Every once in a while, one of those ‘no brainer’ offers pops up. One of those where every question you have is emphatically answered and all that’s left is to hit the ‘Buy the Case’ button and await your wine. That’s today to a T. This is an Italian cult winery.
Today’s wine is always one of the best white wines I try any given year. It’s flat out delicious. This years’ rendition appears to be another beauty, with the wine being recognized last week for the 2nd straight year in Eric Asimov’s $20 under $20 ‘Top Wines of Summer’ series.
Asimov called it, “so good and so reasonably priced that I regularly tout its virtues.” Ian D’Agata, the long-term Italian specialist for Vinous took it a step further when he declared for all to read, “let me be clear: I think it is probably Italy’s single greatest white wine buy.” And while I’m torn, and don’t think I can take away that particular crown from Domenico Almondo, for the price, there is simply no denying just how great ColleStefano’s Verdicchio really is.
Led by owner Fabio Marchionni, ColleStefano has earned an incredible reputation both locally and internationally. They even are referred to as, “”The gem of Verdicchio di Matelica”. As Vinous points out, “[Marchionni’s]’s Verdicchio di Matelica is not just mineral and steely, but ages extremely well too (ten plus years).”

This is a spectacular new release – a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay from one of California’s hottest spots. As bright and refreshing as you could want, it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality creeping in on the finish. It’s a fantastic wine for summer, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
A Nicholas Wines favorite every vintage and the perennial by-the-glass Sancerre at Gramercy Tavern and Danny Meyer’s other Union Square hot spots, this is always a fantastic bottle of Sancerre. Super intense aromatics with crisp stone fruits, Asian pear and that signature Bué minerality streak. Vibrant fruit and acidity with tremendous balance and depth. The perfect pair for seafood, and a wine that you can enjoy now and over the next 5-7 years.
The Lauverjat Pouilly Fume 2021 was born just across the Loire River from Sancerre, where the soil is rich with river deposits, Portlandian limestone, and Kimmerdigian limestone. It really is the triple threat of soil, and this flint influence gives the wine incredible depth and beauty. It was entered in the Gilbert & Gaillard International Wine Tasting, where it won the gold medal and was called “a multi-award winning Pouilly-Fume made from old-vines” in a review that ended with a simple declaration: “As good as it gets.”
The newly released 2021 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last three vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
