Joel’s story is a modest one– it’s the familiar American dream story, a hustler who was a nice, well liked guy in the food and wine industry, and finished first — making countless friends and connections along the way.
Joel’s story starts in the early 1990’s when he and his brother Duncan, both fifth generation Californians in the wine business, saved up enough money to buy Palisades Market in Calistoga. Eventually the two put enough blood and sweat equity into the project to grow it into a must-stop shop in the Napa area, known as THE purveyor of gourmet food and fine wine.
The biggest takeaway Joel learned from his time in the retail wine industry was this: $15 is the magic price. If you had good wines available for $15-20, people were willing to take a chance on the wine, even if they hadn’t tried it before. Nothing sold like a good under $20 wine that pairs well with food.
And so Joel and his wife set out to start “Joel Gott Wines”, a brand of multiple varietals all priced under $20, all food friendly. Twenty years and countless connections later, Joel Gott represents some of the best bargain wines in California, Oregon and Washington. They snuck into the Wine Spectator top 20 last year in their annual Top 100 Wines of the Year list, and they continue to make wines that are priced fairly and over deliver.

Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
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.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
