Our mystery case series has never coincided with this kind of weather before, but I’ve been preparing for a while for the occasion. I’ve got some great recommendations of wines that will shine in the back yard, at the pool or at the beach.
I told my suppliers that once the Nicholas Faithful gets introduced to a fabulous wine at a great price, they are extremely faithful (that’s why we call them that) and they will reorder many, many times over. The trick is just getting them to try your wines.
I told them to choose their best bottles – only the ones that are going to knock people’s socks off once they taste them and then sell them to us at a massive discount. I’ll keep the case contents a mystery so that the wineries don’t get upset about the prices on the internet.
For the spring/summer edition of the mystery case, I’m dialing up a ton of fantastic bottles that just beg to be served in a chilled glass somewhere picturesque on a warm, sunny day. I’m talking bone dry Roses, crisp, mineral whites – quaffable reds and just about everything you’ll need for June and beyond.

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
90 Points, James Suckling
Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
