This one comes from Casa San Matía a distillery with over 130 years of history operating in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. They have long been a serious player, known for their uncompromising approach to crafting the best tequila. They’re lead by Carmen Villarreal who has has worked closely with the expert craftswomen and men of Casa San Matías for decades, honoring traditions while also spending big bucks in order to make the excellent Corazón tequilas that they do.
Crazy enough, this one actually comes from a barrel I picked out in 2020. It actually fell off my radar after months and months of not receiving it – I guess I just assumed it was a casualty of the pandemic and would eventually be worked out.
Unbeknownst to me, in it rolled last week – my own numbered single barrel – bottled and labeled with the crisp Nicholas Reserve name over the super rare green Reposado label. I’m not even sure they’re making this anymore, but if they are – I promise the price is nowhere near the deal I locked into pre-pandemic. Talk about timing too – right in time for cinco de mayo and spring. This is the perfect Tequila to drink by itself neat, on the rocks or even part of a cocktail, as it’s totally delicious but also available at a super juice price.

Like all of my single barrels, please don’t confuse this with the “regular” bottling. This is nothing like it in terms of depth of flavor and overall quality.

Fresh off a huge feature in The Wall Street Journal in which they were crowned as the top Prosecco Rose in a lineup of 14, I suspect what was once our little secret will explode. James Suckling also finally got around to tasting it and gave it 91 points. I’d rate it even higher. The 2021 Bisol Jeio Brut Prosecco Rosé is remarkable, and simply put, mouth-wateringly delicious. Inviting aromas of flowers and wild strawberries, with a complex mouthfeel that sings with citrus fruits and creaminess from the tiny crisp bubbles.
Stephan Steinmetz is a star in the Mosel wine region. His old vines are rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone, the exact same vein of rock that winds its way from Sancerre through Chablis and Champagne to its final out-cropping here in the Obermosel. His Elbling is glorious — both completely unlike anything I’ve ever had and also eerily familiar. The color is almost clear, some might call it silver. A stunning nose of green apples and lemon peel gives way to fresh pear and bright citrus fruits on the palate. It’s a stunningly focused wine with a healthy dose of minerality and acid zip, not unlike great Sancerre/Chablis and bone dry.
91 Points, James Suckling
The Bisol “Jeio” Prosecco NV is a delicious sparkler that comes from the Veneto region of northeast Italy. A brilliant straw yellow color, the first sip is an intense and fresh nose of citrus fruits and saline sensations. If you love fruit forward sparklers… this one is for you.

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
