For many years, Clos Julien has been my go-to wine for that first-sip wow factor. The CJ team has an incredible knack of finding some of the most amazing vineyard sources – many just off the critical radar – allowing me to provide customers with immense value (for a while, until everyone else catches up).
This year, they snuck into the blazingly hot San Luis Obispo Coast AVA – a few weeks ahead of the Department of Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) declaring it the newest official appellation.
The new region is being called out from the surrounding region as being a Burgundian grape-growing paradise. The main influence is the proximity to the Pacific, which according to weather data has this clocking in as the coolest AVA in the state. The enormous diurnal temperature swings and Pacific wind create the perfect conditions for the highest quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
So for this vintage only – we have our favorite Chardonnay from the SLO-Coast (locals call it the ‘Slow Coast’ labeled with the much larger Edna Valley AVA, and for our trouble, we’ve got it at half the price of what they wine will sell for when released under the new official AVA!

Delicious by itself as an aperitif but a fantastic foil to the cuisine of summer, scallops, grilled poultry, and summer corn.
Every year, this wine has proven to be a Nicholas Wines staple. The newly released 2022 Frenzy Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a fabulous value white wine, loaded with green apples, pears and white peaches plus a hint of spice. It’s juicy and fresh, the perfect cocktail hour white. It’s what is referred to as the perfect ‘pool wine’. It’s great paired with just about anything or just enjoyed on its own.
It’s no wonder this is a hot little ticket amongst some of NYC’s best restaurants; this is a killer wine at a great price. The 2022 Petit Chablis has an attractive nose of citrus rind, white flowers, and wet stone. In the palate, the wine is racy and mineral with just a touch of salinity. The hallmark of the great 2022s will be tension and length and Sébastien’s little wine has both in spades. The acidic/mineral cut will make this fantastic at the table and a great candidate for short term aging.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
This hits all the right notes. Crisp and bright with crazy aromatics flashing floral notes, orange blossoms, lemon-line, honey, ginger, and honeydew with nectarine and passionfruit flavors and a super clean, citrusy finish.
