Many of you have raved about his Oregon Pinots that have pretty much become a Nicholas Wines exclusive and Bertrand has been very generous with his pricing for his ‘Nicholas friends’ (that’s you guys).
But Bertrand called me last week, asking me(?!?) for a favor. It seems the ambitious winemaker just couldn’t help himself and while working on his Oregon Pinot Project, he decided to begin work on a clandestine Chardonnay.
The winemaker responsible for the 11-thousand dollar per bottle DRC Montrachet just fell in love with a tiny parcel of Oregon Chardonnay, atop Winter’s Hill in the Dundee Hills and adjacent from Domaine Serene. “With breezy, cool nights, it bore a surprising resemblance to my favorite Vosne-Romanée parcels. I couldn’t help myself. Just four barrels. What’s the harm?”
Well – the harm was he didn’t necessarily have the blessing of the brass back home and they didn’t really want their five figure per bottle winemaker lending his hands to a Chardonnay off the books.

The newly released Torrontes from Herve Fabre is a fantastic bottle of wine for the price tag. A delicious, crisp white wine treat from our good friend Herve. Crafted in Valle de Uco in the Mendoza region, this delicious white offers delicate aromas of white flowers, orange blossom with a touch of lime that adds a delicious lift to the wine.
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 2020 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 2020s 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.
Etienne Daulny is the latest in a very long line of Daulnys to farm Sauvignon Blanc near the tiny hamlet of Verdigny in the appellation of Sancerre. He is currently in charge of farming over twenty small parcels including some incredibly well respected fifty-year-old vines. This is a classic Sancerre, aromatically dynamic, with intense fruit, distinct minerality and blazing acidity. It’s the white wine we drink most often at home. Beautiful structure and length to this.
For those of you looking for a semi-dry Riesling to pair with seafood, salads, pastas or poultry, you don’t have to look any further. Ratzenberger is a benchmark in the region and their consistency in making expressive, classy Riesling continues with the newly released 2019 Kabintt Feinherb. It manages to bring to the table savory, sweet and tangy acidic notes. It’s a versatile bottle of white, that’s for sure.
