It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to take Melissa up to New York City to eat and we are missing some of our favorite spots. It’s always been one of our traditions to head into the city on Monday Nights and try out some of the city’s “can’t miss” spots.
One of those spots was Molly Nickerson’s Marea, in addition to great cuisine – they’re masters of finding phenomenal wines to pair with their oysters and caviar or one of their great Crudo creations.
The last time we were there – it took Melissa ordering her second glass (before the first course was cleared) for me to realize I might have been missing something. I really think she might’ve let me go the entire dinner without telling me how good it was!
There it was though – a perfectly dialed in, piercing mineral Sancerre courtesy of Foucher Lebrun. And at 30 bucks a glass, worth every penny.
When NYC’s restaurants suddenly shuttered last year – I was able to snatch up hundreds of cases of abandoned Sancerre from the top accounts in the city. Of course, by now, you would think that ship would have sailed, but last week when I was trying to procure a few Mother’s Day bottles for Melissa – I stumbled onto more than I was banking on.

92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This is a huge favorite of folks in the Red Bank area. It’s a bold, unapologetic Chardonnay with juicy notes of peach, lemon sorbet, baking spice and vanilla with a rich, creamy middle and plenty of natural acidity to balance it out. The lemon vanilla finish is perhaps the wine’s calling card or the sheer drinkability of it all. Either way, it’s a Chard that people adore. It’s no wonder Wine Enthusiast called this, “a big win for fans of this bold style”.
For years now, I’ve been absolutely delighted by the White Burgundies at Domaine Corsin. There’s really good reason for that. The Corsin’s holdings in Pouilly-Fuissé include many of the best situated sites in the appellation. This wine comes from a selection of older vines grown in these limestone soils. The current vintage is simply showing fantastic at the moment. The 2020 Corsin Domain’s Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vieilles Vignes’ displays a bright golden hue with a hint of green. Its subtle bouquet with a woody-vanilla note enhances the slightly sharp, sophisticated fullness on the palate mingled with a generous underlying impression of toasted bread.
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.
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.
