Anyone who enjoys vibrant, low-alcohol white wines from the Old World that deliver incredible quality-price ratio should fill their wine fridges with Le Petiot. When current inventory runs out on wines like Vincent Ricard’s Touraine Sauvignon Blanc, Le Petiot, the 25% tariff will make these either a lot more expensive or just not around anymore as importers choose to focus their sales on wines not affected by the tax.
The Touraine, just west of Sancerre, is a terrific source for crisp and aromatic Sauvignon, originating from vineyards on the southern bank of the Cher River. Vincent’s vines are tended organically in flint-laden, calcareous soil which lends a great brightness to the wine. Le Petiot is made in tank to preserve the inherent fruitiness of Sauvignon.
It is a superb choice for a “cocktail” wine, as an aperitif or to accompany just about anything from sea. The real truth is there is no replacement for wines like this so stock up while we have it at the Tuesday night price!

An Old World treasure, and one of my favorite sauvignon blancs every year. The 2018 is even more crisp than I remember from previous vintages.
Pair with all types of seafood and goat cheese.
Jean-Claude Janin’s Domaine des Terres de Chatenay estate has 7 hectares of naturally farmed, old-vine Chardonnay with his vines rooted in some of the most mineral soil in all of Burgundy. The resulting wines are electric renditions of white Burgundy, with high-toned, floral aromatics, a deep concentration of green apple and pear fruit and a laser-like finish that is stony, a touch saline and a mile long. The 2021 is an extra notable year – despite a lower than normal yield, the quality across the board in Burgundy is exceptional.
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.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
For only the second time ever, we got our hands on Sea Smoke’s elusive, exclusive and exquisite Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay. This is the famous cool climate Chardonnay that helped propel this tiny winery into the elite stratosphere and cult status that they enjoy today. Made with Dijon and Wente clones, they use stainless steel as well as French oak foudres and demi-muids to ferment their Chard, producing and elegant and laser focused Chardonnay.
