If you don’t remember, here’s how the Chad Project works. Wine making is an incredibly cashflow poor business. Money is laid out for grape contracts, barrels then glass, labels, many months to years before a single dollar flows in for the vintage.
Chad works with some of the top wineries in the country – offering cash for what’s in the barrel and a promise to never disclose his exact vineyard sources in exchange for 50% or more off the usual prices.
2019 is Chad’s best so far and given what happened with the wildfires in 2020, it may be his last for several years. While prices are already skyrocketing throughout the valley – we were already locked and loaded with CHAD for this season!
A fantastic compliment for pretty much whatever food you can throw at it, the 2019 is absolutely bristling with energy and crunchy red fruits. It’s refined and elegant with a cola finish that also flashes delicately woven, smooth tannins.
The wine is very fine aromatically, with a high-toned, black cherry nose kissed with just a touch of spice. The fruit is absolutely pure Pinot, bright and vibrant. For the price, it’s absolutely killer Pinot.

Across the board, Sergio’s wines enjoy an incredible vibrancy. They are big wines with such a streak of elegance, a quality rare in any part of the wine world. His newly released 2020 Barbera d’Alba was fermented and aged in a steel tank so it is completely about the fruit, no oak influence here. It’s clean, concentrated, zipped up Barbera, as good a food wine as any we have offered at Nicholas Wines.
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in the 2018 vintage. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
“Sometimes the impact of a winery is so positive that it enriches a whole area with its quality, consistency and continuity. This is true of Fattoria Zerbina.” – Gambero Rosso
Made by Cristina Geminani, who Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called, “one of the best in all of Italy”. With both brighter acids and darker fruit than Chianti Classico, the Ceregio is brilliant ruby color, with racy, black cherry fruit flavors, and probably the longest finish I’ve ever tasted at any where near this price point.
Anne Sery’s graceful ode to the Left Bank. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with odors of black raspberry, violets, and creme liquor. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and bay leaves and a smooth, savory finish. Having seen no time in tank and all in oak, it is layered with long smooth tannins and a full-bodied supple mouthfeel.
