If you’ve ever been to Northern Italy, specifically the Alto Adige region, you know that wine is not a job but a way of life. That’s especially true of Bolzano, a beautiful hillside town that serves as the gateway to the Dolomites. There’s a famous Italian old saying, “Venice floats on water, Bolzano floats on wine.” If you’ve been there you know why. Vineyards run through district lines, through town centers, through everywhere.
If you want to find the very best wines from the region, you look for sun soaked plateaus and southern facing slopes — but really you don’t have to look any further than the monastery that sits on the edge of town belonging to Muri Gries.
For over a century, monastery life and vineyard life have been inextricably intertwined. Their steadfast devotion to the land and the grapes has produced wines of extraordinary flavor. Certainly not ones for pomp and circumstance, the wines have largely flown under the radar.
Quality Pinot Grigio from the Dolomite Mountain range of Alto Adige can often approach thirty bucks and frankly many are well worth it. But at today’s price, this is a case buy.

90 Points, Vinous Media
The 2019 Pinot Grigio lifts from the glass in a pretty display of ripe peach with a lemon twist, crushed stone and hints of morning dew. There’s a textural interplay, as silky waves are contrasted by citrus-tinged acids and minerals, which also adds liveliness to its ripe orchard fruits. The palate aches for another sip throughout the cheek-puckering finish. This is an excellent, energetic Pinot Grigio that may be even better after six months to a year in the cellar.

95 Points (Gold Medal), 2022 Decanter Wine Awards
The expert reviews on this incredible new release from Herve Fabre are insane. 90 points and a ‘Best Buy’ designate from Wine Enthusiast, 90 more from Suckling. Ditto from Vinous who called this “young, firm, with well-worked tannins and good structure”. But in a crowded see of nearly 20,000 wines at the Decanter Wine Awards in 2022 – this stole the show. The only 95-point, Gold medal Cabernet that you can get for under $20/bottle, its second straight year in the most rarified air.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
95 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 94 Points,Wine Spectator
Robert Parker, Jr. gave it 95 points and called it “one of the finest Warre’s I’ve ever tasted” and “a profound example of Warre vintage port.” Additionally, “Tasters should take note of the wealth of peppery, licorice-scented and flavored raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. Look for it to be ready to drink in 10-12 years, and keep for 30+.”
