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.
For years now, I’ve been absolutely delighted by the White Burgundies at Domaine Corsin. There’s really good reason for that. The Corsin’s holdings in Pouilly-Fuissé include many of the best situated sites in the appellation. This wine comes from a selection of older vines grown in these limestone soils. The current vintage is simply showing fantastic at the moment. The 2020 Corsin Domain’s Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vieilles Vignes’ displays a bright golden hue with a hint of green. Its subtle bouquet with a woody-vanilla note enhances the slightly sharp, sophisticated fullness on the palate mingled with a generous underlying impression of toasted bread.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
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.
