August Kesseler started making wine in 1925 as a 19 year old at his parents’ small winery. When he started, they made mainly bulk wine but young August had grandiose plans for the estate. Like some of the other greats we’ve talked about, he focused on soil and winemaking methods to make something special, not just a lot of it. Nearly 100 years later, the winery is one of the very best in Germany’s revered Rheingau region – home to some of the very best white wines made in the world.
What started as less than 3 hectares under vine has blossomed into nearly 33 present day. That covers some of Rheingau’s top sites like Assmannshäuser Höllenberg, Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg, Lorchhäuser Seligmacher. They only make two wines, and they’re both outstanding: a Riesling and a Pinot Noir.
Rich in slate, quartzite, loess and loam, these wines are some of the most minerally expressive wines in the world. Marry that with the vines age (all 25 years or older) and you have something truly special.
That’s probably why more than 100 cases disappeared in the matter of three weeks. Restaurants can’t get enough wine like this. Pure, fruity, playful white wines with lots of personality, lots of brooding flowery and citrus aromas, and a mean mineral streak that is second to none. This is truly a dynamic bottle of wine.

The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
