Poitout Chablis 'Vaucoupin'

Premier Cru means extra layers of flavor and elegance. Bright fruit, laser minerality, and just enough richness to shine at the table. Serious wine, ridiculously good value for Premier Cru. Basically the James Bond of white wine — sharp, cool, and never out of style.

Prejuges Chardonnay

Cabardès has not always been a favored site but its intense limestone soils are beginning to consistently offer Burgundy-like nerve. It’s tasty wine, but maybe the best part of the story is that Cabardès is named for the 13th Century Lords of Cabaret – seriously. Picture Joel Grey or Alan Cumming astride white stallions, swords a-glinter in the sunlight, horses prancing. Okay, you just can’t un-see that image, can you? Drink this incredibly tasty number and try to forget we said this.

Prisoner Cabernet

Querceto Toscana Rosso

Castello di Querceto sits in the hills above Greve in Chianti, where the François family has been making wine since 1897. They helped pioneer what became known as Super Tuscans. This isn't some upstart operation chasing trends. This is the OG group doing new things. Their Toscana Rosso is a blend of Syrah, Merlot, and Sangiovese that spends eight months in French oak. Think dark raspberry and blackberry with a plush, supple texture.

Quilt Napa Cabernet

Quilt is a new brand from Joe Wagner, the man who invented Meomi. It was so popular the he sold nearly a million cases a year before he handed it off to Constellation Brands for $315 million. With all that sweet jack, Joe has started Quilt; this Cabernet Sauvignon is blended from vineyards throughout Napa Valley all connected by Joe's family - the people who brought you Caymus.

Raffaello Moscato

Don’t hate Moscato Spumante because it’s dolce (“sweet” in Italian and everything sounds better in Italian). Just picture yourself on a Vespa, driving through Roma, winking at everyone and saying “dolce!” like you’re in a Fellini movie. La Dolce Vita!

Raffaello Prosecco

Until recently, for Australian producers (and others), Prosecco was a grape and not a place. Recent changes Italy made to how Prosecco is classified, by renaming the grape in these wines as Glera and deeming Prosecco a place and not a grape, mooted any possibility of other countries insisting that they were just naming their wines Prosecco as a varietal designation. Maybe it helped, but Prosecco blew up, internationally speaking. Raffaello is by far, in a sea of Prosecco producers, the best value we have ever tasted.

Rase-Montagne

This wine is bold, juicy, and just a little wild — like the night that always starts with “just one glass.” Syrah brings the spice, Alicante brings the color and body, and together they make a blend that’s smooth, powerful, and far too easy to finish. Pairs with grilled meats, late-night pizza, and questionable decisions. Big, bold, and guaranteed to stain your teeth… and maybe your reputation.

Robert Goulley Chablis

Chablis has seen frost, hail, and heat in recent years — but 2023 brought balance and generosity. Robert Goulley nailed it: ripe, fruit-forward Chardonnay layered over that classic Chablis chalk and stone. It’s fresh, bright, and ridiculously easy to love. The big names hog the spotlight, but this is the kind of authentic, terroir-driven Chablis insiders grab first.

Roche Bousseau Anjou Blanc

The beautiful Château de la Roche Bousseau was constructed in 1433, though much of it was destroyed after the French Revolution and rebuilt thereafter. Vines were planted in 1791 and have grown to almost 200 acres of Chenin Blanc and the other usual Loire Valley grapes. Chenin creates a simple enough wine in most places, but in Anjou the grape offers wines that can be complex, complete and exciting.
