I’ve featured Tre Bicchieri winners before such as Feudi Di San Gregorio’s Greco di Tufo and Fattoria Zerbina’s Ceregio, but never before one that also had a perfect five star rating. Today’s Italian white takes the cake. It even has me offering up a Gavi for the first time in a while.
La Toledana was built in the first half of the 16th century by the noble Genoese Imperiale family before being acquired by the Lercari family and later to the Cambiaso family. It’s been a staple in Piedmont for hundreds of years with a consistency in quality that very few can touch. Their 2019 Cortese di Gavi is absolutely electric.
For those of you who are worried that it’s 2019, fret not, this one was made for aging – it is a true Piedmont white wine. The Gambero Rosso gushed about its aging potential as well as the historic and unique plot from which it comes. They also raved about the impeccable freshness, which even with a few years of bottle age is abundantly present. This is a star.
The best part is I did my homework on this one so our price is absolutely the best in the country and by a long shot as well. Maybe the others don’t realize the gold they have?
$30 on release by the winery, for this old-vine masterpiece. $27.94/btl the cheapest you can find anywhere online. But today, for a short while, a run don’t walk deal here at Nicholas Wines!

Tre Bicchieri + 5 Stars – Gambero Rosso
An expression of courtesy that reaches its maximum splendor revealing, first of all, a great potential for aging. In a historic and unique plot here is an intense floral bouquet wrapped in a mineral veil between almond and peach grains. Splendid on the palate with a growing volume timed out by an impeccable freshness.

We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
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.
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.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
