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.

Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
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.
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.
