Cristina Brunori has her work cut out for her in some ways. Old vines, mineral soil, and the temperate winds of the Adriatic all help produce perfect Verdicchio grapes and she says her job is to not mess up what Mother Nature is so good at making.
Despite the impeccable pedigree, the wines represent some of the best bang for the buck anywhere. I’ve been buying and enjoying these crisp, white wines since the day we opened the restaurant. I’m not alone– Morandi, the Italian branch of Keith McNally’s Balthazar empire’s take more than 100 cases every year as well. It’s no surprise why. Very rarely can one find such aromatic complexity and food friendliness in an under $20 bottle of wine.

Tank-fermented and aged Chardonnay from the heart of Burgundy is a classic pairing for summer cuisine of all types. The Talmard family have been naturally farming Chardonnay vines in the village of Uchizy for generations. Vinified in tank with no oak influence makes for the purest of Chardonnays; fresh and fruity, with ripe-pear fruit and zippy acidity. It’s a classic summer white.
Vincent’s wines are now the darlings of I don’t know how many Michelin star wine lists (36 at last count). Perhaps more importantly, his wines are universally beloved by the Nicholas Faithful but perhaps none more so than his tiny “Les Trois Chênes” cuvee. Drawn exclusively from the oldest parcel on the estate planted by his grandfather in 1947, these ancient vines have burrowed deep into the limestone rich soil – providing a freshness and startling minerality typically only found in the top wines of Sancerre.
The 2019 Clos Julien is a classic example of California coastal Chardonnay, zippy-fresh and long on the palate. It starts out with a great nose of Granny Smith apple, citrus rind and acacia. In the mouth, the fruit is pure, with plenty of extract and the finish is clean and crisp. This Pacific-influenced wine is the perfect house white, delicious by itself as an aperitif but a fantastic foil to the cuisine of summer, scallops, grilled poultry, and summer corn.
This wine is textbook Sancerre Blanc from the village of Bué, the highest in elevation in Sancerre with the most calcareous soil. It is a chiseled, tightly wound and incredibly complex Sauvignon Blanc, which I’d argue is one of the best in the world. In the 2019 vintage, the Carrou has a brilliant pale green color and soaring aromatics of green apples, pear and jasmine.
