HWhen New Jersey natives Anthony & Michelle Faustini caught the wine bug in the early 2000s, they got it as bad as I’ve ever seen. That’s been a great thing for all of us back home.
The two didn’t just start by buying a random ton or two of grapes while they got their feet wet in the whole business. They dove in head first, starting with grapes from the historic Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard for their first test batch. Next, they brought in Opus One & Clos du Val alum Kian Tavakoli to head up the winemaking.
Over the next 15 years, they’ve built quite a cult following producing wines off some of the most famed locations in the valley: Sauvignon Blanc from Galleron Road Vineyard in Rutherford, Cabernet at just two tons per acre from Howell Mountain, and Haynes Vineyard in Coombsville for Cabernet and Chardonnay.
That’s all well and good, but the Haynes Vineyard Chardonnay has always been slightly out of our reach, so we usually have the Faustini’s Money Road Chardonnay. And while it’s a rock-solid bottle of Napa Chard, it doesn’t quite have the pedigree (or the score) that this baby does today.

A beautiful nose of caramelized orchard fruits, lemon curd, charcoal, and honeyed flowers. Medium – bodied on the palate with terrific overall balance and nicely integrated acidity, this is a terrific Chardonnay with loads of class.

Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.
Sonoma Coast is well-known as a cool-climate region, perfect for growing Chardonnay. That’s why it’s such a big deal for Route Stock to transition over for the first time from Carnernos over to here. The newly released 2022 beams freshness and comes packed with a delightful energy in its youth. It has a pale straw color with lime hues. The aromas are of honeysuckle, orange blossom and creme brulee with layers of vanilla and a hint of toffee. The palate is lively yet soft with flavors of lemon cream pie and merange.
Stephan Steinmetz is a star in the Mosel wine region. His old vines are rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone, the exact same vein of rock that winds its way from Sancerre through Chablis and Champagne to its final out-cropping here in the Obermosel. His Elbling is glorious — both completely unlike anything I’ve ever had and also eerily familiar. The color is almost clear, some might call it silver. A stunning nose of green apples and lemon peel gives way to fresh pear and bright citrus fruits on the palate. It’s a stunningly focused wine with a healthy dose of minerality and acid zip, not unlike great Sancerre/Chablis and bone dry.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
