By far – the top selling Pinot Grigio in Nicholas Wines history is Diego Bolognani’s delectable example from high atop Trento overlooking the Dolomite Mountains. The Bolognani family is very unassuming, but have been quietly crafting some of the best Pinot Grigio in the world for almost 70 years now.
There’s really no close second to Diego’s wines in the region. But that’s not just me saying that. I’ve been on the phone with a handful of producers throughout Alto Adige and Trentino. When I tell them I’m looking for a replacement for Diego Bolognani, there’s been a consensus groan on the other end. Here’s what one of the producers told me: “A replacement for Diego Bolognani? That’s not possible. His Pinot Grigios carry immense weight in Italy; he is viewed as an icon.” Welp.
So it’s with a good deal of sadness that I have to report that Diego Bolognani has decided to retire. This wine life isn’t an easy one and the business will not be passing on to the next generation. So the 2020 Bolognani Pinot Grigio will be the last ever.

If I had to think of one wine to pair with a hot dog and the works it would probably be Diego Bolognani’s brilliant Pinot Grigio.
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for summer, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
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.
We are super lucky to get a small shot at this one which is usually nearly an exclusive for the AltaMarea group. The newly released 2022 Sancerre “Le Mont” from Maison Foucher Lebrun is zipped up and juicy yet offers up complex aromas of gooseberry, citrus, fresh-cut grass, with a tropical zest. On the palate, the wine is very clean and crisp, full-bodied and laser focused, with a good core and a long, tasty finish that offers a dash of minerality and salinity.
Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the widely praised 2021 vintage where quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
