Jesse Katz’ winemaking story has a funny beginning. When he was a teenager, he accompanied his father to the vineyard of famed French winemaker Olivier Leflaive. Olivier had two beautiful teenage daughters who showed Jesse around the vineyard.
End of story.
Jesse vowed then and there that he’d do whatever he could to return to that place: in a vineyard surrounded by grapes, just in case any women stop by. Barely a decade later, both Forbes and Wine and Spirits named him one of the “30 under 30” brightest stars on the culinary and beverage scene, and he has graced the cover of Wine Enthusiast magazine as a rising young star who is doing nothing less than “changing the way the world drinks.” Robert Parker, Jr. proudly declared that Jesse’s Malbecs are the best he’s ever had in California.
Just a few bottles but these are not to be missed!

The Tonelli family are royalty in this region, with four generations of grape growers leading the way and even establishing the local D.O.C. Their 2020 Ponente is 100% Sangiovese and is an absolutely incredible wine for the price. Less than $20/bottle for fleshed out, high-toned, zipped up Sangiovese? Count me in. It screams for pizza or summer salads, squash or a charcuterie plate. It’s about to be one of your new favorites.
This year, the Eastside Cuvee hails from a primo vineyard just off the Silverado Trail– perfectly positioned next to neighbors Caymus and Frog’s Leap and just down the road, Quintessa. Amongst the elite, Carl Roy’s team locked into some incredible fruit, with gorgeous blackberry jammy opulence, firm grippy tannins and that signature Rutherford earthiness to the finish that many try to emulate but can only be produced off the special soil from which this beauty was created.

” The 2016 Château Poesia is more open and showy compared to the Barde Haut, offering fabulous limestone-like character in its kirsch and currant fruits and notes of dried herbs, white truffle, and dried flowers. Possessing medium to full body, ripe, present tannins, terrific concentration, and a great finish, it’s another incredibly classy Saint Emilion from the Garcin-Lévêque family.”
Obviously, I can’t tell you all the details of the vineyard source but I can let you in on a few of the details. Crafted using fruit from 1000-1500 ft in elevation, Chad’s 2019 is cool climate Pinot at its best– especially given the price tag. While similar wines (very similar wines) will fetch a $45 price tag, you can snag it today just less than half off that price on bottle one. There’s no surprise this is the #1 wine of the year in 2020.
