Domaine Barmès-Buecher is a family affair from the southern Alsace, striving to create the most expressive and powerful wines as Mother Nature will allow. Domaine Barmès-Buecher is completely biodynamic, an ancient and organic way of farming using no chemicals. This process, although incredibly time-consuming and expensive, allows the vines of Domaine Barmès-Buecher to be healthier and to produce riper, more balanced fruit than any of their neighbors.
The secret to these aromatically dynamic wines is the strength and vitality of the vines from which they originate. Only vines like these can create their Cremant d’Alsace, a bone-dry sparkling Blanc de Blancs. It’s a blend of Chardonnay and all the Pinots; Auxerrois, Blanc and Gris. Made in the method of champagne, with no dosage, this elegant sparkler is intensely aromatically, bursting with mineral laced fruit. The bubbles are so fine, the fruit, generous, layered, just perfect for any occasion.
As long as I can remember, the family never sends this one in for scoring, but it just so happens this year they did. Suckling unsurprisingly fawned over this beauty with a huge 94-point for the category, and he raved, “What a beautiful balance this round, generous, creamy and silky sparkling has.”
94 Points, James Suckling
What a beautiful balance this round, generous, creamy and silky sparkling has. The delicate mousse really caresses the palate at the long fermentation. So many delicate white fruit aromas and just a hint of toast. A cuvee of pinot gris, auxerrois and chardonnay. Matured for 19 months in the bottle before disgorging in November 2022. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now.

Fresh off its feature as one of Wine Spectator’s ‘Exciting California Values Under $25’, winemaker Matt Cline looks to stay hot with his release of the 2019 Contra Costa Zinfandel. This one is a beauty crafted off old-vines that are now between 110-140 years in age. There’s a ton of darker fruits that drive this one with a dusting of baking spice. The fruit is pure, fresh and long making it both delicious on its own or terrific with a burger, BBQ ribs, or grilled leg of lamb. Crazy cheap for what is in the bottle, load up!

“The 50% Moscato Bianco, 50% Brachetto is one of the most distinctive sweet wines in all of Italy. Exotic floral and spice accents soar out of the glass. Rose petal, mint, sage, dried herbs and hard candy play off bright acids and an overall feeling of crystalline energy.” -Antonio Galloni

Their Brut Rose Cava is outrageously good- no doubt a product of the limestone-rich soils that work so well with the Trepat grape used for the wine. It’s got a great floral nose along with wild red berries and a powerful and refreshing crispness from sip one with fresh citrus fruit and dry, tiny bubbles that gives this a great viscosity. If you’re a sparkling Rose drinker, this one deserves your attention for sure.
One of my favorite places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. Although it is better known for the Moscato, Cortese should be one of its calling cards because in almost no places of the world does it thrive like it does here. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Cortese is the product of old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. It shows that Gianna can do far more than make some sweet whites! It’s got great notes of white peach, lemongrass, tangerine, jasmine blossoms and honeydew with a little salty lime zest on the finish. A great choice for a house white and the perfect pair for a pizza with a white sauce.
