I don’t want to sugar coat this. We are ahead of the curve and have locked into a substantial amount of pre-tariff wine but these will not be available for very long and the offers will be earlier than a typical year.
Here’s my advice. I’ll be laying out several of these over the next 30 to 45 days. I’ll let you know what they are. If you see something you generally drink – even something you want to be drinking on a hot summer day in June or July, I’d buy it by the case now. Prices will spike and even worse – many skus won’t be imported at all this year.
That being said – the first is a doozy. Many of you fell in love with one of our new producers in 2020. The fourth generation of the Cherrier Family produced one of our most popular Sancerres of the year.
Precious little of their wine ever makes it stateside and today’s wine is no exception. The 2019 La Croix Poignant’ is a single-vineyard selection of older vines – 25 years all the way up to 70 years of age, with the older vines imparting a lot of character and depth. Harvested by hand, every care is taken with this very special cuvee.

Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
Gold Medal (Best in Show), 2023 Mundus Vini International Tasting
The area has also been isolated from the rest of Spain for generations, which has kept the wine prices far lower than wines of this quality would be anywhere else in the world. That’s why, despite having the Torres family name on the bottle and the consistent huge press (including the Gold Medal & Best in Show at the 2023 Mundus Vini International Wine Awards in Germany), these wines can still be scooped up for under $20/bottle. It’s like the Sancerre pricing of yesteryear.

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.
