In the “city of a thousand fountains”, wineries such as today’s Maison Saleya, much like the Sabine from a few weeks ago, enjoy the distinct advantage of nearly 300 meters in altitude. At these heights, the cooler, windier nights allow for slow steady development, extended hangtimes and yield grapes with perfect acidic balance.
Maison Saleya combines the wonderful terroir of the Coteaux d’Aix with a terrific winemaking team, so I’m never surprised by all the high scores and all the accolades like last year’s “Best Buy” from Wine & Spirits Magazine.
With the Rose market coming back after last year’s shipping woes, folks have been jumping on every good Rosé they can get their hands on. But thanks to our support of Maison Saleya last year while most were idle, we’ve been given assurances that there will be enough for a Nicholas Wines Offer.
After the sample bottle crossed my desk last week, I can tell you that this is going to win people over from the first sip. It’s quintessential Provence Rose.
It floods the senses upon opening, hitting with waves of fresh tropical and citrus fruits and herbs de provence. It has vibrant flavors of red raspberry, nectarine and bing cherries with great tension and length and a hint of spice on the finish. Super well-balanced and well structured to boot, this one is really a delight.

Obviously, I can’t tell you all the details of the vineyard source but I can let you in on a few of the details. Crafted using fruit from 1000-1500 ft in elevation, Chad’s 2019 is cool climate Pinot at its best– especially given the price tag. While similar wines (very similar wines) will fetch a $45 price tag, you can snag it today just less than half off that price on bottle one. There’s no surprise this is the #1 wine of the year in 2020.

Poggio Al Sole is firmly in the elite wineries in all of Chianti. Their Chianti Classicos are consistently amazing and their work with Sangiovese has helped the entire region rise to incredible new heights. One of the wines that helps propel their status is the Primavera, a Rosato with far more weight, balance, and savory notes than most any Rose you’re likely to try.
This project has become one of my favorite things. Sending Eddie Russell’s Reserve Bourbon barrels down to Jalisco, Mexico to Espolon where fill them with their knockout Añejo Tequila. Then they send me back a barrel of our very own Tequila, with so many intricacies that separate it from any other I’ve tasted. All for a price that’s better than a regular bottle of good Tequila! Great on its own but surprisingly really enjoyable with food as well.

“The 2020 Nerello Mascalese Rosé di Adele keeps you at the edge of the glass with a delicate yet stunning bouquet of ripe peach laced with candied ginger and a dusting of sweet spice. Its textures are fleshy, yet the expression is lifted and spry, with a vivid display of freshly sliced pear, while drenched in minerals and motivated by lively acidity. There’s a crunchy feel through the finale, as the palate reverberates with residual tension…”
