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.

Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!

Eric Guido of Vinous just reviewed a number of Bele Casel wines last week and lobbed heaps of praise for each and every one of them. For this one in particular, he wrote a great review that I agree with on multiple fronts. For one, he called out ripe orchard fruits and candied citrus which I think helps set this one apart. In the dry category, you rarely get so much pure, juicy fruit as you do in this one. He also noted the “chalky minerality’ before calling out ‘the amazing length and freshness’ of this wine which called an ‘excellent entry into the dry category’.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
