When you talk about American winemakers on the world stage, the very first winemaker to be mentioned would probably be Miljenko Grgich. Already thrust into the limelight when he crafted the sensational 1969 Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon, he was then tasked with making a Chardonnay to compete against the best of Burgundy for the 1976 Judgement of Paris.
Many believed that Chardonnay in particular would be a varietal where Americans would be laughed off the stage. But as you all know the story by now, Mike Grgich’s 1973 Chateau Montelena was chosen as the best white wine in the world, sending shockwaves throughout the wine community and cementing the U.S. winemaker’s legacy amongst the world’s best.
On the heels of his big victory, he left Chateau Montelena just a year later in 1977 to start his own winery with partner Austin Hills. Together, they settled on a magnificent plot of land in the Rutherford AVA in the heart of Napa Valley, and named it Grgich Hills Estate.
Since then, the Grgich Hills team has systematically ticked off every great accolade in the industry. In 2017, his Estate Grown Chard earned its highest ever rating from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who highlighted the wines’ “energy, racy backbone and spice laced finish.”

Stunningly complex with aromas of smoke, brioche, toast and a little flintiness. This is beautifully balanced with a blend of sweet apple, oyster shell and gentle sweet oak. A classy wine with such potential to develop further.

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.
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.
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.
The Picq Chablis is absolutely killer and so good for the money. Vinification takes place in a stainless steel vat so it comes out with tons of pent up energy that slowly unwinds with time in the glass. Green apple, pear and lemon lime notes highlight this one, but the chalky minerality steals the show for me. What a beauty.
