Seth was fast and furious on leaving his mark on the California wine industry. Joining Swanson at the age of 17, it was only three years before he was plucked to join the team at Caymus. And while working his way up the ranks, it was Seth that Chuck Wagner tasked with leading their new Pinot project which involved Chuck sending Seth to Burgundy for four months to bring back the secrets of high-density planting.
Never one to slow down, Seth left to start something of his own – LOLA – in 2008. His approach was incredibly refreshing. “I wanted to stand for quality. I wanted to make wines that have integrity and purity at good price points that I could afford to drink.”
The critics took notice.
“Seth Cripe set out to make a range of delicious, affordable wines. The Lola wines are fresh, bright and made without a lot of fanfare, all of which make them ideal for informal drinking.”
— Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
At 22 bucks it’s another sensational value from Seth to drink over the coming couple of years.

Seth never really had to struggle to sell his wines. You see, Seth’s side hustle is one of the hottest restaurant caviar brands (served at The French Laundry, Per Se, Meadowood, Bottega, Marea, Boulud, etc …) and his amazingly priced small production Chardonnay was gobbled up upon release.
So that’s how we found his wines initially and since restaurants have been at half capacity at best for the last year, this is why we’re the first call now instead of the last.

Light in style and approach, this graceful white opens in reductive matchstick before opening into a wider world of pear and butterscotch. Fleshy, rounded texture makes it appealing and balanced against its thread of persistent acidity.

From just west of Sancerre, Vincent’s vines are tended organically in flint-laden, calcareous soil which lends a great brightness to the wine. The wine is crisp and aromatic Sauvignon, and is a superb choice for a “cocktail” wine, as an aperitif or to accompany just about anything from sea.
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.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
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.
