monks of Cluny first planted the limestone hillsides of Viré-Clessé 900 years ago. As Bernard Retornaz, Louis-Fabrice Latour’s right-hand man, says, “Had the monks witnessed a vintage like 2015, the men of the cloth would have become full-time vignerons!” He wasn’t lying. The 2015 Louis Latour Viré-Clessé Les Champs is brilliant Chardonnay — rich,…
Two-Time Winemaker of the Year’s Must-Case-Buy Portugal’s reputation for over-delivering on quality is built on wines like the 91-point 2015 Luis Duarte Rapariga da Quinta Colheita Seleccionada Alentejano. Luis Duarte is one of the country’s most decorated winemakers, having placed two wines in the Wine Enthusiast Top 100 — including one at #2 — and…
The Best $12 Malbec We’ve Ever Tasted During our annual Christmas visit with the family to see the Nutcracker at the Met in NYC, we found ourselves paying more attention to a incredibly delicious Malbec poured by the glass than even the Sugar Plum Fairy doing pirouettes. The Valle Las Acequias Malbec has long been…
Our members can’t get enough M. Brugnon Champagne: It’s one of our top- and we sell TWICE as much Brugnon as we do the all-time-favorite bubbly, Billecart-Salmon. This is undoubtedly one of the jewels of the Brugnon collection. A back-vintage bottle from one of the top Champagne seasons in the past decade, it’s a vivid…
Parker’s Greatest Chapoutier Bila-Haut Côtes du Roussillon To Date In the Rhône Valley, three names rise above the rest: Guigal, Beaucastel, and Chapoutier, all members of Robert Parker’s 100-point club. While Guigal is heralded for its Syrah-based “La-La” Côte-Rôties and Beaucastel for its world-class “Hommage à Jacques Perrin,” enologist Michel Chapoutier is best known for…
From DRC to Maison Leroy: The Grand Dame of Burgundy There are certain names in wine that are just synonymous with greatness. Château Latour in Bordeaux comes to mind. Screaming Eagle in Napa Valley, certainly. Angelo Gaja in the Piedmont. Vega Sicilia in Ribera del Duero. In Burgundy, it would have to be Maison Leroy,…
The 2015 Marauder Southern Cross Misha’s Vineyard Pinot Noir is the kind of deal you score once in a blue moon. A single-vineyard Pinot Noir from a 100-point winemaker, this is the kind of deal we can offer thanks only to our connections in wine country. Drawing on his experience crafting 98-100 point California Cabernets,…
The Napa Insider’s Italian Inspired White I subscribe to the Massican mailing list for the same reason that many of Napa’s elite winemakers do, and it isn’t because Dan Petroski, 100-point winemaker from Larkmead and Massican’s founder, is the San Francisco Chronicle’s reigning Winemaker of the Year. It’s not because of the Michelin 3-star restaurants…
Bailing Ourselves Out at Gramercy Tavern There’s something about drinking elite Cabernet with a perfectly grilled burger that never fails to excite us. On our last visit to New York, we headed straight for Danny Meyer’s mecca of American cuisine, Gramercy Tavern, skipping a reservation, and opting for the bar to get our fix. Before…
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…
