If you’ve ever been to Northern Italy, specifically the Alto Adige region, you know that wine is not a job but a way of life. That’s especially true of Bolzano, a beautiful hillside town that serves as the gateway to the Dolomites. There’s a famous Italian old saying, “Venice floats on water, Bolzano floats on wine.” If you’ve been there you know why. Vineyards run through district lines, through town centers, through everywhere.
If you want to find the very best wines from the region, you look for sun soaked plateaus and southern facing slopes — but really you don’t have to look any further than the monastery that sits on the edge of town belonging to Muri Gries.
For over a century, monastery life and vineyard life have been inextricably intertwined. Their steadfast devotion to the land and the grapes has produced wines of extraordinary flavor. Certainly not ones for pomp and circumstance, the wines have largely flown under the radar.
Quality Pinot Grigio from the Dolomite Mountain range of Alto Adige can often approach thirty bucks and frankly many are well worth it. But at today’s price, this is definitely a case buy.

The 2019 Pinot Grigio lifts from the glass in a pretty display of ripe peach with a lemon twist, crushed stone and hints of morning dew. There’s a textural interplay, as silky waves are contrasted by citrus-tinged acids and minerals, which also adds liveliness to its ripe orchard fruits. The palate aches for another sip throughout the cheek-puckering finish. This is an excellent, energetic Pinot Grigio that may be even better after six months to a year in the cellar.

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
From the famous family behind Peyrassol, comes a new Cotes du Provence smash hit. The wine is pale pink in color with notes of small wild berries on the nose complemented by a hint of juniper. This spiciness lends weight to the liveliness on the palate reminiscent of exotic citrus fruits, creating a crisp, harmonious and refreshing ensemble. Spice lingers on the palate for a full and round finish.
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
