Many of our favorite roses have already sold out for the year and for those that remain there are precious few bottles to go around. While today’s offer is likely to sell out in just a few hours. Many of our rose options will be completely depleted for the year by this weekend. But – at least we’re going to go out on a bang!
As Covid thrashed the restaurant business all over the world, many like Restaurant Nicholas, Union Square & the rest of the Danny Meyer restaurants were forced to shut down. Often leaving caches of restaurant exclusive wines unsold.
A few weeks ago, we were able to help out USHG team by selling their go-to by-the-glass Sancerre (24 bucks a glass & worth it!) to Nicholas Wines customers for less than $20 a bottle. Unfortunately, we’re back for round two.
Just as Janine & Teddy Crochet were hitting their stride with the top restaurants in NYC, from Union Square Cafe to The Odeon, this year, there was no home for their inimitable Sancerre Rose to land. Lucky for us, I guess. The 2018 Crochet Sancerre Rose is drawn from the high elevations of Janine and Teddy Chrochet’s Pinot Noir vines in the village of Bue. The conditions are perfect for delicious Sancerre Rose. Salmon-pink in color to the brim. The nose is pretty, featuring aromas of roses and cherry fruits. The wine has terrific fruit, juicy citrus and berries which lead to a racy, high-toned finish that screams for good food.
Bound for a few select NYC wine lists at $96 per bottle. $27 retail. Today – while it lasts just …. $18 per bottle, $16.20 per bottle on cases. That’s no typo.

In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
From just west of Sancerre, Vincent’s vines are tended organically in flint-laden, calcareous soil which lends a great brightness to the wine. The wine is crisp and aromatic Sauvignon, and is a superb choice for a “cocktail” wine, as an aperitif or to accompany just about anything from sea.

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
93 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
This is a Nicholas Faithful favorite. Even though it’s technically a non-vintage it was last disgorged in the 2020 vintage. La Cravantine, is a sparkling rosé of 100% Cabernet Franc, bone-dry, super fresh and with bubbles so tiny and fine, it puts most “real” Champagne to shame. Appealing strawberry and mineral scents are encased in a firm structure with a dry and spicy quality in the palate. This wine is incredibly versatile – perfect with just about any fish, fried food, or do like I do and enjoy it on it’s own.
